Aurora R12, under perfoming RAM issue

Question

Has anyone heard anything hopeful in regards to the Aurora R12 under performing RAM issue that seems to be a sweeping problem among Aurora R12 owners? Has Dell made any statement to indicate that they are at least aware of the problem?

If you are talking about gear 1/2 mode, this was by design.

Problem to us? Yes. To Dell? No. It's to their design as stated by them

What possible benefit is there to designing something  so that it doesn't operate as advertised?

Only laziness

Vanadiel · Answer

To be fair, they never advertised it. Intel did. I am going to say it's likely due to using the previous generation motherboard.

Rabbitdude · Answer

Dell never advertised or even mentioned anything about Gearing modes

Z490 supports gears 1 and 2. It's likely due to cut corners on the board abs it not being a true Z490 board and they just don't want to say they cheaper out so bad they ruined the R12s performance xD
