Thank you very much! :))
So boards have memtest opinions available in the bios, but all you need is a usb stick and burn the image to it and boot from it.

Would you say itās okay to test all four RAMs at once as long as they are the same model?
I would definitely test them all at once if you intend on using them all together. Iāve had chips that could pass tests individually but not all together.
If youāre using all four in the system, test all together in the system.

I actually have one motherboard that is functional with DDR5 RAMs, so thatās why I thought of testing them all at once.
I do have a spare motherboard (the one I bought when I got desperate to get the CUDA offload work), but no CPU yet. 
So, I donāt plan to use them together. But thanks!

It is important to test the final configuration. Not just the memory modules, but the final assembled system as whole in the form it is supposed to be used, and then run the test.

I see.
However, I am short of money due to the unexpected expense, so all I can do now is to at least check the RAMs arenāt completely defective.
I mean, I can request a replacement within a month after delivery, but Iām afraid Iāll get the CPU after that time frame. 
But thanks for reminding me of the way the test is supposed to be done. 
Anybody having issus trying to update Nvidia drivers 590 in Ubuntu?

I donāt think thereās a version specific driver package at least yet. From Nvidiaās package repo, installing ānvidia-openā pulls in 590 series driver, but it is not good option for headless, since it has the desktop graphics things too which will pull a lot of desktop components in as dependencies.
But since your system is with graphical desktop (?), it is not an issue.
For headless installs, 580 series driver works too, so one can stick to it until thereās an update.

Yes! No issue with me! The only thing seems 590 still on beta not able to install the automatic way.
Edit:Running nvidia-open command I get same issue.
Will wait update as now using 580
No it is not beta. But given above you are pulling drivers from somewhere else than Nvidiaās official repository?
The Ubuntu ppa stuff is all ābetaā / unofficial.
I recently, like 2 days ago, upgraded to Trixie (Debian 13). While that process was fairly smooth it was a lot more steps than I was expectingā¦ but follow the manual and all will be well.
However, I was disappointed to find out the Trixie repository is using older Nvidia drivers soā¦ It was back to following the Nvidia documentation and using their repository. All extra steps. Not impossible, not difficult, just following the documentation until you find doc errors and then finding the new name for things to keep going.
After a bit of focus Iām on Trixie with the latest Nvidia drivers all to load the latest HQPlayer. Yeah me.
Anyway, I only tell my story because using the Nvidia repository seems to be a requirement with most distros. Thatās an extra step I donāt think is super clear anywhere. Ignore your distoās Nvidia install process and just use Nvidiaās so you have the latest drivers.

I used the tips u showed me last time.
Do I need to uninstall it and then run the command?
sudo apt remove nvidia-open-580 ā current version last part on command
apt autoremove --purge
sudo apt install nvidia-open <-new version last part on command
I also ran this command:

Iām lost donāt know how to proceed
I saw also this option but want to check first with you if is trustable:
For some reason you have the nvidia repository disabled. If āapt updateā is not fetching package metadata from the Nvidia repository.
apt update should list fetching metadata from the nvidia repo:

For me āapt install nvidia-openā certainly works and it is what Nvidiaās documentation says. So I recommend checking your /etc/apt/sources.list.d directory contents what repositories you have enabled.
I really donāt knowā¦ I wouldnāt use some unknown ppa repo.
Fixed!
Purge Delete all nvidia drivers
sudo apt-get remove --purge ā^nvidia-.*ā
sudo apt-get remove --purge ā^libnvidia-.*ā
sudo apt-get remove --purge ā^cuda-.*ā
sudo apt install build-essential
then
Installing from repository on Ubuntu Desktop
sudo dpkg -i cuda-keyring_1.1-1_all.deb
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt install nvidia-open
(Still booting with secure mode off, but I guess no issue right ? Also the custom kernel canāt boot if not using secure boot off. I guess is safe right? Or any command to reenroll them, I saw something, but I donāt want to mess things up anymore)
And had to be manually installed

Do HQPlayer and NAA use ptp automatically if there is a grandmaster on the network? Or I have to config that in their xml files ?
It is not relevant for NAA, since NAA doesnāt distribute/carry any audio clocks. NAA is totally different from Ravenna and such.

Ok, so am I right to assume, that there is not difference between using pi5 or up board for NAA OS. There would be no benefit to the latency regardless of the more advanced NIC pi5 carry.
If i have multiple HQPlayer licenses, wouldnāt it be better to use NAA instead of Ravenna ? I could stream from MacStudio to the NAA running on main HQPlayer Box. If it is not possible for HQPlayer Embedded to expose an input interface NAA could stream to, it is always possible with snd-aloop. I am not planning to build big network with lots of devices i would want to interconnect. The setup is pretty simpleā¦ MacStudio as the main source for audio content, because DJ Controllers work best with MacOS. This feed must stream into the digital mixer with USB input, and then the mixed master out to the HQPlayer for upsampling/room correction. I guess a Desktop License and two embedded licenses should do it.
tbh i find it wierd that upnp devices discover HQPlayer on the network, and can stream and override the current input. Roon also does soā¦ but an HQPlayer canāt offer another HQPlayer as an output device 
The overall hardware design on UP is better. Pi5 cuts more corners on the hardware design.
Why would anyone want to do something like that?
