I was unprepared for how long training would take on my Framework laptop kit with 64 GB of DDR5, and actually thought there was something wrong with it.
Nope, training just took minutes, with nothing but a black screen.
Similar with my new NUC which also used DDR5. I genuinely thought there was something wrong, powered it off and reseated RAM and such. Kept debugging it for about 30 minutes before I searched and found out it might be training. Left it alone and sure enough after about 15 minutes the display started showing stuff.
I returned a motherboard because I thought it was DOA because it wouldn't boot but in the end it was just training for 96GB. It took around 10 minutes of black screen before I saw anything.
