I've been bounced around AMD support and forums trying to find the decoder ring for a failure as follows. What is Bank 17? The info I found shows bank17 as reserved. And bank 0 as LS. What is LS? Is there a description somewhere of what the the various banks are? Do we just replace the processor for any failure that shows bank errors? Thank you

I've been wondering the same thing since I bought this CPU over a year ago.

I really wish someone would answer this.

Certain programs are incorrectly reporting bank 17 ie: ras-mc-ctl says "bank Unified Memory Controller (bank=17)"

From the 17h Open source register reference pdf provided by AMD:

3.17.2 Mapping of Banks to Blocks
Table 23: MCA Bank to Block Mapping

banks 17 and 18 are listed as reserved.

AMD has not released a 19h version of this pdf.

dmesg:

[Tue Jan 3 10:33:28 2023] mce: [Hardware Error]: Machine check events logged

ras-mc-ctl --errors |tail

...

529 2023-01-03 10:33:28 -0700 error: Corrected error, no action required., CPU 2, bank Unified Memory Controller (bank=17), mcg mcgstatus=0, mci CECC, memory_channel=0,csrow=0, mcgcap=0x0000011c, status=0x9c2040000000011b, addr=0x3f1b62440, misc=0xd01a000101000000, walltime=0x63b466e9, cpuid=0x00a20f12, bank=0x00000011

They happen about once a day for me. It is a mystery what bank 17 is.

Can someone please clarify ?

Thanks.
