    PC shutting down after 2 minutes of booting

    Yes I solved the issue. the 3 pin power cable which comes from Cooler master lite 240 must go into CPU_FAN and then the cable from the radiators must go into SYS_FAN1. Now the PC is running without any reboot.

    How much is this RAM?

    I purchased this RAM and from the sticker it looks that it’s 16 GB. But when I put this on my computer ... it says it’s only 8 GB. Am I not installing it correctly? Or is the information on the sticker? http://imgur.com/CVE6xPy

    OK. I think I got a defective piece from the factory. I will need to return it. The diagram on their website clearly shows the power pins. https://www.asus.com/us/Graphics-Cards/ROG-STRIX-RX560-4G-GAMING/ But mine one has the connector missing.

    I got my case from a friend so I guess he took the preinstalled ones out. How do I buy aftermarket standoffs which highly fit into the case?
