Getting back to the original issue, since I still have to install my new fan, I'll probably just let a professional do it if it means disassembling the PC.

I updated the post with my specs. The PSU is about 2 years old, bought in new condition. Inside the case isn't very clean, I sprayed it with an air can but it wasn't enough to clean 100% of the dust stuck to components, so it's pretty dusty. My hard drive and SSD are both pretty much always...

Yes, that's the fan and the step I was referring to. I'm replacing my old fan because my CPU was overheating (90-100 celsius). I tried reapplying thermal paste, didn't seem to help. It's pretty old, about 8 years or longer. The deciding factor in whether to replace it or not was when one of the...

I bought a noctua NH-U9S CPU fan to replace my old Arctic Alpine 11 fan, and I thought installing it would mean just screwing it on top of the CPU, but the manual says I have to take out the motherboard to install a backplate on top of it. My question is, how exactly do I install it? My PC case...

haha yes, i was indeed wrong to assume that only because i'm certain i ordered 16GB, then i certainly have 16GB installed.

well this is a very nice surprise! thank you for helping me resolve the "issue"

BIOS also shows 32GB. also, i tried disabling XMP in case that somehow was the cause, but no change. ok i will attempt this

definitely not. i bought and installed it myself. definitely Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 2666 MHz DDR4 DRAM (8GBx2) can still see it in my amazon order history.

i forgot to mention that i'm using XMP for 3200MHz.

my sysinfo shows: installed physical - 32.0GB available physical - 27.8GB total virtual - 36.9GB available virtual - 31.5GB page file space - 5GB and yes, on task manager under "performance->memory", it shows "memory 32GB" on top.

Windows 10 shows 32GB of RAM are installed instead of 16GB, in system information/task manager. What might be the reason? RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 2666 MHz DDR4 DRAM (8GBx2) Motherboard: Gigabyte Z390 UD rev. 1.0 BIOS version F8 OS: Windows 10 I also use an XMP for 3200MHz.
