    ddr4 4000mhz c18

    Yes, it seems neither of my ram kits are listed, I don't think Asrock tested a 4000 rated kit from Team, a 3866 rated kit ran at 3866 according to the qvl. I have a feeling they just happened to not test either of my listed kits. I think I may go with team and save some $.

    Hot CPU socket?

    Hot CPU socket?

    Hey there, Ive tried overclocking my 8350 to 4.5 ghz at 1.4065v, but have failed, as my socket temp goes to 76c and my cpu will throttle in prime95.
