That's a great idea - haven't done that yet. Will try and report back. Thanks!

Thanks for the tip. I did clean the slots and even the DIMM itself with no improvement. The case is also dust filtered so dust really wasn't an issue to begin with.

Sorry, should have specified. This is a desktop, though not OEM.

Hi all, A computer I built a few years ago for a family member has recently come back into my care. It has a very strange issue - it rarely boots at all (I'd say about one in twenty times), but when it does boot, it works absolutely fine - stress testing and memory checks included. I've tried...

Hi, and thanks for the informative answer! Your suggestion sounds great, but I would like to know: If I should stick to my initial plan (2x Phanteks as intake, 3xML120 as exhaust) - will the negative pressure be excessive? It's good to know about the differences between the 120mm and 140mm (I...

Hello, I've recently got a new chassis (Phanteks Enthoo Evolv mATX), and I'm having trouble deciding where to install the fans (I've got plently from previous builds) for the best cooling. Currently, I have: 4 120mm Corsair ML fans (~2800RPM) 2 Phanteks 140mm fans (~1600RPM) 1 140mm Corsair ML...

Hi, I've just tried again and for some reason my old settings suddenly decided to work! I suppose it just takes some burn in time... Thank you for your help!

Hello, I've recently recieved a new motherboard after my previous one died (an MSI B350M Mortar). On the previous motherboard I had my memory (Corsair Vengance LPX 3200Mhz) running at 2800Mhz with tighter timings (CL12). Yet now, using the new motherboard (with the same exact memory and CPU, and...

Hi, I've been tempering with the system for about a week, and I just can't stabilize the memory, on any frequency (including 2133Mhz!), Even after following the guidelines above. I did get close - I've found a set that mostly works (@3200) but still crashes when running certain programs and...

Hi and thanks for your answer! Though not in front of me right now, I bought the memory from the list. I'm sure it's on the list as I found the exact part number. As for the BIOS - That is indeed the version I'm using. I'll also take a look at the video and chime back whether it worked. Thanks...

Hello, I've recently upgraded my system to a Ryzen 7 1800x CPU, and I'm generally very happy, yet there are some strange issues I've been experiencing. First and foremost, I'm seeing very high voltage spikes on stock settings. Though the BIOS sets the vcore to 1.192, I'm seeing reading as high...

I've a friend who will soon be staying at the US, and he will be buying for me - that's one of the reasons I'm upgrading as prices are substantially better there. As for the warranty the vendors do swap for the same, except in my case they stopped selling the kit, hence this whole mess :/ With...

Hi and thanks for the answers! first, regarding overclocking - I know it's not that much of a difference, but tinkering with an 8-core proccessor has been on my list quite a while :) I'm planning on keeping it for a long time, so it's an option I'd like to have regardless. As for the warranty, I...

Hi and thanks for the answers, Regarding warranty - in my country warranty is done through the local seller, which replaced it with a Coolermaster Seidon 240V, and I'm not pleased with the performance (Currenty on an i5-4670K), not to mention one of the fans it came with is defective. I'm...

Hello, Some time ago, my liquid cooler's pump failed (Arctic Liquid Freezer 240). Since then I've been looking for a new one, yet I'm deterred from liquid cooling again as this is my first kit and it failed very early (~8 months of use under perfectly normal conditions). At first I was looking...
