Hey guys, Recently bought a gigabyte X570 Aorus Ultra. I installed it with all components and started it up and it wouldn't post. I had a quick look around and realised the DRAM light was on on the board and around every 20 seconds or so it would switch to the CPU light for a second and then...

I should also add that none of the hardware is overclocked and that the PSU was replaced after the last one blew up. That's probably more important than the rest of the info I've given hahaha

Hey man, thanks for the reply!. I replaced the PSU in April this year, updated the bios to version F12e in march this year, and the version of windows I'm currently running is windows 10 home 64 bit 10.0.19041. The games it tends to crash in are rainbow 6 siege, Call of duty modern warfare, and...

Hey guys, recently my computer has been freezing during gaming sessions. It's only just started happening but I suspect it's my motherboard that is the issue. It's a gigabyte X570 gaming X model so it's fairly cheap but was all I could afford at the time. The reason I suspect the motherboard is...

I've dropped the voltage down to 1.1 and the core speed down to 3.8ghz through Ryzen master and now the temps don't go over 85c while gaming even though the idle temp is still 60c. I can't help but feel like something is wrong though. surely there's no way the only way the CPU will function...

Yeah I tried setting all fans to max and it didn't change. I'm going to try reseating the CPU and cooling block.

Oh ok, my bad hahaha yeah, it's set up the same as in the video.

I thought they were designed to run at 100% I don't even know how to do that

setup as per this videos instructions View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=II-LELRWGK8

by pulling air through the radiator I mean pulling from inside the case.

Yeah hahaha absolutely.

No, the AIO is positioned on the top of the case with fans inside pulling through the radiator. I hope that's the correct installation.
