Hey did you ever try this out? I've been trying to find any examples of people trying it out and this post is the only thing I can find online that mentions mixing the two. I actually have your exact same dell monitor and the TN panel is rough... Definitely should have listened to everything...

Oh yeah I honestly have never used the Turbo functions, so I can't give you much advice there. 59 is fantastic. You could definitely give your CPU a healthy overclock and still be well below dangerous temperatures. I'm also not too experienced with manually overclocking so I can't offer much...

No problem, glad I could help!

You can change your CPU fan curve in your BIOS. Depending on what motherboard you have, you will have multiple options you can set it to. With most BIOS's you can choose from preset fan curves such as Balanced, Performance, Extreme, etc. I usually just use Performance and don't have any issues...

Your motherboard only supports 2133 and 2400mhz RAM. https://www.gigabyte.com/us/Motherboard/GA-B250M-D3H-rev-10/sp#sp And it's generally recommend to get matching RAM, so same brand/model and speed. Speed is the most important thing to match though, mixing speeds can cause some issues. So...

No, you would be lowering speed (2400Mhz -> 2133 Mhz) for no additional memory. Also, If your motherboard supports dual-channel memory (it probably does) you would be losing that functionality if you only have 1 stick of ram installed. My understanding is that essentially what dual channel does...

Thanks for the heads up. The first time it happened I used hibernation mode, and then vowed to never use it again because I thought that was the cause. but now its happened a few times using sleep mode as well. Probably best to just turn it off.

Just wanted to put an update here, I went into bios and was playing around with the RAM clock speed, it was originally set on "auto" and I saw a thread on here about ram running slow and they recommended switching from "auto" to "XMP profile 1." I made that switch in the bios and now task...

Hey guys, first post here or any pc forum actually, so sorry if this has been asked a million times, but I couldn't find any posts where people were having my same problem. So the issues I'm having is that every few days after putting my PC to sleep for the night, when I get up in the morning...
