Okay, perfect! I'll take that into consideration when I decide on a new purchase! Thank you so much for all of your help on this.

Okay, after testing, both kits are able to run the 3600 XMP profile when put in the AS and B2 slots. It also works if both kits are installed, but the speed is manually set to 3200. Evidently I needed to do way more research before I bought memory for my new build :( Anyways, it seems like my...

So moving forward, if I am understanding correctly, it seems like I have 3 options: a) run it with two sticks, return the other two, and I should be able to hit 3600 b) run it with 4 sticks, but configure it to stay at 3200 or c) would it be better to send back the two kits I bought and buy a 4...

Updating, the ASRock website does not have an updated QVL list for my CPU, which is the Ryzen 5 5600x. However, on the generation below, my memory model is not listed.

Sorry, I should have clarified. The XMP profile is enabled at 3600, but it is still detecting the sticks as being maxed out at 2134. I can't find the memory finder utility that you are talking about, but if you can direct me to it I would be happy to take a look at the memory with it. I'm also...

Hey, I'm running 4 sticks of Corsair Vengeance DDR4-3600 RAM and the BIOS on my ASRock B550M Steel Legend MB is detecting them as being maxed out at 2132 Mhz. CPU-Z also shows this same max bandwidth, but even the part number that is listed on CPU-Z has a 3600 in it. I'm not sure if there's...

OK, good to know. The last time I built a system was about 7 years ago and back then BIOS flashing was a bit iffy/risky. I’m glad to know its advanced a bit in that time! Looks like I’ll just have to make sure to grab the updated BIOS and flash it before I install the CPU. Thanks guys!

I'm putting together a new build, switching over from Intel to AMD. After researching for a while it seems to me for my budget that the best option is to grab a 5600x when they come out, paired with a new B550 keyboard (I'm going with B550 because there seems to be a pretty general consensus...

Hey, I bought a new USB drive the other day, and attempted to reformat it to a different file system (I needed it to be in exFAT). For some reason, this completely tanked the drive and now when I try to access it (or even just format it again), it says "Please insert a drive." Of course, I have...

Thanks for the quick reply. I think I'll go with the Acer. It seems to fit everything I need.

Links are broken. I don't know whats up. Maybe its me? EDIT: Never mind I can't technology.

Hey there, the title says it all, best gaming monitor, bang for buck, I can get for $150. 24 Inch is the preferred size but willing to stretch down to 18 or up to 27. I've got a $300 budget but getting two if that changes your answers. Yes, my system can handle it. I assure you. Thanks in...

Thanks all, looks like I'll go with the g930.
