Well, looks like it is that case controller card that's been causing the problems. Seems dumb now, but I never considered that my motherboard might have come with d-rgb cables, but of course it does. So I unplugged the d-rgb that went from the case to mobo and plugged the fan frames directly...

I tried a few things directed at power supply to the controller card/integrated case lights. I've kept the fan frame lights disconnected to simplify. So with fan frames disconnected, only case lights: -Checked the SATA cable connection that goes from the case's integrated card to the PS, the...

My PSU is a Seasonic prime ultra gold 850W, purchased late 2019. Haven’t had any other issues with the PC to make me think it isn’t working well. The fan frames are 3x Phanteks PH-FF120DRGBP_BK01 120mm Halos Digital RGB Fan Frames and 3x Phanteks PH-FF140DRGBP_BK01 140mm Halos Digital RGB Fan...

I’ve been having trouble with the rgb lights on my case fans as well as the built in lights on my case. Hoping someone can help. Background: Built the PC in 2019, I don’t think the whole setup is needed here, but the relevant stuff is it has a gigabyte Z390 Aorus master motherboard, Phanteks...

I couldn't resist more tinkering with how much I've done, so I put X in A2 and then tried W, Y and Z in B2 successively, all worked. So I thought maybe all 4 could work together if I separated W and X to opposite channels, Tried A1(Z) A2(X) B1(Y) B2(W) - it failed. I took Y out, reasoning...

Thanks for all the interpretation and guidance. My fingertips are sore from flipping all those tabs on the motherboard over and over again. If it seems really likely the problem is RAM, I'll start an RMA. Sort of lucky in a way, definitely the easiest thing to replace. I'm relieved it...

I've done a bunch of testing different combinations. Each time I thought I was starting to see a pattern something didn't behave like I predicted. Can anyone else make sense of this? I organized all the attempts I've made here: XMP disables for all of this, and WXYZ are the 'names' for each...

I understand most of that, not all, but most. I want to tell you what I've done and see if it was enough to narrow the problem. I'm going to name the DIMMs from left to right W, X, Y, Z, which have been in slots A1, A2, B1 and B2, respectively. Since these problems began a few days ago I have...

Well I tried a few more things, and it isn't any more clear to me. I'm hoping someone much more knowledgeable than me can give me guidance. Since my last post, I tried (all with XMP disabled): 1 - Changed from using 2 cables from PSU to connect to the 3x 8 pin GPU connection to 3 cables to...

Thanks for the ideas. I guess I will switch back to the 2070 tomorrow and see if that fixes the problem. I almost hope it doesn't fix it, with how hard it was to get the 3080ti......If the 3080ti is causing the problem with spikes, why would it have run fine for 4 days before suddenly hitting...

With 2 DIMMs installed I went to BIOS, loaded the optimized defaults, left XMP disabled and the settings all on default. So the frequency was at 2133. Works fine with 2, gives me the error codes and can't boot with all 4. The only other frequency option is the XMP frequency of 3600, I don't...

Well I did try the first thing, loading with 1 set (2 sticks) of DIMM. Doing this tried all 4 sticks, in all 4 slots in various configurations of A1/B1 or A2/B2. Every DIMM combo is stable as a 2 stick setup, but 4 do not work. I just can't guess what has "gone wrong." It worked last night...

Hello, I could use (err, need) some help with a boot issue that I think is RAM related, but I'm not sure. Any help would be much appreciated: System: Other than the XMP profile, nothing is/was overclocked Motherboard – Gigabyte Z390 Aorus master CPU – Intel i9-9900KF Cooler – Corsair h150i...

Thanks for the advice. I'll have to put this off until Jan since I'm headed out of town, but hopefully I'll get a good overclock then!

Thanks for the advice and link to the guide. I'd looked for a guide on these forums a little bit, but the links in the sticky threads were broken for me. I read through the guide and will plan to re-try this following those steps - so being more methodical. One question though - in the guide...
