    Question System only gives display signal with 1 ram stick, but I'd like to use more ?

    Loosened my heatsink a little bit, no change. I could loosen it a little bit more I suppose. Bios version: American Megatrends Inc. 3042, 9/30/24 SMbios: 3.6 I tried to update it with a usb tool with the flash bios button on the back of the motherboard, but that didnt seem to work. Maybe I did...

    I'll loosen the cooler this afternoon, thanks for the suggestion. Yes, the ram are seated in proper order (+ same issue happens when all 4 are populated) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BXHC74WD?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title <- heres the link as for heatsink, the traditional coolermaster...

    Question System only gives display signal with 1 ram stick, but I'd like to use more ?

    I was having constant crash issues during cyberpunk and elden ring sessions so I decided to replace the mobo, cpu, and ram. But during setup I could only get it to boot up into bios about 1 in every 5 attempts... and not at all if using all of the ram. Are there compatibility issues with my...

    Question Is it worth upgrading from the stock thermal pads included with the sabrent rocket 4?

    About to upgrade to a sabrent rocket 4 m.2, and it comes with a pretty chunky heatsink and thermal pads. I've also got a single thermal grizzly minus pad 8 - will I see any kind of significant cooling upgrade to go with the thermal grizzly? or are the included strips somehow better? I'm not...

    Question Does an AMD Wraith Stealth stock cooler compete reasonably with a Noctua L9i?

    Oh, gosh, sorry, its an L9a. I pulled up the wrong amazon page when I was looking at my purchases and if I thought about it for even a second I would have caught it. Same question! And thank you for the answer!

    Question Does an AMD Wraith Stealth stock cooler compete reasonably with a Noctua L9i?

    I have both a spare L9i and a spare stock AMD Wraith Stealth, and one of them is going into an entry level gaming PC for a non-tech-literate friend. I've heard that stock coolers aren't really garbage these days (I havent been building PCs regularly for many years), and both of these things are...

    [SOLVED] Can I connect a modem to this Hotel Xfinity Co-axial?

    The wifi here is dreadful. I'll be here for a while. Could I purchase a co-axial modem (or router, I think I need a modem though right?) and screw the co-axial cord from my cable TV into the modem to get a hard connection or am I stuck with this crappy wifi? Do you think they'd let me get DSL...

    Question Can't connect to motel wifi.

    I get no splash page to put login details in for motel 6. I've already checked several answers on google and the most common one is to force the splash page to open by copy/pasting an ipv4 address into my browser or something, but that section is literally just gibberish- it looks totally busted...
