    Slightly brown resistors in a motherboard, mobo runs, should i replace it?

    While any time you have a issue with your PSU it is a good idea to check your mother board and other components I would not say that you need to replace your mother board at this time. I would give it time after the PSU replacement to see if you continue have the same issue.

    Hello, as long as your running dual channel for both of them I don't see a problem. Just make sure you understand your motherboards channels and how to set them up. On my system it's 2, 1, 4, 3 or in a easier way to understand for the subject, 4gb, 8gb, 4gb, 8gb
