The reviews I've read reporting VRM overheating seemed to almost always be with the 9900k. Are there any reports, or has anyone here seen VRM related throttling with the 9700k on the Asus boards? I'm not against other brands; I've just had bad experiences with my current Gigabyte board, and...

I'm about to finally upgrade my computer, and am trying to decide on the motherboard. I'll be getting a 9700k, and plan to overclock it to 5.0-5.2GHz. The RAM I'll likely get will be rated at 3200 MHz CL14. The only further OC that I'll do there is setting command rate to 1. I know Gigabyte...

RAM has little effect on fps. that being said, looking at the specs, a 3200 MHz set of RAM has about the same default latency, on both DDR3 and 4, from one supplier I just checked. That means they are effectively the same speed. DDR4 uses lower voltages. The power requirements are the main...

it sounds like a key is stuck/broke. if its a cheap keyboard, replace it. if its a decent keyboard, you should be able to remove the key caps and see if there is anything sticky under there (and hopefully be able to clean it).

Have you tried different RAM slots? Both individually and in dual channel? How did you test them - memtest86+?

I've had the same problem with my motherboard (Gigabyte GA-Z97X-SOC Force). I've had to jump it that way twice so far. The extra weird part is, when it happens, it resets my BIOS settings - not to default settings, but old settings that aren't 100% stable. We both have pretty old boards now...
