Asus Rog Strix Z690-A motherboard should come with Software for RGB control. It's called AURA Sync download from here: https://www.asus.com/campaign/aura/eg-en/download.php Arctic Freezer ii 360 does not have RGB controller software.

It appears the flash method via the rear I/O panel is unavailable. Here is your method" https://www.manualslib.com/manual/710383/Msi-P67a-Gd80-Series.html?page=37

H iOldManBryson (y) and Welcome to the Forum :D What is format on the thumb drive? Should be Fat32. If you can't use Bios Flash from rear IO then try to update via the Bios.

The most common culprit for the Windows 10/Windows 11 (Unexpected Store Exception) blue screen error is faulty hardware. If not, the other steps mentioned bellow are worth perusing. A blue screen of death can be caused by many things but are especially common if you've changed something on your...

The efficiency of thermal paste is measured as W/km (watts per square meter of the surface area), A good thermal paste will measure around 8W/km. AS5, MX4 and Thermal Grizzly kryanaut have excellent conductivity whereas HY510 has a thermal conductive index of 1.93 W/km and considered crap.

Temps can be also lowered by decreasing Core voltage and I would expect 80C from AIDA64 to be normal under load. AIDA64 will push your system harder than most apps and gaming. Many Ryzen processors tend to overvault as a default setting in Bios. You will find the AIO water cooler will maintain...

Ryzen 7 5800x has a boost frequency up to 4.8Ghz. Boost is a method of Overclocking automatically when conditions are met or on demand. Boost occurs in just a couple of cores and can be disabled depending on the type of Overclock. Boost is great for those who want the advantage of a performance...

RAM allows your CPU to access files faster, and helps your processor run more processes at the same time. The more RAM you have, and the faster the RAM cycles in MHz, the more processes your CPU can run. If RAM is Overclocked then reason tells me the CPU will also boost the process depending on...

Hi ttorri (y)and Welcome to the Forum. Your 5800X has a base clock frequency of 3.8GHz and a boost clock of 4.7GHz Boost is an overclock frequency that is automatic and when conditions are correct a number of cores will boost depending on your core temperature and demand from an application...

This is an ongoing issue across differing platforms and I'm following a thread at with exactly the same issue: View: https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/k0ixp7/motherboard_showing_q_code_97_vga_led_on_monitor/ I'm also looking at the ROG website as there are others there with same...

Any errors detected using Memtest86 are NOT fixable and will cause issues. Mixing RAM is never a good idea and should consist of a single kit that have been binned together that are then tested and listed on the MB QVL

Hi kertain(y)and Welcome to the Forum :) One thing that can cause random reboots or shutdowns is RAM. It's a good way to start so run Memtest86 to eliminate that from the equation. Run 4 passes on all DIMMs and if any errors you know what the issue is. List the P/N or SKU of your RAM.? Is...

Thanks for getting back to me KarmaChang and glad you have your system sorted :D You have a top end system there mate, now test for ultimate stability using ROG Realbench. This is a real world stress tester and if you can pass this test you can be assured your system is stable and will cope...

Hi yuvaldo (y) and Welcome to the Forum :) The highest speed your MB supports is 6000Mhz OC so 6400MHz is beyond the limitations of the MB. There are no RAM kits available at 6400MHz that are tested and listed on the QVL. It is possible that future Bios changes will support beyond the...
