Thanks for the help. Changing it to 40Mhz and channel 48 worked. The other channels didn't work.

I can't connect to my 5ghz network. It worked before but stopped working recently. The 2.4 Ghz works fine. The 5ghz works fine on other computers and phones. I can't find a solution to my problem. What happens: Trying to connect -> Pops up that it is secured -> Windows 10 sidebar (network) does...

The PSU is dead. Rip Corsair CX750w you will be missed.

You should contact the seller and check with them. Normally you should get some support (get a new motherboard/CPU) to check if that's the component that is faulty.

The stock cooler that comes with intel CPU's isn't the greatest option, but then again, you applied the thermal paste evenly so that isn't a problem. I've checked reddit and other forums and they say that 9400F should be 30-35C* idle with the stock cooler. Can you try HWmonitor instead of other...

Sorry, but I have to ask this question. Did you remove the plastic from the cooler? Could you link an imgur image of the application (cooling paste)?

I've cleaned everything including the dust filters. The PSU is taking air from the underside of case. Never been a problem before (had the system for 6 years).

You could try to use pressurized air and lightly blow the RAM slots (without the RAM seated) and/or reseat the RAM in different slots. Trying the easiest solutions are always the best solutions. :)

I've had the same problem a long time ago. You could try to resocket the RAM in different slots and tinker with timings. Does the RAM show up in the BIOS? :)

Not at all. The only part that feels remotely 'hot' is the fan, probably because of the load. Then again, the fan is warm to the touch, not close to unbearable.

Thanks in advance for the help. I've made some posts on reddit/tomshardware earlier. I found out the faulty component is my PSU. Whenever I start my computer, after 1-2 minutes it ramps up to 100%. I've played with it before (because of a good headset and didn't notice at that time). Is there a...

I found out the problem, the only problem is how to fix it. I'll give you a short summary. Because of the faulty sensor, the CPU fan goes at a max rate all the time and is currently the one thing that smells burnt. Problem is that I can't seem to regulate the speed (either with normal fan...

I've checked on Reddit r/techsupport, but the only answer I got was to check the whole computer. I've checked my computer for any burnt marks, imploding and so on. Didn't find anything out of the ordinary at all. Currently finished with cleaning the computer and carefully cleaning the PSU inside...

It will do the same trick for laptop and desktop.

Well I did a build for my friend. And there was no need for a fan. But again it helps the airflow. So it is your choice if you want better temps. My suggestion is that you add it in later, when you have the money for it.
