    Question XMP profiles not working. Should I replace my board?

    Just want to drop an update. Everything has been going well up until this morning. I had no crashes, but then this ONE game I play sometimes called Black Desert Online had a random shutdown and then it froze my PC about 30 minutes later. My suspicion is that the anti-cheat software this game...

    Question XMP profiles not working. Should I replace my board?

    I had to double-check the voltage while running a stress test, but yes the timings are the same along with the voltage. The JEDEC settings run it at 1.20V but both XMP profiles run it at 1.35V which looks to be correct for this model. It's configured for 16-18-18-36 in terms of timings.

    Question XMP profiles not working. Should I replace my board?

    The first profile looks to be the same as the second profile, aside from the fact that it sets the clock to 2933 MHz instead of 3200MHz. Is there something different about choosing the 3200 profile and lowering the speed manually? I compared the listed timings and they appeared to be the same...

    Question XMP profiles not working. Should I replace my board?

    I checked after posting and found that I was one version behind the latest. I updated it to the latest, so hopefully this will make a difference. Hopefully the Beta status of the latest update doesn't cause more problems. My first XMP profile is at a speed of 2933. Although BSODs are less...

    Intermittent Hard Drive 'Disappearance'

    I've grabbed another drive from work to test out since I've discovered the 250G I have sitting around is not running as quick as it should. I haven't had any issues so far, but I grabbed it just last night. Looks like SMART checks aren't always reliable gauges of whether a hard drive is...

    Intermittent Hard Drive 'Disappearance'

    No, it does not. I'm thinking it may be an issue with my main hard drive, but I've never heard of a defective hard drive that worked perfectly before causing other drives to not show up. I will be installing windows on my secondary drive and using it as my primary this weekend. The WD actually...

    Looking to upgrade for under 700

    I'm not particularly interested in going dual GPU. I'd prefer to just have to worry about one working :D Is there a big difference between the H61 and P67 chipsets as far as overclockability or anything else goes?
