Greetings from the hinterland. I have need/interest in having as many NvMe M.2 SSD's as I can get into my system. The Board comes with 4 M.2 connections. 1 1Tb is used for my win 11 drive, 2 1Tb for gaming, and 1 3Tb NvMe for UHD movie archive for Plex. UDH 2160p ATMOS movies are extremely...

OK, I switched out the 3 fans in front of the case to draw in room air. Hard to tell if it made substantial difference or not. Temps still seem to be 90-100 on first 7 cores, and 80-90 on remainder. The first heading on HWMonitor under CPU Temperatures is " package". I don't know what that...

Dunno. Just wanted to blow out all hot air I could thinking drawing in fresh air would be good.

New build with an i9-12900k cpu on a MSI Pro Z690-A Using a Noctua D15 with dual fans. Have a total of 6 case fans, all exhausting. Question is that under stress, cpu hits 100C on first 7 cores (HWMonitor) and 80-90C on the remaining. I know that this cpu does run hot although I don't know how...

I think problem turned out to be defective motherboard. My son had also bought new components to build a pc so we put my cpu and cooler on his MB. Booted fine. Kept same configuration but switched out MBs back to mine and same problem. Gonna RMA back to Amazon. Thanks for your help

No, no bios screen ....nothing. Noted that red led indicating cpu problem light is on. Tested it out with another identical cpu since my son also bought same parts for his build. No change in led light or boot issues. Wonder about the Noctua cooler. Is rated for lga 1700 but if cooling is an...

Hi Putting together a new system. Got all assembled in case and tested powering on. MB, fans, GPU all light up and turn on. However, after about 15-18 sec, it will instantly power off, then power back on in about 5 sec. It keeps doing this repeatedly. Nothing shows up on the screen to indicate...

So, I've put my system all back together (I had removed all nonessential devices) except for only running with 1 X 16 Gb mem stick and all runs well. Passes Intel CPU testing tool with no problems. Played over an hour of Alyx VR without any issues. Put the other stick in, and voila, BSOD...

Have run FurMark several times without any glitches. Monitoring temps of cpu, MB and gpu with ICue doesn't show much except with testing when they would obviously and with good reason zoom up. GPU never above 85 C. CPU would, with 100% load get to 100C for some periods. I"m using a Corsair H100i...

not sure why, today, a graphics drv is being bad. Was never in reports before.

Occasionally different but 90% of the time what was reported by WhoCrashed was in "ntoskrnl.exe" and "pshed.dll". Today, after installation of a new CPU, it's being reported as : On Wed 12/22/2021 3:17:18 PM your computer crashed or a problem was reported crash dump file...

Nope

BSOD issue for past couple of months. Mostly random but often with VR gaming like Alyx. Anyway, in my testing of the components I've come across a confusing set of responses that I'm unable to understand. Probably due to my level of knowledge which is low end. Anyway, I've 2X16 MB of ram...

Went to MB forum to delete my second post, but couldn't find it. Deleted already?
