So I ran the memtest86 one each ram stick individually. One of the 4 immediately started showing cpu errors. I put a pair of the good sticks back in the mobo and fired up. Ran memory diagnostics test and no hardware errors detected. I think a faulty ram was the culprit.

Its not. I looked at the latest version out and it looks as if the BIOS is an older version. When updating bios, can I do that through bios or do I have to do it through a USB drive?

Dell 27" LED QHD G-Sync Monitor S2716DGR - I'm using a Display Port Cable for this monitor. I have 2 other monitors connected to the PC. I have checked the settings to make sure the monitor is set for 144hz as this is the max the monitor supports.

The monitor is 144hz. Seems that should be easily doable on ultra 1440p with a 3080. Maybe I'm clueless.

H100i platinum *

Sorry, its the h110i rgb 120mm platinum

There isn't any room between the cooler and the GPU. So installing the fans on the back aren't an option. The only option I have are to use the fans that came with the cooler OR swap out the fans from the 115i to the 100i. If that works that would be cool.

So with what i've leared from you. Are the fans on my H115i cooler that I put in my main build that much worse than the case fans on the new build? The reason I'm asking is, if the fans on the H115i are just as good as the fans on the H110i I would swap them out. The RGB fans on the 115i are on...

Dark Breeze, you've helped me a ton with the understanding of this after reading up on the difference in static pressure between the radiator fans that came with the cooler and the SP120's in the front of the case. I planned on buying more RGB fans for the case regardless. So i'm hoping this...

Also, the motherboard is the Asus Prime Z270-A

I'm using the i7 7700k and rtx 2070 super. I have it all installed and while its tight everything fits. I did the build on pc part picker to make sure everything was compatible (not sure if thats 100% accurate, but hasn't let me down yet.) Ive read online that the sp120s are sufficient for the...

I purchased a new mobo and cpu. While doing so bought the h115i and replaced the cooler. So i made a new build with old mobo,cpu, and cooler.

No, I bought this cooler and still have the fans that came with it. The case has 3 rgb fans in the front. The fans on the cooler are not rgb. I was looking for a way to keep the cooler and keep the rgb lighting in the front. So i removed the fans that came with the cooler and mounted the...
