Hi friends, I just replaced my custom watercooling loop with a 360 AIO from EKWB. I had had my loop for a few years and wanted to upgrade to something a little cleaner and less complicated. After getting everything set up I started monitoring my cpu temp and fan speeds just to see how they...

UPDATE: Called Asus a few times today. Each representative gave me wildly different advice and steps to try. All of them ended with "okay well just RMA your motherboard". One asked me to take apart and rebuild my computer (which was an ordeal and even resulted in a few bent CPU pins but I...

I have a bit of an issue that I'm not sure how to solve. I really need my computer working before work tomorrow so super appreciative of any help. I got a BIOS update notification from Asus EZ update yesterday, I clicked update, and it got stuck. I waited a few hours and it never moved so I...
