Hi, as stated in the title I'm suspecting that enabling XMP was the main cause as this was the only changes I made before it started to happen. CPU would then be running at 4.2Ghz to push my RAM to 3000Hz while enabled which is my original plan. I'm disabling XMP for now and running at default...

Hi, my new asus cerberius just starts up bios everytime i start up my pc. I need to plug it in right after when its to late to boot bios and if i do it later the keyboard wont work at all.
The Gigabyte XTREME Gaming GTX 1060 is a 2 and a half-slot card, and the Corsair Carbide 400c is classified as a compact ATX case. I already on the 400c, it's sitting in my room waiting to be built in, but I need this info in order to buy the right GPU. Thank you.
Hello, I recently did a benchmark for my CPU with CPU-Z and I compared my results to the same CPU I have.

I would like to upgrade my CPU but I'm not sure if it would make sense for my current setup, as well as whether or not it would even be compatible. I was thinking about getting the AMD FX-8350 and I need to know what you guys think.
