Hi guys,
I finally got all the stuff together and built my pc yesterday (1st one I built!).
It was great fun and it all worked well. The pc is working great but I have a few questions that I'd like to ask you if you don't mind.
My pc doesn't beep when I start it. No sound at all. I'm used to my old PC, that once I started it up it would give me a beep, that I assumed all pc's did. Well mine doesn't, it's completly silent when I start it. Did I forget something?
I'm using the MSI z170a mpower gaming titanium mobo (if that helps).
Also, I am using a coupld of gskill memory sticks for a total of 16gb. These memory are 3000mhz. By default the system lowered the frequency, but I enabled the XMP on the bios at it defaulted to the correct 3000. But, I'm still not convinced, is there some sort of software that I can use to check my frequency? I have CPU-Z but I believe it only tells me the current frequency not the max (it's telling me a every slightly changing 1069.3 mhz dram frequency at the moment, for example).
EDIT: I just found out that I can check ram speed by using the cmd 'wmic memorychip get speed'.
Apparently I'm still at 2133 speed, any advice on how to change the frequency to the memory's 3000 would be appreciated!
Thanks
