Case cooling:
Fan Options
Front: 3 x 120mm or 2 x 140mm fan (3 x 120mm fan included)

Top: 3 x 120mm or 2 x 140mm fan

Rear: 1 x 120mm or 1 x 140mm fan (1 x 140mm fan included)

You can add more fans to top. You can also replace the fans and use ones that move more air.

You can manually set memory parameters in BIOS:

16GB Kit (2 x 8GB) 3600MHz
Tested Latency: 18-19-19-39
Tested voltage: 1.35v

You can manually set:
AI Overclock Tuner set to [Manual]
Page 3-14 of manual

Page 3-15 of manual
Set DRAM Frequency to [DDR4-3200MHz]

Scroll down to DRAM Voltage and Enter in 1.35v

Go to Dram Timing Control and at the very top enter in the primary timings for your kit 18-19-19-39 for 3600MHz. At a lower speed of 3200MHz you can run tighter timings (lower number) - perhaps 17-18-18-37

Where CAS Latency is the first number to set followed by the next three options to change. The four number are the only ones to change starting with CAS Latency. Save & Exit BIOS.
