this same thing happened to me a week ago, for me it was a bad sata cable that short circuited, if it happens again try plugging out all other drives than the OS drive, and if that doesn't work swap cables and/or ports
I've watched your videos since you started the channel and I've learned so much, from not knowing anything about computer hardware to being the nerdiest person I know.
Your videos inspired me to learn about PC hardware aswell as basically all other technology.
Thank you so much for all the content you and your team has produced!! keep up the great work!
well with a fancontroller he wouldn't be able to control em adaptively to the temperature, it would have to be manual control, also his H440 has no 5 1/4 inch bays.
I'd go with the lower build.
for coolers, I personally would spend some money to get watercooling, like Corsair H100i or NZXT Kraken x60/x61 but that is cuz im a silencefreak and I'm very conscious about the esthetics of my build
if you want something at a reasonable pricepoint i might go with something like the "Phanteks PH-TC12DX" or for a bit more the "Phanteks PH-TC14PE"
just some info, 1600 MHz or 2400 MHz wont affect the performance by any valid margin so whatever you go with will be fine just dont mix the sticks channels with eachother.
it should post as long as the mobo or cpu aint broken so im leaning towards cooked CPU or bad CPU installation.
just for safety, check that the 24 pin and the 8 pin powerconnectors are properly connected.
