Looks like the motherboard does not support the ram. It however supports a 2400 Mhz ram to be overlocked to 2666 Mhz. If you look at other motherboards like ASROCK B550M, in the specs it is written that upto 3200 without OC is supported, and anything above is to be overclocked (selecting OC profiles in BIOS) from lower speed rams. If you look at the supported memory for this motherboard for crucial rams, this is the list

I think I just broke my PC, but I don't understand how
Bipinvsnl replied to Brayan2063's topic in Troubleshooting
Please try switching the HDMI cable, just to check, just in case. -
Try changing the boot settings in bios to legacy instead of UEFI and then booting into the HDD

Agreed! The newer one that i use 8200PRO is good, my S5 failed the very first day, and unfortunately i came across people facing the same issue with one particular realtek controller. I am disappointed because i am sure Adata is aware of this issue due to the RMA they get with the same issue description, but they continue to sell them still! And where i live, Amazon has disabled the returns policy, where as other SSDs have atleast 10 days replacement. Should have taken this as a clue
-
The older models where they use the Realtek controllers on the drives are very poor in terms of longevity. Although the newer drives are ok with different controllers, i personally would avoid Adata / XPG and prefer to go with other brands. People tend to look at their 6000 models which are fairly cheaper, but these are the ones with the realtek controllers!

Do not buy the XPG or Adata drives, they fail often, and the 6000 series has issues that ll give you a nightmare. Always prefer Samsung, WD, Crucial or Sabrent.

Companies to consider: Samsung, WD, Sabrent, Crucial Companies to avoid: Adata / XPG

Is the SSD by any chance ADATA or XPG ?

Upgraded system to m.2 nvme 1.3 wont boot
Bipinvsnl replied to MinatoNamikaze's topic in Storage Devices
Hmm the Adata SSDs / XPG SSDs have a reputation to fail, not reliable at all. I have a Gammix SSD which failed on the very first day, and later read a lot about them and got to know they are not as good. The usual problem will start from them disappearing in the BIOS, and later if you manage to get it up and running, keep a watch for random freezes and BDOS with error "WHEA Uncorrectable Error", this is when you have to send it back for repair. Not trying to scare you, but it is what it is, and just keep a lookout for the above 2 issues which is an indication that the controller on the drive is faulty. I am very disappointed with Adata SSDs.- 19 replies

RAM Question. Faster RAM = Better CPU overclocking ?
Bipinvsnl replied to Bipinvsnl's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
Thanks! This was informative. -
Hello What would you prefer - A wired keyboard and mouse or A wireless keyboard and mouse ? Keeping in mind the majority of the time spent on the PC is for work rather than gaming. Thanks!

Hello people of the Linus republic. I tried searching the web to get a proper answer for my question and didnt find any. So thought i ll put it up here. Now, i know that a 1333mhz, 1600mhz, 1866Mhz or a 2133Mhz wont have any noticeable performance difference. But what i want to know is, the faster the RAM the better the CPU overclocking capability ?? I am not talking about RAM overclocking. I am talking about CPU Overclocking. I have an Asus Maximus V formula with a 3570K. But only Corsair value RAM of 1333Mhz @ 16GB 4x4. I was 4.4 Ghz stable until i found out that 1 of the RAM sticks is failing soon after i started running the CPU at this speed. Now, if the new RAM sticks are Faster and a set of 2, say 2x4 G.skill @ 2133mhz. Will this help a stable CPU overclock ? Than a value RAM @ 1333mhz? Couldn't find a proper answer to my question as most of the topics seem to divert to RAM overclocking and no performance gains etc.. I just wanted to know, the better the RAM = better CPU overclocking. Thanks!
