    Request a full refund. Buy something else from a reputable manufacturer.

    Depends. The heatsink might get hotter than the caps themselves because of the VRM/other components. You might end up driving their temps higher. Caps don't really generate too much heat, I would think that passive cooling with residual airflow over them and no transfer medium is more than sufficient. You'll need a probe and test before/after for a definitive answer.

    Three GPUs and all mysteriously have problems? Sorry, but to me, this looks like something the customer is doing isn't right. It's beyond unlucky for anything like this to happen.

    Are you over-tightning the screws when putting in the block? I would reseat the CPU to begin with.

    You can apply a small electrical tape on the LED to dim it or completely remove the light. You can also use a small blob of non conductive black adhesive/goo/whatever.
  6. Skander1345
    The white LED near power? No.

    404 not found when it tries to display the emoji image file.

    Swap the MB for something else if you're really annoyed by the issue.
  9. Skander1345
    This honestly makes me think there is an issue with this particular MB's model with the ASMEDIA controller.
  10. Skander1345
    Your setup seems all fine to me. So that's probably the maximum speed you'll achieve. EDIT: I have made some online searches and some mention a 300MB/s~ limit on SATA3 when using ASMEDIA controllers. So yep. EDIT2: Some reference the ASMEDIA ports supporting 400MB/s max, maybe a MB difference?
  11. Skander1345
    There is your problem; ASMEDIA. They do not allow for the regular full performance of Intel controller. Refer to manual.

    Use a freight forwarder if you still have no luck shipping it to you. They usually only charge a small additional shipping fee; if it's discounted on amazon and you get it from there it will then balance out and you'd still be making a profit.

    RIP. Backup (while you can) and trash the drive. Don't mess with faulty storage and save yourself the headache.
  14. Skander1345
    You can just set it to chkdsk /f /r C: For now.
  15. Skander1345
    That will run a disk/file system check and repair any errors if found. I believe when rebooting it will give you a grace period to cancel the check on a drive if you want by clicking any key, so you can run the check on the system drive and skip the game drive. Might as well let it do both though.
  16. Skander1345
    Please run chkdsk /f /r in cmd and restart.

    Room temp directly affects cpu temp with a 1:1 ratio. So you shaved 5c off

    I guess it depends on who gets the award and what requirements are placed. I personally wouldn't trust myself with such power in a large forum like this. I've been a mod in several medium sized forums but nothing this big. I think keeping such tasks to mods is the safest option and would save you from lots of headaches.
  19. Skander1345
    That's cool, but please redo it and align them
  20. Skander1345
    It wouldn't be if driver uninstalls were perfect.
  21. Skander1345
    Clean windows install when changing mobo and cpu is highly recommended. Do that. THEN we can talk about some component being faulty.
  22. Skander1345
    run a full malwarebytes scan and report what it finds here
  23. Skander1345
    Return it, it's probably defective if it always thinks AC power is shoddy. You can't do much and I don't recommend messing with a UPS (or trusting a faulty one)
  24. Skander1345
    Seems normal. That's a maximum FREQUENCY monitor, if your CPU has a "normal" 4.0Ghz speed and turbo boosts to 4.4Ghz for example the "max frequency" will be 100% (4Ghz) + % Overclock. EDIT I read it again, and now understand that I missed your point, the CPU utilization you see there is NOT the total - it only counts PROCESS CPU utilization, there is another tab with services CPU utilization.

    I would RMA the RAM first, since memtest gives you errors you should be eligible for an RMA anyway. IF the replacement RAM still has errors then you can say it might be the motherboard.
