ill try the tips you suggested and ill see if i can break the 3000mhz barrier

on the intel system i used auto timings as it responded well to just cranking the voltage and clock. but the amd system i have tried alot of timings and i have settled with 2666 with these timings which are tighter than the intel system for sure.

I recently upgraded from a i5 6600k to a 5600x and i had my 2400mhz corsair lpx running at 3000mhz with no issues in memtest and no crashes for years, and then once i upgraded to my 5600x i cant get my ram past 2666 even at 1.4 volts and i was wondering if anyone knew why the 5600x is so poor for ram overclocking? I also noticed the latency on the intel system is a bit lower compared to the AMD one. Intel System AMD System

yes it was been secured in that on spot for years but i think it was a sleep mode issue so ive backed up everything important and running it until it does it again

smart info reads fine which is kinda strange, when i was taking the hard drive out it felt like the motor was freaking out. Maybe it was because the computer was in sleep mode and the hard drive was receiving low voltage which was enough to attempt to spin the hard drive?

I woke up early in the morning to a terrifying noise that upon further inspection was my hard drive which i unplugged and just left it sitting on the floor and proceeded to go back to sleep.

everything is bottlenecked in terms of computing or we would have unlimited fps in every game, but some of the main bottlenecks in games are definitely cpu and gpu. it really depends on the game some games like csgo and cities skylines love cpu but dont care about gpu. but some games like battlefield and gta 5 love the gpu. ram isnt really ever a bottleneck as long as you have enough to store the game onto when its running. hope this answered your question

strange how putting pc to sleep can cause this, try taking the drive out and reseating it or better try a different port. it doesnt sound like a hardware issue but its best to rule out the simple stuff first. is that a window installation usb? if so check if the drive has detected partitions in the section of the windows install?

does it detect windows at all?

turn off the computer, unplug it from the wall and hold the power button for 15 seconds and try booting from it again

Try flashing the bios to some other version of your card, it fixed mine i flashed it today and the issue is gone. Use nvflash for this, its worth a try while you still have the card. just don't use the wrong rom file haha.

its the individual fan thats the issue not the controller or the other fan would be having issues too. just buy a replacement fan for your specific card.

I'm sure it's not windows as the fan does this issue when the bios screen pops up for me, its definitely a hardware issue and a replacement fan is recommended if you want this to work. they go for like 25 dollars on ebay or 15 euros. And its designed to kick in when it hits 50 degrees my GPU does that its the ECO mode. But the fan is faulty so it doesn't know whether to be off or 100 percent.

Just try dissemble the card and you should see fan connectors and unplug the one thats spinning to 100 percent. here are pictires of my card dissembled if that helps. its should be straight forward as all you need to do it remove the top shroud.

I have the same issue with my 1070 it seems to be the fans problem and not software of BIOS, as i unplugged the fan that span to 100 percent and re routed the cable so only the 2 fans spin on my 1070 strix and the problem never comes up. i'm sure its the fans issue though i'm not sure. if you're brave enough try unplug the fan that's doing this. or if its still under warranty return it to EVGA. Hope this helps
