no, I honestly forgot that program existed. I don't have the oc profile enabled right now so I'll test that when I'm home from work

So, this feels like an odd one to me. A couple months back after my last cpu died and killed the mobo with it, I got a good deal on a 7700x, 32gb of DDR5, and a new mobo. The memory is rated for 6000mhz. To get it at that speed, I set it to the EXPO memory profile in the BIOS (only one available) and it worked perfectly, except it disabled sleep mode in windows and I could only shutdown. After a bit of research I found I could update the BIOS to the latest version then and it would fix it, and it did, but now whenever I shut down the system there's a roughly 50-75% chance that it throws some error just before it's off, and it refuses to post when I try to start it again. It would also give a single beep on shutdown, which I never knew was a thing. I'd have to clear the CMOS and redo all of my settings in the BIOS to get back to full speed again. I've tried contacting Gigabyte support, but they weren't very helpful. Pretty much said "well it shouldn't beep on shutdown, try without the OC." I want to keep as much of an oc as possible (gotta have every last drop of performance), but at this point it's either I learn to set an oc myself or run it at the default 4800mhz. I've updated to the newest version of the BIOS, and it still does this, so I'm at a loss for what I should do. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Should I just suck it up and deal, or should I try to learn how to set it at a slightly lower clock speed than what it's rated for? Could there be some wacky fix for the whole issue? Here's the spec list: CPU: Ryzen 7 7700X Motherboard: Gigabyte Aorus B650 Elite AX (originally on bios version F2, issue started on F3, currently on F5a) Memory: G.Skill FlareX5 DDR5 32GB(2x16GB) GPU: EVGA RTX3070ti XC3 PSU: EVGA Supernova 650 G5 (650W) Storage: 1TB nvme m.2 SSD, 128GB SATA SSD, 1TB Toshiba HDD The only BIOS settings I've changed are: Extreme Memory Profile: EXPO 1 (everything related set to auto) Memory Context Restore: Enabled (cuts down boot times in half. Issue occurs regardless of what this is set to) I do wanna say that getting a new memory kit isn't an option. I got this kit for free (was a killer deal) and I can't afford anything new.

I'm making sure to check for that. Hoping I can get one in soon

I honestly didn't think of that. My mind was stuck on connecting all three wires of each strip together, but that's definitely a more sensible option. For the second option were you talking about a lead acid type or something? Cause honestly that would be too heavy for the setup. Not trying to have a literal brick in my bag lol

So I'm putting some LED light strips in my fursuit head. I've got most of the build planned out, but power is a big problem still. For the LEDs to be bright enough to show through the fur, they use a fair bit of power. At max brightness they draw 60mA each, and there's 150 of them, so about 9 amps all together. They're 5V ARGB strips (WS2812B to be specific). The plan was to use a battery bank that I just keep in my backpack, but no USB battery bank can output 9A on one port. So, if I were to get one with multiple outputs, would I be able to safely wire together the outputs to get a single rail sending at least 9A? I've seen it possible with multiple separate battery packs, but I'm having a hard time finding info on doing it with a single pack with multiple ports. Once I get everything built and finished I'm probs gonna update this with pics

I can up the budget by a hundred if necessary. Just trying to keep it a bit lower to get it sooner

So long story short, I'm in need of a new processor and motherboard. My current pair of a Ryzen 5 3600 and an MSI MPG x570 gaming plus have served me well over the years, but they have both died honorably helping the creation of another machine (rip). So, now that I need a new pair, I'm wanting some help deciding. Every other part of the machine still works great, I just need a new pairing to match. Budget (including currency): 350 USD, 400 max Country: US Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Some AAA games and also some very single core games (kerbal space program and ksp2 when it releases, and TF2) Other details: other parts in the system are EVGA RTX 3070ti EVGA 650 G3 PSU (650W) A mix of 3 drives, one being m.2 (I do plan on adding another) 3 case fans plus an AIO cooler Case is the fractal design meshify C A couple small PCIe cards, one being a network card Main preferences are for a full size ATX board to handle all of the fans and the extra PCIe cards I have. Past that I have no preference between AMD or Intel Edited to adjust budget

Update: I was tired and decided to take it to a tech at a store I trust. Took a whole day but they said the CPU is dead and the motherboard is dead as well. Both likely due to a short. I guess I just gotta be more careful and discharge static better. I really appreciate the time and all the solutions given. Guess it's time for an upgrade. I guess now the real question is AMD or Intel? Edit: marking this as the answer even though there wasn't any real solution other than replacing everything

Checked just now. All pins in good condition and it's orientated correctly. Still the same CPU light on the mobo and the same beeps. I'm gonna try possibly flashing the bios and seeing if that might somehow fix it. If you've got any other possible solutions go ahead and shoot just in case it doesn't work

Well that's gonna have to be a task for tomorrow me. I'll reply back with what I see

How would I be able to tell if it's not? It went in smoothly and there was no issue pushing down the retention bar. Block for the cooler put pressure on it as well

Triple checked that it was orientated correctly. No pins in the socket. I didn't look closely but a quick glance at the CPU pins didn't look bad, and it went in smoothly. I set it on my desk pad pin side up when I originally took it out after I cleaned it. I can check again if it's really necessary, though I'd rather not if I don't have to

And here I just realized I put it in the wrong section. I'm quite smart. Should I repost in troubleshooting where I was intending to put this?

I had to move the CPU in my main rig into a new system I'm building in order update the bios. The new CPU on the other system was never put in mine. Now that I've put the processor back into my system it won't boot. The CPU error light is lit on the motherboard and I get what I think is three long beeps. I'm fairly sure they're long because the normal post beep is shorter than it. The fans also seem to default to 50%. No actual hardware change has occurred, it's effectively just reseating it. I've tried reseating the memory (three short beeps on an AMI bios is a memory error) but that didn't change anything, and the CPU light is still on. Could it be I need to flash the bios on this system? Or am I just SOL and need a new processor? Specs: CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 CPU cooler: Corsair hydro series H60 Motherboard: MSI MPG X570 Gaming Plus Memory: 16gb (2x8) G.Skill ripjaw V Gfx card: EVGA RTX3070ti (rip in peace the GPU division) Storage: 1 intel 1TB m.2 ssd (boot), 1 Seagate 1TB hdd, 1 128GB SATA SSD (forget the manufacturer) PSU: EVGA 650 G3 (650W) The motherboard it was put into is an ASUS B550m-a (non wifi) Again I'm wondering if I need to flash the bios on my system. Would the CPU somehow be changed in an update on a different board? It worked just fine on the other system, so I'm hoping (praying) it isn't bricked. Appreciate any help and the time

for me it's helped a bit but it's still peaking hard sometimes. according to one it's not dropping it to whisper quiet anymore, just peaking now. what is it that you use? i'm using Corsair HS60 straight into the front headers (not using the included usb that doesn't do anything)
