Hello everyone, I am having issue with my RAM capacity. I have 32gb of DDR4 3200mhz RAM installed, which seems to work fine. I recently noticed though that I am hitting 99% of RAM usage during heavy gaming... something I did not expect to see. Looking at it more closely, I saw that I have about 18%-25% RAM usage during normal desktop idling/browsing. The task manager did not really give me much of an an answer to the issue, so I used RAMMap to get a closer look. I am not much smarter with the results though... Can someone give me a hint as to where the problem might be? I don't think this is normal.

Now make a limited RBG edition haha

Hello everyone, I have a weird problem I can't seem to fix. The USB connection to my RBG AIO Cooler (Corsair H100i Capellix) goes completely haywire at some points, wildly connecting and disconnecting. This happens noticeably more often during gaming (specifically BF2042) than everywhere else. I have used the system for a couple of months now without any problems -> now this popped up out of the blue. This may go on for around 5 minutes, until the cooler completely disconnects or displays a red color throughout the system (the meaning is obvious I guess). I have tried the following without success: - Updating the firmware and reinstalling iCue - Reinstalling the USB controller - Trying out multiple USB headers on the motherboard. - Reconnecting all cables on the RBG/Fan controller that came with the cooler. All this makes me think it might be software or temperature related. BF2042 strains the GPU and CPU hard and the temps are of course quite high and this has only occurred now during the season with the highest ambient temperatures. Although I have no clue how the temperature would impact the USB connection of the AIO cooler or how to fix it. This is what my USB device manager looks like: Many thanks!

I turned it off for a bit and the bug disappeared for now -> tomorrow the room gets desinfected

Yea that was my thought too - but my office is pretty clean I would say in a freshly built house. Maybe a plant might be attracting these? I got a couple in here.

Hello everyone, I am boderline going crazy here. Around two years ago one bug found its way into my old monitor and died in the corner of my display -> I already had it for some years and I just thought to myself that its a freak thing that sometimes happens. A couple weeks ago a second one got in there, but shortly after that monitor died anyways (could well be related to the infestation), so it didn't bother me once again. Now I just bought myself a shiny new ASUS ROG STRIX XG27AQ last week and guess who shows up again... this time I was patient and waited until that sucker is just about to leave the screen to crush it in a non-visible area. After waiting for an hour for this to happen, I found out that it must be behind the very inner layers, as my finger had absolutely no effect on it. Now I am certain that SOB will die dead center in my new monitor with absolutely nothing I can do about it. I have read of methods with suction cups and vibrating toothbrushes, but those only work if they are between the outermost layers. I have absolutely no idea how to avoid this problem... any pointers?

Just don't buy anything from Corsair... I have been waiting for over three weeks now for my 4 riser screws...

You sold me.

I applaud your pragmatism, but a "cheap solution with decent temps" won't cut it for me. I want a stable overclock for many years like last time. Thanks though

Hello everyone, I recently ordered a 12700k with an ASUS Z690 Prime P D4. I heard that the mounting skew is different from the 1200 socket, so I ordered the Corsair conversion kit, which just consists of new riser skrews. I currently have a Corsair Hydro Series H110 GTX in my system (6700k), which I thought would be compatible. According to the official Corsair list, it seems not to be though (see below). I might be thinking there is a chance it is just not mentioned, because it is over 5 years old. In short: Do you think I should just get over it and order one of the coolers below? Or wait the two weeks until the risers come, potentially be dissapointed at that point when they don't work with my current cooler and lose another couple days? I would really like to get started with Battlefield 2042 together with the new CPU...

You are right, but I am talking about boards in the $200-300 range having these features, not $600+....

Hello everyone, the last time I bought a mother board, it was for my i7 6700k a couple years ago. Specifically it was a mid-range board -> ASUS Z170 Maximus VIII Ranger. It came with a post-code display, CMOS-Reset and Start button on the board -> all features I have come to appreciate at one time or another. Now that I want to upgrade to an 12700k, I have noticed that none of the features are available anymore, not even on the higher-end boards (at least for the 1700 socket- didn't check the others). Did I miss something? Why are these helpful features not even a thing anymore?

Nah, you will most likely get around 60-90fps in AAA games.

Both will be Displayport (at least for the main gaming monitor -> the other one could be HDMI as well I guess).

Noone? I am a little dissapointed guys
