Ok cool, I'll go ahead and process a refund. Thanks everyone

Well that interesting, I'll make sure I'll keep an eye out for the future! I want to be 100% sure before I process a refund so I followed the manual very closely

The PC has been running for 30 minutes with the single "good" stick with no issues. I swapped it over to the other stick, fails to boot. Swapped back to the good stick and it boots. ----------------- I think its a DOA DIMM module.

I was uner the impression the PSU nees to be unplugged? Yes I get a message in the BIOS

Yup, I cleared it every time I made a change. Unplugged the PSU and jumped the CMOS pins (didn't take out the battery though). When it does boot with that single stick, it says "CMOS reset" in the BIOS Its a R5 3700X

Ok, I definitely have the V1.

This v1 vs v2 stuff is so annoying. I cannot figure out what version I have, but looking at the pictures it looks like I have the v2? But checking my BIOS version, F51 is only listed on the V1, so now I'm wondering do I have an incompatible BIOS installed? Also, from the V1 user manual: I'm so confused....

So I have a Gigabyte B450 AORUS ELITE, I had 2x8GB 3200mhz memory in it and it ran fine. I purchased a Crucial 62GB kit (2x32GB) CP2K32G4DFRA32A, and it seems quite flaky....? Trying 1 DIMM at a time, 1 DIMM boots no problem in slot 1, and the other DIMM mostly fails but has booted once? I've tried the usual troubleshooting: - Booting 1 DIMM at a time - Tried slots 1 & 2 - Tried slots 3 & 4 - Checked bios version (F51 which is quite new) - Cleared CMOS each time I made a change - Loosened the CPU cooler to relieve pressure Crucials site says the kit is not compatible, but I cannot see why not. Standard 1.2v UDIMM. The MB also supports 4x32GB kits. Does this sound like a compatibility issue or a DOA memory module? I would have thought if 1 DIMM boots, the other should?

Hi, my brother has a NZXT H210i with a NZXT controller V2 and we have a very strange issue. The controller is not recognised and RGB lights are flickering when the PC is idle. But when he fires up Furmark or a game and puts the PC under load the lights stop flickering and sometimes the device is recognised in NZXT CAM (the NZXT controller software). We have tried the following: - Reinstalled NZXT CAM - Fresh windows install - Moving the controller to another PSU rail (there is a HDD and SSD on this rail and they don't show any issues) - Used another NZXT RGB controller (from my PC as I have a H510 Elite with the same controller) Are we looking like a PSU or Motherboard issue? Super strange how it stops flickering when UNDER load.

Wouldn't that affect performance while I'm gaming? I'm only rocking a GTX 1660 super (this is my second rig at my GF house) Am I able to just add a second gpu? How would Windows know to communicate with the card without its driver? Possible option! Library is fairly big already thanks for your replies!

That's what I'm doing already, and unfortunately I've already hit the max limit of 2 nvenc transcodes at one time on a GTX card, hence the classic cpu transcoding so it only works on Windows server? Shame

Simple noob question, is it possible to passthrough an nvidia quadro to a windows hyper-v vm while having a GTX card installed on the host system? I have a plex server that I use sometimes for gaming, and I can notice when someone is transcoding, tanks cpu performance. Can I pass through a quadro for hardware transcoding while having a GTX 1660 driver installed on the host system? I'm asking after watching an LTT vid on the code 43 being resolved. Thanks!

Sorry guys, MASSIVE typo on my part. I ment to say Steam Deck. My bad.

Title says it all really, I have a deposit on a steam deck, however I'm more interested in the remote gaming side of it from my main rig rather than gaming on the device itself.... Is it a massive waste of money? And other device ye would recommend other than the steam deck? I wanna like the Razer Kishi, but the screen on my phone is too small. I mostly use Parsec for streaming. Edit: Steam deck, not link

Well to everyone who's wondering what happened, I spent the better part of 2 hours making backups & dumps, documenting everything ready for a fresh reinstall. When I installed the new components, I turned it on to check if everything was ok, hit DEL to enter the BIOS . . . . I turned away for a moment and when I turned back the PC missed the BIOS and I saw "Getting devices ready" . . . . then voila!! Windows booted flawlessly with everything working correctly. Woops

Quick question, is it absolutley nesissary to perform a clean install of Windows when changing core hardware? I will be migraing from x79 to B450 . . . . motherboard, cpu & memory. My system is very complex with multiple VM's, shared drives, virtual network devices, scripts, scheduled tasks, etc . . . . and the thought of having to restore it makes me sick. Is Windows smart enough in 2021 to detect the changes?

Hi guys, just bought a 5600x to upgrade my rig. I would like to upgrade to Corsair vengeance RGB 3600mhz memory (CMW16GX4M2D3600C18). But I cant for the life of me find out if its compatible with my Asus ROG B450-F motherboard? Anyone have any insight or thoughts?

Has this issue been fixed?

Yeah maybe, I was hoping that I would have a better chance at a higher turbo clock then what I'm getting with a Xeon

Oh sorry, another piece I forgot. I'm using a Intel DX79TO

And is the 3960x still too old do you think? I know its hard to estimate how a 10 year old CPU will I can see in HWMonitor that at one stage the cores did boost to 3.8, not not while gaming. Holds steady at 3.1. Also I only have 4 channels populated as one of the slots is broken.

I recently got a GTX 1660 Super for a spare rig I own. The rig has a Xeon E5-2690. When playing Apex Legends, I notice large fluctuations from 80fps to 144fps. The GPU mostly stays in the 70%-80% utilisation area with dips down to 60% and the CPU hovers around 50% @3.1ghz. Changing graphics quality rarely makes a difference, and the CPU never goes above 3.1ghz on all 12 threads. GPU stays at the same clock. Clarity: CPU: 50 degrees GPU: 70 degrees Tried both SSD and HDD Is the CPU bottlenecking the GPU? Would a 3930k or a 3970x help my situation?

Something else to note. the first time this happened I had made changes that day with FPS caps using nvidia profile inspector, which I thought corrupted the driver, but I have wiped the pc of drivers with DDU. Im using the PC right now, but with no drivers installed, so Im running roughly @30hz

Windows 10 Pro - Version 10.0.19041 Build 19041 It was on a newer version, but I have rolled back

No, I have nothing spare with m I thought if it was a GPU/PSU issue I would have continued to see issues, even with no drivers installed . . . . that's what confuses me
