  1. I'm having the same error, but I buffed the board with DDR5 5200 CL38 memory [Corsair Dominator], after I update the BiOS/UEFi, I'll try one memory stick. Btw. did You manage to get somewhere @Rayanami?
  2. @StealthArsenal thank You. Well, yes, it was the best AiO I've had, but it was just too buggy. I didn't find out till I wanted to do the maintenance and I found out that the thread flayed when I tried to screw the joint back to place. I hope that the MLC solution is gonna bring more quality, though, I'm not particularly happy about decentralized pump. They want to build something like "lego", You can pick Your rad, tubing, liquid, pump, liquid blocks for CPU, VGA, etc. but I'm not sure that's gonna work that great. So many QDC, that will slow down the liquid flow greatly. Not sure how they're planning on solving this issue.
  3. NoiseBlocker I heard are superb. I bought three, but two were DOA, so I didn't use this brand further on. Well, it's not bad going cheap, when they serve the purpose :). I will give a shot to some of the Be Quiet! fans some day soon I believe. Yeah, copper makes more sense compared to aluminium due to notorious clogging issues, which are caused by aluminium and it's fine powder produced overtime by peeling of the surface. With copper, this issue is close to non-existent. But still, these AiO solutions aren't meant for more than 1-2 years I believe, even when Corsair puts [ridiculous] 5, 7 or 10 years warranty on all of them. Noctua and their prime "diarrhea" lineup ain't rippling the waters of the market anymore, mostly due to their "diarrhea" characteristic color, which is a total shame. I'd be still going full noctua, if they made blades transparent and put 4-12 leds inside/on the outer rim, or would at least make them black and white, black and gray, or put red/blue as an accent color. Though, I believe Austrian minds won't go that far any time soon, which might as well be their demise. With the ridiculously low and trolling Arctic Cooling and their Liquid Freezer 120, 240 and 360 AiOs, they're pretty much closing down the low-end to mid-range grade AiOs and CPU coolers in general [even the Air ones], due fact, that their unmatched in almost all areas. I had the pleasure with AC LF120 and it was an exquisite experience. If it didn't looks so cheap, etc. I'd be using it myself it can cool down the 6850k running on 1.218 vCore ticking on 4.2 GHz without a sweat in push/pull configuration. We're talking 140W [iridium soldered though], slightly OCed 6 core beast and cheap 50e AiO cooler here. Attached You can find my ex-computer [Chaos Spectrum, called after the mouse I use :)], which is now powered by cheap, but heavily functional CLC from AC. Sorry for the photo quality, it ain't the best, but You can see what's going on the picture.
  4. It sure does, but what the hell. This Be Quiet! SilentLoop does similiar job. Not the same, but similiar. And there's some nice warranty on it too, so I don't give a thing :). Hmm, so You say that those Be Quiet! Silent Wings 2 are any good? I have like 20 of them in my closet, don't use them. I found these Corsair ML, which look pretty good, are a monster airflow wise and have some heavy air pushing capabilities, though, they're really faulty way too often. They're also pretty damn silent comparing performance/noise ratio. Though, I just might try these Silent Wings some day. The AiO is a pretty surprise for me too, though, if You're not using 140W beast, I don't think it could offer more than Corsair h105, these Corsair h100/100i/105/110/115/GT/GTX are a beasts. They're "mediocre" theory-wise, but they deliver a lot of punch where it matters]. Noctuas, hmm. I love the brand, but they seriously slept over an age of pretty enthusiast grade products. NZXT, Corsair and others are kicking their asses design-wise. Of course, I'm talking about visual design, not functional. They're unmatched functional design-wise. Undefeated. But still, using Industrial fans just because they're black and noisy like hell just isn't a solution. It's nice that they made chromax [have a few of them packs of my own] rubber fan holders, but what enthusiasts miss is black and white, black and red, black and blue fans, or at least some accents, and maybe some RGB fans, or at least LED accented red, green and white fans. I used to go full Noctua in the past, but hell, that was some 7 years ago. Now I'm all NZXT and Aer, Corsair and ML, and some other brands. I really like their design
  5. Thank You. Yes I did. The EK-XLC Predator 360 had some issues + the biggest one was, that it was 68mm high + was really specific, because I couldn't use it as this BeQuiet! SilentLoop 360, with fans attached on the top of the case, hidden by the plastic cover and now the AiO only takes 30mm, instead of 68, which gave me the space for my future [hope to be] VROC confo, which is already set in place, just waiting for some update from Intel/Gigabyte. This is in general my "temporary" AiO, I'm waiting for the EK MLC [modular liquid cooling], but I've no idea what it is, when it'll come out and many others + I really fell for BeQuiet! lately. Their PSU's are super quiet, their cases are really functional and not that bad looking at all + it has a tempered glass and is fully modular and they have this nice AiO, which is like super quiet, I've never seen one so quiet, besides EK-XLC Predators water pump. And a big plus, it's full copper set and it's refillable, so it's quiet a long distance runner judging by it's initial configuration. And the design of all BeQuiet! products is superb, I really love minimalistic design so, that's why I switched this here and that there
  6. There, after TONS of changes, despair, swearing and other bad things, my build is starting to take some shape. I also had the GA GTX 1080Ti WaterForce Xtreme inside, but she was so loud, I exchanged her for FTW3 and will wait for FTW3 with hybrid cooler.
  7. @iamdarkyoshi thank You very much for a ultra fast reply! Hmm. So there's not much I can do about it, right? :/. I can mix them, leave the weaker ones on one side, and stronger ones on the other, or something ._.
  8. Hey there guys Any idea why four of my eight Corsair Dominator Platinum RAM modules have weaker LED light? They're the same model, same type, use the same RAM upgrade, etc. It's just two 32GB kits, bought some time one from another [a year]. Please see attachment for the preview of the situation Thank You and best regards uplink
  9. there are only a few above H100i, at least to my current knowledge. Swiftech H240 X2, H320X2 Prestige, Arctic Liquid Ferezer 240 and that's about that. Not even h115i GTX and h110i are catching up. Well, h110i is, but there's little difference. It's a good AiO. Is Your pump silent? No rattle? https://photos.app.goo.gl/j1HWiUYHripsKOks1 Is this what You're looking for?
  10. One of the "real" problems I've encountered is, that my X99 Deluxe II doesn't support hw raid. Thus, I'm unable to use bitlocker. My data files are kind of sensitive case, well, at least for my clients. So a TPM + bitlocker combo is an imperative. Am running my raid array with VeraCrypt atm. but it's just way too buggy compared to Bitlocker. If I didn't have this issue, I wouldn't most likely succumb to X299. https://goo.gl/photos/oZbjdyN5viBCvuYT8 Am using 3 Enterprise NVMe SSDs with my X99. All slots are 8x/8x/8x/8x and it's still great and only possible because of the additional controllers on this motherboard, which Asus provided. If I had some other type/brand of X99, I'd be left with 2 NVMe SSD drives tops most likely, or suffered from speed drops. One of those for sure. Mine leaks too. Though, it's not a big deal. It can last up to 12 months running at full power, loses liquid very slowly. But yes, I'm aware of this issue. And some others. I just confirmed the leaking, when I refilled mine with red [crimson concentrate] liquid [that was accidentally given to me by the shop I ordered it from, instead of the transparent one]. And it was a good thing. Now I have a proof for EK, and will replace it for the next gen. when it comes out with some nice discount. Or will take the X line of their water cooling sets and build it.
  11. @reniat if I wanted bragging rights, I'd wait for the hotter than sun 7960X
  12. @reniat gonna get it with high clock [4.5+ GHz] + am using it mainly for Creative Cloud and powerhungry apps like AE, Illu and PS + Encoder. So multicore is an imperative for me It's not that I don't like KL, but still, I kind of "could" use all that power, SL offers me.
  13. @reniat could be. I used it as a work rig, needed it functional and operational asap. Had my 90 days of "fun" and crazy tuning and all. But I couldn't simply handle it anymore. P.S.: I'm aware of 7700k TiM problems, also 7900X, though, I still run them at full effeciency and proficiency [not the 7900X though, yet] and they work like charm. Can't help it. Intel is a bad, naughty and awfull kid, always trying to pee a little bit further, rendering it's customers totally debilitated in progress. I fully realize that and not only I realize the need of AMD on the market, I'm AMD fan, huge one. Though, the real life application plays still a prime at my life.
  14. I had some mad love for AMD, when they presented Zen [Ryzen, Threadripper, Epyc], but it was all extinguished by tons of bugs I encountered :/. Replaced it for 7700k and TUF from Asus. I still hope for some miracle with Vega, but towards what we've seen with Frontier, I'm having my doubts...
