  1. Hey guys so I just wanted to leave you with a quick update. We are in BIOS! I'm a NEWB and didn't try different ram slots and was overall not very patient. Upon trying 1 dimm in the 2 slot and letting it boot for more than 2 seconds the CPU light would go off, then it would turn on with a GPU LED debug light, then BAM! We got post.Thanks a ton for all your help guys and I hope I can help you later on. I'll be back if we have an unexpected failure
  2. I can tell you that normally only the people who have issues with components make reviews. Other than that, ASUS is a very reliable company so it really your judgement.
  3. Absolutely man, a 1070 is a great card and a 7600k will do you well for many years. In terms of mid range, this is the sweet spot. Great price for everything as well.
  4. I'm only using 2 sticks, but the board was build specially for Ryzen, so I have a hard time believing they would overlook something like that.
  5. For the record it was already 90% of the way in, just with the clip out.
  6. Clip has been secured. It's a bit late, and I'm going to work on it tomorrow, but thanks for the suggestion.
  7. The Hertz on a monitor describes basically how many frames the monitor is capable of showing in a second, so your monitor can show 75 frames a second, unlike the much more common 60 hz, or 60 FPS. So the monitor accepts as many frames as the GPU gives it, whether it's 30 or 180, but it can only show a max of 75 FPS. I don't see any reason in your specs why you should be getting frame drops, so I suggest checking task manager and MSI afterburner to see which is maxed out, and fix accordingly.
  8. Modular comes with all the cables, they can just be disconnecting from the PSU, but they come with the unit.
  9. Assuming you're talking about the PSU, Semi-Modular usually has the 24 pin as a non-modular cable, but with the rest normally being modular. Fully modular includes the 24 pin as a modular cable.
  10. The ram I have is this here http://amzn.to/2wsAucc , and I've wondered about 24 pins for awhile. I've never been able to fully push in the 24 pin without having the MOBO look like it's about to split in half. It can go further, but it would require a crazy amount of pressure.
  11. I spent a couple hours debugging the system, and I plan to work on it a bit more in the morning, so I will definetly try, but I'm still wondering if I may be missing something here. This isn't my first rig but it's my first CPU failure so the stress is real
  12. Really depends on your dorm. Most dorms I've seen have desk space and enough for even a mid tower case under the desk. However if you are really cramped for space a mini ITX would be ideal if it needed to be on the desk with you. ITX is really nice if you go to lan parties as well. Check out some of LTT's reviews of ITX Cases, and see if you need a case that small to fit in your room, other I think micro ATX should be fine.
  13. So building a new Ryzen 7 rig today and the most disappointing thing happened, no POST after completion! I'm using a b350 PC mate MSI motherboard, which has Ez debug LED's, and on boot the fans spin up and lights on the MOBO and GPU light up, but the computer doesn't post and has the CPU debug light a solid red. It hasn't boot up yet, and I've tried resetting the CMOS, re-seating the 8 Pin CPU header, and re-seating the CPU itself. Are there any other potential fixes other than replacing the CPU itself? Let me know if you need any more info.
