Yeah. The Samsung kit boots just fine in my z690 board, 3200 at 1.2v

Don’t all Ddr4 default to 2133 when not in xmp?

I’m building a Plex machine with a 7700k and a Gigabyte Z170N Wi-Fi board. I installed windows and updated everything including bios using a stick of ram from my main PC (Crucial BL2K16G32C16U4RL) while I was waiting for the kit I bought for this machine to arrive. The kit I bought from r/HardwareSwap is an HP oem one, seems to be pulled from a workstation or prebuilt. https://imgur.com/a/nRIS1kD If I try to boot with both, or just one of these sticks, in either slot, the system doesn’t post, keeps boot looping. If I use 1 stick of ram from my main pc, and 1 of these, the system boots, all the memory shows up and even passes ram tests. Like I mentioned, I have tried updating the bios, clearing cmos, all combinations of just the kit, nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

I've attached a paint masterpiece trying to help paint a better picture of what I wanna do. Is there any way to achieve this on a Windows PC?

Hi, I'm swapped the cooler on my MSI 1080ti with a Kraken G12, using an Asetek 12mm aio for the die. The system booted fine, temps were pretty close to ambient as well under no load. So I ran Unigine Heaven to stability and stress test it and it started stuttering right off the bat. Under event viewer it showed "nvlddmkm stopped responding". I was able to run a light game like Overwatch just fine at 144 FPS, but I booted up Just Cause 3, and it too crashed right out of the gate with message "dxgi device removed". I monitored the temps using both After burner and GPU-Z, no spikes over 45 C. Now, I tried to do my best to clear off the old Paste from near the die, attached is the best I could manage after 15 minutes of rubbing with isopropyl and a microfiber cloth. But I watched this Video from LTT and Linus mentions it shouldn't that much of an issue on GPUs. I guess my troubleshooting steps will be to reinstall drivers, check for any bridged contacts and try to clear that goop out. Any other suggestions? Regards A sleep deprived guy whos going to bed now but will follow your advice in 8-10 hours, cheers

The corsair software shows the pump running at standard speeds, and I can game and use my PC just fine, its just that the temps reach 70C in most tasks.

Yeah, I did replace the stock fans with Noctuas, but they show up in the Corsair software with RPMs reporting just fine. I did feel the mounting surface of the cooler, and it felt uneven with several grooves along one direction. It was nothing crazy, wasn't even visible. Is that something of concern?

I did that about 4 times(pea size, line, spread with a spudger). I even got a IC graphite thermal pad to remove any chance of a poor application. Those only increase temps by 2-3C, not enough to explain the delta b/w my temps and their temps

Yeah, it varied b/w 1.31-1.33v depending on the load

(@1.32V) Gigabyte HD3P rev1.0 and a Corsair H100i v2. The CPU went over 100C in about 15 seconds.

the respective ones are in parenthesis next to the setups (1.36 for them 1.32 for me), sorry if that wasn't clear.

Hey all, I recently had my 8700k delidded by silicon lottery. Once I did end up putting it in my system, couldn't clock it over 4.4GHz without throttling in Aida64. I figured it might be a bad delid, I sent it back to them for testing and binning. They just got back to me with sub 70 C temps while clocked at 4.9GHz in P95. Their setup was (@1.36V) Maximus X Hero, Corsair H105 AIO, while I used a (@1.32V) Gigabyte HD3P rev1.0 and a Corsair H100i v2. I'm guessing there's something wrong with my cooler, right? Is there anything short of testing on a different cpu I can do to confirm this? And is there anything I should know before I RMA it? Thanks!

Raid Arrays for even faster speeds, I have a 250GB NMVE SSD as my boot drive, and a 1TB SATA SSD as my Game Drive. I'm sure there's more reasons.

Post the question

None that jump to my mind. Just make sure you read all the conditions, since there are a bunch of them and make sure you're okay with them.
