I really like Asus, but man, most of their software are pretty buggy ... I went through this a long time ago, and this is how I manage to make it work. 1.- Uninstall current version from Control Panel (typical uninstall, don't use the Add or Remove Programs from Windows 10, use the one uninstall from Control Panel) 2.- Go into the folder where AI Suite was installed and make sure to delete every folder from there. 3.- Run CCleaner and clean registry 4.- Turn off PC and unplug power chord for 30 seconds and turn back on 5.- Run AI SUITE 3 CLEANER 6.- Restart PC 7.- Download AI SUITE 3 VERSION 3.00.10 & 3.00.13 (Its a Beta version but is WAY more stable than others) 8.- On the downloaded file, right click on it and select Properties 9 .- At the very bottom, in the Security section, mark the checkbox that says "Unblock" 10.- Extract content and install. 11.- Turn off PC by using Alt + f4 then Shut Down. 12.- Turn back on and enjoy AI Suite 13.- Have a beer after all the trouble. I hope it helps

Update: Yesterday I followed the guide that I sent you on the other post, and was able to get to 3.75Ghz ... Maybe I could get up to 3.8Ghz but didn't wanted to add more voltage. Still, was able to get to that 3.75 with less voltage than prior installing the second AIO. Next step is to OC the GPU and see how much I can get. The main question of the post is still unanswered tho, why the OC got worst by installing the new AIO Sorry for the spam

This is ridiculuos ... I was able to OC just a little bit from 3.2Ghz to 3.5Ghz also using the XMP profile. I ran a benchmark on RealBench (8 minutes) and 15 minutes of stress test on the same realbench and I got no issues at all, it passed like 10 minutes when I decided to call it a win and close up the case and as soon as I looked away, the PC restarted itself.

hey again ... Looking at some other posts in here, found these two (those are for Ryzen tho.... but maybe will be informative)

No, it's not new, I've activated the XMP profile since the very beginning, even prior installing the second AIO and back then my config was something like cpu Multiplier > 38.5 Offset > +.0850 (dont remember the last 2 digits, but it was .08xxx) RAM > XMP enabled Ok, I'll check the base clock and start playing around with the multiplier and the offset ... Man, if I'm able to get even to 37.5 I would be more than happy. One dumb question, by adding more offset to the CPU voltage, it means that I should be able to get to my previous GPU OC more easily?

Well... Yesterday when I got the crashes, the only thing that was OC was the RAM, with the D.C.O.P profile. Everything else was restored to default (Auto). It was until I completely restored to default (No D.C.O.P profile) when the system was stable enough to handle Prime95 and Valley benchmark. I believe that the default VDDCR CPU voltage is 1.2V and then I can do an offset of that. I THINK that my offset was +0.10000 when got the crashes. Should I add more offset?

I can't thank enough for your help, I'm really desperate here ... I'm heading to work now, but as soon as I get home i'll just unplug everything and plug it back again and see if there's any change.

When the GPU AIO pump is running at 50% it makes a noise, but as soon as I set it to Max RPM the noise goes away. As for the CPU AIO pump, as it's connected to the AIO header in the motherboard, its always at 100% and never have made any noise at all.

Hey man, thx for the suggestion, I did what you said, reapplied the thermal paste on the GPU, I applied a thin layer over the entire GPU, but unfortunately I'm getting the same results, I can't OC the GPU nor the CPU. Which is weird because in the whole process, I didn't even touch the CPU, so I can't tell why I can't OC the CPU now Do you think it has something to do with the amount of things that I've connected into the motherboard? I mean, I added a pump and 3 extra fans (1 fan from the Kraken G12 that goes into the VRMs and 2 from the rad)

Hello everyone, A couple of days ago, I installed a Kraken x52 + Kraken g12 into my Rog Strix GTX 1080 A8G. Before this, my temps weren't that bad, under full load, about 70-71°C (158°F) but the fans were almost at 90% and man, that was pretty loud, so that's why I decided to install the AIO. Once installed, the temps went down to 51-54°C (124°F) and barely can hear the fans on my PC. The problem here is that I started to notice that the GPU could not be Overclocked anymore, prior installing the AIO, I was able to get into the 2100's Mhz on the Core Clock and now I can barely hit the 1900's Mhz. Also happened with my OC in the CPU, which is a Ryzen 5 1600, prior installing the AIO, I was able to get to 3.85 Ghz and now I'm only able to get up to 3.5 Ghz. The temps on both are really low, like I mentioned before, under load, the GPU stays in the 51-54°C and the CPU stays in the 54-56°C. NOTE: As my CPU cooler, I haver another AIO, which is the CoolerMaster Master Liquid Lite 120 I'm not sure if it has to do on how I connect the Kraken x52 cables, but here's how I did it. Pump into Fan header and set to MAX RPM Kraken G12 fan into Kraken x52 fan cable + 2 fans from the Rad Micro USB from Kraken x52 into USB 2.0 port in the motherboard On top of that, my PC randomly crashes, even with the lightest OC and just by being idle. I already set everything to default and ran Prime95 for CPU stress and Heaven benchmark for GPU stress and it seems that the crashes stopped, but I can't figure out why I'm no longer able to OC. Here are my specs before and after the installation of the second AIO. Before OS: Windows 10 Pro 64 bits Version 10.0.16299 Build 16299 Case: Phantek Eclipse P400S Tempered glass 2 top fans (the ones that came with the case) 2 front fans: InWin Polaris RGB 1 back fan: Rad + fan of the MasterLiquid Lite 120 Motherboard: Rog Strix B350-F Gaming - Latest BIOS from Asus support page (v.3401) CPU: Ryzen 5 1600 CPU AIO Cooler: Master Liquid Lite 120 RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB 2x 8GB 3000 MHz GPU: Rog Strix GTX 1080 A8G - stock fans PSU: EVGA SuperNova 750W P2 SSD: Samsung 850 EVO - 250GB HDD: Western Digital 1TB Other: Led strip that came with Phantek case After Case: Phantek Eclipse P400S Tempered glass 2 top fans (the ones that came with the case) 4 front fans: InWin Polaris RGB + Kraken x52 fans (I got a push/pull config, the SP fans are pushing and the InWin Polaris pulling, I left those just for the aesthetics) 1 back fan: Rad + fan of the MasterLiquid Lite 120 GPU AIO Cooler: Kraken x52 + Kraken g12 Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Somewhere I read that too, but looking at the QVL for the ones from G.Skill, none of those were RGB ... bummer

Hey guys! I'm about to upgrade my whole rig but I'm not sure if the Memory I choose will be compatible with the MOBO. MB: ROG STRIX B350-F Gaming Memory: Corsair Vengenance RGB 2x8GB 3000Mhz (CMR16GX4M2C3000C15) I already looked into the QVL but the only one listed is the CMU16GX4M2C3000C15, which is the LED variant, not the RGB. Do you know if the RGB one will work at least at a speed of 2933Mhz? Thank you in advance!
