Sadly, I replaced the motherboard, and it still has issues. I just pulled out a stick of ram, because I haven't ran a memtest yet and that's the only thing I have not replaced besides the cpu. It's been about four hours so far, and I haven't had a single crash. An 8gb stick of ram is so much cheaper than an i7, so I'm hoping that my problem is solved.

Nice, me too

Oh! That makes sense lol

That's true, but that would mean new ram, cpu, and mobo. I'm honestly thinking of just picking up a 4790k.

I'm praying that it's the ram, ddr3 isn't too expensive these days.

Nope, the hdd is long gone, I replaced it with a WD Blue 250gb ssd. The hard drive was overvolting so I got rid of it.

I don't have any other Haswell systems to test it on, I'm swapping out the ram tomorrow to see if that is the point of failure. If it's 100% not ram, I'll probably be buying a new cpu

Nvidia sells gpu's on their website for msrp, you should be able to grab at least a 1070 on there*. https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/products/10series/geforce-store/ *WHEN they're in stock.

Windows 10 Pro Intel Pentium G3220 @ 3.00GHz 31 °C 16.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 Asus H81M-A (SOCKET 1150) 2047MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 (MSI) 232GB Western Digital WDC

Sure, let me run speccy, it's quicker than typing it all out.

Hey guys, I'm probably having a cpu issue, and it would be awesome if people who have more experience than me could give some advice. So about a month ago, I heard a clicking noise coming from my pc, I was pretty sure it was my pc fan, so I replaced the stock cooler with a 212 evo. I kept hearing a click from the same part of my pc, and I realized that it was definitely my psu, so I replaced my 5+ year old 430w Thermaltake with a new 550w bronze from Corsair. Also, shortly after installing a new cooler, my system started randomly crashing. I checked my thermals, and even under a full load it wouldn't hit 40c, so I decided that it was definitely not the cooler. After both these replacements, my computer would not even boot. My hard drive was overvolting, and shutting down every system it was put in, so I bought a WD ssd. Then, my system would boot about once every ten tries. I forgot to mention, I looked up symptoms of dying ram, and I'm pretty sure that's not it, my system never slows down, only freezes and gets the bsod. And it can't be my gpu, because even without it, my system acts the same. I then replaced the motherboard, thinking I might have fried it with the dying power supply or the overvolting hdd. Now, it freezes and crashes less, but still way to often to be usable. So, all that leads me to believe that probably my cpu is dying, it's an old Haswell Pentium, so I wouldn't be surprised. Thoughts? Thanks!

I'll check it out ??

That's a really nice case, do you know if it supports the 212 evo?

I impulsively buy parts, and I was sick of my stock cooler this is the result.

Hey guys, I recently bought a 212 evo for my mini itx motherboard, and I'm wondering what case to get. Currently, my build is in a random mid tower, and I can't fit the side panel on it anymore. I'm looking for a good mini itx case that can fit my gigantic cooler. I like Phanteks cases because they come in a nice grey color, but I definitely haven't made up my mind and I'm looking for suggestions. I only have a few requirements for a case: 1. Mini ITX 2. Wide enough to fit a 212 evo 3. Fits full size PSU 4. Under $80 U.S. Here's a picture of the cooler for a size reference. Thanks!
