    I suggest clearing the CMOS (the little circular battery under the graphics card there) which will reset the BIOS settings, and should refresh any issues the PC might have to make it unable to boot.

    Have you not tried google? Nothing wrong with asking for help but this is a very basic troubleshooting step. Simply Take out all your RAM, and insert one stick. See if it works. If it doesn't, either that stick or that RAM slot is the problem. If the stick doesn't work, try it in another slot. If it still doesn't work, you know its the stick, not the slot, as the problem carries over independent of the RAM slot.

    According to Asus' website, it's 173mm wide, which would accodomate a Hyper 212 EVO, which is 159mm high.
     
    Although, I would never recommend a Hyper 212 EVO unless you're super budget-tightened. Choosing an alternative such as an Arctic Freezer 33 eSports One, Scythe Mugen 5, or a be quiet! Dark Rock 4 will be a much better option as an aftermarket cooler.

    My old i5-650, 8GB DDR3, GT 710 system is still walking on two legs, except in games it can't run such as Overwatch.
    It gets a 100-200CB score, for the record, in contrast to the 1100-1200CB score I get with my current PC.

    I understand the point as its wasted screen space other wise and generally agree its a good compromise. But I will take my S8+ design over it.

    No headphone jack and you have to choose between an ugly notch or a resolution from 2013.  I'll pass.

    jiyeon got a reaction from IAmAndre in Arctic Freezer 33 eSports One - One Cold Cooler   
    I had the idea to go for the Arctic Freezer 33 eSports One - which I shall be calling the Arctic 33 eSports from here - when I was itching to replace my ugly behemoth known as the Cooler Master Hyper 212, and also because I wanted more out of my CPU, particularly in temperatures. (Spoiler: It succeeded)
     
    Starting with the mounting of the cooler itself, I ended up having to remove my entire motherboard out of case due to the nature of the mounting bracket, which needs to latch on, and would be extremely difficult had I kept the motherboard inside the case.
    I did run into a problem where my motherboard's CPU backplate actually clashed with the 33 eSports's mounting plate, so I ended up having to lightly force the backplate onto my motherboard so the mounting holes would be parallel to the motherboard's holes. This showed why tower air coolers should be mounted outside the case, it eliminates any claustrophobia than if one were to attempt a cooler mount inside the case.
    In the end, I did manage to get it installed through Arctic's handy YouTube tutorial and my own experience with the Hyper 212 which I had mounted thrice previously.
     
    As you can see, it matches everything in my PC (and outside to boot) perfectly! Couldn't have planned the color scheme better if I tried! Excellent color choices from Arctic.
     

     
    Next was placing the board and the new cooler back inside my PC, and behold, the sexiest my PC has ever looked since its birth back in June. The 33 eSports' beautiful black and white contrasting color scheme blends in perfectly with the rest of my PC components, however admittedly the fan ddoes look a little lonesome with no RGB/LED lights on it, in the future perhaps?
     

     
    The cooler looks absolutely beautiful once inside the case and surrounded by the hardware atmosphere, it looks right at home and makes me wonder how this option flew over my head when I was starting out my PC build. Better late than never.
     

     

     
     
    Now onto the temperatures, they prepare your eyes.
    Here is my PC; and 8600K at 4.4GHz 1.2V, now with the brand new eSports One cooler installed.
    I ran a Cinebench R15 test and the highest my PC ever went was 61°C on a 4.4GHz overclock. Magnificent.

     
    I got slightly manic and wanted to go further, and decided to run my 8600K at 4.7GHz and still 1.2V.
    ... It peaked at 62°C. I swear I didn't PhotoShop these temps/clocks either.

     
    I am completely astounded by the strength of this cooler which I bought for £35. The Hyper 212 I bought for £10 less, by the way. I have complete confidence in using this cooler full-time on my 8600K at 4.4GHz and above, the temperatures are unbelievable.
    Moral of the story, get this cooler, because the Arctic 33 eSports One is the blatant budget choice for temps and clocks. The 33 eSports is also more aesthetically-pleasing to literally everything else.. No really, asking anyone and 10/10 times they'll prefer the Arctic 33 eSports One's visuals.
    So what can we get out of this comparison? It's that the Arctic 33 eSports can hold temperatures exceptionally well. In fact my 4.4GHz and 4.7GHz Arctic 33 eSports runs were done in succession within two minutes of each other. This is beneficial when you're doing heavy workloads and usage over the course of a long period. This fits into my usage, so it's a no-brainer that the Arctic 33 eSports would be destined for me.
     
     

     
    Let's talk about how the dynamics of how the cooler works.
     
    The architecture and design of the cooler is genius. The fans and the finwalls of the heatsinks help in dissipation, as shown below:

    There is also a thermal wall inside of the heatsink that creates artifical turbulence to dissipate more heat using more surface area. As you can see below, traditionally without thermal coating, the middle portion of the heatsink remains cold and doesn't contribute to any heat dissipation which is wasted surface area.

    Image courtesy of Arctic.ac
     
    The design of the fan also allows for universal RAM module compatibility with RAM sticks of any height due to the width of the heatsink and fan not overlapping any DIMM modules.

    The H500 doesn't support a 200mm top exhaust, only the front which can support 2x 200mm. The top takes 2x 140mm or 3x 120mm, not a 200mm.
     
    In any case, 2x 140mm is better for the top.

    Those two CPUs have different use cases; One is made for gaming, one is made for HEDT workstation tasks.
     
    Since you said you're going to be gaming, get the i7-8086K. Although, a normal i7-8700K will suffice too.

    Out of curiousity, what case allows you to have the options of a single 200mm or dual 140mm?
