    Pump is more than fine, I think it's something to do with the motherboard settings for the CPU...

    Pump is fine, automatically increases/decreases fan speed depending on cpu temp.

    This, and just make sure the pump is running at all.
     
    Yes airflow not an issue most likely.

    The reason why may have been that it was unstable because the CPU wasn't overclocked. Generally you need a stable CPU overclock to get a stable RAM overclock, including XMP.
    If you head over to BIOS you should see an XMP setting for the CPU as well (which you probably missed), that will overclock to the recommended CPU frequency set by the XMP profile to keep the RAM settings stable.
    However as you were fine for a week or so you probably only need a very light overclock to ensure compability and stability, so the XMP suggestion shouldn't boost that much..
    So perhaps +200 MHz on the CPU just to ensure stability should do if you don't feel comfortable with how much the XMP suggests for the CPU - though I would still recommend go with what the XMP suggests is needed, as long as it doesn't go way too high in clock because then you might need to increase the CPU voltage if it's not done automatically, and then it all becomes bit of a different story for warranty and such.
     
    Alternatively you could just set the RAM to a lower frequency as suggested above, perhaps 3000 Mhz for a starter (if it stays stable for more than a week, you could try 3200 MHz and see if it still holds), though if you do this by disabling XMP, you would need to manually edit the RAM voltages and timings, so look up in BIOS what the DRAM voltage and the other previously mentioned voltages are set to, as well as the primary timings.
    I can't say for sure, but I believe it should be possible to enable XMP but change the frequency and still keep the other settings... anyone? That would be easier for you.
     
    As you can see RAM clocking and stability isn't that easy of a subject, so you would be better off for now with just disabling the XMP and keep it at 2133 MHz, or 2400 MHz (should work too, though not 100% guaranteed), and do some reading and learning in the meantime and then take a look at this again.
    The bottomline however, is that you pretty much don't benefit from high speed RAM at all unless you've overclocked your CPU as the CPU overclock will have the greatest impact on performance.
     
    Though there may be something else than the CPU clock (given that it only errors when rebooting), but it's less likely so try this for now
    Long text I know, but I was bored.

    Are you talking about AI suite ? if so, start AI suite then go into the fan control tab and reset all controls to default, or use it to set your fans at whatever RPM you want.

    if the 24 pin is slotted in, its fine. My clip actually broke off completely.
     
    The CPU cable should definetly reach, although maybe not in the best looking path. The shortest path is literally like 1 foot away if you go over the motherboard.
     
    And its legoes man, seriously. Its not hard at all. Square plug ONLY plugs into a square socket for example. You can't mess it up. When it comes to the tiny plugs from your case labeled "PWR" or "HDD LED", you literally plug in onto the pins that are labeled the exact name on the motherboard. It can't get any simpler than it is.

    Amer reacted to CostcoSamples in Best SSD for the $$?   
    There are generally three different ways to plug in an SSD. 
     
    1) SATA - this is the old tried and true method that has been used for years.  a SATA drive usually measures 2.5" in width.  Speed is limited by the SATA interface to theoretical 600 mb/s
    2) M.2, which is basically a mini PCI port. An M.2 drive is very small and usually lays flat on your motherboard, taking up virtually no space.  There are no wires to connect.  M.2 can use either SATA or PCIe, depending on the design.  The 950 PRO uses PCIe lanes to communicate with the CPU, bypassing the SATA limitations.  The communication protocol for PCIe is called NVMe, and it's insanely fast (this is true next gen stuff).
    3) PCIe add-in card, such as the Intel 750 series.  This is also an NVMe thing, incredibly fast.
     
    Hope that helps.  Any drive that uses NVMe is going to be many times faster than any SATA drive, but will cost a LOT more money.

    Spinning disk ~100 ~ 200 MB/Sec SATA SSD 99,000 Read
    18,000 Write 520 MB/Sec Read
    475 MB/Sec Write NVMe SSD 430,000 Read
      50,000 Write 2600 MB/Sec Read
    1000 MB/sec write  
    that is the intel line of SSD as reference. And I'm refering to NVMe
    what's your motherboard
