  1. you will have a hard time stabilizing 6400cl32, better to buy a 2 dimmer board like the unify-x and to overclock the snot out of it
  2. reseat for sure, and check the QVL of your motherboard aswell to see if your ram is on there.
  3. maybe turn off monitor autosleep? should be in the settings use dark theme bro
  4. 4400 15-16 dual rank b die stable! woot

  5. you can get a external usb hub for your non high bandwidth devices (mouse, keyboard, webcam, peripherals, etc.). any decent one off amazon should be fine.
  6. just snagged the jankest X299 dark on ebay for $80. hope it works lol

  7. And have those reviews compared the same setup on the B550-A pro? and that still doesn't say anything about the fact that the X570 Aorus elite is really cooler than the ace, yet also in tier B.
  8. Hi, I just have a couple questions. In tier A, you have the MSI B550-A Pro, which has a 10 phase based on the ubiquitous discrete mosfets that MSI always uses, the 4C029N and 4C024N, with 1 of each per phase. Then, in tier C, you have the X570 Gaming Pro carbon, which has a 10 phase with dual n-fets (QA3111N6N). This puzzled me, so I looked up the spec sheets for both, and it turns out that the X570 GPC has a stronger VRM, efficency-wise. The 4C029N high side mosfet has a RDS(ON) of 5.88ohms, and the 4C024N low side has a RDS(ON) of 2.8 ohms. However, the MSI gaming pro carbon, with its dual n-fets, have slightly less resistance on the high side (5.6ohm), and *significantly* less resistance on the low side, 1.3 ohms to be precise. The low side creates the most amount of heat generally, which means the power loss of the QA3111N6N will be significantly lower. Even the rated throughput of the dual nfets is significantly higher (not that thats really a great resource) So this leads me to question, why the B550-A so high, yet the X570 Gaming pro carbon so low? They both have the same amount of phases (5x2) powered by the same controller (IR35201) using the same doubler/driver (IR3598s), and the same amount of mosfets per stage (1 each of high and low), with the only difference being the significantly higher efficiency of the X570 GPC's dual n fets. Attached are screenshots of the spec sheets for reference. Not to mention, the X570 Aorus Elite has a stonger VRM still, using a 12 phase with 50a DrMOS power stages
  9. hindsight is 20-20, i wish i bought doge 2 years ago lol
  10. this. around the same time, i got a 1070 for literally $120. A good deal yes, but getting a 1070 ti for $200 was nothing crazy, which basically matched the RTX 2060 in games. Not to mention the RTX was useless, and spending the $100-150 more from a 1660 super gave you like 15% more performance.
  11. i would watercool it, if you're gonna spend the cash for a 3090, might as well go all the way.
  12. overclocking maybe buy a nice 2x8 kit of b die, and see how far it'll go
