    Seems like my RAM went bad

    As you have 2 different sets of ram, don't enable XMP. Just increase the frequency to 3600MHz would be my guess for more stability. But buying 2 different kits of ram is calling for trouble. Another option would be to sell both kits and get a new 2x16GB kit for guaranteed compatibility.

    I never used xmp I always set frequencies manual. The weirdest thing is, that the crashes started after I had to clear the cmos....

    It worked fine for 24hrs before that, with the usual timings and frequency

    Hello guys,

    So I've got two upgrades since this happened, the first one were two new nvme ssds and the other was an upgrade in ram, I added another 16gig kit, with tighter timings(the other one wasnt available anywhere).

    After fiddeling with M.2 genie in my boards bios, but nor getting it to work properly, I had to clear the cmos to get it back to booting. From this point on I experienced a lot of BSODs, which were only fixed by downclocking my RAM from 3500C16 to 3200C16. Fast forward to just 10 mins ago, I experienced a freeze, where the audio would still play / get transmitted from the internet, but the PC wouldn't react to any input.

     

    Please post your ideas on why this would happen, I would love to get my 3500C16 and 24/7 stability back.

     

    Specs:

    MSI MEG Z390 Ace

    9900k

    2x8 GSKILL Trident z rgb 3600C17

    2x8 GSKILL Trident z rgb 3600C16 (C17 wasn't available)

    (new ssds) 2x2tb adata xpg sx8200 pro

    sys drive samsung 960 evo 250gig

    Problems with booting

    Hello there,

    I'm in a mess, after I tried to raid two new installed nvme drives and experienced crashes with my third nvme drive (boot drive). I then disabled m.2 Genie and resorted back to a striped volumen in windows.

    It was at that point that G HUB didn't pick up any of my devices and I have to reinstall in order for G HUB to find them again. At the same time, windows started BSODs when I tried to boot with my OC enabled, I managed to boot and enable it when restarting again yesterday, however it didn't work today. The most annoying part is that G HUB won't find my damn stuff.

     

    Here are my specs:

    MSI Z390 ACE

    9900k

    2x8 gskill trident z rgb 3600cl17

    2x8 gskill trident z rgb 3600c16 (no C17 available)

    boot drive samsun 960 evo

    new drives adata xpg sc 8200 pro 2x 2tb

     

    I hope some of you guys and gals out there can help me solve this.

     

    Edit: I forgot to mention that the OC is stable and tested with ~8hrs of prime95 (heavy ram testing, because I recently added the 3600c16 dimms) the cpu is known stable at 5Ghz

    how does the hz and fps work?

    fps is the frames per second your computer outputs to the display.

    The hz is the amount of pictures your display can show in one second.

     

    your monitor isn't glitching when you have less fps than hz, it might just not look as smooth as it would be able to.

    Dual pump yay or nay

    Unless someone has 3 or 4 GPUs and 3 rads in the loop. It's very rare you see people use two pumps. Worth to do some investigation.

    I did search for posts and some help, but I didn't find any so I thought that asking here was the right place to find my answeres.
    And here I got what I needed to know :) thank you guys

    Of course we are talking about full load. A D5 at half speed can easily run one CPU block, one GPU block and two radiators without temperature penalty.

    It's a fullcover block, but if what you're saying is true, I think either the pump has a problem or the ek thick rad is too much lol

     

    but I'll test it later today

     

    Edit: I just remembered that my pump was never running at 50%, cause its vibratin quite bad, while doing so. It was running 30% then 70% then 100% and from 70 to 100, was verry little difference (to none), but from 30-40 to 70 there was a difference...

    Hi watercooling people,

    I am looking into upgrading my gpu with either big navo or the new nvidia 3000 series. I already have a custom loop for my 9900k, which is currently hooked up to a ek 360 thick rad (60mm), so I was planning to integrate the new gpu into that loop. I'm currently planning to get another 240 ek rad (please tell me if this is too much) and now I am asking myself, if dual pumps in parallel or series are worth it.

    Wouldn’t a MacBook Air be good for CS? 

    I mean yea, but I want to do all my hand writing on that machine and because calculations are quite hard to do in word its a 2 in 1 I‘m after. But I have already spent my money, because I‘ve found a great easter deal on a zenbook flip 15 :)

    Can you give examples?

    I think linus did a video on a fully passive cooled pc once or twice, most of the time ces tho. For a cooling loop, I use an ek 360 thicc rad and corsair ml fans (wouldn‘t reccomend buying because of the horrendous price, just for rgb rad fans ;)) and my 9900k @5Ghz runs warm, but not hot for a 9900k plus its not really loud. I use an open case btw, so adding a sound dampening case might do the trick for an aircooled system :)

    Hey there,

    I've been looking for a 2 in 1 laptop for quite some time now. I am a computer science student and had way too much paper to carry around aside a laptop, so I decided to get a surface pro, problem is: it's quite expensive for the hardware so I had a look at the surface book, because I'm looking for some light gaming on the go, but definitely more than intel uhd 620 graphics...

    What I've narrowed down is the surface book for a heck ton of money, the ho spectre x360 or asus zenbook flip 15 UX563FD-EZ043T (1050 max-q, i7-10510U 1080p) all I basically want is a 2 in 1 with slightly better than acceptable pencil support for a reasonable price and I really don't need 4k on 15 inch...
