  1. Yes, I tried manually changing the speeds. I used the DRAM calculator and used the 'SAFE' timings and went beyond 1.35 with the DRAM voltage but it still doesn't post. With one stick of 8GB installed, I used the XMP profiles of 3200 MHz and it ran. Didn't even have to bump the voltage, which confuses me further. If the higher speeds weren't supported, then why does 1 stick get them? And what's with the 8.1 GB being reserved? I checked the QVL and this kit is listed under 2400 MHz but I read that doesn't matter since not every combination can be tested? My guess would be that either the BIOS doesn't support dual-channel at higher speeds for this kit or Windows is the problem.
  2. So, I recently bought components for my Ryzen build and noticed that more than half the memory (8.1 GB) has been hardware reserved. I Googled and saw that it was a common problem and there were a few recommended fixes including checking maximum memory limit using MSConfig. There were a few people who said they switched the RAM Modules around on the Mobo a few times and it worked, which I've tried several times but with no luck. Some said it could be the x32 OS but my Windows is x64 too. Another thing I noticed was my RAM sticks are running at lower speeds at 2400 MHz when they are rated at 3200 MHz. I went to the BIOS and used the XMP profiles and manually overclocked them but it won't POST with those and then I am redirected to the BIOS with the settings restored. My BIOS also reports 8 GB of physical memory but it IS detecting memory in the two slots. I tried overclocking these manually but no matter what I do, it won't POST with anything higher than 2400 MHz. I am now stumped and have no idea what to do. I checked my BIOS and downgraded it too to more than 5 versions and still couldn't get it to work. Interestingly, when I used only the one stick, the XMP profiles run quite smoothly. I tested them both individually and both get the advertised speeds. It's when I run them in dual-channel that I encounter problems. I am not sure if the two problems are correlated are not but please, any help on this would be greatly appreciated. My Specs: CPU: R5 1600 AF @ 4.0 GHz Motherboard: MSI X470 Gaming Pro Memory: T-Force Delta RGB DDR4 16GB (2x8GB) 3200MHz (PC4-25600) CL16 GPU: MSI RX 580 Armor 8G
  3. So the 2 pin molex is for a fan that I will install? And the 4-pin for the current 2 at the front? Or are they both for the two fans already there? Also, is there a way to connect the molex to a fan splitter? (assuming I have one)
  4. Thanks for the reply! But what about the non-molex connector with it? What’s that for?
  5. So, I bought a new case (Cooler Master K500L) and was connecting the front-panel headers when I noticed some connectors that I can't make sense of. These are coming from the front-fans. I've connected the rest but need some help with these. There are 3 connectors left. One of them is a molex that is both male and female and will probably connect to the PSU's molex (my PSU currently doesn't have any molex connectors to connect to). However, there is another cable that has two ends. One is a 4-molex with only 2 pins occupied and the other is a 3-pin male fan header with 2 pins occupied. I did some Googling and found that maybe that 2-pin header is used to connect another fan if I want, but I'm not sure. The fans also have red LEDs so I'm not sure if one of them is for them separately? I don't want my fans running at full-speed which the molex would give me. Is there a way I can connect it to the motherboard? I also have only one fan header on the motherboard, so i might need a fan-splitter. Please help! P.S. This is the first time I have put every component together so forgive me if any of this sounds stupid.
