Yeah, slot 2+4 still crashed unfortunately. Guess I need to start reviewing doing the settings myself outside the XMP profile as suggested, was hoping that would be it. Any recommendations where exactly to start? Running now at 'default' which is 2666MHz

I moved from slots 1+3 to 2+4, I am yet to crash so hopeful. I did notice in the XMP profile via BIOS when I moved slots... in 1+3 it was showing 1.39v, but now in 2+4 it is showing 1.35v for the 3600MHz (same as last night). This is kinda interesting to me, and wondering if there's any thoughts on why that is? Going to proceed to stress it and will post results. Not to mention, found this today via GIGABYTE, to which they state "Install the modules into DDR4_A2, DDR4_B2 for better compatibility."

I am only running 2 sticks, do you think it can be the 1+3 slot v. 2+4? I don't really understand what you said to do above (apologies, never OC before.. really just hoping to get the advertised speed haha) I am currently running at 2666MHz stable

Thanks, hopefully someone can shine some light what is wrong -- appreciate your input! I'm really curious on the Slot 1&3 v. 2&4 'issue' some have explained. A bit over my head.

Ahh ok, not too familiar with hardware... just do software stuff Thanks for letting me know

I'll be honest, I'm not 'too' sure how to only go to 3200. Do I need to adjust the voltage/timings in that case? I was just using Profile 1 of XMP. Also, do you know anything about the topology being better / able to run on 2&4 instead of 1&3? Saw that on a few recommendations on reddit and some threads, but wanted someone with more hardware experience than I to comment on it first.

I just upgraded my ram to Corsair VENGEANCE RGB PRO 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 3600 , from Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3000MHz, and already had: the motherboard GIGABYTE Z390 AORUS PRO and an i7-9700k. Specifics: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/tjbalon/saved/Mpc7TW

Hello, I just upgraded my ram to Corsair VENGEANCE RGB PRO 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 3600 , from Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3000MHz, and already had: the motherboard GIGABYTE Z390 AORUS PRO and an i7-9700k. Upon upgrading it, I booted into the BIOS, selected 'Profile 1' XMP which was at 3600MHz, and launched my PC. I was able to load a few applications, launch a game, play through a raid (EFT), and then everything froze (all images were completely still, computer sounded like fans were churning, headset/keyboard/mouse disconnected). Rebooted, did the same thing.. crashed again. Swapped out to my previous kit (16gb @3000MHz using XMP), things seemed to run fine.. ran a few raids, opened a bunch of applications to 'stress' it. Was unable to get it to go down. Swapped back to the new 32GB kit, thought maybe it was an issue with how I sat the ram... same issue crashing (this time it lasted longer, but I think the duration is irrelevant). Now I am down to 2666MHz, which seems to be stable (have not done enough strenuous to guarantee that). Searching around, saw some information that it could be an issue that I am using slots 1 & 3, instead of 2 & 4? Also saw some information that it might be that my motherboard (according to amazon) only supports up to 2133MHz. I tried to find information regarding this via the manual. Only saw this: Channel A: DDR4_A1, DDR4_A2 Channel B: DDR4_B1, DDR4_B2 This makes me think they are suggesting the channel(s) are slot 1&2, 3&4, but I am pretty confident I am just understanding that wrong. I'd really like to benefit from the full 3600MHz. The BIOS said it was 3600MHz @ 1.39v via the XMP profile. Nothing else is OC on the system, not very familiar with OCing at all.

For anyone wondering, it with the PSU. I somehow managed to pull two bad Corsair CX-M750w PSUs in a row from best buy.

UPS did not work, back to square one again.

It seemed to hold up last night, going to have to try a bit more today. Bought a 600w APC/UPS on Amazon to replace the 250w cyberpower one that I have.

It is definitely seated right. It appears the entire upstairs main room, plus bathroom is on one single 15A circuit in my house. I am going to run an extension cord to an APC UPS from the next room over, and test it and see.

Going to throw it in the battery backup to "clean the power" as they do in datacenters.

Where would the short be would you think? And why would it only be in SOME games when a lot of power draw is going on upstairs? I was careful to ensure the MOBO is on the stands, nothing is just touching the case that it shouldn't be. Worth noting, I do have a 450VA/260W Battery Backup sitting here that I could plug in, though I'm not sure how these work. Obviously the wattage is way below my spec, but I was wondering if it's that for a short second I'm not getting enough power from the house if it will try to fill in the missing power. No idea how these things actually work.

CPU is average 30-40c at Idle. In a game around 55c at max. GPU is 35-45c at idle. In a game I've never seen it go above 60c. MOBO is sitting at about 28c, constantly according to BIOS, and HWMonitor.
