If you don't mind my asking but are you using ip cameras? if you are cant they detect motion on their own? also can they upload video to a network destination? I only ask all of this because i am setting up a system right now with ip cams that detect motion and store on a sd card or upload. I am then going to upload it to a freenas server. looking into running an interface for it within freenas. Just a thought. I was in the same boat with my old comp, it would run window 10 but it is stupid slow and over burdened. So i went with the free option of freenas.

On my new asrock x570 extreme4 the red led just means what stage of boot it is at, i went gunghoe and put both sticks of memory and plugged in two monitors and it didnt like it at all switched to one memory stick and one monitor then it would post, after first post it has been fine with both sticks. had the same thing happen with an x470 that i built for a friend.. not sure why but it seems to work.

I have to disagree i found a couple different post regarding hoses top or bottom i found the following, i know it is a different cooler but principle should be the same Not sure if i am allowed to link to out side pages but these quotes seem to fall into the same thought process as what i was saying. there were many more btw

I installed corsairs rgb memory and h100i cooler now i want more rgb lol

Honestly, i am just starting to dip my toes in water cooling, but from other experiences fish tanks and automotive work both hoses at the top are generally a no no. I just put one of these in my desktop build too. Since these have no reservoir and if the unit was low on coolant i could see it sucking air and not cooling properly with both hoses on top. If there was air in their due to insulating properties of air i could see the temp of the cooler showing much lower. At least its the only theory i got.

Just a thought, turn the whole computer upside down and run it, or take the radiator off and make sure the hoses are lower then the rest of the unit. I wonder if the hoses being at the top are not drawing water like maybe not a full charge of water.

I would agree with this, best thing about my new case it has a very fine mesh over all of my intake fans and that has helped immensely, i thought of adding actual hvac filters of some sort but never did it.

Last ditch idea but have you tried a powered usb hub? if it is dying maybe it cant provide enough power for the device?

I just got done with my build, a lot of people were recommending not going over 3600, i ended up with 3466 corsair and so far great memory but the xmp did not run well on mine setup had to manually tune instead.

I would have to agree. If you really want positive pressure you have to pump more air in then out. But i generally go with the aim of cold air in hot air out, meaning if there is a fan near something making heat, like cpu i aim it to exhaust that heat. But some times it makes more sense to blow cool air at things for example, in one case i had the fan that was on the side that was aimed perfectly at the memory i had it blowing air straight at the memory vs pulling the hot air out and that dropped memory temps a decent amount. But in my experience not matter what you do, positive pressure or not you still need to clean the case unless you have it sitting in a clean room.

So, still doing stress testing but i think i found the source to all of the problems. It seems as though it was related to the memory itself. i used Taiphoon burner and the amd memory calculator to come up with some base line settings. While comparing these settings to the xmp setting i found the main settings to be about the same, the calculator had a couple of the main timings 1 step looser and a couple a little tighter. But the main difference was the voltage, xmp was setting dram at 1.35 and the calculator said minimum of 1.41. I started by setting the bios to default, then for giggles i loaded the xmp profile only with out setting the ram speed. Upon doing this my computer failed to boot 3 times and reverted to base settings. So i had narrowed down my culprit. With the bios set to base settings i set the memory speed to 3466 and went back into the bios. This time it had booted fine but the timings that auto had picked out were way out in left field. 24-24-24-24-54 if i remember right. So next thing i did was to turn up the dram voltage 1 set it at 1.41 and rebooted. This time auto had dropped the timing by a bit, Still not were i thought they should be. I started setting each setting to match what the calculator had, which by the end the main settings were 16-16-18-19-38 with 1t no gear down. So far everything seems to be stable, i ran memset three times no errors found. I can now slam f2 or del during boot with no problems and i purposely set the computer to sleep every 5 mins and so far it goes to sleep and wakes up with no problems. Also bench marks are showing good signs of improvement based on taking the time to tune the memory rather then just loading the xmp setting. Long story short the memory i bought i know doesn't mention say "amd compatible" like some other memory has, so i have a feeling the xmp setting would have worked by themselves maybe if i had just turned up the dram voltage. So we will see, im into it this far might just see if i can over clock the memory and push for 3600. They are micron b die chips so not sure if i am getting greedy or not but figured worth a shot. Also being that the corsair rgb memory i can use the corsair icue software and set the rgbs to reflect temps i can keep an eye on them with out having to monitor them with an app running all the time. So we will see. On a side note, When making changes to the timings manually i noticed longer boot times on the first boot after making the change. But if i just let it boot with out making changes it would be in short order, am i right in assuming that is the bios going thru all the auto settings and finding new appropriate settings?

Random idea but have you tired pairing down the system to just your ssd, key board and mouse. I had a external hdd and a dvd drive that when plugged in would make my computer take a while to boot, even longer if there was something in the drive like it was checking to make sure there was no bootable material even though it should default to my main drive. Just a thought

I will do some trouble shooting when i get home. I did go straight from 1.10 to 1.90 so worth a shot rolling back one step if i cant get anything else to work right. and try again. I have ran a couple different tests against it and it seemed to be fine, also played battlefield v for a while and seemed to be stable as well. What memory test would you guys recommend, i was thinking of using memtest86, thoughts?

i will check that, My previous board was an asrock as well it had a lot of the settings turned on by default that i would think should be turned on, but this one has had some turned off. Worth a check.

Hey all just got done building a new system, running into some issues with the build. First specs. ryzen 3700x Asrock x570 extreme4 corsair dominator platinum rgb 32gb ddr4-3466mhz samsung evo 970 1tb nvme h100i aio running windows 10 I have updated the bios on the board to 1.90. I know i need to do some more trouble shooting but i am not where i should be looking. So right now the two issues that i am having is going into uefi/bios if i hit del of f2 repeatedly it will lock up but if i wait for it and hit it once or twice it will load fine... am i crazy or is this odd behavior? Second it has done it twice so far but when the computer goes into sleep mode it stays powered but the usb bus shuts off so no wake from keyboard and the power button will not do anything either. So far i haven done much except load the xmp profile but most other things are still set auto. i am thinking of resetting the bios and truly tuning the memory. It seems like it might be a memory stability issue. Or is there something else i am missing? Side note this is a beast compared to my old computer, but i will say asrocks manual for their bios sucks, a lot of the description are literally "this option turns _____ on or off". Not helpful. There are quite a few more options now then i had on my previous 3570k. Good thing for google.
