It's technically the correct name for XMP on AMD platforms but only Asus calls it that, anyways, time to reseat ram, check your manual for which slot to use for only single stick, we'll try single stick in whatever slot the manual says to use @marsh parcel

#

I'll check the manual then

marsh parcel Apr 9, 2021, 6:28 PM

#

I reseated the ram and tried both in all slots seperately

#

and slots are a2 and b2

glacial umbra Apr 9, 2021, 6:28 PM

#

ok so I bought a new hard drive and started installing some games on it, is this kinda scratching sound normal or should I be worried?

stoic island Apr 9, 2021, 6:29 PM

#

@marsh parcel I mean having ONLY a single stick installed, looks like the mobo likes slot B2.
After taking a stick out, and having only a stick in B2, reset cmos again before booting.

marsh parcel Apr 9, 2021, 6:29 PM

#

ok i will try that

stoic island Apr 9, 2021, 6:30 PM

#

@marsh parcel and to be clear, reset cmos should be unplug from wall, take battery out, Press the power button a few times to help drain the power, wait a minute or two, and then done

marsh parcel Apr 9, 2021, 6:31 PM

#

ok its unplugged and battery is out. how long do i wait?

#

and ram is only in b2

stoic island Apr 9, 2021, 6:33 PM

a minute or two.

marsh parcel Apr 9, 2021, 6:33 PM

ok. and this is the ram I bought. https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-32gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820232748?Item=N82E16820232748

stoic island Apr 9, 2021, 6:33 PM

#

On boot, this should force the mobo to think it's new ram, and re-train the memory with default settings.

#

The ram should be fine

marsh parcel Apr 9, 2021, 6:34 PM

#

I have a jumper on the mobo. Anything I need to do with it? I tried a screwdriver as the manual states.

#

earlier

stoic island Apr 9, 2021, 6:35 PM

#

There's 2 main ways for reset cmos, battery method (what we're doing now), and the relatively less effective jumper method

marsh parcel Apr 9, 2021, 6:35 PM

#

Ah ok lol

#

alright gonna put it back in and then boot right?

stoic island Apr 9, 2021, 6:36 PM

#

Think of it this way, jumper tells the motherboard to erase settings, battery method just drains the power so whatever settings were stored just gets erased

#

Yea

#

(reset cmos only erases settings stored on the cmos bios chip, it won't erase anything stored on hdd or ssd)

marsh parcel Apr 9, 2021, 6:38 PM

The other RAM stick did nothing. This one (second stick) also does nothing.

#

RGB is on but I don't think that makes a difference.

#

I should also note Ram works in another PC I have for testing and troubleshooting. CPU had bent pins awhile back which I bent back and checked that none were broke or missing. All the parts I preassembled outside the case and the PC booted up fine. That was before I tried to activate XMP.

#

Maybe I will just sell all my parts and be done with it. I have had nothing but issues with this new PC. Somehow I fear my Motherboard is bricked.

Have you updated to the latest BIOS? They contain memory compatibility updates as well

marsh parcel Apr 9, 2021, 7:17 PM

I can't. I can't even get to BIOS. My mobo has a BIOS update button on the I/O. I downloaded the BIOS update onto a flash drive and stuck it in the BIOS USB. Made no difference. It won't update.

muted patio Apr 9, 2021, 7:18 PM

You need to unzip the BIOS file

Then possibly rename the file

#

and move it outside the folder

dont you have to burn the file too or no?

#

like with rufus

muted patio Apr 9, 2021, 7:20 PM

#

No

#

Just unzip

#

and move

#

Also, might be a bad CPU if the DRAM light is on but DRAM is good across a couple motherboards

#

Memory controller is on the CPU, you also mentioned bent pins, one might have actually broken and you missed it

marsh parcel Apr 9, 2021, 7:21 PM

#

DRAM worked on my test PC (this one i'm on)

#

I did a full check of the pins

#

On the last mobo I was able to boot up and whatnot

#

but a lot of the time it wouldn't boot and I would have to remove the ram to get it to boot.

#

That mobo had no led or beeps

#

Well unless my refund goes thru for the last MoBo I am screwed for replacing parts. Let alone the CPU. I won't downgrade.

muted patio Apr 9, 2021, 7:29 PM

#

Downgrade to what, you have a 3600 yeah?

marsh parcel Apr 9, 2021, 7:29 PM

#

Yes and I won't go lower that 3rd gen

muted patio Apr 9, 2021, 7:29 PM

#

I mean, the common denomimator through all of this is the CPU

#

Especially with bent pins, one could be damaged

marsh parcel Apr 9, 2021, 7:31 PM

#

True. I am still waiting on Newegg to receive the mobo, check that all is there, restock it (7-10 business days + $33 fee) and finally send out my refund.

#

IF I get it I can buy another 3600

#

Well I might hop back on here in due time to give an update. Hopefully find a way to replace my CPU. If that doesn't help then I will just throw in the towel. Might be able to get $1000 for a 2070 right LMAO.

nothing particularly stands out, other than expecting to get a $1100 card for $750 is not likely @junior crescent

Buy all the parts you want. Wait for a GPU.

brave coral Apr 9, 2021, 11:30 PM

I’m only spending 3k to 4K

#

Ok

You ain't getting one for awhile unless you get lucky on the shuffle or whatnot

fossil cedar Apr 9, 2021, 11:30 PM

marsh parcel Buy all the parts you want. Wait for a GPU.

Buy gpu and cpu first you mean i hope

marsh parcel Apr 9, 2021, 11:31 PM

#

IF you want a GPU now then double your budget

rich helm Apr 9, 2021, 11:31 PM

#

marsh parcel You ain't getting one for awhile unless you get lucky on the shuffle or whatnot

I mean if they got 5k… scalpers exist

fossil cedar Apr 9, 2021, 11:31 PM

#

marsh parcel IF you want a GPU now then double your budget

That's not true they'll be able to get a 3080 for less than 1.2k from shuffle or something

I want to do water cool but since it’s my first build I’m not gonna risk frying my shit

brave coral I want to do water cool but since it’s my first build I’m not gonna risk frying ...

The aio you have wull do you nicely

brave coral Apr 9, 2021, 11:32 PM

Because I got told water cooled means more performance

Those are not going to fit lol

Ultra wides are much bigger than you think

fossil cedar Apr 9, 2021, 11:41 PM

no way are they fitting on that desk

rich helm Apr 9, 2021, 11:41 PM

No way the two side monitors will fit

fossil cedar Apr 9, 2021, 11:41 PM

ultra wide means v wide like size of 2 monitors

That desk is thicker than you think

And you’ll have to wall mount both ultra wides lol

brave coral Apr 9, 2021, 11:42 PM

Do you want a side picture

rich helm Apr 9, 2021, 11:42 PM

#

brave coral That desk is thicker than you think

It’s the width not the thickness

fossil cedar Apr 9, 2021, 11:42 PM

#

brave coral That desk is thicker than you think

its the length not thickness that were worried about

rich helm Apr 9, 2021, 11:42 PM

@brave coral here’s my setup with 2 24” on either side and a 27” in the middle

And btw I custom made that desk

#

Y’all like it or nah

brave coral Apr 9, 2021, 11:51 PM

And the self I made

rich helm Apr 9, 2021, 11:52 PM

#

Btw the monitors measure 3.5 feet with my two sides slight angles so with flat probably 4 ft and with ultrawides they are wider than tall so probably 4.5 feet at least

#

@brave coral

#

So measure out 5 feet to be safe on your wall and make sure the monitors will fit

rich helm Apr 9, 2021, 11:58 PM

winged lion I’ve only ever seen one good-looking soft loop

If you cut the tubes to a shorter length so it isn’t just dangling then it can look decent

winged lion Apr 9, 2021, 11:58 PM

When I first booted all parts were out of the case except for the PSU. No foreseeable problems. I turned off, disconnected everything, assembled in case, and booted just fine. Once I went to bios after shutting down, I turned on XMP. It warned me about optimal performance timing or something. I saved and exited. Then it froze in bios. SInce then no POST.

Ehh not sure unfortunately, you can try going back to b350 and see if it works there but if you already had to bent pins back, you gotta be v careful then because they can bend more easy

might be interested in the 5700G if it exhibits the same mem overclocking benefits as the 4700G

I hope there's a cheaper variant once it's standard

#

Like an "f" series or sumthin

#

That's a bit cheaper

#

but i want the option to have a high end ryzen cpu with integrated graphics

#

kind of a hole that amd is not filling right now

#

it's not a big deal to slap a basic gpu in there but igpu is just really convenient

#

TBF most people with a high-end CPU are not using an iGPU

#

Mhmm

#

Still would be nice

#

For troubleshooting and such

earnest olive Apr 10, 2021, 4:58 AM

#

amd currently only offers 4 cores with igpu unless you go to like aliexpress and get an oem 4000g lol

Lol

#

Or you go mobile

#

That works too
