Does a new computer stop working when I turn on AMD EXPO?
Does a new computer stop working when I turn on AMD EXPO?
So what do I do if my computer runs out of RAM or something breaks? If things go wrong, I just need to get a new one. I hope that's true though, and don't be stupid like everyone else who gives it a try without knowing how to fix their own gear. But what exactly can I do? I've never done this before with my RAM.
This looks exactly like the cable from VRM going into the CPU. It is totally impossible to pull out that long one and swap this out. I can't reach there anymore without taking out the GPU first. But it really looks like I have to take the radiator pump off the board, which was such a pain in the ass to get done. Screw me. I think someone here said the AIO connectors work fine? Here is a question for you: Connecting an Arctic Freezer Liquid Cooler 3 to my motherboard. Hey everyone, I recently bought an Arctic LF3 AIO cooler and this is my first time using one. My PC is a TUF GAMING B550M-PLUS with a Ryzen 5 3600. I didn't know what to pick when setting up the system, so I went with the all-in-one setup by plugging it into the CPU_FAN header on the board... forums.
The RAM you are trying to put in isn't listed here because it doesn't work with this board.
I noticed things could work even if I don't use QVL. Just because you're not using that thing doesn't mean it breaks. I need to see what happens when I try it. Can anyone tell me how to test this or where to look for settings?
This RAM card came with both AMD's EXPO feature and Intel's XMP support built in.
For your CPU fan, you need a cable that plugs into the CPU fan header. Without this cable, your motherboard won't recognize the cooler and will show an error message. AIO coolers always have this cable, and looking at your pictures shows yours has it too. Regarding your RAM, it seems like you are using an XMP Corsair kit, which probably isn't going to work right away on your AMD motherboard or CPU. Once you turn on EXPO, check the RAM voltage. If it says 1.35V, that's not good enough. You need to change it to 1.4V. Also, a CL28 at 6000 MT/s seems really hard for your 9800X3D. You might have to switch to CL30 (which means 30-36-36-72). When you make these changes, wait a bit because the board needs time to learn them. It can take several minutes; just be patient.
