I7 8700 non K Arctic Freezer Xtreme Z390 Tuf Gaming Pro Corsair 2x8gb C15 3000mhz GTX 1080 When I run stress tests or just game without XMP, my RAM runs at 2133MHz. I get normal CPU temps under load and they are all below 72 degrees. Before the BIOS update, turning on XMP made the PC freeze up. After the latest BIOS update, there is no freezing anymore but my temp goes high from 95 to 100 so I think I have two choices: buy a new cooler or try adjusting my XMP profile to fit the CPU temp. But I don't know how to do it. Any help with adjusting the XMP profile?

Don't knock on my door. Yes, nobody has written back to me yet. But hey... just keep it quiet!

His trouble is the bumping thing. That's pretty obvious. When it comes to your fan, what models do you have out there and how are they set up?

Easy. If someone else bumps into you, that's okay now because the old rule was gone. But don't start doing it again because people are tired of seeing it over and over again. Just don't do it anymore.
