Hey everyone, I'm having an issue with my motherboard. My specs are: CPU x5650 @ 4.0GHz, cooler noctua u12s, RAM 14GB DDR3 at 1600MHz (two 4GB modules), motherboard ASUS Rampage III Formula, GPU GTX 1060, PSU Corsair TX 750. The problem started yesterday while gaming—it just shut down without error messages, but then the RAM slots stopped working. Two slots failed completely, and after cleaning with a blower, the PC only worked in single-channel mode and was unstable. I tried using my old CPU i7-920, thinking it might be an issue with the IMC, but it's the same problem. It seems like the cooler might have been too tight. After about a year of use, could there be a fix? Should I consider replacing the motherboard or looking into a newer one? I'm not sure how snug the pins should be, and I didn't notice any bends or damage. Please share any photos if you can.

It might have overheated, or perhaps the pain vanished.

It appears to be shared exclusively in one channel with inconsistent performance.

Probably you didn’t damage the old trce paths during the cleanup and reinstall of the RAM, even though it’s unlikely I’ve deleted a channel on a few boards back when they were outdated (like the mobo is now).

I also had an x58 before, it worked with 6 slots but only 5 were usable. The motherboard had bent pins that couldn't be repaired.
