    ASUS Z270-AR: DIMM Slots B1+B2 Nonfunctional after CPU cooler upgrade

    Thanks for the advice, all. I just took it apart again and inspected the CPU contacts once more while shining a bright light into the socket. Again, I couldn't see any pins out of alignment - if there are any bent pins, they're inperceivable to the naked eye. As far as I could tell, the tips of...

    ASUS Z270-AR: DIMM Slots B1+B2 Nonfunctional after CPU cooler upgrade

    Possibly. However, when mounting the cooler, I was mindful to alternate between the screws to apply even pressure all across. I also made sure not to overtighten it. I went ahead and checked the pins again and took pictures this time (attached). Hopefully that helps. The pins looks fine as far...

    ASUS Z270-AR: DIMM Slots B1+B2 Nonfunctional after CPU cooler upgrade

    Hi all, I have a bit of a problem with my motherboard's DIMM slots that I'm hoping you can help me get to the bottom of. I recently installed a new CPU cooler (Noctua NH-D9L). Since installing it, DIMM slots B1 and B2 on my motherboard (ASUS Z270-AR) are causing POST failures. The system boots...

    Broken Image Scaling in Catalyst 12.10

    Hey guys, I solved the problem! I'm posting the fix here so hopefully other people with the same problem will find it. Thanks for helping out. ------------------------------------------------------------- First of all, make sure GPU scaling is enabled in the AMD control centre. Go into the...

    Broken Image Scaling in Catalyst 12.10

    Ridiculous. It's still a bug in the software, as far as I'm concerned. There's no way the people at AMD think that stretching and distorting the picture is preferable to viewing it in its original form. If that is the case, then I'll be switching to NVIDIA next time I upgrade. If anyone can...

    Broken Image Scaling in Catalyst 12.10

    Thanks for the responses. I don't understand this. So every time I want to play a non-16:9 game, AMD expects me to lower my desktop resolution, change the scaling options, and then change the resolution back when I'm done playing it? - just so I can see the game the way it was meant to be...

    Broken Image Scaling in Catalyst 12.10

    I haven't. I looked it up and it looks like it hasn't been updated in some time...so I'm not sure if it will be the ideal fix. Besides, I'd rather not have to run an entirely separate set of software just to fix a bug in another set of software. Just to clarify, here is a screenshot of the...

    Broken Image Scaling in Catalyst 12.10

    Hi all, After recently acquiring one of these and upgrading my drivers to Catalyst 12.10, I hoped that they had fixed the greyed-out GPU Scaling options (under My Digital Flat Panels > Properties). But it seems they have no intention of ever fixing it! :confused: I like to run my older games...
