So when you really need to restore an iphone, you copy the backup folder to the original destination again? Because iTunes will not detect it elsewhere.

I have been using it for some time without issues. How do you manually move the backup files? I don't think iTunes will detect it if moved manually to some other location.

Yeah I know. If things were okay, it should have just worked the very first time I installed it (In the black slots) but it didn't, hence this whole thread. I put the mobo serial number in asus support website and it still has two years warranty...

It is no luck. I tried to clean the slots but it didn't help. I also updated the BIOS to the latest version. No Go. The RAM slots are just dead. I'm letting him return the board. Thanks for all the help.

Shouldn't it work with black slots as well? My first thought was that I can install the two sticks in the black slots or in the gray slots to enable dual channel configuration. I find it hard to land on a brand new mobo with more than two slots...

Yes. Okay I can try what you said but I just hate it because again, RAM slots are hard to reach because of the CPU cooler. Was there any visible dirt/dust when you cleaned your slots?

The sticks are fine like I said above. It is the slot that is not working which is even worse because you will have to replace the whole mobo. I firstly installed both sticks in the black slots and it didn't work. Both gray slots also didn't...

That's what I did after it booted with one stick but it failed. Only one gray slot is working. Not sure about the voltage I need to double check but I'm sure I saw 1.2 maybe before I switched to xmp. Anyways this is not related to the issue...

Of course and I thank everybody for their help, but I felt like why would this help? Because it should just work right away. Anyways, the other stick is working. It booted with it installed in the same slot. However, installing both sticks in the...

Thanks bro I'll do that but my understanding is that default settings should already be appropriate to take the RAM without the need to mess with the bios.

Okay I got access to his system today. It was tight but I was able to remove the RAM sticks without removing the cooler. I installed one stick and it worked and everything was fine. I then thought I will install the other stick and try it again...

Excuse me??? Are you promoting some type of software or just trying to hijack my thread?

The cpu checks out okay according to the LED colors, so hopefully nothing is wrong with the cpu installation. I'll update you as soon as I have access to his pc.

Yeah I know. I will try these. Let me have access to his house. I think I will fix it next time. I'm just little worried something is wrong with the RAM sticks or the mobo slots. Thanks for your input. I don't remember in the old days having to...

Really? You mean if it is not optimal or in the same channel it won't work? It should still work I thought. Anyways, I'll check that first thing.

I didn't mean that the sticks are bad. I just meant that the mobo is telling me something is wrong with your RAM installation, go fix it. Maybe it is bad or maybe it is not installed correctly or maybe the slots are bad.

The noctua NH-D15 is huge I'm telling you. I actually meant the cpu cooler. NOT the cpu chip itself. I have to remove it to freely play with the RAM. Do you I have to re-apply thermal paste every time I do it? It is ganna be PITA. Reset the CMOS...

Okay, so I found the answer for my question. https://www.asus.com/us/support/FAQ/1042678/ It looks like the memory is bad and I have to reinstall it. I will have to remove the cpu to do this. What could be wrong I don't know. I mean it is a...

Thanks for your input. I visited him today but I had to leave because I got an urgent call but I was able to at least do something. Regarding the monitor: I switched on the power using the power switch in the rear but it still didn't turn on...

I didn't get what you wanted to say. This is my friend. He bought the parts based on my recommendation, received them and now I'm giving him a favor by putting his parts together as one PC. I visited him yesterday because it fit our schedules...
