    Total Ram in Bios not matching in system.

    Thanks for the help. I upgraded the Bios and the 3800x chip worked and the memory 'reservation' went away in both Windows and Linux. I wasn't able to keep the board stable with the 3800x (nor always post) so I purchased a used b450 board and things are rocking now. Thanks

    Motherboard powers ON soon as I turn on the PSU and it Powers OFF after 4 secs.

    What are you using for your CPU cooling? I have had the issue with an older Intel system that if the CPU cooling wasn't seated correctly the system would shut down in about 4 to 6 secs. Try reseating & ensure your thermal compound is on in the centre and hasn't spread to other areas :i.e...

    How tall is the wire PC rack? 54 Inches? Thinking about that for my setup, but need to hold 2 PC's, 21 inches high and the other 17 inches, and using your image as a basis it looks like they would fit. Thanks

    Favorite Recent Case ?

    I have purchased a few as of late, and probably my favorite is still the Corsair 500R case. I would go with the Corsair 850D for a full tower choice. I was greatly disappointed with a Bitfenix Ghost I recently got on sale (thank goodness for that)

    Old PC Build - CPU LED - No Boot

    Good luck, let me know how it goes. Mine has resolved, but the CPU temp hovers around 84c which is extremely high. I have tried 3 different CPU Coolers (Intel Stock, Zalman, and Arctic cooling 11 plus) and the CPU still runs extremely warm. 64 to 84 c. At least it boots. Problem...

    Old PC Build - CPU LED - No Boot

    Thanks. I pulled it out. Still didn't boot. Was about to pull the CPU out and try to boot when I notice that even for 2 to 3 seconds the CPU was extremely hot to the touch. I found a space Arctic Cooler for LGA775 installed it... and voila it booted! Now I have a new issue, despite the...

    Old PC Build - CPU LED - No Boot

    No, I guess it can't hurt. Thinking it may be a short causing this through some contact point on the case?

    Disappointed with my new build...

    Good thought. What are your settings in something like Crysis 2? Run FRAPS and see what kind of frames you are getting. All your RAM is visible in windows right (CPU-Z will tell you that)? Something is really odd to not see the performance boost you should with the build differences.
