Just installed second 8gb stick so I should have 16gb Ram now

Dang only 2 slot capacity? Or is there a second set on the other side of the cpu?

Only two slot which is something I didn’t think to realize until after I purchased. It’s a small board. 16 is all I need though

Matx/mini itx?

Idk it is a pre built and I don’t really know the sizes

Nice looking ram tho

HyperX Fury DDR4 RGB

I recently put in new ram too but it was a pain in the ass because it blocked my water cooler power plug

I got a water cooler for my CPU today as well but I’m not messing with installing it today

NZXT Kraken 120mm AIO

I think that's the one I have

I know it's 120mm

Yep same one

Works well and you can set the colors on the CPU cooler to change depending on temp of the GPU and cpu

I think I need to buy thermal paste for it

That’s cool

I believe it comes with some already pre installed but I usually wipe it off and put artic mx5 down

I've heard the stock paste factories use are not the best

Yeah I’ll probably order some off of Newegg or something if I need too

Same

Yeah i have my CPU oc'd to 5ghz and no problems with the cooler. It never goes red warning me cpu is too hot so I'm happy with it

Oh this is interesting

RAM is supposed to be 3200 but it’s reading at 2400

I’ll have to figure out how to change that

Almost always in the bios but you should also check what speed your motherboard supports

It supports 3200 that’s what it was before

Hmm weird... Double check the newest ram you put in

If it's a slower speed the motherboard usually throttles down all ram to match the lowest speed installed

So I did some digging, it’s an HP Omen 30L, apparently you can’t get higher speed than 2400 on their Gaming prebuilts unless you buy it directly from HP (even though it’s HyperX RAM). Aka HP won’t let you upgrade it unless you give them your money instead of HyperX which I won’t be doing because that’s just retarded. Guess I’ll live with 2400

Wtf

I'd be pissed

But id get over it relatively quick lol realistically you won't notice a difference

That’s why I’m not dealing with that bs. I just do casual gaming and a bit of streaming to my discord server so it’s really not extremely important to me. It is bs though

@DrewDaPilot Theoretically I see no problem with your 1800X, and your GPU solution depends on how hard you plan to push it

ye

well I need two gpus

one for windows and one for linux

the windows one tho, 1440p, preferably high settings

the linux one can just be some $30 garbage amd card

I can sell my 1050ti for around $400 if I package it with my old pc, and then I already have like $500 so I have money
