All the Qconnectors are the same...same pin-out on all MBs.

Here's a diagram...

General rule of thumb...connect connectors with writing side down and they'll be right orientation +/-...

Exactly that....boot time has almost nothing to do with your drive specs.

It depends much more on platform...RAM density...training...driver initializations...windows fast startup setting...etc etc

Boot time is almost entirely unaffected by your boot drive...

Yeah...looks the same thing to me...should be fine

If you are careful, there should be no need to replace the thermal pad.

If something goes wrong......

If I were you I'd download a fresh copy of the previous BIOS...1401...use BIOS flashback method to flash that and not bother with later BIOS

Get something like a GT710

Try manual 1.36v LLC4

Adaptive uses VID and your offset will add voltage to an already high vid

Page 1-12 of the manual has all you need to know to make a decision...the info there is more pertinent to making a choice than temps....temps should not be an issue anywhere with adequate cooling

1.5 is kind of the limit....tune SA and IO volts for stability too....maybe less VDIMM needed if you tune those rails. However for 24/7 use running any frequency or timings that need that voltage is...

4.2 all core usually gives semi decent temps on AIO...but really for most things they are better left at stock with PBO settings maxed out and the CPU will cycle the cores at higher boost speeds.

Cheers for the heads up...

No real performance boost that I can see....yet

Yeah that bloke is a looney :o

Anyway...someone else to listen to

Dont

Do you have the slow mode switch on? Strange power plan settings?

The CPU will throttle if it is too hot. And you have a small amount of thermal capacity in the block and water will move by convection slightly....so....all in all you should be OK if it was a short...

Just to add...t topology boards with 4 slots often run best with 4 sticks...4x8 instead of 2x16

In Boot settings menu there is a delay timer in seconds...often set to 3 seconds default....change that to 0?

Try 1.36v for vcore at LLC5 for 5.1GHz and try 1.05v VCCIO and 1.1v VCCSA for the RAM.....you can also try....say....1.365v vor DRAM voltage

Make sure long and short duration power package limit...

Are there any updates on timeframe for this fix?

Thanks

Yes perfectly normal...as long as it doesn't hang there for long ;)

RealBench and Karhu RAMTest will reach the parts other stress tests cannot reach...and quicker, without current degrading your CPU

Just use BIOS flashback method to 1402....1502 has many RAM kit problems...

AFAIK this is a known issue with armoury crate and is waiting a fix in the new version which is supposed to drop "soon"
