Hi guys! I pretty much have this setup and followed this guide, thank you very much
I have a question. I made this build following this guide and got everything working, but I changed my RAM speed in BIOS to 3400mhz from 3200mhz (they are 3200 natively). After I set that and restarted, my computer got stuck on POST screen, and I couldn't boot into BIOS. I then tried restarting again, and now there is not even life on my screen, and DRAM orange light is lighted up on the mobo. Fans are running and lights are on, but there doesn't seem to be any reaction to input, no booting, no display. I have even tried with a different GPU.
I have earlier been able to drive up my ram, before this guide to 3600mhz. Is this because I have set config to DOCP? I would guess it's not normal that all my 4 ram chips should be bricked by increasing this by 200mhz? I just find this weird. I have tried moving all the sticks around in all sorts of configurations, one chip at a time, two, in every slot etc. I have tried to reset BIOS by removing CMOS battery and draining the computer for electricity, shorted the pins to reset BIOS as per the mobo manual etc. but there is no difference. The orange light is still on.
Does anyone know what can have happened to my computer? Is it likely that it's only the RAM that is fried, or is it more likely that it is the mobo? I have ordered new RAM chips which hopefully arrive next week, I just find it so weird that all RAM could be broken as I have previously had it run at 3600mhz until I changed my BIOS settings to what is recommended in this guide.
