New Build for 2023

No tweaks either. MS OOBE.

Sorry to hear about the RAM.

Seems like I managed to resolve the RAM issue reseating them.

I’m still tweaking a few bios settings to get optimal performance out of the system - and realised my fans were running on DC instead of PWN so were much louder than desired.

Plan at the moment is to swap out some of the Corsair fans for quieter Noctua fans, and add the full number the case can support.

Will likely want to add more storage at some point as well - got quite a few M.2 slots available for use.

As Hannibal Smith said on The A Team, " I love it when a plan comes together".

I ain't quite out of the woods with errors yet - but it's been a fun experience.

The most concerning one was when the motherboard was trying to read a boot device that wasn't there (afaik), so the only thing that loaded was a blank screen and _ cursor. That one persisted for a couple of restarts, and then I figured both the PC and me could do with some sleep - tried again the next day and everything worked.

Fanspeed is about half the RPM it was before - although the system is still louder than I'd ideally like.

I'll create some new threads to deal with the Sleep / Startup problems I'm occasionally getting.

I finally reached out to MSI about some of the issues I've been experiencing with the motherboard and they want to RMA the board...

Can't say I particularly want to take the whole thing apart and send it off for a few weeks, but I probably should go through with it.

Too bad they don't do like some car dealers and give you a loaner while they're fixing yours.
