Just completed a new build - including new ram , motherboard & cpu cooler.
The cooler is a sealed water cooling unit made by the company who make the corsair h60.
All installed ok but the cpu cooler pump is unacceptably noisy !!
Decided to unistall the cooler and re-install the old eco alc unit which I had been using which was becoming a little noisier than it used to be but was still a hell of a lot quieter than the new unit.
Re-fitting did prove a little problematical as to get the backplate on I had to remove 6 of the motherboard screws so that I could slide the backplate in (the nzst phantom case cpu hole is offset from the place where the cpu/backplate actually fits) but all appeared to go well.
Booted to find that although the cpu cooler was nice & quiet again the light indicating ram problems was now running permanently red i.e. ram failure!
Tried swapping slots.- no joy
Tried different memory sticks.- no joy (am now on second comp. using the memory which failed on the new machine!)
Will dismantle & re-assemble one last time tomorrow but am becoming convinced that the ram slots / motherboard is shot
Any suggestions?
The new ram is crucial ballistic and it was working fine before I had to replace the cooler.
The motherboard is an Asus P8Z68-V Pro Gen 3
