Boot issue, faulty memory?
- Thread starter famas
- Start date
So, the manual doesn't show a CMOS battery on the layout diagram at all, I was expecting to see a coin type battery, like on old motherboards.
It does however mention the CMOS battery later on in the manual?
So, after some googling, I think I've found it, seems it's not directly attached to the board but rather in a little plastic pouch stuck to the back of the Nichicon audio IO.

Yeah, ITX boards do that because of space restraints. Mine has that too and it's really hard to get to as it's shoved into the rear panel cover.

I'll see if I can access mine easily, if the GPU is in the way I've got to completely dismantle the case and water blocks to remove it, which tbh I can't be arsed to do
I feel a new air cooled pc on the way

Watercooling on an ITX rig is such a pain. I run air cooling and even that makes maintenance a pain.Learn something new everyday.

Half of my hard drives are hanging out and not actually in the chassis. I'd consider watercooling a GPU by itself with ITX but even that's not really an amazing idea.
Yeah I had a lot of fun building it and they look great, but I'm done with water cooling for now.
It's great all the while it's working but I don't have the time for maintenance anymore.
Like you say it's a ball ache even trying to do something simple in an itx case.

This gives me flash backs of when i had my 1800x. Are you sure the memory was running stable at 3200 ? If so you are one of the lucky few from what i can remember.
I could never get my 1800x stable over 2666 and even that was a bit flakey at times. From my limited understanding the 3 boots then restarts is the bios trying to run the memory at a speed that is unstable to boot, the 4th which goes into boot is when it just gives up and resets the memory so it will allow a boot.

I remember stress testing it with a few programmes when it was new as I have a slight CPU over clock too, I forget now what they were, maybe cinebench, memtest and Nvidia bench mark, so long ago I forget.
It was stable with all of those, and I've never had an issue with it in 6/7 years until now, though it's only been used as a gaming/vr rig.
I've started doing some video editing recently and it's starting to show it's age now, but it's done me well, it's a unique looking build but maybe time for an upgrade.
