No probs, if you do have issues , ocuk RMA is normally ace but you know you've got Gigabyte rep support to add that extra layer

was too tight thats why had to go at front, might look at 360mm be quiet in 6 months time and also change top 2 fans to 140mm ones

the 280 version is pretty good to, cant remember in that case if going 360 at the front means you have to remove the HDD cage, but then again you might not be using it

wingboost , you can daisy chain the fans together and run them all PWM - handy feature , although helps if they all have same RPM range, 140 might spin slower or faster depending which is lead .

i think with specs i built now always better going for better option, learned that the hard way

silent wings are epic and do make some great rad fans due to high static value , but thats about £100 on fans haha
have 7 in one of mine haha

Hey can anyone give me a quick TL;DR run down on the problems with the ASUS B350F.

I have a friend over in Holland with one and for love nor money we can't get his RAM to run at anything over stock speeds. Could it be the mobo?

my problems was with it booting up, fans and lights would be on, but no boot, then a few hours later it might boot but then on shut down the fans was still spinning.

has he adjust the docp in his bios settings so he can set his ram speeds at all ?

Well I have to communicate over Skype and he's not fantastic at this side of things.

But we got his CPU set to all cores at 3.6 for the time being, that's on stock cooler and in the same Phanteks case. But it's in a closed cupboard so it's choked for air and that seemed to be as quick as we could get it without it getting too warm.

For his RAM we tried to change the voltage to 1.25v iirc and manually dial in the timings but that wouldn't boot. We updated the BIOS and it only gave 1 DOCP option which was, funnily enough, 3200MHz which is what he has (G.Skill Trident Z). But setting it to DOCP in the BIOS would not boot at stock CPU or overclocked, so for now he has abandoned overclocking his RAM
