Swap sticks. Then we know if it’s the board or the RAM.

swap ram sticks and use A2 with the ram that booted with B2 - if this works then it's a ram problemWorks fine with A2 removed.

oh yes, i remember the good old TR SA. horror stories lol*I would steralise it first as it still has most of my DNA soaked in it (blood - i mean blood).
short term gain for long term gainIt’s genuinely a superb cooler, I personally wouldn’t have recommended it for a newbie, but sometimes jumping in the deep end is the best way forward![]()
i know that feeling lol.If it’s any consolation, it’s not the worst situation; try fitting a cpu block, gpu block, 360 rad, 240 rad, reservoir, pump, drain, five disks and three PCI-E cards into a Meshify C. Every time I have to change something a wave of depression washes over me![]()
checking for bent pins on the board and possibly overtightened the cooler? not got that far yet lol :XThere is another thing to look for but @tamzzy will have to cover his eyes and stick his fingers in his ears and start singing lah, lah, lah, lah...
I can't help but notice you looked.checking for bent pins on the board and possibly overtightened the cooler? not got that far yet lol :X
yes. the cooler is big enough to run it passive at low cpu loadsWould it be ok to do these quick tests with the front CPU fan off? I can still plug it in.
took a sneak peekI can't help but notice you looked.

Yay, see above - probably making a poor connection on initial contact. It's not unusual - but keep a weary eye on it if you begin to have stability issues.Had another quick go in A2 and now working! We have 16GB of Ram![]()
