Hi Folks,

I've just upgraded my mobo (MSI Z490 Carbon Wifi), processor (intel i7 10700K), cooler (Dark Rock Pro 4) and had it working with my existing G.Skill Ripjaw DDR4 2400Hz.

Ordered T-Force DDR4 Xtreem 3600MHz F10D48G3600HC18JBK and installed.
Sits on black screen - no entry to Bios or Windows.

Returned to older RAM and enabled XMP then tried new RAM again.

It's been suggested on another forum that the RAM training can take some time but not so sure about that Q1) how long should it take?

Am going to return the T-Force but will need an alternative.
Q2a) Was thinking of HyperX Predator 3600MHz C17 - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/king...l-channel-kit-hx436c17pb4k2-16-my-28e-ks.html
Will this be ok?


Q2b) Anyone know if the height of this option is larger than the RipJaws (which only just sit beneath the cooler)?
Answer: Ripjaws appear to be 42mm with HyperX 42.2mm. T-Force appear to be 49mm which is why I have a tight fit under the new cooler!


Thanks in advance!
