Hey folks, posting after a few infuriating hours trying to get my new build to work.
I used a GIGABYTE Z97X-Gaming 3 and an i7 4790, and when i fit the noctua NHU cooler, it just goes into a constant boot loop if the memory is in dual channel mode, however It will boot up when its not in dual channel
I tried it with the hyper 212 I had lying about, and same thing, it will not boot in dual channel, and it will boot using two none dual channel slots.
It will boot with just one stick in any one of the other slots, just not dual channel.
As a last resort I put the stock cooler in and all of a sudden everything is fine, boots up and runs fine.
This morning I had another crack at it.
I tried using the CPU-OPT and there was no difference.
I also tried using one fan in each, FAN and OPT, but to no avail.
Then I tried using the low noise fan adapters on both fans and using the splitter to plug them into in the CPU-FAN, which it worked with for ten or so minutes before I got blue screen.
I then applied the ultra low noise adapters, plugged them in the same way as above and it seems to boot up and stay stable fine for a while, but still eventually I get blue screen every now and then.
Anyone got ideas what this could be ?
I have never had a problem like this before especially with such expensive hardware.
any help would be appreciated.
