      well. . . consumer parts. . . so might as well go with something that is simpler and cheaper.
      If the fan dies on a classic heatsink it can be 4 clips or screws to replace it. Whereas these units, when they go the entire thing needs to be replaced.

      exactly.. its geared to be a pretty consumer item..haha. and heat sink is much cheaper.

        @smartkid808 the thing that is almost certainly the issue is the pump on the coolant you have has died (or there is a clog in the tubes).
        This is stopping or drastically slowing the flow of the coolant to reach the radiator and fans to be cooled.

        Makes since. Something I rather not deal with in the long term since I won't be around.

        That sounds very fatalistic.

          So on the RAM topic, should I even worry about the current 3200 ram being seen as 2133? Would there be any difference in game play if the one I got is seen at the Ryzen max supported 2667? I currently have 32GB in there (again it was built for editing, not gaming, which is why i put 32 and not 16, plus 32 sounded better..lol)

          I probably will not overclock anything this time around.

          The one currently in the system is Corsair CMU32GX4M4C3200C16B

          The 2 options I bought where
          Corsair CMR32GX4M4C3200C16W
          and
          G.Skill TridentZ

          If I can sell the current ones for $200-250 , then I would be fine getting upgrading the current RAM. Plus its prettier and RGB hahah

            Very few people buy used consumer grade ram.

              But, yes getting ram that registers as being faster, would provide better overall system performance.

              But you're spending more money for little gain

                  I see.. Damn.. I currently have it listed on eBay, If I don't get anything I wont spend the money and will return the memory.

                    @JaredBusch unrelated to the topic but how did you get that system view?

                    On topic those temps look way high from my gaming days even for overclocked and water cooled. As mentioned wouldn't be surprised if the CPU is Fubar

                      @hobbit666 lm_sensors is my guess.

                            glances, but I assume it does not show that info without lm_sensors

                              This is correct.

                                          yea, I think it was good luck, as in good luck getting them to do anything.. Well looks like they might, after i bitched them out saying reading the fin HWInfo logs, it gives you everything and unless you will be held responsible, i will not stress the system, saying I have been in IT blah blah blah.. I was then nice and sent then an idle screenshot using their software. They are now asking for receipt and serial number. I gotta pull the cooler this weekend and send them the pic.. I using an older invoice since i dont have the receipt from best buy (i initially bought the h115, but didn't clear the system (prob due to rgb plate thingy), so ran to Best Buy and bought the H100). we will see what they say
