would KLEVV BOLT X 32GB 3200MHz DDR4 Desktop Gaming Memory be a better choice? If I drop my power supply to a 600 then its within my budget

I don't know the brand at all, and would rather stick to GSkill and Corsair to be safe.
3200Mhz CL16 is fine.

It's not exactly what I was suggesting but it's something to look into. Are you on the latest bios for your motherboard? A low load voltage crash is something the motherboard manufacturer would have patched out with a new BIOS revision by now, you'd assume.

I wouldn't change the voltage directly the way you described - there must be an offset option somewhere. Maybe check for a voltage section or an AMD overclocking menu (not sure what Asrock calls those things).

Latest Bios (4.20) if I'm not mistaken.
Thanks for the help so far but I think I'm going to give up. I can game at a solid 120 FPS at 1080p. I don't need much more than that tbh

Spent an hour poking around till I got some cooperation...3866/1933 boots and runs AIDA but stability testing will have to wait till after work maybe or the weekend.

Not too bad for a 3200 CL16 kit of memory.

Contacted woot for them to test the AsRock board and Ram though.

If they give the all clear that nothing is wrong with the asrock board, I'll probably sell it here or on carb
 
Hey guys. I'd like to build a gaming PC that has a similar cost to this one (Except I would be using wootware so it would be nice if alternate parts were in stock there).

The only thing I know about is GPUs lol and the RX 6700 seems like the best bet for me.

I am willing to hear alternate recommendations though for GPU/parts. I will probably pay wootware to build it.
Going to be using it for gaming... maybe a little rendering videos as well.

My build and @Lupus in the last few pages are in a similar price range with wootware basket pictures posted.

Is there any disadvantage to getting them from these sorts of places?

In my experience no. I've not had an issue with keys bought there before. Sometimes it's just easier to get a retail key from those suppliers.

One of my kids decided to get a laptop instead of using the desktop, so I migrated everything over using Macrium ( quick and lazy way) only to discover the laptop had windows 10 home and the desktop had win10 pro. Instead of reinstalling everything, I just bought a pro key. Problem solved

Did you get an answer to this btw? Is cooling an issue for the micro atx? Cause the smaller form factor isnt really a big issue for me
Click to expand...
Nah in the end I just went with the slightly bigger Phanteks case that Lupus had.
