  2. It takes quite a bit for a motherboard to blow up a CPU, usually the S0 power stages are heavily protected specifically to prevent this kind of situations.

  10. I always insert the CPU one corner first. My daughter used this method since she was 10 years old and she never missed, never bent any pins, ever. My programmer knows how to handle the BIOS from ASUS all by itself. It's an old one, an EZP2019+

  12. You can force the power supply to turn on, just short pin 16 of the ATX power connector to ground. Then you can test all power points, don't even need a CPU installed.

  15. Had same issue on my Asus motherboard. Computer was getting some blue screen errors for no reason. And I turned it off and on many times and BIOS corrupted. So I put .bin file into USB and pressed flasback button on motherboard, it reinstalled BIOS and it's been 1,5 years no issues.

  18. fyi, not in dual channel mode, you need to stagger the ram modules. (use 1 color of ram slots.) I am happy you scored a deal. I bought a rog strix z490-e for $50 and it had the same problem. Flashed and all is well. Cheers GPU Dude!

  20. i was about to tell you A1, B1 but someone already did
    left the comment anyways for the ALGO…
    had 2 asus boards, AMD however. Both
    are dead from bios issues that were not fixable
    with the tool i had. parts came in handy for another
    board or two for MSI b550, x570 boards.

  24. Great video! More interesting than the GPU crack repairs IMO. Also answers questions about why all the repair shops avoid motherboard repairs. I hope you do some more motherboard stuff even though you dont like it!

  28. on daisy chain layouts the first physical trace is a2 and or b2 ("or" for single channel cpus, "and" for dual) * i think the single channel cpu will connect to either of them as well.
    a1 is daisy chained on a2 and b1 the same on b2.
    On T- topology layouts there could be differences. Need to check the manual about memory configuration based on the motherboard mem layout and cpu

  30. I have a problem with one GPU rx6600, only after a few restarting the system is working normally, tried flash the bios it starting to work normally but every morning after a long night doesn't start unless I am attempting a few times

  31. sometimes the cmos is not getting cleared by flashing bios via programmer, for example recently i flashed an opensourced bios firmware called coreboot to a 15yo motherboard, then i flashed back to original one and cmos data still presents. (i used programmer on both flashing process)

    so it's better to touch cmos battery jumper (usually it called as JBAT) just for a second for making sure. and no i'm not going to tell that you are using single channel memory as many people said before. nice ram sticks btw

    another note: if you have seperated north bridge on your motherboard you can start them without a cpu for checking the voltages. but those motherboards aren't produced since more than a decade. if i'm not wrong intel killed seperated northbridge with 2th gen

  34. I see alot of comments saying so let me clear the sky single channel memory is 10% loss on cpu performance (may very between generations) but dual channel is the way to go with old and new cpus so NWR i suggest you install the ram in dual channel mode (also the slots are colour coded so itll be easy) congratulations on the successful reapir

  35. The likely issue is that the board you have has a early bios which is not fully stable with the late production DDR4 memory with more aggressive timings. Z170 was released during the DDR3 to DDR4 transition. Early production DDR4 has much less aggressive timings when compared to late production modules like the most recent 3200 CL16 sticks. BIOS updates usually are released later in the life time of the board to deal with these issues. What you see is a classic memory instability issue due to instability between the memory and the memory controller. This is similar to how DDR5 8200 memory is not guaranteed to be stable at rated speeds on all but the most high end overclocking boards and only with the best bined CPUs. This happened when we went from DDR2 to DDR3 and DDR3 to DDR4. You will see this issue again with current DDR5 boards whenever we go from DDR5 to DDR6.

  37. I have an ASUS mobo, and after weeks of working fineone day it just started to blue-screen, i ran a RAM test and it says the modules 4GB to 8GB have errors(single DDR4 8GB 3600Mhz dimm)

    The PC does boot and all, i can even run a live-OS but sometimes it crashes. If i try to re-install an OS to my PC it can't do it because ir says the memory is corrupted.

    I'm hesitant to see if flashing the bios is a good idea or could i brick my mobo.
