Anyone had a chance to check these out...

This is a very selfish endeavour. I want the room with my gaming PC to have super fast internet. That's the game we're playing here!

Ooo this looks cool - is this more reliable than a wifi extender?

If it's worth the spend, more than happy to give it a punt. Could you recommend any models?

Hi all! I'm looking for advice on what I can do to improve WIFI speed. Speeds right next to my router are ~300mbps. Speeds record on my PC, which is on the top floor, are around 150mbps. I can't move the router because it's hooked into the phone line and I can't move the PC because my wife will...

Hey there! when you say ‘no error message’, could you check if there is a MEMORY.dmp file in your C:/Windows folder? If it’s not there, try %SystemRoot% in the file explorer. If it’s available, would you be able to upload it somewhere and make the link available?

Your wish is my command. I’ll get right on that. I ran Prime95 for a few hours yesterday to see, and that reported no errors. Would imagine that’s quite a bit less rigorous though. Chris

After some messing about, I can definitely say it's crashing less frequently - I wonder if there have been incremental improvements to the whole RAM thing in later BIOS versions and I'm just experiencing some edge cases they haven't got to yet.

The fact it only happens on that game - some interplay between my Mobo, CPU, RAM, GPU + The game is quite possible. The fact that the game also was working fine and then stopped makes me wonder if they've recently patched and done something funky. The thing that makes me think otherwise is the...

Your reply couldn't be more opportune. Unfortunately it just happened again :( Dump: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XZ1FSK64lmKT6s5JFim7CXcVRb9OssYw/view?usp=sharing

I was going to say - I may go back up to 3600MHz now and see if the crashing issues from a few months ago persist. If they don't then we know that the only thing that's changed between now and then is the BIOS update and we can be confident that this latest BIOS version (or one of the previous...

WELL - one hour in and no crash so far, which is a good bit longer than I was getting last night (20 mins tops). Gonna intermittently play games for the next few hours... you know... for research... Get back to you with more updates!

Well I wish I'd read this before I did it! But the update went fine and I now have the latest version of the BIOS. I've gone back to 4x8GB DIMMs at 3533MHz (worked perfectly in almost everything except Apex) and I'm going to play a little apex to see what happens.

Just got off the phone with PCS. They said that I am on quite an old BIOS version and that actual version is no longer listed on the Asus site... which is good fun. He recommended my next port of call be a BIOS update and that I should go to the latest available version. I am presently pulling...

Yep, understood - just wanted to make sure I'm not getting anything wrong.

Okay, next thing to do is to speak with PCS then. Understood. I'll call them ASAP and report the issue. You mentioned before it sounds like a "timing" issue rather than something being wrong with the hardware itself? That is to say, an RMA wouldn't make much sense right now. Am I understanding...

AND while i'm on this, for that game to previously work just fine and only in the past few days begin crashing like this. It's so very specific!

I'm happy to start working through the upgrade process. I'm just a little confused about how a hardware failure can only occur when only running one specific game, you know? I can't find another game that will cause the PC to completely fail like this. There are games that crash to desktop...

Ran with 2x8GB and it ran into the same issue this time. For clarity, 2x8GB downclocked to 3200MHz. Once again, crash ONLY occurs when I jump into an Apex legends game. Other games (Mount and Blade 2, Call of Duty Warzone, Cyberpunk 2077, Chivalry 2) do not cause a crash. Dump link...

Update: 3200MHz and the error persists. Again, only when I boot Apex. Really bizarre! I'll go down to two DIMMs and report back. Good news is it seems to be pretty easy to trigger the crash which means we've got a nice repeatable test case.
