Turns out the ram was not properly installed. Some things just do not click in my brain i.e. checking if the ram is installed correctly.

I will check to see if there are both inserted correctly.

After I connected my ram the first time I saw in windows 10 task manager 16GB now it says I have 8GB but the weird thing in the right side of the display in the performance tab directly 2 or so inches to the right of the bold memory woed it says 16.0 GB DDR3. Is this considered dual channel? I...

Are you saying the rear fan on the back of the case is blowing air towards the cpu cooler? Correct again, temps were at 58C-59C while encoding with all cores and with twitch stream open since switching the far rear fan temps are now 54-56C. Yet another improvement. Thank you so much!

The air flow is up and out the back. @Insert_Nickname got it right as the fan next to the memory was facing the wrong way and thank you for your input. I now have both cooler fans blowing towards the back of the case so now all I have to do is run some tests. Finishing edit: I will just leave...

About the fans not moving. Funny thing after I had reapplied the thermal paste I did not plug in the cpu cable correctly and the fans were not working that time plus the PC would not boot up. I took another picture of my coolers fans just now and in fact my camera is that good. It capture the...

I see temp hikes when opening programs. I saw my temps at 51 C during firefox browsing and when I opened chrome the Temp 2 jumped to 54 C and Temp 3 jumped to 50's C. After the jump with no pages loading without browsing Temp 2 is 44-46 C. No more hikes though after loading chrome. I believe the...

All fans are working, and yes the cpu cooler was very warm to the touch. The cooler is placed neatly onto the cpu. I have place a proper amount evenly covered on the CPU. Update:BTW I have read here and there that this CPU gets hot easily. Mentions of getting a better cooler due to the stock...

Turns out my Cooler cannot cool this CPU as it generates too much heat. I am unable to encode with all 8 cores running nor with only 4. At first boot I tried encoding with all cores and it was hella fast but then the heat dominated and my motherboard I believe shut my PC down for protection...

I have went with the AMD FX-8350 4.0GHz 8-Core Processor and the G.Skill Sniper Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1866 Memory RAM. Thank You everyone who chimed in it was greatly appreciated. The parts should arrive Tuesday.

I have done what you said and set HandbrakeCLI to low priority but the above normal CPU usage persists going from 60 to 95 for HandbrakeCLI process. This is without watching a twitch stream. Ok I see now what you mean I just opened a twitch stream and the CPU usage lowers. At the same time it...

I had experienced a complete freeze while encoding once and the freeze "dark screen" possibly a crash which is unknown because I hit the reset button. The freeze started during opening speedfan. When speedfan was identifying as usual before it could finish my screens went dark. Pretty sure it...

I am running an encode right now HandbrakeCLI CPU usage has been between 60-95 CPU usage, staying mostly between 80-95. This is next the listing. Above in in the drop down listing I see 99 CPU total. I have chrome open as well typing this. It actually pops up to 100 in Speedfan. The...

I would say it has been powering my PC for at least 7 years as well as the RAM. I have not checked my temp while encoding. I have 4 cores and am able to get use of my pc by changing the affinity from all cores to 2. I assume you want me to check the temp with all cores running during an encode...

I have found this ram that is compatible, but do not know if it is good enough... Kingston HyperX Fury White 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1866 Memory
