So far no real issues with the system. No tinkering either though. XMP is enabled and that's it. Haven't even updated the BIOS on it since we got it. If it ain't broke... I use a similar switch on my system since it doesn't have a button on the motherboard. And with a vertical GPU it wouldn't...

We're just trying to figure out what's causing the problem. Have to rule things out one at a time.

What happens when it freezes exactly? Does the screen stay at the last frame that was rendered or does it go black? Have you tested the memory? How many sticks do you have 2 or 4? Try with one stick at a time? Disable any XMP profile and try again?

What SSD is it? It doesn't look like your motherboard has a built-in heat sink for the m.2 slot. If your SSD doesn't have a heatsink then I'd look into getting one. My 980 Pros rarely get to 50C with the motherboard heatsink. https://a.co/d/75sQrtl

Was there plastic on the bottom of the heatsink that didn't get removed?

AMD 7600, 7600X, 9600X, 7600X3D, 7500f, 8300G, 8500G, 8600G Intel 14100 Just off the top of my head, didn't even include any laptop CPUs.

Given your budget and use case (rendering) I'd think 48GB or 64GB of RAM might be worth it.

Fired up the office PC again. XMP was enabled and it is running at 6000 with correct timings, so all good there.

Might have to look at swapping this Wraith cooler out for something else. CPU was 90-95C and the fan going nuts just installing AutoCAD. Even at idle the CPU sits around 60C with PPT around 23W. Playing around with fan curves and I might give curve optimizer a shot with like a -15 offset.

I won the bid for the RAM. Just under $36 shipped, should be here in a few days.

Even getting the same brand cooler may not guarantee that it has the same mounting kit. But you could download the installation instructions and see if it's at least similar. Air coolers are typically easier to install but in small form factor builds you may find even an air cooler is tough if...

I didn't check to see if the RAM was running at XMP or not yet, but I will. Already powered that one down for today to hook up the CAD PC. On the CAD PC it has GSkill as well, same speed and CAS, but it is a Flare X5 EXPO kit and EXPO was enabled by default. I actually checked in the BIOS on...

Yeah, the fact that they use off the shelf parts was definitely a deciding factor. It also uses a Lian Li case and PSU, and a WD SN580 drive. I was looking at that RAM kit earlier. Might end up going with that. Found a few single matching sticks on eBay for about $60 shipped, but for that I...

Microcenter had some decent pricing for the PowerSpec units so I went ahead and picked up 2 machines. Installing software on them now and will do some testing before putting them in use. Office PC - B736 $599.99 (back to $749.99 now) R5 7600X 16GB DDR5-6000 1TB NVME 650W PSU Win 11 Pro CAD PC...
