I put the 64 GB back in and tried one more thing - I tried dropping it down to its lowest profile - below 2134 - and it won't work at anything but 2134. How does that make sense?

Oh well - I guess 64 GB is overkill anyway. Maybe a Bios update, or CPU driver update will come out that will change all this.

I took half my RAM out. Got it up to 2933. Still wont run at 3200.

Still doesnt explain why suddenly I can't get to 2933 with RAM thats actually ON the compatibility list as opposed to the RAM that wasn't even on the list.

Thats not what I've seen in other builds...

Oh no way... So I cant run 64gb of 3200??

F4-3400C16Q-64GTZ This is what I'm using. It says "3200" - but according to GSkills website - its actually 3400. It's on the compatibility list.

I bought 3200 Gskill RAM - off the compatibility list from my X399 Taichi motherboard - and I couldn't get it above 2933 Mhz. So - at the suggestion of YouTubers and Forum comments - I purchased 64 GB of Gskill 3400 that WAS on the compatibility list. NOW - I cant even get over 2134. Is this...

AJC9988 - thank you very much for responding with that information. You have put me at ease. I DO trust the repair tech that put the compound on my CPU - I believe that he probably knew what you know. I have just been hearing all these rumors and wanted to verify before confronting him about it...

Yeah - and also it was actually a repair tech that put it on without asking me first. Which is not cool.

Well - I'm still glad I made this thread. I've heard this rumor going around a LOT. And its good to hear it cleared up. Even though I wish my CPU wasn't the guinea pig.

OH! Ok - thats something I didn't notice. Right on. So thats worst case scenario. So - if I wanted to clean off the liquid metal - I could do so without having to worry about it corroding my CPU?

After finally getting my AIO problems resolved - now I have to worry about my CPU being corroded by Liquid Metal. Building your own PC is so stressful... Well - for someone like me who has no experience.

I sure hope so... https://www.reddit.com/r/overclocking/comments/6dxvsv/regarding_the_idea_that_using_liquid_metal_paste/#bottom-comments https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/8779mc/do_not_use_liquid_metal_or_conductonaut_on_a/ Sites like these.
