Dear Wardog, Petrolhead.
It is now almost 1 month since I changed the RAM settings: activating XMP (that was naturally not activated on the MB), set everything to default (Voltage was not in line with frequency (Bios Setup)). Since that day, no more BSOD, no more Freezes. By the Way, the Kingston RAM was incompatible with the MB despite what Kingston said. Default setting in the BIOS was not in coherent with RAM settings and XMP couldn't be activated. For me, this post can be marked as "Solved"! Thank you all for your great support and patience :)

Hehe. Sure, you are really right. When I go through this forum I passed time whining on AsRock. I can understand your frustration when noobs complain rather than being constructive. You spend your free time helping noobs that are angry and childish. When they complain about a problem they probably created themselves.
However I never expected an official answer. And about that Superior statement well.. I'm myself a manager as I mentioned, and Jesus! How many times I would have loved speaking like to this to my direct reports... But yeah. I'm getting paid for my job, so I can retain me... ;) Anyway, it's not important. What is important is that I learned a lot in one topic, more than the 20 other topics I opened on this matter! I would like to thank you about that. And there's another thing. For once since years I'm back in the position where I'm the one that lacks experience and that seeks help from the "manager". It's rather instructive to switch the position once :) Next time, when I'll start to see angryness rising in me after a stupid question, I'll say to myself: Remember when you were whining about asrock! :) I'll provide a conclusive remark about all this hardware issues "bsod, heat, freeze" in a few days since I hate posts where you cannot see if the thing functioned or not.

Allow me to retract that statement as I have had Superiors that had no business other than his just graduated college management classes(ie: absolutely no real world experience at managing), never mind no experience with nor knowledge of the product being produced. |

dinin70, as PetrolHead stated, there are only two Moderators here, Zaltar and parec, that I fear while posting. I am not in any way associated with ASRock, yet PetrolHead and us others here post willingly, from experience, and maybe painfully, truthfully. Me being me, I do sometimes post when I shouldn't. We're adults here and should have thick skin by now for as long as the internet has existed and the differing folks who post and or communicate using it. The nature of the beast. But it gets tiring when I see folks turn on a dime and lay blame on their hardware, ASRock in this instance. AM3(+) is so standardized that were a manufacturer, CoolerMaster in this instance, offer a product that goes so very far from the mark as to offer a cooler, your TX3 EVO, that will not mount and push hot air towards the exhaust fan but instead distribute it INSIDE the case is just ludicrous. Sometimes we just need to stop and take inventory of what we're looking at that is confounding us and not blame the product but instead conclude that it is fact us that is us ourselves who is at error. Too, what would your Superior have said when presented with that incorrect logic? He's a Superior because of his experience. |

Maybe we should always start with a disclaimer. "I am not official tech support. I am in no way responsible for any damages or hurt feelings that might result from following my advice..." ;)

Just so that there's no confusion: Me, wardog and WKjun are (AFAIK, at least) just normal forum members, just like you. We do not represent the official tech support, nor are we paid to give any sort of advice here. This is why none of us live in fear of getting insta-fired, we only fear the wrath of forum moderators. ;) The advice we have tried to give is based on our own experiences and while it sometimes may be helpful, if you want the official ASRock tech support to comment on your case, your best bet is to send them a message through the form on their website (http://event.asrock.com/tsd.asp). Sure, the official tech support also reads these forums, but the user ASRock_TSD has so far averaged 0.22 posts per day, which says something about the chances you have of reaching them through the forum. It's the same thing on other manufacturer's forums. People post and expect to get an official answer, when in fact the forum is more about building a community where users of a certain brand can share experiences and help each other. Sporadic help from the official tech support is just a bonus feature. |

And by the way in fact I didn't activate Sapphire Trixx and the graphic cards activate fans more quickly only when Trixx is open. Probably there's something that can be done somewhere else (bios, or amd evolved), I'll check that later.

Indeed, looks like I could have done more research even though I did on other forums...
Thank you for the link but WOW. If I speak like this to my direct reports a single time despite all the questions I answered to 100 times and the provided trainings I would be insta-fired Anyway I would like to thank you all for all your help. I believe there is nothing much that can be done. For the sake of brining an additional stone to the problem resolution I will keep you updated. Best regards! |
