GlitchedAtBirth Troubleshooter

Wanted to add my own observations regarding this issue. I hadn’t experienced any issues with my keyboard backlight RGB at all since I’d purchased my laptop. My keyboard didn’t gradually change, it was SUDDEN. In fact, it happened immediately after I experienced a Windows crash that required me to do a system reset. The…

1. I purchased kit model: HX426S16IBK2/64 https://www.kingston.com/dataSheets/HX426S16IBK2_64.pdf --its 2 modules of Dual rank 32GB SODIMMs (64GB total) My particular kit has Micron chips They are currently occupying the A DIMMs. 2. As it relates to this question, I'm going to briefly provide some details. The night I…

Personally, I'm a desktop kind of guy, but as I'm not always in one place, it's not convenient to be hauling around a desktop everywhere, which is why this "Beast" was (initially) as if an answer to my prayers. Essentially desktop parts that were reshaped and crammed into a laptop form factor, but also not ignoring or…

First off, just so you are aware, this link has a chart showing how the CPU sets the RAM speed: https://community.acer.com/en/discussion/557888/ram-memory-speed-upgrade-predator-helios-500-ph517-61/p3 What it really boils down to is if you have single rank or dual rank RAM. If you've got two sticks of dual rank, you'll be…

so after doing a bit of research... It seems that with 4 DIMM sockets on the motherboard, dual rank maxes out at 2400. IF there were only 2 DIMM sockets on the motherboard, THEN we could get the 2666 with dual rank, but not with 4. Any faster is only achievable thru overclocking, unfortunately. So until we see 32gb…

Oh, and as far as that part that made it difficult to take out and reinsert the motherboard is this TINY tab located near the bottom third of the circled area of the picture. Its REALLY small, but it, combined with some of the posts that various screws that go thru the motherboard fit onto, pretty much prevent the board…

The screw I was referring to when talking about removing the WiFi card is just merely the screw on the end of it that’s holding it down. It’s partially obstructed by the heat pipe that goes directly over it, but it’s got a decent gap between itself and the pipe, so it’s not difficult to remove at all. And as far as from…

One last tidbit to add, just because I never received a reply when I asked previously. When disassembling the system, it’s ABSOLUTELY possible to leave the heat pipe assembly attached and access the RAM on the underside of the board. What you need to do, after you’ve gotten to where you’ve removed the fans and disconnected…

Oh, concerning the upgrade from the stock Killer 1550ac to the Killer 1650ax, if you are contemplating if you should upgrade or not, if there would even be much noticeable difference, I can say with complete certainty, it’s a HUGE difference!!! Not necessarily in speed, but in connection stability and distance, ESPECIALLY…

So actually ended up having this video playing while I was disassembling the system, as well as having that collection of photos from, what I'm assuming, is some sort of Acer tech manual posted earlier. While the video is of the Intel variant, both are nearly identical in how they are constructed and there really wasn't…

You can count me in on this as well. Have myself an AMD powered beast!! I've made many small software tweaks that have brought about amazing results. The Vega 56 has amazingly IMPROVED with time and IF IT'S SETTINGS are configured correctly, the performance is definitely MUCH better than when the Vega cards originally…

Any chance you could post a link to this Reddit thread?? Also, do you think it might be at all possible to be able to remove the 2 original (back side) sticks of RAM without having to completely remove the heatsink? As in, could the heatsink remain screwed on the board, and still be able to get the board to a point it can…

Thank you for linking the video. I've seen the diagram you posted before and I was mostly curious that if I were to only populate the two "B" channel DIMMS that it would (or rather should, since we can never guarantee anything) run at the full 2666 speed? Basically I'm wanting to know if it doesn't matter if the two sticks…

I do have a few questions that I haven't stumbled on in other threads.. If the original sticks are removed, could 2 sticks be placed into the "B" slots (on the accessible side when assembled) and still achieve full 2666 speeds instead of having to populate channel "A"??? Also, is it at all possible to keep the heatsink…

Ok, so this HELPED big time. Originally I didn't mention this as for some reason the first few times I tried to download and extract, the file kept coming back as corrupted, but I decided to try it ONE last time and it actually worked!! Wanted to say thanks for uploading this!!

Just wanted to make it known, that I just recently purchased a Hyper X kit of 2x32gb 2666 CL16 kit for my Ryzen beast and it's got Micron chips instead of the typical Hynix chips I typically see in photos of this kit, so this kit is practically a Crucial kit in that reguard. Just wanted to point this out since Kingston…

Dex!! Feels great to be able to actually say something directly. Been skulking around the various forums for a long while now, and want to say that we share SO MANY views on this Beast. Fully on the same page about trying to get a Bios upgrade for Zen 2 - possibly Zen 3/ RAM settings/ upgrades. Willing to even try to get…
