Probably not, but you could use the original RAM to go back into BIOS and set defaults, then try again just to make sure some setting just doesn't work with the one module. The system should recognize the modules as new and set defaults, but I've seen weirder things happen.Well my things arrived, but it seems that I have a faulty memory module.
No matter what memory slot I place it in, I get a red error LED and no booting. With the other module, the computer boot just fine.
Could there be anything I'm missing?
I'm currently posting with 1x32GB and everything works fine. But lets see, I'll have to RMA anyways and put in the old memory no matter what :/Probably not, but you could use the original RAM to go back into BIOS and set defaults, then try again just to make sure some setting just doesn't work with the one module.

At the very least, if you are like me, you won't feel every CTRL+S putting a sharp dagger into your SSD's heart.
No fears of power loss/BSOD? or do you have a backup solution?Mostly for files that I'm working on, usually large Excel files.
I believe that's why my MLC SSD in my work PC has only 7% writes in 7.17 years.

The chance that I would be working on something I spent the entire day on and a sudden power loss happening are very slim. Off the top of my head, I can recall maybe three power losses in my workplace building in my 16 year history with the company.No fears of power loss/BSOD? or do you have a backup solution?
If I'd known you were looking for a 5600X3D I would have sold you mine. I've been trying to sell a 5600X3D/b550/RTX 3060/3600 C16/1TB build I put together in an NR200 for $800. I don't even think I've received a reply to my ad. I guess I should have expected a non RGB build would sit even with a reasonable price.I closed a deal on a 5600X3D on another forum, so if all goes well I should have it early next week. I have wanted one since I first read about it being released. The rarest Zen 3?
Taking this opportunity to redo one of my CoolerMaster nr200 builds. Moved the SFX PSU to the front making for better cable management and much more room around the board. Reinstalling my RX 6800, and I'll be swapping from a 120mm AIO that just had the pump die, to a Peerless Assassin SE. Air cooling FTW. That means my best timing 3600MTs 32GB kit will be too tall, so a CL19 kit of Viper II gets the job. Otherwise I think the fan on the cooler will stick up too high, keeping me from closing the vented side panel. I don't know if I will ever even unbox the glass side panel that also came with it. Zero cares to give showcase stuff, you lose a tiny bit of height with it from what I've read, and there goes all of that ventilation the other side panel provides.
I had a WTB thread here in the for sale/trade forum. You can see it , but it is hidden to n00bs and has prerequisites for post count and maybe time too? to see and use it, hence traffic is terrible here. I got almost literally 1000 times the views and found someone willing to sell theirs over at TPU. If you end up having to part out the system, shoot me a private message. As upgrading most of my AM4 builds to 3D might be the meta.If I'd known you were looking for a 5600X3D I would have sold you mine.

I picked up the PA SE for $30 last year for my son's PC. It's been a champ, so I didn't even look at other coolers. It is already here, so probably just going to use it. That Phantom Spirit SE does look like a winner though, and the price is close. That'll teach me not to look around first.The PA will still work great on that thing without the front fan if you want to run your faster memory kit. A Scythe Fuma 3 comes with better fans and has zero memory clearance issues. if you haven't bought the cooler already, and want to min-max the cooling/memory combo, it might be worth a look. It costs a bit more but ideally the fan(s) should be replaced on the PA SE anyway. If the Thermalright fans don't have noisy bearings out of the box it's highly likely they will sooner than later.
FYI, the Phantom Spirit SE is an updated improvement on the PA SE if you aren't already aware. Has 154 mm height so no issue there. I've had several of each and the PS is a slightly better cooler. The PA is still solid though.
I just have it listed on my local CL. I usually don't have trouble selling on there so I'm not sure what the deal is. I'm sure someone will hit me up eventually.

Where are you selling your build at? If you have it listed on r/hardwareswap and haven't gotten a bite? that's crazy. Because that's a really solid price. Especially if you are including a quality SFX PSU. I was hoping it was a fad, but here we are in 2024 and it still seems to be the case that "RGB sells PCs" SMDH.

And thank you for the helpful and most excellent advice.
Sometime last year I think. I'd only go with the SE if you need the shorter height like @DAPUNISHER does in the NR200 case. The Phantom Spirit 120 EVO is the one to get IMO.When did Phantom Spirit SE hit the market ???
( ashamed I paid twice as much for a NH-D15 - but that was at least 4 years ago )
I have the D15 myself. It is a backup for when the pump dies on the AIO I have in my full tower. Got it used here in the for sale forum for a good price a ways back. Great cooler, but yeah these new ones have changed the bang for buck in a good way.When did Phantom Spirit SE hit the market ???

If I didn't have the D15 I'd buy that now as backup. Just as with storage, buy when you know the prices are rock bottom because it probably won't last. I suspect we will price check that EVO some day and it'll be $60.Sometime last year I think. I'd only go with the SE if you need the shorter height like @DAPUNISHER does in the NR200 case.

Noctua stuff can be a solid buy used. The new prices are insane IMO. They really need to adjust to market reality on their pricing. Many of their fan designs are dated and their heat sinks probably also need a refresh. Their development moves at a snails pace. A12's are still great fans but they aren't worth $15 more than a Be Quiet silent wings 4. A d-15 isn't worth $80 more than a Thermalright frost commander. The name rep is only going to take them so far. I think they're failure to adjust their pricing will cause them to slowly become irrelevant.... which is kind of sad considering the high quality and excellent customer service they offer. I'm not saying the quality doesn't merit a premium for their coolers over Thermalright, but its hard to justify the entire price difference based on performance.I have the D15 myself.
