try running it with the default cpu fan/heatsink, as long as you have some sort of heatsink (without a fan) it will run fine for 5 minutes or so without over heating.

So after some more tests yesterday I ended up loosing the screws on the plastic parts where the CPU fan gets locked in and now everything works. Expect I now have to update my OS to Windows 10 as I've been using Windows 7 forever but 7 has problems recognizing the USB ports data. ASRock has a tool to fix this but from what I've seen the tool is only good for when you are installing Win 7 not after it's already been installed...

You're telling me! That's because AMD AM4 chipsets no longer support Enhanced Host Controller Interface which long story short if you're going to use Win 7 you have to install a patch otherwise it won't recognize the USB ports, Win 10 while I think it is a far, far, far worse OS then even Vista it doesn't have this problem.

Well I bit the bullet today and bought Windows 10 and installed it. So far everything is working as it should be. I have not tested any of my games yet but they should work fine, should being the key word here.

Hi
I recently built a new Pc my last one was over 10 years old, running W7 Pro. Issues I have found with the new version was the need to have an operating system that worked with UEFI.
I tried for days to get my older sims to run on my new system but now all is well with the world.

BTW the CMOS clear is actually the button not many of the upspec MBs have the jumper now, mine also has the clear CMOS button.

Regards
