What did you get?

I got two double cheeseburgers and fires and my sister a chicken and bacon wrap because I owed her a McDonalds.

Price difference between Double Cheeseburger and a Quarterpounder?


Quick question (well, I hope it’s a quick one):

Can anyone explain to me how RAM slots are numbered/named?

Asus labels them (from left to right; left being the CPU socket, right being the edge of the motherboard):
B1 B2 A1 A2

The 1 working stick of my 2x 8GB kit is currently in slot A2.

CPU-Z shows it as “Slot #2”.

Aida64 shows it as DIMM3.

And in the Windows Task Manager it shows as “Slot 2”, with the rest being empty.

How does each of them count/name the slots?

a cheeseburger is 99p and a double is £1.49 so about 50p.

Is the price justified or are they about the same size? Never had a Double Cheeseburger.

The only difference is the double has an extra pattie and cheese.

But they should be the same in thickness combined as the one in the Quarterpounder, if regular Cheeseburger patties are used (and the same size as here).

“Cheese”.
I kinda doubt the cheese at McDonalds, Burger King, etc can really be called that.

yes its the same as a Quarterpounder but everything is doubled except the bun.

“cheese” as in American cheese which is basically flavored melty plastic lol.

Computer logic is 0-3
For 1-4 usually.
So that’s probably why numbers are different.
And usually it’s color coded which slots are which… Sometimes. I usually just pick one set of them and go with that and if it doesn’t work switch to the other set of slots.

Just remembered it’s the same with CPU cores.

Still confusing for noobs. And to make it even less clear: the BIOS lists it like that, which would (by just looking at the position, not the slot name) suggest a different position than it actually is at.

Aren’t you supposed to have 16gb of ram ATM or are you testing things currently?
And yeah it can be annoying when the bios is like that.

Made a thread about it with a - likely - conclusion.

The 2nd stick seems to be responsible for my BSODs. Stick 1 passed Memtest86 in every RAM slot, while stick 2 failed in 3/4 RAM slots on the very first test already producing something like 50k+ errors in ~30sec. Didn’t bother testing the last RAM slot.

But now @Dje4321 is making me worry it might be the IMC instead of the RAM. Although, didn’t have a single BSOD since I’m only running the stick that passed Memtest.

This kit is going back to Amazon, though, with a Trident Z DDR4-3200 CL14 kit on the way (should arrive Wednesday).

Edit: I mean, not that the passed Memtest means anything. It passed 15h/18passes with OC applied when I got it. But no BSODs ever since I’m only using the one stick that passed Memstest in every RAM slot.

Getting back to normal fairly quickly actually; though mainly because am at home and drinking lots of water and such. My parents friends weren’t out doing anything so home … Relatively early lol.
In any case was fun. Will see how the rest of the (year) day goes.

Actually went to bed ~2h before midnight. Being ~28h awake and just sitting in front of my PC weren’t good motivators to stay awake.

Trying to figure out in what configuration/settings and for how long I should run test the new RAM in Memtest86.
Testing each stick individually with the stock settings in BIOS. But for how long? 4 runs? 12h each? 24h each? And then how long at DDR4-2933? Same length again? That would be up to 96h.
Also, as the current kit shows, it’s not a guarantee there won’t be any issues later, even with a perfect run in Memtest.

Any advice?

Meanwhile I’m loading up one of the HDDs I replaced recently with media so I can use it as an ext. drive with my laptop.
