Hello I have a problem with my memory clock I have g. skill trident z rgb 3600mhz cl16 16-18-18-39. I loaded the XMP profile in the BIOS but the memory only clocks at 3200mhz although 3600mhz is set. The 3200mhz is displayed in the bios, in HWINFO and in Cpu z. Then I got the ram at 3866mhz and 17-19-19-42 and then I was shown a memory clock of 3466mhz in all tools. I also noticed that with Prime95 whether xmp profile is activated or not after 10min a core stops after a main thread shows a fatal error. My cpu is the i5-9600kf and the motherboard is the gigabyte z390 aorus elite. I tried the BIOS versions f9 and f10c and had the problem with both. Would be super nice if you could help me I'm really desperate. The BIOS is completely stock and the CPU, motherboard and memory are new. I also don't have any components there to replace them in my setup which makes troubleshooting difficult

Do you tour any American machine shops, CCA or component manufacturers? I'm an electromechanical engineer, so my primary job is to design electronics housings/enclosures to ensure sensitive electronics survive very specific environments. The really fun part of the job is when I get to tour our supplier's facilities. If you haven't had the opportunity to take a look at some very high-end American machine shops, I would highly encourage you to do so. I, for one, have never been to a fab house outside the US, so it's very interesting to see the way the Chinese and Taiwanese operate. This is a fascinating series, an interesting video would be a tour of a high-end American shop and your thoughts about how they compare to their foreign counterparts.

I found the part about the perfectly flat rock interesting. I once worked over top of one of those that was about 8ft x 8ft x 2ft thick granite. It had a camera mounted above it and they used it to look for basically perfect measurement on finished parts for executive jets. We were on a lift running pipe for electrical over top of it. The whole thing was pretty serious, we had to do safety briefings about the equipment before we could start. We had to tether off tools and materials, and the whole thing got covered in plastic before we could start. We had a few hours, on a day off for them, to finish the pipe through the room and let another crew clean the whole room. I had never heard of these things before that, but they are super cool.

Few things about Bitspower. Awesome fittings. Best bar none. Historically, very average CPU block performance. Newest CPU blocks are excellent (like the new TR block. Very average GPU block performance. Hopefully they improve them like they have the CPU blocks. Best distro plates on the market. Average radiators. Average reservoirs. Putting their logo stamps all over a lot of their products is a major disincentive for a lot of people (me included. RIDICULOUS pricing in Europe (they need to do something about distribution here. Expensive in US. Excellent value in TW (almost worth changing your holiday plans if you want to build a system using their stuff.

Stonemason here, Granit cannot be Black, it could be some type of Hard stone like a Diorite or Gabbro, or in fact some sort of Calcium RIch Stone like Limeston or Marble. Usually these Meassuring desks are Made from A Lavastone soo, gabbro or Diorite. cause it has about the same hardness as Granit. the small secion of the desk is too Far away and not sharp enough to make out details of what it is exactly but if the Small piece where the screw is on at 3: 38 is the same as the desc material, id say its some sort of Lavastone. (One stone that looks a like the one shown one is called Virgina Black )

Would the more spaced fins have a longer service life, because gunk and debris would be able to pass easier through the fins, then the super tight fins, but cooling wise it would still be good enough for 90% of people. Some people do not understand the prize of these flat stone slabs, i have seen them being used as a worktable to store hammers, drills, saws and so on. Seeing precision stuff that cost much more then my monthly salary being used as a 100 work table, makes me want to run away with it and find a new home for it.

I have a question. Can you maybe ask or estimate how expensive is real estate in such manufacturing areas as Taiwan or Shenzhen compared to for example USA? Factories in such areas have huge benefits from close proximity to each other but what is the cost of that? My bonus question is why PC hardware is design in metric while USA was historically the driving force in creating it? Is it because it is relatively new invention and it strongly connected to academic research(so SI units were used?

Wow, having worked in Quality Control before, this is top notch attention to detail from Bitspower. On a different note, just redid my water heater plumbing, and let me tell you my bitspower compression fittings are about 3 times better than all the plumbing fittings I have seen. Most plumbing fittings, compression or push connect, have one seal or one O-Ring. My bitspower fittings have a minimum of 2, if not 3. Makes me wanna slap those bad boi's on my water heater XD.

I believe that Leveling Table is probably Granite! We had to get something that looked just like that as Level Table for QA Inspections of Transformers we were building for Northrup Grumman! They gave us a List of Approved suppliers and were told that Granite was best for a creating a Natural level surface! And though I was not told the Price I was told it was as Expensive as Hell! LOL!

The surface plate is granite, with tight grain. There is a twin to the plate that in the old days was kept at the factory. If the plate needed to be resurfaced for what ever reason, the twin was place on top of each other and rotated against each other, creating the flat matched surfaces again. I only know this because I worked in the precision measurement lab at Beale AFB in the 70's
