Clear the CMOS on that.
You're not even close to the stock settings.
Bus speed should be 200. Vcore should be 1.4v.
God knows what else has been changed.
Let's start from scratch.

Dang you Mr.Scott, you beat me to the punchI was going to say about the same thing on the bus speed
Set the ram speed to 1600MHZ (1.6GHZ), the IMC in FX CPU's don't handle ram clocked to 1866MHZ (1.866GHZ) all that well.
So I decided to boot into the BIOS to see if setting the ram speed was simple enough to do. I entered the advanced menu and went into Ai Tweaker. The current memory frequency was set to Auto and the current memory frequency showed 1333MHz (I found that weird because I'm pretty sure my ram is 1866MHz). Would I still want to set it to 1600MHz?
Normal. You have Cool & Quiet enabled. It is a power savings feature.I ran CPUz and was about the take a screenshot when I noticed the Core Speed and Multiplier change for a second or two before going back the initial values. I was able to capture both instances and also did the memory tab again as shown below.
Yes, in the BIOS, take ram speed off of auto and set it to 1600, the Auto mode don't always sets the right settings. I use manual mode on most settings in my PC's. May need to set the ram profile for 1600 if you have issues.
Read the manual a few times, I've had to do that myself a few times to get to know the MB.![]()
OK I will change to 1600 in BIOS and read the manual to figure out set the ram profile.

Anyone, I assume I still should get a case fan is that correct? Is this the one to get:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NEMG62M?tag=pcbuilds101-20
No, if a 140mm will go where I have the red arrow, put 1 there, if 140mm is too big then a 120mm. Also, try and neaten up those cables too.

Can you please explain how to set the ram timing to 9,9,9,27? Also, I measure from one mounting hole down to the other is that correct?
On page 3-11 of your MB manual, Section 3.4.11 Dram Timing Control, open that and set the timing there.

Set the timing to 9,9,9,27.

So I changed the timing to 9,9,9,27. I assume I did it correctly based on the CPUz memory tab shown below. However, now the bus speed isn't around 200 anymore and I don't think I changed anything else.

I would also change that cooler orientation 90 degrees, to blow front to back.
So just to be 100% sure, since I'm not sure about the air flow direction, would I make it so the cooler fan would face the front of the case?
Case air flow should be from front/low to rear high. The cooler fan should be blowing air through the cooler from front to back towards the rear panel case fan. Computer fans are made to push air from the open side of the fan frame through the spoked side.
