After more trying to figure this post code 8 and why it kept popping up, even during benching.

I switched CPU coolers and the problem went away.

I used the correct mounting hardware with the EKWB but for some reason it causes CPU issues and I had some posting issues with it on GBT thinking it was the gbt board.

How can the EKWB AIO cause memory and posting issues with the AM4 socket? I am 100% positive now that this was the problem.
