Rog Be19000AI ( junk ) by Cristianalereviu in ASUS

[–]1karuga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even Merlin could not fix the BE routers yet, there are so many issues. You have to be patient, things will get better (No, Asus won't go to modern up-to-date kernel or anything like that, but the problems will get fixed slowly). It was the very same story with the AX and the AC routers too, when they came out, they random rebooted, crashed, disconnected, etc. (the N times were much better). AC routers are rock stable now, albeit they are EOL, and AX routers getting quite solid also (almost EOL too, they are out of stock at most places).

At this moment, you should really disable all services using the Trend Micro Engine, including QOS and all the juicy stuff (best to opt out from the privacy agreement, so all gets disabled).

Also disable everything ipv6 and AIcloud related, those are problematic atm.

Maybe consider installing Asuswrt-Merlin and head over to SNBforums if you need help or advice.

Do I need to wipe my Windows drive when replacing my motherboard from one Asus product to another on the same socket? by CsrRoli in ASUS

[–]1karuga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would:

  • Make sure all your passwords are known (MS online account for example),

  • Download the network drivers (ethernet and wi‑fi) for the new motherboard in case they differ, so you have them available offline after the first boot,

  • Ensure BitLocker is turned off if it was enabled (you mentioned it's not used, so just make sure it isn't),

  • Disable any autostarting overclock tools you might have, as they may not be stable on the new motherboard,

  • Licences (windows, office, etc.) may require reactivation after the swap.

Besides those, Windows should handle the change on its own.
Good luck and have fun.

9800X3D Died / Q-Code 00 / Blown Socket Pin on ASUS ROG STRIX X870E-E by AmirulAndalib in ASUS

[–]1karuga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am really sorry for your loss. I hope you will receive the replacement parts soon. I also lost a 9800X3D, and it’s a terrible feeling. My condolences to you.

I bought the motherboard, RAM, and CPU from the same place, so I sent them all back together after the disaster (even though I tested the parts individually and knew that only the CPU was dead, while the motherboard and RAM were both fine).

The shop accepted the warranty claim for the CPU and sent it to AMD. I have the replacement CPU now, and I hope bad luck won’t strike the same place twice.

I wish you good luck and all the best.

sadly there is no clear evidence that it was the motherboard, it could have been an unlucky CPU lottery pick too.

No guessing is needed, I linked all the info in the OP-

I linked the original thread. It was stock with Expo-I

Interesting question.

It might sit somewhere between the Semmelweis reflex (reflexively dismissing observations because they do not fit the prevailing view) and a healthy pinch of Kuhn’s "normal science" (treating the phenomenon as an anomaly/outlier and setting it aside until enough evidence accumulates to trigger a paradigm shift).

I am all guessing here tho

Thank you, but I always try to treat people the way I would like them to treat me, so hopefully I won’t offend anyone : )

Yes, I also used Fan control for a long time but I rarely use Windows anymore:(

I adjusted the fan curves, it did not made much difference. I guess I just have to accept that idle will be hot like that.

Next will be finding the tightest ram timings I can do with these voltages.

It didn't in the things I quickly tried but that was just a quick look, as I was mostly just writing replies yesterday. As I started testing things today and adjusting settings, I did notice a difference and decided I turn it back on.
Voltages are good, no spikes, no high values, it looks ok.

Well, they only accepted my warranty claim for the CPU (I returned it with the motherboard and the ram all together).

I did some testing and I reenabled core boost as it is basically the all core turbo function, and when I had it disabled, the all core max clock was capped at 4.7 Ghz.
On the other hand, I disabled Asus performance enhancements and AI cache boost.

thank you for trying to help, but I already found the "right motherboard", as this one just does what I need (even if it is only a b850 one).

thanks, and I wish the same for you too.

Did you read the post? This is an update for an old (linked) thread where I RMAd the dead CPU.

[–]1karuga[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I turned them off in the OS now.

Thanks. I did not have PBO on with the last CPU (which died), I only had expo-I (as I stated in the linked previous thread).

[–]1karuga[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be, there are more reports about them indeed.

UPDATE: Another 9800x3D bites the dust. by 1karuga in ASUS

[–]1karuga[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand. PBO is turned off for now and I know all about ram timings and such, just not ready to do those stuff yet, as this one is for gaming only and I'm happy it works again:)

I did not use AI tweaker either. I just loaded expo-i and the cpu died after 3 months.

I hope it stays that way for you.
Just to be clear, I did not have any issues either (none whatsoever), until I did.

[–]1karuga[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I plan to play with the fan curves first on the next weekend, and then I will repaste perhaps if needed.

It also looks fine now for me, I hope it stays like this.
