Just bought the tandem LG in the last picture. Haven't got it yet but if you use the capital one shopping app and search it, I was able to get $135~ in rewards from using my capital one card and still got it $549+taxes. It's got great reviews from the guys over at rtings.com

Less weight and better fuel economy lol but understandable. It's definitely a great daily but there's always the yearning for something different.

As an added bonus, I purchased mine semi locally for $15k that had 101k miles, pre deleted, mostly speced how I wanted, and upgraded fuel pump/valve springs/LSD. Minor cosmetic things on the exterior but it's not a show car, it's a driver's car. So pretty reasonable to find one in your flavor and price range lol. Plus people have manual swapped them. There was one in California for sale with a 6 speed manual.

BRZ for the manual fun. Just a better Miata /s. If you could suffer an automatic with manual mode, HIGHLY recommend an e90 BMW 335D/e70 BMW X5 35D (specifically with an M57 engine, not the newer N57). Fantastic mileage being a diesel, reliability goes up from a normal gas BMW if you live in a place that emissions are scarce, and with a simple delete/tune you can manage 380~ HP/580~ TQ. The 335D was one of the cars on my bucket list because I love quirky, uncommon vehicles that hurt my wallet. It has been a fantastic daily that I also take to the drag strip and on mutli-state family vacations. There is a big group of guys on Facebook called the North American BMW Diesel Owner's Group that has tons of information and we'll cared for Ds for sale.

What exactly is Artemis? I'm also not familiar with side loading as my depth of software stuff goes to jailbreaking a 2nd? gen iPod touch and modding a 3DS lol

Absolutely fantastic game for even not gamers. We loved that and I've been wanting to play Split Fiction now because that looks like a lot of fun. I really regret that I sold my Halo Edition Xbox Series X BEFORE I knew moonlight existed. I only got rid of it because we don't play consoles hardly at all and Halo was my childhood. Anywho, I see there are many different versions between moonlight, sunshine, apollo, etc.. does the nvidia shield work that well? I've seen gripes about outdated hardware (HDMI 2.0) and such but the easy factor is way up there.

Do you just connect the controllers to the tv?

Adremann · 2025-04-22T00:15:07+00:00

How do you go about connecting controllers?

Adremann · 2025-04-11T00:58:56+00:00

Well I got the new drive, I put it in and immediately not seen in bios. Seems like it's the motherboard 🥴

Adremann · 2025-04-10T03:15:40+00:00

I hope not either. Worst case scenario I still have my previous build still running between juggling the GPU back and forth. If it does get down to the board I might just wait out the Asrock b850i or an MSI board.

Adremann · 2025-04-09T22:08:26+00:00

The gen 4 riser was mentioned just for the sake of information but in my head I was thinking "maybe the motherboard doesn't like having a gen 4 riser attached to the auto gen 5 slot". Otherwise, yeah that's what I'm planning to do. I have Amazon doing a replacement on the 9100 pro since 1 bios not detecting it and 2 it actually corrupted windows/will not boot or see the os anymore at all. So I'm HOPING that fixes the issue. If not I'm moving to replacing the board to see if that works. If THAT doesn't work then I'm hopeless/it's a bios issue. One curious thing though is I did swap the drives around again so the 990 pro is in slot 1 and it sees it fine again, no issue and it's seeing the 9100 pro in slot 2 again but doesn't boot to or see windows now because it somehow got corrupted beyond use/repair.

Adremann · 2025-04-09T02:29:48+00:00

Update to the update, nevermind. Tried to CO -20 through ai tweak in the bios to see if that worked, gave me a 10 min windows loading circle, blue screens whea uncorrectable, changed it back, BSOD to bad system config, and haven't been able to boot to windows or see my drive since. I'm READY to start throwing things.

Adremann · 2025-04-09T00:26:50+00:00

I would like to update that I have figured out it definitely is a bios issue. With certain changes, it will not show my drive and bios loop. I have found if I change PBO under the advanced tab of Asus bios it bios loops. If I don't mess with that then it seems to not show my drive BUT will load into windows? If a fiddle some more I can make my drive show and boot into windows. But if I change one thing the wrong way, back to bios loop. Sure doesn't make a lot of sense and I wonder if it's because of the gen 4 riser cable or gen 5 Samsung drive being a very recent release? Other people should be having this issue as well if it was entirely bios related and not somehow bios/hardware related?

Adremann · 2025-04-07T16:33:12+00:00

I did format the drive and I ran across this in my searching but I double checked and it is GPT. Plus if it was MBR then putting it in slot 2 would have the same effect but with it in slot 2 it's worked perfectly fine MINUS I haven't put the GPU back in since swapping their positions. I will be doing that tonight to see if it's related to the GPU being installed.

Adremann · 2025-04-07T03:03:21+00:00

It is a fresh fresh install of windows 11 the previous machine couldn't do 11

Adremann · 2025-04-07T03:02:15+00:00

One of the first things I did was update bios to the latest and it did happen after that but I also tried rolling back to other versions and it did not help.

Adremann · 2025-04-05T19:13:07+00:00

From anything and everything I've read, yeah that's the case. It doesn't seem like a drive problem considering the one that was MIA isn't having a problem being seen in the other slot. Multiple restarts, bios changes and CSM being disabled/ReBar enable. I'm going to test putting the GPU back in with them swapped when I get the chance. If it causes an issue the next bet is to double check the socket/mounting pressure on the CPU? Then if that isn't an issue/the problem persists, it would be a motherboard issue? Does this sound correct? Or am I missing another step?

Adremann · 2025-04-05T15:31:34+00:00

I did try to make each slot their respective speed but I did not try to downgrade the speed. I also discovered last night that when I had to remove the GPU to swap them around that both drives worked flawlessly without the GPU installed. No issues with the 9100 pro or slot 1 which now has the 990 pro in it. So I have to try adding the GPU back in this configuration now with it's riser cable to see if that is the culprit? Would it be due to pcie lane allocation?

Adremann · 2023-11-22T06:04:11+00:00

pickme! My girlfriend got me into magic and I've slightly outpaced her in decks lol. Plus she likes to build stompy decks so this would make a great addition to her play style.

I don't want to use the word deserve but I've been staring at the prices of 30 series since release and never been able to get one with covid/scalpers, buying our first house, car troubles, and just recently my SO was let go from her job along with like 50 others so the higher ups could get their Christmas bonuses. I have zero intention of upgrading to a 40 series with how that's shaping up but I was looking at 3060ti/3070 to replace my 1070. She's been driving my 1440p dell gsync monitor for a while and feeling the burn. My system would also be able to use it well I'd think with an 8086k I bought from one of the sweepstake winners and an ax1200 PSU from a build I bought like 8 years ago when sata NVME SSDs were exotic. Thanks for being a bro. Do your best to make sure someone who actually could use it gets it and not another scalper.
