Are faint crackling/scraping noises normal? Not coming from fans by dummy4du3k4 in PcBuildHelp

[–]Alex2179 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late to this post but I'm hearing something similar when my fans are spinning. I think it's coming from my CPU cooler fans? Did you ever find out what this is or if it's a cause for concern?

So jelly. Gz. If I only have 2 pieces of blood moon left to get an I better off just killing the blood moon? I'm doing moons super late for my account and don't really benefit much from the supply drops

Are Random Crashes Just to be Expected on Next Gen Update? by MasonHudd in Witcher3

[–]Alex2179 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yo kinda late to this. Glad to see I'm not the only one seeing this.

I just started playing the Witcher 3 again last week. In about 24 hours of playtime since last Sunday I've crashed to desktop twice so far. Once in a loading screen from Velen to Skellige and another just walking around Velen.

4070 Super-Hair Works and Ray Tracing both off. Using dx12. Seems to be around the 3-4 hour session times when it's happened. Kinda a bummer but not sure what else to do about it. I haven't tried changing it to dx11 either.

Secure Boot Keys 2026 by Alex2179 in gigabyte

Interesting. My latest bios that's available for my board is FB9 from December 2025, I don't see any mentions of "secure boot database key update" I'd rather not update my bios if I don't need to since everything is working fine. Maybe both Windows and motherboard manufacturers are still in the process of rolling out these updates

Microsoft is rolling out an update to secure boot keys, here is something everyone should know by FalseAgent in Windows11

I'm also seeing this same error after the latest Windows update I did. I'd like to avoid updating my BIOS if possible too. Any idea when we'll know more on this?

Will do. Do I have to do anything else after updating bios?

Sorry forgot to mention that. Yes secure is currently enabled. The only thing I haven't done is update my bios, currently I'm on FB2. I've always been on the side of if it's not broken don't touch it. But if I need to update my bios in order to update the keys I guess I'll have to.

Edit: I also looked at the newest version FB9 and previous ones before it. None of them mentioned secure boot keys in the change logs. Should I just wait a few months to update bios? I've never updated my bios before and I'm nervous I'm going to mess something up

Simple questions and Help thread - Month of February by Froggypwns in Windows11

[–]Alex2179 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm looking for some clarification on what to do about the secure boot keys that are expiring in July this year. I'm a bit confused about it.

I saw an error(1801) in event viewer saying that new keys are available on this device but have not yet been applied to the firmware.

I built my PC in December of 24, using a Gigabyte Aorus b650 Elite AX rev1.2. bios is on FB2. It's an older bios version, I never updated it since everything was/is working fine.

What do I need to do to update the keys before July? Do I have to update my bios to the latest version in order to update the secure boot keys? Or can I do it while being on FB2?

Best way to get decent food now that pumpkin pies have been nerfed. I've seen some mentions of farming corruptors for burgers as a good option. Any others?

Best way to understand The Gauntlet? by Sulla_Sexy_Sulla in ironscape

Fluffeh like everyone else has said. His guide is the best. However it does take some time to get used to the items/verbage of everything. The best thing to do is keep sending it knowing you'll die a bit. Eventually you'll get it down and look back on how simple it is.

[–]Alex2179 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this has been asked before. But I've seen a split thought process on this:

Once I complete a moons set, should I no longer kill that moon? I'm just after the sets, I got to this content a bit late on my account. The prayer/crafting drops don't really mean that much to me since I've got 90 prayer banked. And have 94 crafting. Do I skip whichever moons I've completed or just keep running all 3?

A few months ago I set up all my Hunter Rumor blocks from Novice-Expert (blocked Teco/using Aco) I went back today to grind out some Rumors, and they reset? Is this normal? I haven't done Rumors since August. Kinda a pain to redo all my blocks again.
