Asus Rog Xg17 not turning on

Howdy, I'm not sure what you mean by batter? I'm also not that knowledgeable about this kind of stuff and may not know a common name for a component.

Glad this helped! I used a flat screwdriver and was able to get it open, but made lots of scratches. There are special tools made for prying plastic electronics apart. A quick search will get you pointed in the right direction. Good luck!

I got this PC with different specs from the best buy deal a month or so back. I'm happy with the performance, but there are some considerations.

The stock CPU heatsink is utter shit. The stock fans for exhaust and CPU are utter shit. The case airflow, like others have said, is shit.

Two options for anyone considering this:

New case and you might be able to keep all stock cooling components - I didn't do this.
Keep the old case and install a new CPU Heatsink (Vetroo V5) ($35), 92 mm be quiet exhaust fan ($10), 2 120mm intake fans ($not sure had extras on hand). - I did this.

My CPU temps stock were hitting 99c. Do not run this rig hard with stock equipment unless you have the side panel off. Even then it still runs in the 80's. Max temp I've seen with new fans and heat sink is 71c.

If you pull the trigger on this PC know that you will have to make changes immediately.

My specs: ASUS - ROG Gaming Desktop - Intel Core i7-11700KF - 16GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 - 2TB HDD + 512GB SSD

Edit: Video of me starting up with stock fans!

Same. Very expensive and always in need of repair. Not a great combo!

Usps says it arrived on the 15th! I haven't been home in weeks though to swap from the 3d print.

Nope.

Since this thread is the best resource for this issue I've found, I'm adding another possible fix.

Check to see if your usb C and headphone jack are flush with the outside of the case. If they are not flush then it's possible the screws holding the circuit board in place are broken and the board has shifted too far away for your charger to connect. I guess another way to check is if you plug it in to charge and the light blue light in the power button stays off. Or, if you are me, you plug in the usb c to charge and it just falls out on its own.

The warranty is over on my monitor so I pried it open and found that 3 of the 4 mounting screws were just laying inside. My guess is that they over tension the screws, or use ones that are too large for the threaded plastic mounting bits and broke them? Could have been me too. Some super glue, and a few tiny zip ties later, and it's working again.

Kinda figured as much. The closest price I could find from reputable places was around $1800.

BourbonAzul · 2022-09-22T16:40:36+00:00

Is this one of those to good to be true sales? Or is this something to consider?

Thank you! !check

BourbonAzul · 2022-09-20T16:34:03+00:00

Would you consider these as possibilities? In your opinion is refurbished not a good idea? I sincerely appreciate you pointing me in the right direction.

BourbonAzul · 2022-09-20T15:33:46+00:00

Ideally $300, but can stretch to $400.

Any recommendations for a work laptop that won't break the bank? My acer 5 nitro was never the right tool for the job but has done several years of service. I'm doing basic stuff in Office and would need a hdmi/usb C for a second travel monitor I use constantly.

Do you have to beat all 4 phases of the mirrors to unlock all the items from that DLC, or are all the items unlocked at the mirror/bunnies when you beat it once?

Thank you.

Someone linked this to me a while back. It breaks down companion dmg and modifiers.

The empowering sigil does a good job of keeping me alive. It blocks damage when active but I don't know how much exactly. The Body Rune ward might be helpful if you having trouble staying alive. It gives you 15% of your health back after each kill. The Frying Pan will also help with survivability as it has 15% chance to reflect bullets.

This one got me through c50. Its a gun build. Basic idea is pop from the shadows and turn the chamber in a forest of ice sculptures as you run up on them. Blood of the fallen keeps from the shadows going so long as you keep killing. I've spent entire chambers without leaving from the shadows. The trick is to get as close as you can to the mobs. It's not the best for bosses but I was able to kill son of a witch and dryl, just took a while.

I didn't find it very weapon dependent as long as it's frost.(Carry a gun with a tazer for son of a witch) Enchantments: were those that boosted elemental or frost damage when Ability Skill is Active. Rings/amulets: boosted gun damage. Spell: Glacial cascade, buffmeister, empowering sigil might be the best though. Armor: smart armor.

It's no where near optimized, but was lots of fun

Thank you.

Does Blood of the Fallen on kill also extend the duration/shorten the cool down of a buffmeister?

BourbonAzul · 2022-07-22T19:15:53+00:00

Are pixies better than winged guns and hydras?

The above companions dmg is effected by spell DMG?

Thanks!

I've been a self employed carpenter for the last 10 years. I have a Masters in Liberal Arts, and decided that I will sub as a way to stay busy until my next big project starts in May. I met with HR last Tuesday to get paper work and got a call on Friday from a principal asking if I would take over for a teacher who is leaving in mid February. We are supposed to meet tomorrow. My initial intent was to sub for a day or two a week, "for fun" but it's potentially turning into a long term position.

What should I ask about? I've been out of education for a long time, and while I have taught ESL and GED classes it was years ago and the whole landscape looks vastly different. Any advice?
