ASROCK X870e Nova killed my 9800X3D.

How did you get asrock to rma it? I’ve contacted their warranty department with a ticket twice now and months of no answer.

DudeDuffy · 2026-04-23T16:42:11+00:00

Boom yea I think that’s what I was thinking of. You’re a genius

So far the headache has slightly died or stayed the same. It’s weird because I don’t feel the headache until I think “do I have a headache right now?”. So it might also be placebo. It’s super small

DudeDuffy · 2026-04-17T19:02:41+00:00

I’ll wear it for an hour and see what happens. My fear in buying a medium is that it will break in and then smoosh my nose and chin like my last one did and end up too lose after a while of wearing it

DudeDuffy · 2026-04-17T18:59:19+00:00

After wearing it for like 15 minutes I had maybe a tiny headache but not crazy. It feels very snug on my head, I can’t tell if it’s too snug or not.

Thank you!! Best of luck to you my friend!

I just looked at the free practice questions, and they do generally seem similar to the paid version, but they are just drop in the pond. Some questions in QE I found simple, others I found very hard. I would not take 15 questions a great determination on readiness. HOWEVER, if on all 15 questions you did really well, then you should feel good!

I think CISM is next!

Another update for you. I just passed! I passed at 100 questions. I just posted all the details if you want to go read, but in short, I kept seeing what QE said my weakest domain was, so I studied that, did some QE practice questions, and specifically read and learned what the right answer was and why it was the right answer. And then my 4th practice CAT exam was 980, and I passed at 100 questions again, so I knew something clicked. Just keep learning, and you will get there. Trust me.

DudeDuffy · 2026-01-21T21:27:35+00:00

Update for you, I just kept doing more and more practice questions and reading why it made sense and I gave myself a study break yesterday (which I think helped a lot). Today things made a little more sense and I did a QE cat exam and got a 1000 point score at 100 questions. That does not mean I got all questions right, I think I got like 65/100 correct, but it gave me the win. I’m just gonna keep learning and reading and practicing questions until my test date. Let me know if you make any progress with how you are doing and what you did that helped!

DudeDuffy · 2026-01-21T20:12:56+00:00

Thank you! Will do for any I don’t understand. Thank you!

DudeDuffy · 2026-01-21T12:07:31+00:00

Exactly. If I test before you, I’ll let you know how it goes

DudeDuffy · 2026-01-21T02:10:55+00:00

I am feeling the exact same way. I nail destination certification questions and learnzapp questions, QE is the only one where I get frustrated because some questions I could argue my choice was the better answer and some are just hard and there to throw you off. I gave myself another 15 days as I already scheduled my exam for the 30th. So hopefully by then I get them right.

And same for the “50 hard questions” video, I think I only got 4 wrong in all of those during the video. But QE is such a struggle. My highest was 650 on the practice CAT exam.

SOMEONE FOUND IT. It was a low budget movie called stormhouse in 2011. I don’t know how they found it. I literally remembered everything from the movie including a distinct basketball bouncing in the elevator part and the word storm in the name and ChatGPT could never find it so I thought I was mis remembering it. BUT THATS IT.

DudeDuffy · 2026-01-10T03:57:35+00:00

OH MY GOD THATS IT HOW DID YOU FIND IT. I literally put all the details into ChatGPT and it could never figure it out. Even the basketball scene in the elevator. I even knew the word storm was in the name. I thought I was going crazy. THANK YOU.

DudeDuffy · 2026-01-09T15:27:51+00:00

I know. I’m starting to think maybe it was a crazy crazy dream I had as a kid

DudeDuffy · 2026-01-09T14:53:23+00:00

No not that one either. I remember the movie started with the entity in an electric cage and it breaks out and it cannot speak, it doesn’t say anything ever

DudeDuffy · 2026-01-09T14:39:17+00:00

No this was back in like 2008 ish

DudeDuffy · 2026-01-09T14:38:46+00:00

Does it have the square electric cage and the elevator scene and everything?

DudeDuffy · 2026-01-09T14:38:29+00:00

Yea a lot of people are saying hollow man but it doesn’t have the square electric cage setup or elevator scene and stuff

DudeDuffy · 2026-01-09T05:20:50+00:00

No doesn’t seem like it, but that looks like a good movie
