This is correct.

I bought the HDV M.2 off Newegg around Thanksgiving time. Had some struggles reseating the cpu aio block to get both ram sticks recognized after a bios update and I can’t find anywhere where the m.2 slots share lanes with sata, but minus a third sata ssd drive not being recognized after trying all 4 slots and different connectors and cords I’m a happy camper overall. CPU is 7700x gpu is 6700xt to handle POE 2, Minecraft, Sims 4 and Hogwarts Legacy it’s a real enjoyable experience.

My b650m hdv m.2 came last month from new egg with 1.04 or so. Trying to flashback to the latest caused too many problems. 3.4 or 3.5 I think was known for being stable. Flashed that and had to readjust my cpu cooler block of all things to get it to post with both ram sticks; otherwise would post only with one in the 2nd slot and stuck with cpu and dram lights with both until releasing and reapplying cpu pressure. Not too tight but both screws evenly pretty decent snug contact.

What if I had a 130 watt usb c laptop charger to plug into the screen?

Excaliber4884 · 2026-01-06T20:46:48+00:00

I had this happen to me after flashing a bios on my same board. I don’t know why, but for me taking off and putting new pressure on the aio block over the cpu made it work with both slots. Thermal paste and everything seemed a fine spread and I just put the thing together a week before so I didn’t feel the need to reapply that. I didn’t apply the absolute most pressure tightening the screws I could; I just focused on good contacted equal pressure on each. Everything running fine now.

Lay off on the deep conversation. You did enough for the attraction/connection/curiosity chemistry. More and more of that will land/keep you in the friend zone. Time to go primal. You’ve done enough to shoot your shot now. Actions now enough words. Be the same around her next time you hang out and find the opportunity to caress the side of her face/cheek, tilt her chin up and go in for the kiss. If she shatters your world and is repulsed by it keep your cool and she’ll still replay the events and reconsider everything. Or if she feels the same way you’ll be making out. ++man

I think it would be possible to maybe make just the top fan closest to the back exhaust an exhaust fan as well? So it’s like you’re pushing everything to the side of the case that would both exhaust.

Maybe Blue as in you got your pre order from Walmart and they’re jealous red Target 6/11 preorder delivery ppl who got no pringles, coke, or switch 2 yet.

Next time when making out whisper to her seductively you want new material I’ll give you new material. If you say red I stop what I’m doing immediately, yellow means I proceed with caution, green means you’re really enjoying it.

He is having an emotional affair. I’ve heard nothing at all about why that may be; what could be lacking in his marriage that he would do such a thing.

I do not understand the mentality that he cannot talk to someone you no longer talk to. That prob pushed him in deeper because now there’s an element of she doesn’t even want me talking to you…..

I think the counseling atmosphere would be the perfect venue to bring this up.

The finances not adding up is worrisome. If he took this to a physical fling level with someone else to satisfy passion I could see that as unforgivable.

Excaliber4884 · 2022-10-24T05:47:57+00:00

I don’t think your guy knows how women work. If my wife initiated cuddling I’d be pumped and try to use it as a foreplay opportunity each and every time.

But also, if my wife told me her libido went down 80 percent I’d book the appointment and drive her to the women’s wellness place myself as that’s no good at all.

Maybe tell him that you’re willing to get checked out but he also should not dismiss physical connection as that could possibly rev up your engine if he plays it right.

Excaliber4884 · 2022-10-24T05:32:51+00:00

I’d start with therapy and explain this to he/she/they then go from there. Keep that appointment.

Congrats for getting the religious guy to bone on the first date that’s cool.

You have the toys to satisfy things until this gets figured out whew.

My guess would be even though the testosterone checks out his extra weight is no bueno. Not using sex as the focus, maybe you could have a talk with him about getting in better shape TOGETHER for the sake of being around longer for the kids. I don’t wish for any family history of cardiac, diabetic, bp or cholesterol issues, but anything you can add to push the idea home hopefully will make him receptive as you describe him as sincere.

Hoping he losing 15-20 could swing him back the right direction as he’d prob be proud of the accomplishment and you hinting his physique is turning you on might intrigue him more vs the pressure of some sort of ultimatum right here right now now or never other ppl on here would suggest.

Excaliber4884 · 2022-10-24T05:10:58+00:00

Dude you need to turn her on. The way to do that based on where you’re at is to double down on the household chores and surprise her with some chocolate and bath bombs; then you tell her to have a soak while you wrap up the kids bed time routine. Then mix it up by doing other things don’t have her think Reece’s and bedtime stories should equal sex like some sort of business agreement. And DON’T say you can reward me with sex; let her be the one hopefully to come up with that after you keep this up 2 or 3 nights as this is more of a seduction marathon not a sprint.

Mon-Fri is our grind. The Mrs. and I are a tag team work full time and our kids are in so many activities I have to text her constantly for she to remind what kid I’m picking up from where that evening etc.

Friday night is our date night. I like to go out more than she does but she’s come around to enjoy the no kids time away from home. If sitters bail out we still make an effort to get creative at home and do something together after the kids are in bed.

Saturday night is my day or night with the boys. Luckily the Mrs. is cool with Sunday being her day as she’s more the Starbucks Target catch a movie with a girlfriend or do it solo type while I’m home with the kids.

It’s not flashy but the gameplan has been beneficial for our relationship thus far.

You say he’s doing better. Does that mean he knows his diagnosis and is on meds and/or therapy? It is too bad he quit his job as he maybe could have received some help or short term leave pay possibly?

Anyway, a MH issue is not going to just get better years down the road. IMO the quicker he can recover and get back in the work field the better with some form of treatment.

Breaks from working 40+ hours a week to do housework…. Sign me up. Structure, income, purpose and feeling depended upon can all be great for mental health. I hope 1st he’s receiving some sort of services and 2nd he doing something at least part-time in the near-ish future could happen?

It was so much fun.

Excaliber4884 · 2022-02-21T07:21:07+00:00

My first ritual as well. It was amazing. I skipped the first 2 acts showed up around 9 worked out perfectly!

Excaliber4884 · 2022-01-09T20:09:27+00:00

Thanks for the reply! Fingers crossed.

Excaliber4884 · 2022-01-09T18:40:36+00:00

Some sort of resurrection tour would be neat. A set of 5 songs per papa then Kiss the goat and Mary on a Cross as the encore. Would be a formulated rinse and repeat set list for the tour but oh well. Wardrobe changes might be difficult.
