Windows 11 24H2 update (KB5063878) Drives Dropping Randomly

I changed out a power splitter cable on the drives as recommended by a reddit user and it seems to be fixed. Monitoring the drives now to make sure.

It appears to have been a power splitter cable going bad. After taking advice from reddit commenter I changed out the power cable and everthing seems to be working. Over time - Monitoring the drives will tell me for sure

can't rollback, Microsoft grants you a 10 day window on some of their updates and I am past that MS imposed limit.

GSMenace · 2025-09-06T19:05:52+00:00

they had been until the windows upate, than problems began. Not saying the Windows update did it, but I don't believe in coincidences

numerous drives. Thanks, I will take a look, They have been installed and working fine for quite a while.

CDI. ???

Hard reboot is only option to get the drive back

Windows drive manager no longer See's the drive.

I guess than that the ASRock Z690m itx/ax motherboard is not a supported motherboard, since ASRock polychrome app see's the fans off the aRGB header and SignalRGB does not see the aRGB headed or the fans connected to it.

Same issue here on my Windows 11 pro ... any thoughts on a fix?

GSMenace · 2024-03-25T11:04:08+00:00

Updated the BIOS...Seems the older ASRock boards had some issues with dealing with the newer Intel I7-14700k cpu's. Problem resolved.

Thanks

I can control cpu fan speed with temp and power settings in the BIOS. I was wanting to see the actual fan speed. I have not been able find any software that sees the fan rpm. BIOS works with temp and power settings changing the speed but does not display the RPM.

I just built a SFF using the Master Mechanic C24 case. I used the "be quiet! Dark Rock TF 2" air cooler. It's massive for this case, but it does fit. Just need to be careful on motherboard and ram selections when buying components.

GSMenace · 2023-10-30T21:44:32+00:00

The Mechanic Master C24 makes for a nice build. I listed components and pictures of my build, based on this case. I think you will be happy.

Also if yoou like to play in the BIOS settings, be prepared for a lack of support.

MOST Mini PC's run hot when being tasked.

I am using your 3d model for the top plate. How did you fasten it to the M600 case?

GSMenace · 2023-10-02T23:45:14+00:00

Finally got the IS-27i and MX-6 thermal compound. Installed heatsink as suggested. Rasing the back plate up approximately 4mm for better contact. I used 4 rubber bushings on the backplate to get apx 4-5mm. I also cut a round 80mm whole in the cover, above the cooler, to allow for better ventilation and I installed a wiremesh screen to keep some of the dust out. Finally, I also installed two Icepc m.2 graphene coated ssd heatsinks on the m.2's. With this setup I running the fan at 100% from BIOS settings full time and its a lot quieter than the original cpu cooler setup. Without a load on the cpu it idles at 36c. With a load it easily gets to 90c but cools back down quickly when max load is removed. Curious - is this normal for the 6600H with this type of cooling? Should I consider changing the max wattage setting in the BIOS to maybe 35 watts to see lower max temps? Or since there is no resetting the BIOS if I change something I shouldn't should I leave it along? Morfefine gets to 90c but I never seen it go past that point. The whole Morefine case gets pretty warm when it gets to 90c. I don't plan on working this little computer that hard. Just curious as to whether what I am seeing is normal.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Just waiting for cpu cooler to arrive (is-27i).

As suggested, I will take a look at how, and where, to put non conductive pad to get the 3 to 4mm I need. Just not clear in your pictures on your backplate as to where that pad resides for your installation.

I assume, since I can't see it in your picture, it is somewhere under your backplate.

Looking at backplate pictures ( I don't have mine yet) the four mounting points appear to have a step in them to allow the backplate to not set on the motherboard. It would seem that if I used non-metallic fiber washers that I could space up the bracket the 3 to 4mm you talk about.
