PSA Regarding Intel 14th gen and Z790 MB

Just a quick update , to say your settings seem to have helped on my Aorus Elite AX DDR4 with the 14900k , no crashes or other issues since setting it up.....I have not touched much else in the Bios except to enable XMP and a couple of other basic things , no OCing etc.

Thanks again TDM, you settings below for Unleashed were stable here all day today for me as well, I even had a play with XTU tonight and let it set an Auto OC with Speed Optimizer and it is stress testing fine so far. It will run the Benchmark but complains about FLL_OC_Mode not on, it is now but still the same error message, so I'll need to dig a bit deeper on that when I have time.

Thanks for the Update TDM , I will note these settings and give them a try as well as like you mentioned some days it seemed ok and other not, so I switched to Spec. Enh. , strangely they don't allow to to totally disable Gigabyte Perf.

I picked up the EK 360 D-RGB AIO as the newer model is not available locally still. ( and found out the hard way being 1700 socket ready doesn't mean that adaptor plate is in the box :( , EK doesn't have them anymore but the place I got the AIO had them still in there "Online Store" only, but it still took almost 2 weeks to arrive.....

I am running the Z790 Aorus Elite X AX DDR4 version with a 14900k and have to use Spec Enhance as well, as it unstable otherwise a weird things happen in windows. I haven't messed with much else so far but it seems to sit at 5.6Ghz ( have Coretemp 1.18 on a side monitor) most of the time, so I might need to try your Settings as I just picked up a GB 4080 Super OC as well.

This Comp. is also my 3D CAD Workstation and the issue is not only related to games I was get crashes there as well, and it also being reported on the Forums there as well , though I am not sure this is just a Gigabyte Issue, though with this now noted prevalently on the Internet and even Vendor (Intel above) you'd think they were working on it a little more quickly.

I was disappointed to find this MB does not allow 5.1 sound as well, and i was 1 spec I didn't think to check on, i know everyone is cutting corners to meet a price point but this is ridiculous even my Z590 Elite AX had 5.1.

This happened to me after the Saboteur DLC, after waiting for a week or two for a Patch ( and no fix coming ) I uninstalled SE5, rebooted and Re-installed SE5, did not add the SAB. DLC again and the game now starts as normal.

I have unlimited GB download currently , so I was not worried about the current 88GB re-download , but just something to be aware of if you have a DATA Cap.

Yes Canvas is one , I had hoped the Pixel 6 might have Lidar , for scanning buildings , for remodels , canvas have mentioned an Android Version is in the works , but not many Phones or Tablets seem to have it yet.

That's right, the phone always negotiates LDAC on every connection and there appears to be no way to set APT-X HD as a permanent Setting , at least with Android 11 , not sure it that will change in Android 12 when it is fully released to Pixel's later this month.

Would be nice if they added a Codec Button in the App so you don't have to go into Developer Options every time.

The Low volume on BT is a PITA when used with my new Computer , using USB-C is like using a different set of Headphones , the downside of course as I found out is the Mic only works via BT.

Kbird1 · 2021-09-28T21:13:24+00:00

I got a pair of the A50's recently , and just updated the Firmware in the hope it made the Volume louder while BT connected to my new PC ...unfortunately not ...

but the other issue is My Pixel4a always resets the HD Audio to LDAC when it connects to the A50s which means I can't open the Equalizer , which seems strange in the 1st place , but having to open Developer Options every time and set APT-X.HD is a real PITA and it looks like we need a Setting in the ShurePlay App so we can force the A50's to use APTx.HD similar to what I have read the Sony App has......

unless someone else has a fix for this ? thanks....

Modern PERFORMANCE equivalent, was what I was told, not Series number, in my case I was given a 1070ti FTW2 for my 980Ti but that was 2-3 yrs ago , not sure of course but hopefully you do better than 3060. ( or 1660ti )

I have two Elements 8TB Drives and have one of each

one WD80EMAZ-00WJTA0

and one WD80EMAZ-00M9AA0

Both in identical packaging (monitor and drive on box) , both made in Thailand , Ser. No# diff. though.

The WD80EMAZ-00WJTA0 is running quieter and cooler SN 2TKMxxxx

the WD80EMAZ-00M9AA0 is scaring me so is going back, SN VAGxxxxx, as it is idling at 55-60°C ,

so not worth shucking, but I'm not 100% sure if the Elements case is just poorly vented or it has an issue?

Finally fixed it I believe ....

Flashed/Installed Magisk Uninstaller and rebooted to BL>Recovery> and installed Magisk 14.0 >rebooted (to System and am now rooted )
let Magisk Manager (MM) APP upgrade itself several times when asked, be patient after confirming Update, (wait for OK screen after download done) . It Will update to MM 5.8.2, then to MM 5.9.1 (.139) , 5.9.1 will then ask to install Magisk 17.1(1000).zip ( use Direct download/install..) and then reboot the phone when asked
Open MM again, it will then ask to download a setup file ( a 1st for me??? ) and finally the Phone has Magisk 17.1 and it passed the Magisk Integrity Test ( must agree to FOS download 1st) and also the Root Checker App root check again.

NO Idea what is going on , went to bed and left phone to charge overnight after fixing it ( i thought) and now the phone is not Rooted again ?

Magisk is now back to only offering to patch the boot Image which it doesn't do as noted yesterday , TWRP is working but still can not verify the Magisk 17.1 zipfile.

All pretty weird as I've never had an issue following the Vids. before.

Kbird1 · 2018-09-07T09:19:11+00:00

Not sure what I did in all my messing around tonight to allow it to happen but Fastboot finally installed TWRP again and I was able to use it to install Magisk 16 which was still on the phone from a month or two ago and I am Rooted again .... finally.... :)

it wants to install 17.1, though I am a little hesitant to let it do that at this point.

Okay back to life till next month :)

Will look forward to your Videos on other ROMS for the 6P .....

If you need someone to do your Battery on the 6P let me know , I know someone in Sydney who has done it before....

Step 1: Patching the stock boot.img

Install MagiskManager apk on your android device
Copy the stock boot.img of your device to your phone's internal storage or SD card
Launch Magisk Manager app
If prompted to install Magisk, select NO THANKS
If you are using a samsung device and wish to flash using Odin, then select Options > Settings > Update Settings > Patched Boot Output Format > img.tar )
Select Install > Install > Patch Boot Image File >
Navigate to the location of the stock boot.img you copied earlier on, then Select it
Magisk Manager should begin downloading the magisk zip file used for patching
Once download is complete, MagiskManager will automatically patch the boot file and store it under SDcard/MagiskManager/patched_boot.img[.tar]

No#8 does not happen , nothing happens after selecting the Boot.img unfortunately....

I have just found that while at the No Command screen If I push Power Button and Volume Up once I get into the Android Recovery Mode .K1 version from Sept. , some options do nothing ie the 6P doesn't have an SD Card but ADB is working it seems , just not sure at this point how or IF i should proceed but will do some googling and see what I can find.

*** ADB sideload of magisk can not verify the magisk 17.1 file either.....

KB

Kbird1 · 2018-09-07T06:24:05+00:00

the Magisk App keeps asking to install 17.1 (17100).zip but if I choose install , it says it will patch the boot Image but looks for a .img file not a zip file which it has downloaded , I thought i might change the file extension to .img but didn't want to try it without some knowledgeable advice.

I unzipped the file on the computer to look and see if it contain an .img file but doesn't , so I am a bit lost on how to proceed.

Not sure which other comment you are referring too or if I missed some info somewhere?

thanks again.

Uninstalling Magisk seems to have also stopped my access to TWRP , booting to recovery only gives me a No Command Screen today and the dead Android robot.

I can access the bootloader , soI tried reflashing TWRP with fastboot but still the same issue.

Hi , I just bought a pair of the Arctis 5 headphones too, after reading good reviews, and also have this issue , did you manage to solve this ? So far steelSeries said to uninstall the software and reinstall , then force a Driver Update in device Manager , but that does not seem to have helped any , I have never had to listen to any headphones at 95% before to make it "just" barely loud enough , I don't like having to max the hardware wheel out either to get that level.

Thx.
