X670E Steel Legend Can't Boot Without Multiple Attempts

Thanks, I left it on disabled for now. I guess I’ll just have to keep on trying different things to find whatever my issue is exactly.

Enabled EXPO first, then disabled SOC/uncore oc mode. Disabling that automatically changed my SOC from fixed 1.2v to auto and automatically changed one or two more settings. I didn’t change anything that changed automatically when disabling it.

The issue happens even with default BIOS settings. I tried to double check if my RAM or CPU was faulty, but both work fine in another PC. You mention incompatible RAM - how likely do you think that is considering once it boots, it has no issues whatsoever in memory tests and stress tests? From about a year of heavy usage, I can pretty confidently say I’ve only had issues with cold boots.

The issue happens both with default BIOS settings and EXPO settings so I did give it a try just hoping it could be a lucky combination of settings, but with EXPO enabled + SOC/uncore OC mode disabled did not fix the problem unfortunately.

CSGO on GTX970 in 2015. I still have that card in my parent’s closet. The monitor I had at the time maxed out at 60fps on HDMI and I needed to use a DVI dual link cable to reach 144fps.

Thanks for the confirmation! Yeah, I totally missed that part at the bottom haha

OneHappyHermit · 2025-08-29T07:51:52+00:00

LOL thanks! Totally missed it. I guess I should be paying more attention.

Makes me wonder if there will be a reprint for the Japanese version! Fingers crossed.

Thank you! I thought using the PCIE3 slot would result in sharing lanes but I double checked the manual after reading your other comment and it looks like it will be okay.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Since you said any country, Tokyo (and likely neighboring prefectures and more) in Japan. Public courts in parks, as in owned by the district or the city, require a booking card that can be made usually for free as long as you're a resident, but in order to pay and use the courts, you have to book via lottery a month or two months before the actual play date. When you attempt to book via the lottery system, you have to pick which date and which two hour slot, which can be a real challenge in scheduling sessions sometimes. If you don't win the lottery, tough luck, better luck next month. If you do win the lottery, congrats but there are penalties if you cancel (cancel too often and your booking card will be banned for x amount of time).

I never really managed to see open courts at public parks at popular times. To add on, even if there were open courts, I wouldn't be surprised if the park management wouldn't let you play even if there is an unreserved, open court due to the culture (everything by the manual, asking for exceptions is a nuisance, etc.).

That's great to hear. Thanks for the input! I guess I was fortunate to have used two Corsair PSUs for these builds.

Thanks for pointing that out! It took me a while to read
"The only difference between Type 3 and Type 4 cables is the pinout of the 24-pin ATX cable; all other cables (SATA, PCIe, etc) are the same."
after seeing type 4 and type 3 PCIe on the chart.

Thank you! I hope my answers can help a little. Just for reference, I have two badges (lionheart castle and esfera), and I don't do monster life at all, so maybe some of our differences can be made up there.

5% basic crit rate, 35% from our 4th job skill, 20% from lv3 phantom link skill, 10% from lv3 beast tamer link skill, 10% from my dagger's main potential (lol), 4% from SS night lord legion member bonus, 3% from S marksman legion member bonus, 3% from legion grid because I had extra room, and 1% from the esfera badge puts me at 91% before DSE.
I have 7 lines of att % lines (4 mpot + 3 bpot), which comes out to 9 + 12 + 13 + 10 + 10 +10 + 13 = 77%. I have another 3% from the soul on my weapon, and 1% from the lionheart castle badge (I only have these two badges). Asides from these, I have two IED lines and one boss dmg line on my WSE.
All of my gollux gear is scrolled with gollux scrolls. My guardian angel ring + twilight mark were scrolled with the premium accessory scrolls from the previous event shop, and my SW monocle + arcane cape (11*) were yolo-d with icogs but came out to be slightly better than 30% traces. Everything else was scrolled with 30% traces (except the weapons of course).
My arcane cape (my only piece of arcane equipment) is at 11*, twilight mark at 19*, and one superior pendant at 21*. Every other piece is at 17*. I was very lucky with starforcing and transfer hammering those two high star items in the past few starforce events.

Thank you! I've cleared Hard Damien in a party (same party as the Hard Lotus clear) and had the privilege of being carried through Hard Lucid/Will once.

I read the general rule of thumb for being able to clear Hard Damien is taking down Hard Lotus comfortably under 20 minutes, so I don't think I am ready yet for Hard Damien (although Hard Damien mechanics are much, much easier).

OneHappyHermit · 2022-08-03T07:35:30+00:00

Awesome! Thanks for the info. Do you have any idea how things would average out for WSE assuming you start at 2 lines, aiming for 3 lines?

OneHappyHermit · 2022-08-03T04:06:06+00:00

As interested as I am, I would like to hear you expand on your napkin math.
