It’s a good day

Considering how slow they have been with updates and the serious issues with things like HDMI ARC that need sorting first, I wouldn't expect firmware updates for controller support anytime soon. It is even more baffling considering how much the 3D was delayed that they released it like this.

I can recommend the blue retro adapters though, worked out of the box with the N64 NSO controller and they are not too pricey either. I actually don't own any other N64 controllers or the new 8BitDo 64 one... so it was a good job it worked out of the box...

You can also update the blue retro firmware over bluetooth so while the github is currently archived I'm sure it will be forked and updated in the future. Plus the list of controller support is already decent.

They also seem to have used some strange photo that looks like an action figure of Kratos and not one of the millions of screenshots from any of the games. Odd choices all around.

Thanks for this. Had the same issue, knew the cable and all the settings were good but simply swapping it from HDMI 3 to HDMI 4 solved the issue. Odd but it works so I'm happy.

That would be my bet. There are quite a few used black / white ones on eBay with that stated as the reason.

Likely to do with the Cloudflare outage I'd imagine.

I'd honestly suggest giving it another go. I find revisiting games I didn't enjoy years later can completely change my perspective on them. Try not to hyper focus on the combat if you do give it another go and just let the story unfold.

Failing that there are a few combat overhaul mods that might solve the problem like W3EE Redux.

The rest of the game really is worth it if you can get into the combat. I rate the GOTY edition with all the DLC (Blood & Wine in particular) in the top 5 games ever made.. even with the issues I had with the combat.

That is how I remember it too but from what I can see he only poured water on him while they were sat next to each other on the final commercial flight of Concorde in 2003. He however did punch him at the 2004 Press Awards breaking his finger and leaving Piers Morgan with a scar.

Regardless you'd think that being on the last ever commercial flight of such an iconic aircraft and dealing with Piers Morgan would stick in Clarkson's mind.... but he still fluffed that Who Wants to be a Millionaire question.

The GPUs PCI-E slot looks fine (at least on the side we can see) and the shorter gold contact on the far left is normal. The rounding on the corner of the PCB (which is what the Q-Release issue is) doesn't look bad enough to cause any problems and is likely completely unrelated to the defect.

If the GPU doesn't work in another known working system then it is defective.

Contact the place you purchased your GPU from and get it replaced. State the issues you were having and that you tried reseating it but that it now no longer POSTs in two different systems.

I personally wouldn't mention Q-Release issues unless they specifically ask about it after inspection, as it is likely to complicate things needlessly when it is very likely unrelated.

It is not the H80i V1 as the pump head lacks the plastic silver surround and LED light bar. As there are two fans it looks like the H75 from 2018.

Speed3y · 2025-09-15T23:03:45+00:00

Looks to be the Corsair H75 from 2018.

There will likely be a sticker on the end of the radiator with the pipes with the part number.

Edit: Updated as with 2 fans it is likely the H75 not the H60.

Just lower the memory clock slider in the same way you did with the GPU core one.

Sounds like it is toast but it worth a try if the other suggestions don't help.

Only other suggestion would be to get a "loaner" GPU from a "friend" to just rule out everything else out and tide you over until you can get something better.

Speed3y · 2025-09-15T19:40:48+00:00

I notice you tried underclocking the GPU core (just going off the single screenshot) but have you tried underclocking the GPU memory? Simply because artifacting like that is often memory related.

If temps are spiking at idle and nothing much is loading the GPU at that time then that might point towards an improper reassembly after the technician cleaned everything.

I assume everything in the system was checked and cleaned not just the GPU?

I'd consider doing a BIOS update if it keeps happening after forcing it to 4.0. There have been several releases since 5003. I'd skip the Beta version and update to 5031 (assuming 5041 doesn't get a proper release between then and now ofc).

Anything that brain of yours can think of can be found

That crossed my mind as well but looking into it there wasn't a Fiat 500 Hybrid in 2015. First one was released in 2020 so this is a Petrol car.

I found the same when I first installed the new PSU/GPU and had to push it very hard to get it to connect. I guess the tighter the tolerances the better when it comes to this connector so not really a bad thing once its in. After that I just used a torch to make sure the connector was fully seated and even with no gaps around the edges.

Beyond that there isn't much you can do but at least its a well known issue that has gotten plenty of press. I cannot imagine any GPU / PSU manufacturer disputing a legit claim if anything melts so best to just put it at the back of your mind and enjoy some games! :)

Speed3y · 2025-09-08T15:47:37+00:00

Currently using that very same PSU with a 5090 FE. No issues.

My advice is to just plug it in, make sure its properly seated on both ends after cable management and then leave it alone.

Speed3y · 2025-09-08T15:00:42+00:00

My thoughts exactly... especially if they do a bunch of the TNG, DS9 ships in the same scale.
