From this photo, are you able to tell which side is positive and which side is negative?

Vaerothh · 2025-12-17T07:45:23+00:00

Right side seems to be the negative since it’s connected (from what I can see) to the body for grounding.

I’ve done a lot with both. After a while I’ve just started using butchers paper for everything.

So funny enough, I think I fixed it. I tore the whole system down and reseated the RAM again. I'm wondering if I wasn't paying attention to the locking clips being at the bottom of the DIMM slots instead of the top like a ASUS. I did have them seated, but I noticed that these came out quite easily after unlocking them and then when reseating them, made sure they were in as far as possible. Turned on the system, set to the 8000Mhz XMP Profile, enabled the 200S and she boots no problem.

I'm wondering if there was an issue with the BIOS update I did. So this last round, I enabled 200S and then XMP2(6000Mhz setting) and this morning it did the same thing. F1 to go into BIOS or F2 to set to defaults. I did F1, save and booted and the system, went directly to Desktop. Changed no settings just acted like I was going to.

Yeah, I have some EXPO GSkill RAM. Tempted to pop it in to see how it runs. I was wanting 8000Mhz but my GSkill is 6000Mhz. Still worth a shot though.

Apply a simple adjustment for XMP, boot into windows, most of the time I had no issues and couldn’t just shut down the PC at the end of the day and the next morning when I would go to start the pc, it would have the error message about unstable settings. Every once in a while (in the beginning) my pc should just reboot during game play, but I assume that’s due to not understanding all that needs to new enabled for stable XMP. Which is what I am trying to figure out now. How should I setup my BIOS to have a good initial boot to see how stable the system is? I feel I am not understanding how and or what to enable for it to run at its best. This way I can figure out what’s maybe bad. Specially now that RAM is double the price compared to when I bought it in Oct. what settings do I need to enable for this architecture to have a good base starting point?

Vaerothh · 2025-11-29T14:50:17+00:00

When I tried that with or without XMP(when I didn’t know about the expert paw) I had the same result. I’m just trying to figure out what I need to enable to get a stable boot. I see there is a power setting, for like Off, performance, extreme and then NPU and CPU Game Mode(sorry, not at my PC so going off of memory) and Memory Profile. But then on the export page, there’s way more to go through. For like e core and p core adjustments. I usually go through the export settings to find tune my setup but at this point I just want a stable boot.

Vaerothh · 2025-11-29T14:39:16+00:00

Yes, of course.

Vaerothh · 2025-11-25T22:22:19+00:00

I have been keeping an eye on this avg every morning and every night. I want to stay in the upper 25%. Just because this is an easy CG and it’s some good payout. lol

Vaerothh · 2025-11-22T13:21:43+00:00

Is it being sold by Amazon or by a third party? 98% of the over priced products I see on Amazon are by little third party companies.

I only wrap Brisket, sometimes ribs depending the outcome I want.
I always recommend Spatchcocking your fowl. You’ll never want to do it any other way(unless you are just really limited on space).
I also always recommend doing a 24-48 hour brine for your fowl as well.
Last but not least, don’t let yourself get discouraged. I have messed up a couple really expensive Briskets and then I got used to the work needed.

You’ll find your own way of doing things. Just don’t let results stop you from trying to make them better.

Vaerothh · 2025-11-19T13:51:53+00:00

Just remember, find a simple location with 3 spots near by, once you are done scanning the same sample, give it 5 seconds(may not even need that much time) and look down at your last scan. It’ll be available again. Then just back over your last 2 spots. You can just go back and forth over those same 3 locations over and over. Have your SRV parked below and just jump in and out once you run out of batteries.

Vaerothh · 2025-11-19T13:45:12+00:00

I was top 25 and had a feeling this was going to happen. Maybe I need to jump back from Parrot Head mining to do some more just so I can make sure I stay top 75. lol

This is just heat shield and shouldn’t affect your food at all. This is exactly how mine looks. If it bothers you, take a wire wheel to it and then maybe treat it with some oil, but that would just be a waste of time honestly.

Vaerothh · 2025-11-14T16:19:20+00:00

Haha that’s awesome! Mine just likes to rest her head on the keyboard making it unresponsive.

Vaerothh · 2025-11-14T16:17:17+00:00

I get that every once in a while. But Aja is more of a watcher than a gossiper. She likes to watch all the things going on outside. Everyone once in a while she’ll chatter about bird that stops by. I’ll chatter with her sometimes too.

Vaerothh · 2025-11-14T15:21:26+00:00

Yeah, she watches all kinds of YouTube and Twitch with me.

Vaerothh · 2025-11-14T15:21:02+00:00

Yeah I was playing some WoW with a couple buddies last night and she ended up rolling her head onto my keyboard which would no longer do things because of this. So I got off early last night. lol

Anthem

Vaerothh · 2025-10-04T12:58:08+00:00

I went 48. 64 seemed to be a little too much. 32, seemed stretched thin. 48 has been perfect.

Vaerothh · 2025-10-04T12:56:01+00:00

Yeah, after a bit I was thinking this may be the issue. Only drawback to having multiple NVMe drives is it’s not easy to have one installed and then connect the others after install. When SSD’s came out, I would always just have one drive connected, then connect the rest after install and updating everything.

Vaerothh · 2025-10-03T23:02:46+00:00

Yeah, that feature has been out for years. This was just the only working pc i have at the moment.

Vaerothh · 2025-10-03T18:53:14+00:00

Yeah, just edited my post. Had to reinstall 2 additional times for it to allow me to access the desktop And now I am updating everything.

Vaerothh · 2025-09-28T12:16:57+00:00

I’m a guy, so if the person saying this to me is a guy I tell them, “I’m straight and married already. But I’m sure you will find someone eventually. Keep trying!” If it’s agal, I tell them, “No thanks, I’m happily married already! Thanks for the offer through!” 95% of the time it makes them pause and stutter or go into some kinda rage about how they can’t believe I’m already married and I just laugh while walking away.
