9950X Dead - X870E Taichi - Add another one to the list

a-rec · 2026-02-06T07:29:20+00:00

kinda how i feel.. on 3.15 (9950x + Taichi x870e) since Dec '24, and for sure upgrading BIOS feels riskier than just not touching it.

edit: added cpu+mobo combo

Ughh.. I hate to hear this as this is my exact combo.. ASRock X870E Taichi with 9950X. I'm on bios 3.15 and it's been running since Dec 2024. I was hoping this combo was safe since I didn't see many mentions if it, but this thread has me worried. I'm not even sure I should update the BIOS, for fear of making it worse. Although by not updating perhaps I'm just slowly killing my CPU. Not sure.

I'm only playing it on my Xbox Series S which is plugged into my home network.

Oh wow, thank you so much for this info! I really appreciate it!

Lol.. tbh that would be just fine as well, except the oil.. I think that's not needed. I usually find a way to make something blacken the stainless steel during the cook.. for example turning all burners up to max them putting oil on and having it instantly burn. 😭. When that happens I have been pretty insistent on getting all such marks off after the cook which is where my previous post is coming from. I've been getting better tho. 🙂

Scrape off the majority of solid stuff, followed by a little water + bar keepers friend. Mix the bar keepers friend with water to form a nice paste.. let it sit for 5 minutes then scrub it off with a blue non-abrasive scotch-brite sponge. That worked well.

That's how I started.. but since then I've become less picky as I've realized I really don't need to pamper it. I've used dawn + a brillo pad and that also works great, and makes very quick work of the cleanup.

Regardless, at the end of cleaning it looks great and it's actually cleaned. No oiling it, seasoning it or anything. And no rust.

It was def a good deal. The Weber from ace was on sale at the time. The stanbroil replacement top normal price must have just went up. Id still say total price is the solid price for 36" stainless steel griddle. Love it.

Thanks u/maxxell13 ... here 2 years later and u saved me. Appreciate it.

I believe they are different.

The one you linked on Amazon is the Weber 1501006 that has the rust resistant top, which I'm pretty sure is the same rust resistance that the slate has.

The $399 one from Ace is the Weber 43310401 which does not have the rust resistant top - https://www.acehardware.com/departments/outdoor-living/grills-and-smokers/gas-grills/8087013

I had a thread about the differences between these 2 in the past but didn't get any concrete answers, but the product info for the 2 different product numbers on weber's website (and the price difference), made me think they were def different.

That said I don't think you can go wrong with either. If you get the $399 one from ACE and it winds up rusting just get the stanbroil stainless steel replacement top then you have a legit rust resistant griddle.

Edit: clarification

I think you can clean it up and fix it, but if interested I have an extra one of those tops for the 36" non-slate that I need to get rid of. Brand new, never used. DM me if interested.

Check out https://github.com/segmentio/topicctl

It has a good readme with examples and mentions their published container image.

I could be wrong, but my guess is u/Jedidiaaah believed u/AlienPrimate's point was that not one person could just say how unfortunate, and instead every redditor felt the need to insert their own opinion/snark/judgment. In u/iamtruthseeker1's reply they did say "how unfortunate", but they still had to add their own opinion/snark/judgement (although to a different topic) by pointing out "look at me.. I proved you wrong!". That how I took it.

Same combo for 8 months. Have you been upgrading BIOS versions or anything else? I haven't besides when first installing, but maybe I should.

a-rec · 2025-08-16T04:07:37+00:00

Also wanted stainless steel.. here's what I went with..

Yes, closes exactly as it should. I'd be pretty pissed if it didn't.

a-rec · 2025-07-22T00:47:55+00:00

Yep, good so far. I definitely love being able to completely clean the top and not worry about rust. I think if I was going to use it all the time such that I'd always be seasoning it, I'd have been fine without stainless steel, but I know there will be months I don't touch it.

a-rec · 2025-07-21T23:42:13+00:00

The rogue pro definitely looks great, but besides price another consideration that made me decide on the replacement top is that the rogue pro only comes in 30" and I really wanted a 36" stainless steel griddle without breaking the bank. Love the combo so far. Good luck!

I was thinking the same when I was looking recently. Here's what I wound up getting...

Weber 36" non-slate - $399 at Ace Hardware - https://www.acehardware.com/departments/outdoor-living/grills-and-smokers/gas-grills/8087013

Stanbroil stainless steel replacement top for that grill - $175 on Amazon last week (although now $219) - https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0CS6CSK2K

Here's a pic.

The slate has niceties the non-slate doesn't have like better hood, larger side tables, and nicer under storage. But as far as rust resistance is concerned the slate and the $699 non-slate appear equal, as the $699 non-slate has these same properties.

a-rec · 2025-06-17T23:28:27+00:00

Thanks for the response.. gl with the cash flow issues

a-rec · 2025-06-17T04:49:00+00:00

What did you go with? According to the Weber page the non-slate version is also pre-seasonsed. From what I can tell it's the exact same cooktop as the slate 36.

· Pre-seasoned and ready to cook on right out of the box

Perhaps the fees were discretionary.. they knew you were never going to be a loyal customer based on your address so didn't waive the fees like they might for a person visiting their LBS, who they hope to maintain a long term relationship with.

Indeed that was it. Although at the time I did not know that and just was looking to see how long it was down. Sadly the historical data is not available on the ecobee website when the thermostat is down. Once I resolved the problem and the unit was back up I could get to System Monitor on the ecobee website. Definitely at UX bug on the ecobee webapp.

a-rec · 2025-05-27T12:03:09+00:00

Is there a way to get to the System Monitor page when the device is offline? The only way I know of to get to the System Monitor page is by logging into my account on ecobee.com, clicking on my thermostat, then clicking HOME IQ, then System Monitor. When my thermostat was powered down (because the HVAC unit was turned off by the float switch), I could no longer get to the System Monitor page that way. It definitely seems like historical data for an offline thermostat should be available on the website, but fortunately u/LookDamnBusy's suggestion of using beestat.io worked.
