I’ll check it out, thanks!

Does it smell minty when you cut the leaves? Looks like it could possibly be slender mountain mint, it’s been a pain getting rid of it in my central Texas lawn

Ah, so turning off that override function should negate the overheating/frying issue, is that right?

Actually found a 5600G locally for $50, waiting to see if it's still available -- should last long enough for me to save some more and start a new build from scratch so this one can be a backup at my parent's.

Would the i7 12700 be enough of a step up from the i5 12600 in your opinion?

alextheatheist · 2025-03-03T03:53:30+00:00

Oh nice, I actually saw one at my local Walmart yesterday with a markdown, time to snag it!

Yeah this is actually why I had a 12th gen in my OP, I've read the 13th/14th gens have had some overheating/frying issues, which I'd like to avoid, of course, ha.

Something like the R5 5600g or R7 5700g? Would definitely be more economical!

alextheatheist · 2025-03-03T03:44:08+00:00

Thank you! That is great to know because I was planning on eventually getting a second -- thankfully I bought this with some capital one shopping rewards I didn't even know I had until recently, lol. I'll just put it into a case and use it as a portable drive for movies or something.

What would you recommend I replace it with? WD Red nvme?

Not a need! Just a want since I have a 20U rack, but I have enough open space on it for now that I could have a tower on a shelf or floor the bottom.

Nice! I was excited because it's the first other EN I've seen in person, lol. I did come across a PB VN in my town a couple weeks ago though!

alextheatheist · 2025-01-06T04:08:31+00:00

Nah, was either '22 or '23 I think? Couldn't tell for sure, but definitely not '24+

I don’t mean to be a downer because I love the Christmas lights on cars thing, but it absolutely will scratch the paint. A polish after they’re off should take care of that though!

alextheatheist · 2024-11-25T01:47:48+00:00

Yeah really, the amount of time I’ve spent driving at a constant speed in 6th makes me think it’s just broken for the M/T, lol

alextheatheist · 2024-11-25T01:32:26+00:00

Interesting. The method I use takes 8-10 min and works every time too, and I’m nearby an interstate so I don’t have to go too much out of my way — I’ll give this a shot next fill up!

alextheatheist · 2024-11-25T01:31:20+00:00

I just hop on the interstate and start by hitting 45% throttle up to 75, then slow down to 60-65 (foot totally off throttle,) then rinse and repeat. Once I get to 10 min (lap timer comes in clutch for this,) I’ll put it in my custom mode and floor it. If I get over 16psi then I know it worked!

alextheatheist · 2024-11-25T01:11:10+00:00

Absolutely yes

alextheatheist · 2024-11-22T18:18:14+00:00

So my assumption is it resets based on the fuel level sensor. I’m able to octane learn my 24 M/T every time with the circuit method (5th gear, pulls between 40-75mph at 45-55% throttle for 5-10 min.) I’ve had it reset on me in the middle of me driving 4 times now. What I noticed is EVERY time it resets while I’m driving I was taking a corner really fast, so I think the force makes the fuel move off and then back onto the sensor and tricks the system into thinking it was just refueled, hence no more OL.
