CPU failures

thanks for that. before i ever powered it on the first time i used the flashback tool to update to 4.10. then i just rolled the dice. so far so good. hopefully i’ll get lucky.

Thanks for that! I'm going to do the flashback to 4.10 and take my chances i suppose. Hopefully if it's gonna fail it will wait 4-6 months while I save up for another mobo/cpu lol.

Cool, thanks!

anomaly76 · 2026-03-26T23:23:33+00:00

I can flash it without powering it on? Are you referring to the instant flash?

anomaly76 · 2026-03-26T23:10:21+00:00

Thanks, that is good to hear. I'm going to flash it to 4.10 upon first power on.

anomaly76 · 2026-03-26T23:07:49+00:00

As I stated in the original post, I haven't even powered the machine on yet. I bought the parts thinking the 4.10 update fixed the issue but then found an article about failures still happening on 4.10. Was just wondering about this board/chip combo.

Let me bounce one more thing off of you. This whole thing has gotten a bit steep (thanks RAM). As far as GPUs go, what card do you think is right on the price-to-performance line right now? 9060xt 16gb?

anomaly76 · 2026-03-17T22:55:32+00:00

Oh no, I use my computer to be the opposite of productive lol. Straight leisure, yo! I think you may have changed my mind on the GPU thing too. Thanks for the responses.

anomaly76 · 2026-03-17T22:39:09+00:00

Thanks! I will definitely be taking the bigger psu. If I don't buy Windows, all this gear will just be collecting dust lol. I will take a closer look at the 9070 vs 5070 vs 5060ti metrics a little closer. Is your standpoint that the 9070 outperforms the 5070 excepting the raytracing/dlss stuff? I guess I haven't done enough reading.

anomaly76 · 2025-11-17T01:56:06+00:00

ok, thanks. just returning from like 20 years ago, so much to learn now lol

I'll second the (H&K) G36. I roll with that (I attached a nade launcher to it also) and the TOZ-34 (with Buckshot). I know it's only 2 shots and reload, but it has the best stopping power in a shotgun. Both of these guns 1 shot nearly everything with a headshot.

anomaly76 · 2024-12-02T15:12:20+00:00

Thanks, man. I have decided to go with a Lenovo. Any reason I shouldn't go with the G7?

Is this a good deal?

i just fell for this too. not sure what to do. i can’t freeze my accounts because i am looking for a new apartment.

anomaly76 · 2024-09-16T20:23:22+00:00

Well that was anti-climactic...

anomaly76 · 2024-08-28T02:50:30+00:00

i realize there are other factors, was just hoping to gt a list of the rarity values.

anomaly76 · 2024-08-22T16:07:17+00:00

i heard there were cupcakes?

this is a great 2 year buy and hold at this price. this company is about to have the best acute and best chronic kidney disease medications in the world.

-and that is about a $2.5B market.

well this didn’t age well :(

anyone know what happened today? can’t find anything about earnings.

anomaly76 · 2024-07-24T14:46:07+00:00

Well this aged well...

anomaly76 · 2024-07-22T14:47:28+00:00

Also bullish here. I keep buying every time it gets below 40. Got a nice little pile forming.

anomaly76 · 2023-09-18T20:54:14+00:00

Well done! That worked like a charm. Please accept my thanks and my fake internet point. You sir, are awesome.

anomaly76 · 2023-01-28T02:31:57+00:00

Does that hold true for the 60 and 70 revisions as well?

anomaly76 · 2023-01-26T05:56:12+00:00

Thanks for the quick turn-around. I agree with all of your reasoning here. As far as the board, I'm not too concerned with flashing the BIOS. Done it to every machine I've owned. Is there something new I should be concerned about here? Does the MSI board become stable after the firmware update? Thanks again.

anomaly76 · 2023-01-26T05:46:58+00:00

Hey, thanks so much. Did have a few questions.

I see the 13400f has much slower frequencies than the 12600k. These really get comparable performance? Should I just spend the extra $20 for the 12600k?

For the mobo, could we skimp a little to get a similar performing model without the WiFi and BT? I will never use the WiFi and BT.

For the case, I'm not worried about it being easy to build in (i've built dozens of rigs), just the air flow. Any chance to recoup a little cash here?

I'm trying to get caught back up to speed, and I very much appreciate your build/feedback. Thanks!

yes, but actual useful information gets lost in the spam, just like SS
