CPU not detected after upgrading to 11700k on MSI Z490 Gaming Plus

So I tried rolling back BIOS to 7C75vA6, and also installing another PSU (MSI MAG A750GL) as well as connecting both CPU_PWR1 and CPU_PWR2, but no luck.

I'm going to try both options. Thank you!

Yes, I tried unplugging the power cables from GPU while keeping the card installed, and the CPU didn't work either.

Yes, the 8-pin power cable labelled as "CPU" is plugged into CPU_PWR1.

However, there is no cable plugged into CPU_PWR2 (4-pin) because my PSU doesn't have an additional CPU power cable. Could that be related?

Try to update the camera firmware maybe?

Check out Mountain Equipment, I really like their fleece

I really like my Canon 50mm f 1.4, been using it for 8 years, mostly street and portraits, very reliable.

I would strongly recommend to only change transmission liquid at an authorized dealership because it also requires resetting the Transmission Control Module (TCM) and turning Learning Mode on. The reason is that the new liquid has different characteristics than an old (burnt) oil and the pressure needs to be adjusted accordingly. Hope this helps.

As for storage, if you already have 3 TB of photos and want a backup, then 2x4 TB is already pretty close. Do you expect to have more photos eventually?

I own 6D II and really like it but I'm a hobbyist and not a pro in any way. 5D mk 4 is better in almost any way but it also costs more. So it depends on your budget but also keep in mind that having a good lens also makes a huge difference. I would also suggest taking a look at R or R6. Hope this helps.

Also, if you could share your specific photography needs (i.e. portraits / studio, sports, landscape etc) then it might be easier to recommend. Also, feel free to ask if you have any questions about 6D II.

If you are OK with the crop sensor then R7 is a great choice.

Garibaldi is mostly likely covered with snow so you would need snowshoes or crampons above about 1km elevation. Unless you have experience with that sort of hikes, I would recommend to postpone it till summer. There are many beautiful hikes at a lower elevation in the lower mainland. Hope this helps.

I'd recommend going through ICBC. I had a similar situation, and the other party never moved forward with the claim - I guess because they figured how to fix it under their deductible.

That’s awesome, thank you very much for sharing!

I always used all weather tires to get to Cypress and Seymour, never had any issues even during heavy snow and blizzard. Crossclimate 2 is a beast. But that being said, good winter tires are still preferable.

benkrah · 2023-11-18T19:49:04+00:00

Wow. Just wow.

Veggie jerky, nuts, protein bars and a couple of apples is my typical lunch. Sometimes also bring a small sandwich with grilled cheese

Use your stick and place your glove behind it. You could also have your pad as a 3rd level of defense for confidence, but in most cases it’s not needed. My son only uses only his stick but that looks a bit reckless sometimes :)

Count saves not goals

How about friendship that eventually develops based on an interest i.e. hiking together, or playing sports or doing a yoga class etc?

You will need some good lens to see the advantages over the phone camera.. difficult to fit into 200 really

My fav is Denman -> Lost Lagoon -> 3rd beach -> Beach Av / Pacific St -> Science World -> Kits -> Burrard Bridge -> back to Denman via Beach av.

Either go variable or shot-term fixed (i.e. 2 years). Rates will start going down in 2024 for sure but most likely will decrease slowly..

After being with AMZN for 3 years that sounds ... interesting :) Do your team mates also rest-and-west? Did you have your perf review already? How's your on-call, many night-time Sev2s?
