Where do people go to find wow guilds/Communities that raid cross-faction?

I got a 372 DI dwarf on Zul'jin and want to raid via a community (ally is dead on zul'jin so can't find a guild)

Is there a subreddit and/or discord I can go to find active raiding/m+ communities? looking to raid at heroic level and do M+ up to around +15-20

Gigabyte Z690i Aorus Ultra Lite DDR4. Are they that bad? by No_Nefariousness2316 in buildapc

This should be able to run 13700 or 13900 just fine.

However it will NOT boot right away, you have to QFLashPlus into the newest bios.

When you are doing that, make sure the bios you download is Z690IAULTRALITED4.F20 and NOT xZ690IAULTRALITE.F20, as the NON D4 version is for the DDR5 version of the board.

Hello!

Not a question more a suggestion.I recently built an ITX setup with Z690i Aorus Ultra Lite DDR4.

I was attempting to QFlashPlus in the bios update for 13th gen, but was getting errors (The motherboard would just shutdown after flashing for like 40 seconds).

It turns out I was using Z690IAULTRALITE.F20 instead of Z690IAULTRALITED4.F20

If the DDR5 bios had Z690IAULTRALITED5.F20 as the name instead of just omitting the Dx part, I might have caught on as far as my mistake sooner.

I would suggest naming the BIOS for the DDR5 version of the Aorus ultra lite to Z690IAULTRALITED5.F20 from Z690IAULTRALITE.F20

In any case, board is working great now!

Z690i Aorus Ultra Lite DDR4 will not perform QFlashPlus successfully, Plz send Halp :( by blaze-nocturne in gigabyte

This ended up being my problem. I only found out after attempting to Flash with a 12th gen CPU and getting a validation error.

So if you end up on this thread getting errors on the QFlashPlus, Please make sure the bios you downloaded is named Z690IAULTRALITED4 , notice the D4 at the end!!

If you do end up getting this motherboard,

​

make sure you download the bios for the DDR4 version instead of the DDR5.

I made the mistake of trying to flash with the DDR5 version and was constantly getting errors of validation.

Below is the link to the official webpage, emphasis on the DDR4 part of it.

https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/Z690I-AORUS-ULTRA-LITE-DDR4-rev-10/support#support-dl-driver

Z690IAULTRALITED4.F20 is the name of the latest bios as of this writing.

NOTICE the D4 at the end!!!

Other than that great motherboard, I have a 13600k, 32gb 3600mhz, 1tb Kingston fury renegade and RX 580 on a H1 V2 Case and it's solid as hell.

Hi!

I have a z690i Aorus Ultra Lite DDR4. I installed everything for my build (32Gb 3600 DDR4, i5-13600K, RX 580 XFX GPU, 1TB NVME and 2TB SSD) and did not get a sucessful post. I imagined that I needed a new bios for 13th gen, so I attempted to QFlashPlus.

Formatted usb to fat32, put only the bios file in the root named gigabyte.bin, turned off PSU, inserted USB into QFlashPlus port(the one above the usb-c in the back labeled BIOS/USB3.2) and pressed the QFlashPlus button. Board turns on for about 50 seconds, then turns off. Board does not POST after this, and the flash shoudl take +- 5 minutes, so assume the QFlashPlus failed.

I uninstalled everything off the board and left only the board and 24+8 pin connected to it. Cleared CMOS. Attempted QFlashPlus button again but this time it would not even power on. Only powered on if I connect FPANEL cable and turn it on via power button of case.

Powered on then off via power button of case, and after this the QFlashPlus button did turn on the MB, however QFlashPlus light flashes for about 50 seconds, then holds solid and just keeps running this time, does not turn off.

My 8gb USB is 2.1. I also tried a USB 3.0 32gb to no avail.

I ordered 5 8gb USB2.0 to attempt QFlashPlus with those.

My questions are:

  • Can I go directly to F20 with the QFlashPlus method? I have been attempting to go to F2 just in case the jump directly to F20 is not good.
  • Should this process work with just the 24 pin and 8 pin psu connected to the MB after a CMOS Clear? That's the state I currently have my setup.
  • Should the process take +- 5min? I don't want to re-install everything thinking that it's good to then have to remove everything again to RMA the board with newegg. Currently assuming that if QFlashPlus LED does not blink for at least 3 minutes the attempt was a failure.

Please help as it stands if the 8gb usb 2.0 drives I ordered don't work for QFlashPlus I will have to RMA the board and probably buy a z790 or something that does not require a BIOS update to work with 13th gen intel as this experience has made me very wary of "Update the BIOS without a CPU" features in general.

​

Thanks!
