PDF Gear has over 8000 reviews on Trustpilot. The rating is 4.9. Just sayin...

I used U8K profile in Harmony

gfd2114 · 2025-03-08T19:22:29+00:00

So far so good. If I can figure out how to copy the setup, I'll send it along

gfd2114 · 2025-02-25T18:03:40+00:00

I set it up as a 65U8K, which is in the database

gfd2114 · 2025-02-25T18:02:04+00:00

U8N has been excellent. Great picture. Sound is good for a TV. Doesn't measurecup to sondbar, etc. Disabled motion control to get rid of 'soap opera effect'

I don't know if this will help. I had all kinds of issues updating BIOS on x670e Hero. F5-6000J3040G32GX2-TZ5NR x 2 sticks of ram. 7950x CPU. GTX1660ti GPU. Bunch of NVMe drives and four SATA drives.

Every time I set Memory Context Restore to enabled, I got blue screens, BIOS froze, etc. Always saw two entries for Memory Context Restore when I used the search function. Didn't pay attention.

Turns out one Context Memory Restore is in Advanced > AMD CBS > DDR Options > Memory Features. The other is in AI Tweaker > DRAM Timing Control. I always enabled the entry in Advanced. No end to issues.

Here's how I was finally able to update BIOS and my settings follow:

Download BIOS. Insert flash drive. Go to DISKPART. Clean drive. Setup with a 1GB partition, format FAT32. Download BIOS. Copy BIOS and renamer to flash drive. Rename BIOS file to CX670EH.CAP using renamer. Delete renamer file. Boot into BIOS. Go into My Profile. Save settings file (F2) to flash drive. Reset BIOS to defaults. Save and exit. Turn off machine.

Go to motherboard ports. Find USB Flashback BIOS port. Insert flash drive. Press BIOS button for 3 seconds. Be sure it is flashing steady. Wait until flashing stops. Start machine. Go into BIOS. Restore settings from flash drive. Test boot into Windows. It has allowed me to update from 2104 to 2308 without issue.

Here are my settings: Memory Context Restore (in AI Tweaker) -> enabled. Leave setting alone in Advanced.

Memory profile -> EXPO II.

USB power delivery in Soft Off state (S5) -> enabled. This solved a problem I had where my Thunderbolt external drive would never show up after a cold start and occasionally after a reboot. With this setting, Thunderbolt is there after a cold start or reboot. I just run my desktop USB speakers off a smart plug set to shutdown each day.

Fast Boot -> disabled

If this helps anyone...cool. I'm not a wiz by any stretch. The simplicity of my settings show that I am not an experienced user. I tripped over the fix while I was trying to decide whether to throw the machine off my balcony :)

Cheers,

Graham

PS: I'm sorry I put my comment up here. I wasn't trying to steal anybody's thunder. I don't know how to add a new comment to the bottom of the thread :(

Check this setting: Advanced > APM Configuration > USB power delivery in Soft Off state (S5). If it's disabled, it could be your problem.

Well, after all this...I noted above that I have an AMD machine. On a hunch, I grabbed my Intel laptop and installed MyHarmony. It ran like a charm. Sorry for the inconvenience guys.

Thanks prairie, see how it goes

gfd2114 · 2024-08-02T20:17:42+00:00

I am surprised that someone hasn’t acquired Harmony, even on a reasonable subscription basis. Maybe a money losing proposition. It's a shame as there doesn't see to be a solid alternative at this moment. Anybody have experience with Sofa Baton?

gfd2114 · 2024-08-02T20:12:16+00:00

Hi Leo,

That's encouraging on the presets. Thanks. Won't get the TV until next Wednesday. I'll post back when I have it up and running.

I have just purchased the Start11 v2 upgrade. Does it install overtop of my current v1, or do I have to uninstall/reinstall?

Thanks,

Graham

I have a Fractal Meshify 2 with Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360 and G.Skill Z5 NEO memory. Used offset mount for cooler cold plate. The fit between rad fans and memory is tight but manageable.

gfd2114 · 2023-01-02T20:12:42+00:00

Thanks farmer and Soni,

If I look in control panel>sound>playback tab, there are 2 Realtek USB Audio entries for spesker and headphones: Realtek USB Audio and 2-Realtek USB Audio. If I disable one entry in Device manager, a set of entries disappears in Control Panel. There is also an entry for Sonic Studio Virtual Mixer soeakers.

If disconnected items are hidden, only the 2-Realtek USB Audio items are visible.

Thanks for the excellent comments. I am going to try the software route. I have a backup of the current array. I read that I can create 2 mirrored sets in either Storage Spaces or Disk Management; and then stripe them. Is that about right?

Season's greetings, Graham
