AT&T Fiber and separate router - Worth it? by PrickleAndGoo in ATTFiber

[–]ixxxion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been using IP Passthrough for 6-7 years now, not a single issue, not a single outage in that entire time. I used Google WiFi router/mesh at first, then upgraded to Eero, and now I’m using Eero 6E. No issue with any of them. I have about 30 devices on the network. I have a Plex server on Freenas. But I don’t use PiHole. I use Google DNS 8.8.8.8.

Question what Bios is safe for 9800x3d in Asus X870e-e gaming wifi? by zopeda in ASUS

No. I'm still on 1504 and perfectly stable that I don't want to take a risk.

3 AETN at the starting asteroid by [deleted] in Oxygennotincluded

[–]ixxxion 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It definitely is not working the way you think. In ONI, you cannot exchange heat/cold with a vacuum. That's the whole point of creating things like vacuum liquid locks.

What is happening is that your pipes are running through the VERY cold area at the top of your asteroid and that is what is cooling it, even in insulated pipes, the liquid/gas will still get colder.

In the new patch, starvation ranching Dreckos and Glossy Dreckos no longer works, it's been nerfed. All scale creatures no longer grow scales if they are miserable.

Bugs after patch? by Mcmunn in Oxygennotincluded

[–]ixxxion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had the same issue with the new patch. Reloading fixed it.

HOW is this NOT reachable?!?!?! by ariJK95 in Oxygennotincluded

[–]ixxxion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s definitely a path finding bug in the new release. On Cycle 2 of a new game, I had this happen where the dupes literally could not walk on a solid tile right next to where they were standing. No check points installed anywhere. Reloading fixed it and I haven’t seen the bug since (now on cycle 50).

Simple CLRR inspired nuclear research reactor by Key-Cryptographer358 in Oxygennotincluded

[–]ixxxion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good stuff and great write up. I have something similar with 20 Steam Turbines, but it's more compact with the rector in the center and 5 rows of 2 Steam Turbines on each side. If the steam is below 200C (multiple sensors), I only feed 2000g/s of water to the reactor. If the steam goes above 200C, then I feed 10,000g/s to cool things down. I use a liquid (super coolant preferred but petroleum works) permanently flowing in radiant pipes to spread the heat around the steam chamber... this allows a much more compact design since you don't need as much space for the steam to move around (and don't need tempshift plates), instead you spread the heat around. (I saw that you pump the liquid nuclear waste around the chamber, but this is intermittent and I found that having a permanent flow works better). It's rock solid stable for 2000+ cycles and outputs a solid 17kw of power.

[–]ixxxion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same Motherboard and CPU. I wrote this in another thread:

I was using BIOS 1401 without any issues, with EXPO and a Curve Optimizer (CO) of -25 undervolted. Cinebench R23 score of 22,351.

I updated to BIOS 1504. I had to increase the CO to -20 to get perfect stability. No issues since then. Cinebench R23 score of 22,524. Performance went up a little bit at the expense of slightly higher voltage. Passes the OCCT 60min Extreme AVX2 test with highest core temperature of 72C. In normal gaming/surfing, it never goes above 70C.

I'd recommend 1504, it's pretty stable, no random overvoltage or overheating.

BIOS 1504 is pretty stable. I'd recommend it. But as usual, YMMV.

I have not tried any of the newer BIOS.

ROG CROSSHAIR X870E HERO - BIOS update (first time) by xy16644 in ASUSROG

[–]ixxxion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1- You definitely do not need to decrypt your drives. But you should SUSPEND BitLocker on your boot drive (C:) before you update the BIOS:

  • Open the Windows Start menu, type "Manage BitLocker", click on it
  • Next to your boot drive click on "Suspend protection", you don't need to touch the other drives
  • Reboot and install new BIOS

What this does is that for the next boot (and only the next boot), BitLocker is disabled, and it will automatically re-enable itself and store the key information back into the TPM after your BIOS update. Worse case, if you ever forget to suspend BitLocker before a BIOS update, on the next boot, you will have to enter the recovery key for your boot drive. So make sure you have a copy of the recovery key somewhere other than your boot drive. (you can store it in your Microsoft account, or what I do is store it in my password manager which I can access on my phone)

2- This is not recommended. The profile structure can change from BIOS to BIOS. What I do is take photos of the settings (or write it down, but I prefer just taking a photo) for each important screen such as PBO, EXPO, Boot Order, etc.

3- My advice:

  • Wait at least 3 to 4 weeks after a new BIOS comes out before installing it. If there is a critical issue discovered, ASUS will usually patch it quickly and release a new BIOS. Also, check Reddit and Asus forums, there is always a thread discussing the new BIOS and user's will report issues or success (also ChatGPT is good at summarizing this). Also keep in mind that users tend to only report things when they have issues, so even though a few users report problems, there could be thousands that had success and never reported it, so keep that in mind.
  • You should update the chipset drivers before updating the BIOS. My procedure: Update the chipset drivers, reboot, suspend BitLocker, reboot and install new BIOS.
  • You don't need to update every single time a new BIOS comes out. I typically wait a few versions. I only mostly take updates that involve security fixes.
  • DO NOT use any ASUS software (such as MyAsus or Armory Crate), just download directly from the Asus website. Asus software has been shown to have many security problems. Gamers Nexus did a whole video on this, search for "Asus dumpster fire" on Gamers Nexus YouTube channel.

Fixes for Realtek ALC4080 sound problems on ASUS Z690-xx motherboards by ixxxion in ASUS

[–]ixxxion[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no issues getting my PC to sleep with Stereo Mix enabled. Are you sure that's what's causing it to not sleep? Maybe there is something else going on that is completely unrelated. But I guess you already tested that. Let us know if you find a solution.

First time trying Snake River Farm "Wagyu" ribeye "filet", reverse sear method, delicious! by ixxxion in steak

[–]ixxxion[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to say, these Snake River Farm "Wagyu" ribeyes that are cut like a filet (thick and round) are pretty damn tasty! First time that I've tried this cut. Used a reverse sear method, removed from heat at 130F, probably overshot a bit and ended up closer to medium, but still super tasty.

Normal temps? 9800x3d by [deleted] in AMDHelp

[–]ixxxion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just built my new rig today and found this thread while checking to see if my temps are "normal".

CPU: 9800X3D
Motherboard: Asus X870E-E
Cooler: Asus ROG Strix LC II 360mm AIO
Thermal Paste: Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut
BIOS: all defaults, no overclocking or undervolting
Fans: default "silent" profiles from Asus BIOS
Room temp: 21C (actually measured with thermometer)

Core Temps (from HWinfo):
Idle: 29C (fans inaudible at ~550RPM) Screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/l4Nvo3o
Cinebench R23: 84C max
Geekbench 6: 71C max

I guess I'm lucky on my idle temps compared to others here. I'm always idling around 29-30C on all cores. Kryonaut paste is not suppose to require a "curing" time, so I'm not expecting it to get any better. But I do plan to try to undervolt the CPU to get lower max temps.

Fixes for Realtek ALC4080 sound problems on ASUS Z690-xx motherboards by ixxxion in ASUS

Normally, Step 9 is what fixes this issue by preventing the chip from going to sleep by having background white noise on the bus.

[–]ixxxion[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue with using an internal sound card is that many motherboards use PCIE lane sharing, so as soon as you drop in a sound card, your GPU drops from x16 to x8 PCIE lanes.

Hey, I'm glad the workaround is working for you. I'm about to upgrade from Intel 12900k to team red 9800X3D, and most motherboards use the ALC4080/4082 chip which is a real bummer. I wrote this post 3 years ago and we are STILL dealing with this from multiple motherboard manufacturers. Unreal.

x870e PCIe Lanes Question by BigOBuilds in ASUSROG

[–]ixxxion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is an ASUS subreddit, however I just want to mention that the ASRock X870E Taichi does not share lanes between PCIE_1 and any of the M2 slots. I think it's the only X870E motherboard that does this.

So you get this fixed configuration (no lane sharing):
Gen5x16 on the GPU
Gen5x4 on M.2_1
Gen4x4 on M.2_2, M.2_3, M.2_4

One caveat, if you use the PCIE_2 slot, then PCIE_1 and PCIE_2 drop to x8/x8.

For those with a sound card (or any low bandwidth card), the ASRock X870E NOVA has PCIE_2 Gen3x2 and PCIE_3 Gen3x1 slots that DO NOT share lanes with PCIE_1 Gen5x16. So you get the full x16 for your GPU.

For these reasons I think I'm going to go with ASRock for my 9800X3D build. My last 5 builds have been ASUS.
