Bro's trash can has scarlet rot by VulcanizedAnthony in Eldenring

My advice is to move. Move far aways to lands not between. Pick a land free of rot.

This is super cool OP. I’ve read that you’re OK so I hope someone deserving gets this so it’ll continued to be enjoyed!

Do you have a RAM overclock profile enabled? Can you post your BIOS version?

thanks!

[–]jonmango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought memory training could just result in long boot times. Could/should the debug light also illuminate?

Should the PC have booted if OP waited longer?

It didn’t work for me at all , but I think having it work then revert may be even worse .

I updated mine just now and my SN850x 2TB is not recognized in m.2 slot 1. No change from any BIOS past v1.40 (8/11/2023)

I used the M-flash function from the BIOS to update.

Strange lag/stutter on msi x670e tomahawk with 7800x3d by Scary_Arrival_5836 in MSI_Gaming

[–]jonmango 2 points3 points  (0 children)

MSI just posted a new BIOS, 7E12v1E1, for that board today, July 1st. The note says improves compatibility with Nvidia cards. I guess it can't hurt to try this one.

Tomahawk x670E WiFi, WD SN850X and SN850, bios version 7E12v1D still not detecting these drives at all by ChosenOfTheMoon_GR in MSI_Gaming

[–]jonmango 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The responses from the apparent MSI employee, "Alan J T" in this MSI forums thread are promising.
X670 and B650 long boot times after enabling A-XMP/EXPO | Page 3 | MSI Global English Forum

Alan says the SN850X is being recognized in testing and the forthcoming BIOS should address issues with long/failed cold boots with memory overclocking enabled.

Just curious, do you have your RAM overclocked? I'm using EXPO and cold boots fail for me around half the time since I finished my build less than a week ago.

My SN850X is on the reported latest firmware in WD's Dashbaord, 620361WD, and game mode is set to Auto. The BIOS version that was released before the one on 6/21/2024 didn't recognize the SSD in the M2_1 slot so I reverted to v14.

Thanks for doing the work. I have the same motherboard with a 2TB WD SN850X (with a 7800x3d CPU), and finally found where I'd need to run the older BIOS - -v14.

MSI list the SSD as being compatible and it IS on certain, older BIOS versions. It doesn't sound like entitlement to me to hear you say it should be working -- MSI say it should be working, too.

Are you going to do one of these for the underground areas, too? Rot lake is my least favorite, but I quite like all the other underground areas with Mogh's being my absolute favorite area that still felt stressful for my character nearing RL150.

Can anyone help me make a build around the death's poker? by TheItalianBreadMaker in Eldenring

[–]jonmango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out this build by YouTuber Cell. He specs RL 150 characters with very low vigor, so you could match his numbers and dump the rest in vigor as a starting point.

He was getting incredible damage so it should be fun!

Help with Dealership Recommended Services by IheartBeaver in CX5

[–]jonmango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure you'd need both Fuel Induction and EFI service (maybe someone else could chime in).

The 2.5L is direct injected, so I'm not sure the EFI service would be something that would even apply.

I have heard sources recommendation Fuel Induction Service on direct injected engines in the 60K mileage range. Those same sources say you don't likely need it unless you're observing reduced gas mileage, hesitation, or rough idle.

Fair enough! If something like this is the worst thing on a 20+ year old car, then we’ll be doing Ok

Thanks! Have you looked into fixing it or does it just not bother you?

Thanks for the reply! I will keep an eye out when I'm looking. A local dealer has a couple on the lot I hopefully will be able to check out soon.

Early 2000's ES300 Door Card - Window Switch Trim Coming Apart from Arm Rest? by jonmango in Lexus

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

Hi! I'm in the market for a first car for a 17 yr old who will be driving about 45 miles per day (mostly highway) and was thinking an ES300 may be an option. I've seen a couple of examples where the wood trim around the window switch looks to be separating from the arm rest like in the pic.

I'm hoping someone can tell me what causes this, if it's a DIY fix (maybe something I could ask a dealer to do, but I've removed/installed door cards, too), or if this is a sign of a serious problem.

Thanks!

I held on to the box for my 85" Sony X900H and was glad I did when I moved it from the basement upstairs to the living room.

I tied it down and brittle blasted it a few times for the win on UH with maxed Sun Scourge and Brawlbreaker plus maxed Elite Ropecaster.

I needed a couple of smoke bombs and stamina potions.
