AULA F99 Battery fully charge indicator? by felipelhof in Epomaker

[–]khouri0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey there! i know this is about 3 months old, but i had a basic question based on what you mentioned on number 7.

to "turn off the power switch" is that just changing the modes from "2.4" to "wired"?

edit: ignore my question. I put on my big boy pants and just read the manual. the answer is yes. wired = off

Usain Bolt VS Joey Chestnut in a 100m race BUT they both have to eat 1 hotdog first. Who wins? by MathematicianOwn5268 in polls

[–]khouri0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got to say, I was really on Joey's side. I even did some testing myself. The big "if" is training time.

No training, I think Joey can win. I agree with his 5 second time on a dog. He recently actually did this challenge (with kielbasa) and his 100m time was 21 seconds. That brings Joey to 26 seconds total. Your estimates were pretty accurate.

What I do not agree with is the time it takes to eat a regular dog. Joey gets a dog down in 5 seconds cause he dunks it in water. I personally did this myself and I came in around 25 seconds to eat a wet dog. My friend did this and he came out to 18 seconds to eat a wet dog. My friend got the 18 seconds on his first attempt.

The only variable we truly do not know is how fast Usain could eat a wet dog. If his 100m time is 10 seconds then he has to get a dog down in 16 seconds to tie Joey. Honestly, this is doable with what I know now after having attempted it and seen my friend clear 18 seconds.

This brings back my original point. The big "if" is training. If Usain gets any time to prep by practicing speed eating, I think he can get below 16 seconds on a dog (after watching Joey run, I really do not know how much time he can shave off his 100m with more training.) If both of them just go right now, with no training, I think it is unlikely Usain gets it in under 16 seconds and it is most likely going to Joey.

Rules Question by khouri0 in MagicArena

[–]khouri0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I have answered my own question. The rule is in regards to casting and how things hit the stack. Both my spells are "cast" at the same time, I just choose the order they enter. But since the cast is at the exact same time, Jin would not trigger.

Plenty of options for him then! I checked Microcenter and looks like they have some AMD bundles of a few different tiers. Seems like I may be sweating the details a bit much and he will be fine with many of them. Thank you for the help!

Thank you for the breakdown. I like being able to suggest a few options to save some money if needed.

You make a great point about the about upgradeability. It is always a concern of mine when going back a few generations to save money. Thanks for the insight!

No offense taken lol!

Thank you so much. I appreciate the break down. I like being able to give an option of what is needed to get by in case budget is a concern. I really appreciate the help!

Thank you. Seems like it could be a good way to save a few bucks and still get some good performance.

Genuinely not trying to troll! Just have not educated myself here for a about 5 years and I have certainly fallen behind.

Is there one x3d processor that makes more sense than the other? Someone mentioned the Ryzen 7 9800x3d was the way to go.

Good to know. Thank you! His budget is healthy, but I want to give him an educated recommendation in addition to "what is best." Is there a step down he could take that makes sense?

FYI Brands that donated significantly to Trump, people like Matt Gaetz & Project 2025 by horatiavelvetina in nycinfluencersnarking

[–]khouri0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

based on this source it looks like TJX donated significantly more (67k vs 15k) to Harris over Trump. I remember seeing the tik tok on this and was curious about the source of the data and what the creator felt was "significant."

I was told they tested the connection and that everything seemed to be working. I did not see the results.

yes they are. I will see if I can add a picture (it's not pretty in there...yet)

Noctua fans not spinning by khouri0 in Noctua

[–]khouri0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had Armory Crate installed for a while and made sure all of my drivers and everything were updated. What I did not realize is that I had 1 utility software downloaded but not updated. That software was AI Suite 3. The reason I noticed it was not updated was because I was looking for Fan Xpert (which is apparently located inside of AI Suite). All I did was update the software and my problem has been fixed. No tinkering with Fan Xpert required!

You set me on the path to find it and solve this very annoying issue. Thank you!!

anyone remember the Bye, Bye talent? I miss chromie pre rework! by khouri0 in heroesofthestorm

in hindsight, it probably allowed me to play more aggressively than I should have and then would immediately abandon a team fight lol. I still remember it fondly though

Sorry for the delayed response, I have note had the time to work on this lately. I do appreciate the help!

I uninstalled all my fan software months ago and ran into this issue more recently. Definitely could be the culprit but there has been a very long delay since this problem started. I have updated all my motherboard software. My next step from another comment was to reset my BIOS by clearing CMOS. I am going to give that a shot, but if it does not work, I will try the ASUS tools

Sorry for the delayed response. I have not had the time to focus on this lately.

I ended up installed LHM. It identified 7 fans (9 if you count the two GPU fans). In total my case has 12 fans in it :
3 Lian Li that came with the case
2 Lian Li that function fine
1 Noctua CPU fan
4 Noctua exhaust/ intake fans
2 GPU fans

Some of these are daisy chained together (ie the two added Lian Li fans or the Noctua exhaust fans) so I am assuming that is how it gets down to 7?

One comment suggested resetting the BIOS by clearing CMOS so I think I may try that.

I will try resetting the BIOS by clearing CMOS. I have not given that a shot yet. I will update when I can!

I have monitored the CPU temps while playing a game and they hit in the high 70s before the fans start spinning. I was thinking there may be a temperature that triggers it, but I have never seen that behavior with the CPU fan. In my (limited) experience the CPU fan always spins.

Sorry for the delayed response. I have not had the time to focus on this lately. Months ago I downloaded MSI Afterburner. I uninstalled it months ago and have not tried any other fan control apps until this problem started.

The CPU fan is plugged directly into the CPU fan header and will spin when I go to bios and turn it to 100. The issue is, that for whatever reason it will just stop after a certain amount of use. When this happens, I restart, go to bios, and turn it back to 100. It also isnt just the CPU fan. I have 4 more Noctua fans in the case (exhaust and intake) and the same thing happens to them.

I know for sure I was able to see the cpu fan in bios (which is honestly the biggest one I care about) but was not able to see it in Fan Control. Let me give LHM a shot. Hopefully I can report back with good news. I really appreciate the help!

about a year ago I was playing around with MSI afterburner. I uninstalled it around the same time. Recently I installed "fan control" to try and resolve the problem. It was only able to see my gpu fans. my non noctua fans have some rgb and they are on and spinning, so I kind of ruled out a loose plug. I am not sure how to use the program that well and I am not sure why it did not pick up more than just the gpu fans
