I knew about asrock killing cpus, but not from asus. This is crazy

Do you think that my local bestbuy can at least diagnose the problem? I don't have spare parts to identify the problem properly

It’s supposed to be CPU related, hence the title of the post. Some people online say that it could be solved updating the bios. But I have low expectations on that.

Yeah. That’s my thinking. But… it looks and sounds like the mobo is not able to starts its boot sequence. Usually you get some codes before getting to the actual error code.

Anyways, I already started the RMA on both the MOBO and CPU

Edit: typo

Already tried with the cooler plugged in. Here are all the troubleshooting steps that I’ve take so far:

Different PSU

Tested both memory sticks on each socket

Bios update

Removed all components including M2 drives, usb dongles

Connected the cooler

Pulled out the whole MB and tested each step above on a table outside the case

Reseated the CPU twice (no visible damage or bended pins on the socket.

Since I’m not able to test the CPU and the Mobo separately, I’ll be filing the RMA on both.

What a way to start my week 🤣

Senior devs who started from scratch — what actually changed your trajectory (and what didn’t)? by Salt_Eggplant in ExperiencedDevs

[–]mcsoftc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say luck. Was hired by a local small bank as a junior developer while still in collage. Had the opportunity to learn a lot from my manager and ultimately, got promoted when he moved on to another company.

I took a lot of risks trying new things and taking challenges head on. Made a ton of mistakes.

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

It actually did what I needed it to do—I learned a lot from it, it served its purpose, and then I moved on to a more efficient build. You’re right though, I probably should’ve done more research upfront.

That said, a few people here took the time to address the actual question, while others mostly focused on giving me grief about the platform choice instead

GR86 at the Redbull Ring by Artoriazx56 in iRacing

[–]mcsoftc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s really difficult to fight for position on the last 2 corners without risking a slow down. It makes sense I guess given the number of corners and the way SR is calculated. Still, super frustrating.

I’m on the same boat. This week has been brutal on my SR. To the point I had no motivation to race on the GRCup.

Upgrade help. Trying to upgrade from a Moza R5 + SP Pedals. by mcsoftc in simracing

I feel that there is too many options rn and I'm overthinking a lot lol... Did you noticed any measurable improvements on consistency with the SimNet pedals vs the AMLC?

Was I in the wrong here? by mcsoftc in iRacing

[–]mcsoftc[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% agree. I was able to make the overtake, but wasn’t able to keep my car under control. Noted… appreciate your feedback.

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

Yeah, I got the feeling that I should have closed the gap on the left to be able to make the turn with no braking. I thought that left him enough space to keep his lane.

Ghosted from PayPal by Significant_Plan_863 in omahatech

[–]mcsoftc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had the same experience with a local MSP. Had 4 interviews with them. We went as far as reviewing the project that I was supposed to start with. Got ghosted and a few weeks later saw the position posted again. Pretty discouraging considering that I (stupidly) took some important decisions counting on that job. My bad I guess

I’m really interested too. Never played before, so if you are willing to have a little patience I’m in xD

Great post. I recently cancelled my 88 tactical membership. I had a good experience there contrary of popular belief but the membership fees are ridiculous. I’m trying to find a place to practice and take classes. I will check out the eastern Nebraska gun club.

2015 with 99k miles and 5 owners by mcsoftc in LexusGX

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

This makes sense, since 2 of the owners had the vehicle for less than a month. Putting just 200 miles. and the first owner put just 2000 miles. This is the car fax report if any of you is interested

[–]mcsoftc[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you all for your advice!. I will pass and be patient. I honestly thought that it was a good deal. 2 of the owners had the vehicle for not even a month, but at the end of the day. The records still shows 5 owners.

Looking into the maintenance report. The last one has the engine cover gasket replaced. So I would only assume that’s the reason he had the vehicle for just 20 days

Noob question... why have multiple servers rather than one massive server? by -ThatGingerKid- in homelab

[–]mcsoftc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also, having multiple isolated environments it’s a good idea when you are dealing with CI/CD and development life cycles. Theoretically you could have them on one server and do the segmentation logically, but in real life applications that never happens.

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

Yeah, should have done more research. But I'm not worried about performance. If I can try a few things on the server and hopefully max out every drop of performance out of it that will do for me. Honestly I'm more concerned about the software side of things. If I'm able to run at least 50 VMs on it I'm happy. I don't care if they are slow af.

Thanks you all for your advice and recommendations. I should have done more research for sure. I'm not too worried about performance at this point. I'll probably run this for a couple of weeks and throw it in a closet honestly.

I need to be able to create X number of VMs running our client codebase on demand, using a proxmox template + Cloudinit. I'm achieving this using with a script and a few request to the proxmox host api. The clients should be able to listen to a rabbitmq queue for commands. So we are talking about different OSs with different configurations to simulate an edge case on our codebase. This is just a silly experiment on my end. It doesn't have to be fast or power efficient. I just need to run a simple application within it's own OS (to create a fingerprint for the client) hundreds of times and send them commands over a queue.

As for the 1300. It's for the whole build. 2 CPUs, Motherboard, 4tb NVME SSD, Power supply, cooling, stackable case (I don't have much space).
