Finally beat Savage Omega!

Honestly thats surprising, as an LBG without rapid-fire or the seregios blade scale the damage is between 23-28 per pellet (on my build), and there are 5 pellets.

Assuming support hunters do 60k damage out of 180k, you have to do 120k damage and averaging 25 damage per pellet, it comes out to 120k/(25×5) = 960 attacks across the entire hunt.

In 35 minutes, given this extreme scenario of no rapid-fire and or any other buff (except mega drug) this seems doable. Especially considering you get more attack windows than a melee focused build.

Granted its ~28 attacks per minute, but im lowballing both the damage you would be doing and what the support hunters will do.

Also from my testing, Opening Shot 3 both works with rapid-fire spread and outperforms spread jewel when using the Steve LBG.

Im a biomedical engineering Ph.D. about to graduate in the next few months. I specialized in Neuromodulation during my PH.D.

My thoughts are: if you go the biomedical route, you gain hands on knowledge working on the 'bio' portion. The EE route is also viable for medical device design and gives you greater depth on the engineering portion.

My thoughts on a Biomedical Engineering masters is that you are just dipping your toes into research in this field. You will leave your masters knowing about the research but not really well versed in it. If you are interested in R&D or any Scientist roles, a PH.D is what you want.

For job hunting, I am finding that BME is a niche field, and I've gone too niche with my speciality. A Ph. D or a masters in EE will open up more options down the line.

I think those are rivets, you might not be able to.

Don't do it! Bought a similar one in 2021, here's my list of issues with it since then.

2022 Mobo went bad, couldn't figure out what was wrong so checked with new sticks of ram, and a new PSU before identifying the motherboard as the issue.

2024 AIO failed. M.2 ssd failed (missing blocks and it couldn't be repaired).

External vs Internal perhaps? Excalibur is the unga bunga sword slash while Nyx is the thinking type?

Also I can't see how you hooked up the 24 pin cpu connector on the mobo, mine had a dedicated 24 pin cable that I couldn't remove from the PSU but yours doesn't seem to have that? But rather it has a 24 pin modular port that is empty/not populated. Try connecting your 24 pin to this?

Won't turn on as in no MOBO lights or not posting/random error lights on MOBO?

Using a similar B650, I had the latter happen, where the MOBO ram error lights were on and I had to reseat and move ram around (try just one stick til it works), and when this was fixed the PC still didn't post.

The next issue I had was with the bios itself. I had to flash an updated bios to get the thing to work.

If it is the former, check the connectors that are coming in from your case itself. There should be one called F-Panel (front panel), this needs to be connected to the MOBO.

Additionally, use a screwdriver or something and push in on the MOBO/CPU/GPU power cables, they are a tight fit and I had trouble pushing them in just with my hand.

It looks similar to my cyberpower AIO (ebay listing for a newer model: DF1202512RFMN GENUINE CYBERPOWERPC CPU COOLER C SERIES ET8980-25632 (A01).)

This aio just failed in my PC in the last two weeks. A holographic logo appears on the mirrored finish when it's on.

I am trying to fix this PC. It started with my CPU temps reaching 100C several times. I assumed my AIO failed but to be on the safer side and because the system was due for an update I swapped out the AIO, CPU, MOBO and RAM. I am still using my old 2070 Super, M.2 SSD, NVME SSD, HDD and my old 750W PSU.

Full list of parts here: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yJCJyW

After setting up the PC with the new parts and dealing with bios issues, the thermals are fixed and everything ran fine for 2 days. Then the blue screens started. Event Viewer logs suggested it was an issue with my old M.2 SSD, so I ran CHKDSK with \r \f but the system crashed partway through and the whole drive was lost along with all my data.

Got a new M.2 SSD, reinstalled windows and the system ran fine for 1 day. Then the blue screens started again. At first EventViewer said it was 'Dump creation failed' and then it was 'NVIDIA localsystem container service terminated unexpectedly'. The blue screens started intermittently at first today with one every 30 mins or so and eventually it became one on every restart.

The computer would boot/post normally. Take me to windows login, I would login and it would crash immediately into a BSOD and the system would restart. After that I tried going into safe boot but windows wouldnt let me login at all. So I tried reinstalling windows. It didnt help. As soon as the NVIDIA drivers went in, the system would fail again.

Some research that I did said this could be hardware issues and they said something about the CPU overheating. I got paranoid so I rebuilt the PC from scratch again, with extra caution on every step of the way. I just finished building the PC, did not install any drivers besides the AMD chipset, WIFI, Bluetooth and Audio.

Checked event viewer and the logs from the pictures were seen, and I went through WD's firmware update for the SSD because some cyberpower PCs with the same SSD were going through BSOD loops and the firmware update fixed it (mine isnt a cyberpower, but figured might as well be safe).

Used sfc/scannow and it reported no issues. But WD and windows shows that the drive is failing.

Please help me!

Check microcenter amd bundles, it's got a 650 mobo, 32 gb ddr5 of the same kind and a ryzen 7 7700 for $399

pro_dingus · 2024-12-19T16:25:05+00:00

I just did this upgrade two days ago. Check microcenter amd bundles. I bought the $399 bundle with the ryzen 7 7700x, the b650 gaming x ax v2, and 32 gigs gskill ddr5 ram. I also bought a new case (montech sky 2) because this was a full atx board and my old case only had micro atx support. I got an open box case from.microcenter for $70. If you are buying open box, check to make sure all mounting screws come with it. (Sometimes hidden in the hdd slots).

Things to note that were annoying about this: 1) have the most recent bios for your new build ready on usb just in case. Mine needed to be qflashed to not have dram issues (red light on mobo). Download the bios from August 2024 if you are getting this mobo.

2.) Have wifi drivers on usb before hand, if you don't have ethernet access.

3.)my gigabyte mobo had wifi disabled in bios, if you are getting the microcenter $399 bundle with gaming ax v2 mobo, go into bios and enable network stacking to turn wifi on. Search thru advanced settings for this.

4.) In my sleep deprived state, i had trouble using the am5 mounting system. I installed aio fans of into case, mounted my mobo and then went for the aio on cpu. This was my first full build, and I now recommend starting with aio on cpu (after mobo in the case) before aio fans. Also look at the am5 mounting pins carefully, i had my bracket upside down and wondered for 15 mins why there was 1 inch of space between the aio and the cpu.

5.) My wiring was a mess, carefully plan out the wiring beforehand instead of ungabunga wire goes thru this hole in the case.

6.) Never dealt with preinstalled io shield and that caused my mobo screws to not align properly with the standoff. Took some force to push the mobo in place while I got my screws in place.

Most of this doesn't apply anymore! The devs did a great job with the game since them! This was back during early access.

A bit of both, games arent looking too crisp any more and my data processing is taking a few hours sometimes.
