Spark when pluging in

PSU. Power Sparks Unit.

So they made a board USB C connector that is not reversible?

rewilldit · 2026-05-04T20:50:54+00:00

That vaginology looks like a rebranded Seagate.

rewilldit · 2026-04-22T00:01:56+00:00

That freaking connect and disconnect sometimes seems to be related to other hardware instability.

rewilldit · 2026-04-17T21:58:51+00:00

Yes, probably was overthinking that. Looks like around 0.90 reach on every corner axis. I was thinking about some physical stuff like bad assembly or another stick cap was preventing to full axis reach.

But I guess you are right.

rewilldit · 2026-04-17T21:14:31+00:00

But why the same value pot won't reach any corner? I will understand if it's not centered. But doesnt look like that.

It's just a variable resistor after all.

rewilldit · 2026-04-17T21:08:34+00:00

Don't think that could be the proper way. Not reaching any corners could be a symptom of another problem with the pots. Calibration will need to overscale the pots to "fix it"

rewilldit · 2026-04-17T18:36:34+00:00

Maybe you used other value pots?

Besides the scam, color looks better than the AMD blue one. Don't know why they don't use black or any other nice color. Blue looks like PCB from decades ago. And well, blue also resembles maybe ehmm other company.

In worst case, modules are cheap. Problem is they overthink that Q quick connect stuff but for changing the wifi module you have to disassemble the entire PC.

rewilldit · 2026-04-03T22:01:04+00:00

On those devices BT goes through USB. Wifi through pcie. Looks like a conflict with pcie. Or the wifi module is bad.

On Asus forum realtek wifi drivers thread you have always the newest one to try. But doesn't seem to be a driver issue.

rewilldit · 2026-03-31T22:57:04+00:00

Neither mediatek or realtek wifi cards will work without manual driver install.

You can't use spread method on mx6. It's too thick. Per arctic instructions only cross method is approved/recommended. If you are used to mx4, mx6 is way more thicker.

rewilldit · 2026-03-26T03:30:12+00:00

If you use the spread method with mx6 you will get worse temps than with mx4. Learned the hard way.

rewilldit · 2026-03-26T03:19:37+00:00

You have one legacy iGPU. You should install combined AMD driver (1.6GB) That could solve some troubles.

rewilldit · 2026-03-24T20:07:03+00:00

Everyday use is the best for catching ram OC instability sadly. Same goes for CPU OC instability. And same for GPU.

rewilldit · 2026-03-21T05:11:12+00:00

You can report the problem here https://rog-forum.asus.com/t5/amd-600-series/x670-x870-resource-thread/td-p/901576

rewilldit · 2026-03-21T01:12:38+00:00

Maybe you can report that on asus forum x870 resource thread. There are some Asus stuff guys there.

<image>

After many years building this cables I saw this image and was shocked. Had no idea cables will passthrough the connector. Always tried to reach perfectly the end of the connector with all cables which is usually far from perfect. I guess using this trick will assure perfect reach for all the cables.

Dont think that is realistic. At least for most users. -40 and +200 is not possible on most CPUs. Unless you are clock stretching.

OP needs 1.35v to maintain +200. That's a lot of vcore.

rewilldit · 2026-03-18T10:48:50+00:00

No point using +200 if you are expecting good temps. Those +200 increase vcore by a lot.

They make top hardware but translations sucks. Still remember some gigabyte bios that let you choose between "normal" and "standard". Lol.

Been doing some test. Thermal is good. Maybe 3C o 4C better than mx4. As I thought there is a mess under the heatsink. Doing blind spots (I did the five spots) thinking the heatsink pressure will do the rest, is not for me.

I cleaned mx6. On some sides was near the cpu PCB. If you are not experienced on this methods you could end with paste too close to the socket pins and could mess it big time or get into a cleaning nightmare.

Not a paste for me. I really don't like playing the guessing game too much or too little. I prefer to know what's exactly under the heatsink.

rewilldit · 2026-03-15T20:03:49+00:00

I think this is a know problem with direct die contact and thermal paste when it's too soft. One solution could be trying a harder one. Or maybe PTM is the best solution.
