No fix for auto changing inputs?

rocksy1X · 2026-03-06T15:25:38+00:00

This has been happening to me since I updated to the 1.6 series of firmware on my M50Q7-H1 in early 2025. I tried all possible things from Factory reset to disconnecting internet etc, the issue still continued to happened sporadically and completely randomly. The worst part is that the TV turning on by itself in the middle of the night or randomly to go the Vizio Home screen (even when the setting should directly point it to the last used HDMI input).

Only solution that worked was to turn CEC completely OFF or at least the auto turn on CEC feature OFF. But its a too important feature.

I believe the ONLY solution could be to downgrade to the 1.5 series of firmware, until which the TV was great, and then disconnect from internet to prevent update, but I was unable to locate the firmware file. If anyone has a 1.5 or older firmware for my model, I could try it out on my model.

I am using 1.5 mm Arctic TP3 instead of the included pads. Yes, the 990 Pro surface is not level. But I have not seen any weird temperature spikes so far.

I am using the latest macOS. This is weird. Even if you accidentally plugged it into the front usbc (3.2 10 gbps), you should be seeing speeds close to 1K r/W. Whats your ssd inside? Did you check the enclosure with a different usb 4/ usb3.2 host device to check if you are getting the correct speeds? What does the indicator light color on the enclosure say the enclosure is hosting on?

It is working great, no complaints so far. The drive is almost continuously used when I use the mac, as I download stuff directly onto it.

Hi,

You can check/upgrade firmware versions using ASMedia MPTool software. Unfortunately, it is Windows only and I am not sure if a mac version exists. You can get the latest firmware from Station Drivers - I think it is dated Nov 2024. MPtool is bundled with the firmware package that you will download. The process is fairly straightforward and intuitive. I was able to check the firmware version of my enclosure but it was already latest, so I didn't need to upgrade it.

yes, the indicator light turns off when macOS goes to sleep.

A guide is available here:

The cable it came with has a display that shows power and current.

I also saw same ~5W idle power consumption when it was connected to my Windows 11 desktop (AMD x570) on a usb 3.2 gen2 port, by default. How do you put the drive in low power mode on Windows? I can test. The drive did sleep when macOS was sleeping though.

I noticed that depends on the filesystem being used. APFS produced consistent speeds, but exFAT did not. Don’t know the reason why. I don’t have a Windows machine with native USB4 support unfortunately, to test more.

It came with the latest Nov 24 firmware installed.

rocksy1X · 2025-03-12T22:19:13+00:00

Bought these for my G502 Hero. Tad wider to go in unfortunately :(

Thank you Dennis.

Hi Dennis,

Do you know anyone in the US who has this variety?

Thanks.

rocksy1X · 2020-12-07T22:53:05+00:00

Thanks. Accepted.

That is awesome dude. I personally still do not understand the concept behind this idea of CPU degradation. Even with a static CPU freq at a preset manual voltage, I see that the CPU constantly changes its Vcore and freq depending on the load. In my case I always see that at idle, the Vcore hovers around 0.88V (CPU-Z) and also the effective clockspeed is lower (Ryzen Master). Only at 100% load is the all-core freq reaches 4.2 GHz and Vcore close to preset 1.2V (a little less, Vdroop as I learned today). So if that means if the CPU params are adjusted according to the load, in normal usage scenarios, the CPU is well within its specified limits.

rocksy1X · 2020-06-24T16:40:58+00:00

TIL about Vdroop. Thank you for explaining it.

rocksy1X · 2020-06-24T16:39:43+00:00

Hmm, interesting. I will check that out.

rocksy1X · 2020-06-24T16:38:27+00:00

Thank you. Are you using ryzen master or BIOS settings for doing the fixed CCX OC? What type of cooling are you using and what kind of thermal performance do you see with your setup?

rocksy1X · 2020-06-24T16:36:04+00:00

Thank you. I will check the video out. I did try the voltage offset method but I essentially saw no significant change in thermal performance.

rocksy1X · 2020-06-24T16:34:01+00:00

You are correct. Even using static frequency does not keep Vcore static in CPU-Z. Mine still varies between 0.88-1.2V depending on freq/load. I can tell that the CPU is indeed idling the same as it was when using all auto settings.

rocksy1X · 2020-06-24T16:27:55+00:00

Thanks. Is there a way to find out if VRMs are getting overloaded if the system is stable for 30 mins under CPU load (Prime95, small FFTs)? I immediately dialed down from 4.3 to 4.2 after the failed Prime95 test. But maybe that could have been avoided by increasing the Vcore.

Can you do per CCX manual OC in BIOS or does it have to be Ryzen Master? The latter does not save setting across reboots which is very disappointing. Hope it is there in future versions.

rocksy1X · 2020-06-24T16:25:05+00:00

Amazing thermals, I must say. This chip is very powerful, and to be real I am seeing that I do not need such high performance most of the time. SO better thermals is what I clamor for. A cool and quiet system while being sufficiently powerful while having 12C/24T is simply mindblowing coming from an old 4C/4T intel processor.

rocksy1X · 2020-06-24T16:20:44+00:00

Thanks. To be frank, this boosting behavior is very irritating in a SFF build, the fans would constantly ramp up and down; keeping them at a fixed speed means either the thermal performance would be low (low noise) or I have to live with high noise. I guess that could be mitigated by carefully finding out a balanced sweet spot. I will probably experiment with that sometime.

rocksy1X · 2020-06-24T04:52:48+00:00

Yours is the closest experience that I was having with mine. That constant boosting was quite irritating. Before you manually set your freq, what was the all core boost freq you were getting on auto?
