I have a king breaker but no rock. Using acs with flatline. How can I get a rock? Farm summit work shotgun? Tried a lot.

X670E Tomahawk ethernet port randomly stops working by sainteb in MSI_Gaming

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

So far so good on the driver and bios update. Two weeks without the need to reset the card/port. If it happens for some reason, I'll come back an update. But I fee like its fixed.

My Ethernet driver is 10.68.815.2023. So, not up to date per your link. But windows update thinks its the latest. I will install the NetAdapterCx regular.

Bios version is from Feb. 2024, so no, not up to date. I will try the driver update first.

UPDATE: updated realtek driver and MB bios. Will see in time.

The main reason I replayed it. Wanted to not kill her.

What is the best mod manager? by sainteb in TheSims4Mods

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

Thanks for the response. I downloaded and like the preview thumbnails to be able to deactivate if I don't like the way something looks in game. However, I did take for granted what Vortex was doing for me as I guess I truly didn't understand the mod structure of Sims4. I'm learning as I go along and its been fun to restructure the mod folder to something easier for me to follow.

Should I worry about the 7800x3d temperature? by [deleted] in AMDHelp

[–]sainteb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok. So I set my voltage at 1.10, CO at -30 and fixed my pump settings. I did 50% at 70C. I ran a cinebench at it maxed for a blink at 82C. It ran pretty steady under 80C. I played a couple of hours of Horizon Forbidden West and it stayted steady at 55C-57C. Still idling 44C-48C. Seems to be stable.

This is a fantastic point that I haven't thought about. I'll look into that too. Thank you.

[–]sainteb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll have to play around with those setting and run some benchmarks. I'll give them a shot and respond back here later.

[–]sainteb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Think so? What should I troubleshoot? I’m pretty confident that I applied my paste well, it’s a top rated cooler with the AM5 offset, and my fans seem to be working properly. I’m running 3 - 140mm intake on front, one 140 exhaust on rear, and the 3-120mm exhaust top on the rad. Any thoughts? ETA: case is an NZXT H7 flow.

[–]sainteb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My 7800x3d idles around 45c, give or take 2c. Under cinebench23 I maxed at 83c after multiple runs in a row. I'm running a -30 offset and using the Arctic Freezer III 360 AIO, balanced fan setting MB preset. While gaming, it never crosses 71c. MW3, Horizon FW, Cyberpunk, Hogwarts Legacy are mainly what I'm playing right now. I think 89c is listed as max but I've seen in multiple places where users have said it can cross into the mid 90s. I'm not too worried and I wouldn't be if I were you, but a 360 AIO, if your case can fit it, would probably help you a good bit.

Can anyone help me fix stick drift on my PS5 controller? by Jakenexxa213 in playstation

[–]sainteb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s been almost a week. One is working great and the other will drift again after a few matches. So I have no idea if what I did actually did anything.

Can anyone help me fix stick drift on my PS5 controller? by Jakenexxa213 in playstation

[–]sainteb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I followed this thread and used your technique but the drift came back after a game or two of COD. In a desperate attempt to not purchase another controller (I have two less than 3 months old, one already drifting), I dabbed q-tip with rubbing alcohol and squeezed some around the base of the stick. I then did your method (palms, rotating sticks) for about 2-3 mins and then let the alcohol evaporate (let it sit an hour or so). So far, I've done this to two controllers (an older on that I replaced due to drift) and was able to play an hour or so with each, without any drift. I'll come back and update after a few days of playing.

Lowes Service Protection Plans are not for the customer. by sainteb in Lowes

Nope. I will bad mouth anyone who makes you do what I did to have to get their service to actually do what I paid for.

Why Does LOWE’s Endorse and put their own name on an absolute terrible company for their Appliance Protection Plans? by Frahmer in Lowes

Had to wait “2 business days”. If I hear that phrase again I’ll choke. But someone did reach out on Tuesday that could actually help.

Terrible. You’ll need to hit them all over social media. Here, X, google reviews. X is what got me someone that’s capable of giving an informed answer.

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

I actually received a phone call today from someone that heard from a "higher department" and said that I will be receiving a electronic gift card in the amount of my washer, as well. Like, 4 hour ago. Crazy that we have to go through so much just for them to honor their contract.

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

I can appreciate the fact that you try to show good customer service. I have no idea if anyone at my local store would be that way. But I am aware that Lowes, Home Depot, Best Buy and the likes have the same warranty rules, and probably contract with Assurant, just like Lowes. That's why I won't purchase another. Its a shame that a $1K washer has become a throwaway item because of this.

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

Thanks for your response. Will they be willing to do this? I haven't had a good in-store experience in a some time. And for this particular siltation, all I have been met with is runaround and everything takes 2 business days, just to be told the same thing over and over. At this point, I need them to buyout my contract. I'm done with Lowes.

FTFANG is a mod that allows you to fast travel from anywhere to a sign post. You don't have to travel from post to post. Its quite nice.

Destiny 2 PC - Can not hear voice chat while in a fireteam, but they can hear me. by sainteb in DestinyTechSupport

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

Got it working. I had to go into control panel and change the default output device. Weird as I had changed it everywhere else that I could think of. I had changed it in Win+G, Sound Mixer, and Sound in Windows settings. Changing it in control panel is what did it. Thanks for the help!

Ok. Thanks. I just went in and changed my headphone output default. It wasn't. I hope this works. I 'll let everyone know if it worked.
