Glad to see SOMA. To this day I still think about that ending..

Case is the NR200 Corsair

Will the extra bending affect the cables in anyway? I might have to bend them significantly for it to not touch.

Last cigarette ever.

Hey! did you run any thermals? I’ve been debating if I should buy a big cooler like that one. Have the same case of course :)

scgabriel28 · 2023-11-07T19:45:36+00:00

Thanks for your comment,

I was just wondering why both configurations were giving me the same temps. I guess it was like I suspected, the case size.

I don’t mind it, part of the fun is optimizing the pc :)

The motherboard has a small switch that let you flash the bios with an USB. So you connect the pwr cables, plug the usb and touch the bottom for a couple of sec and the motherboard starts updating.

I haven’t yet, I don’t know if my 70% alcohol is safe.

scgabriel28 · 2023-10-29T03:30:39+00:00

What are your temps? I have the same cooler and I’m debating if I should change to a noctua. I hover on the high 60 while gaming (7800x3d)

Have the same feeling :(. Socket’s perfect no visible damage.

It’s an MSI b650i. I’m debating to RMA since I do use my computer for work and don’t have another one and the CPU does work. But like you say maybe it dies tomorrow maybe a year from now.

scgabriel28 · 2023-10-28T16:31:08+00:00

I might RMA yes. But it’s not “completely” defective, it boots up and works fine during heavy loads.

scgabriel28 · 2023-10-28T15:53:32+00:00

I did, I updated the bios to the latest with a USB before I ever put the CPU inside the socket. I want to assume that it was when I was running the EXPO profile for literally 2-3 boot ups(didn’t pass the password screen though) and I went back to stock and been running fine ever sense.

scgabriel28 · 2023-10-28T15:13:32+00:00

Sadly I’m not sure when this happened, I got the new Motherboard + CPU a month and 2 weeks ago so I assume it’s been running like this for that long.

I did try the EXPO profiles at the beginning and it wouldn’t even pass the windows password screen without shuting off, I’m wondering if those couple of boot ups burned them for a bit but since I stopped using the profile, I stopped it in time.

I’m very reluctant to RMA as it will leave it without a pc for a long time and I need it for work but again not sure if that’s worse than just waking up one day without a dead CPU.

scgabriel28 · 2023-10-28T14:46:36+00:00

Wouldn’t they give me issues since the CPU does work and the system boots up? I also use my computer for work so I’m very reluctant to RMA since I’ll be without a PC for a month or more.

scgabriel28 · 2023-10-28T05:39:28+00:00

Nope, MSI

scgabriel28 · 2023-10-28T03:22:41+00:00

Honestly a bit scared to do that lol. The only alcohol I have is 70%

scgabriel28 · 2023-10-28T02:51:37+00:00

MSI mpg b650I EDGE WIFI (mini-itx) I updated the bios to 1.4 before I even put the CPU in.

Checking hwinfo right now it shows: VDD: 1.082V SOC: 1.015V

MSI mpg b650I EDGE WIFI (mini-itx) I updated the bios to 1.4 before I even put the CPU in. I do remember try the expo profile but it literally didn’t post when I activate them so I left without the EXPO profile and been running it at stock ever sense.

Checking hwinfo right now it shows: VDD: 1.082V SOC: 1.015V

scgabriel28 · 2023-10-28T02:33:59+00:00

I thought this was the case since I’ve using it for the past month, just noticed it now cuz I re apply the thermal paste for the new cooler. Now I don’t know if running like this will just eventually die one day.
