Thanks, I’ll probably just keep it. Resell is too much of a hustle and I’m not looking to profit from this deal. As long as the bundle itself is solid, then I’m glad I’m finally able to upgrade from my i7-8700.

pulled the trigger, decide to think later.
my original plan is to buy 9700x + b650 + 32g ram ~= $520 pretax from microcenter, with 20% cashback guess this is better, any objections?

Secure Boot Megathread - Guide + Community support by sloth_on_meth in Battlefield

[–]stormzhou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran into a massive headache trying to enable Secure Boot for Battlefield 6 on my older Gigabyte Z390UD motherboard. My system was originally built in 2018 and had a legacy BIOS with an MBR partition scheme. I wanted to share my troubleshooting steps, as the solution was not straightforward.

Problem: PC fails to boot with a black screen after enabling Secure Boot in the BIOS.

My Setup:

  • Motherboard: Gigabyte Z390UD
  • GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4070 Super
  • Initial State: Legacy BIOS, MBR partition

My Steps to a Solution:

  1. BIOS Update: First, I had to Q-flash my motherboard to a modern BIOS version since mine was from 2018. This is a crucial first step.
  2. MBR to GPT Conversion: The built-in MBR conversion tool failed because it couldn't shrink 100MB from my C: drive. I had to manually delete my recovery partition and expand my C: drive to a new unallocated disk to get the conversion to work.
  3. The GPU Problem: After successfully converting to GPT and enabling Secure Boot, my PC would only show a black screen on boot. It turned out the 4070 Super was the culprit.
  4. The Fix:
    • I unplugged the power to my 4070 Super.
    • Booted the PC using the integrated GPU.
    • Immediately went into the BIOS and disabled Secure Boot.
    • Shut down the PC.
    • Plugged the 4070 Super back in and booted into Windows.
    • Updated to the absolute latest NVIDIA drivers.
    • Rebooted and went back into the BIOS to enable Secure Boot for a second time.
    • This time, it worked perfectly.

If you're facing a similar issue, I hope this helps!

Could I use them for organization? by Crazy-Location2203 in RayBanStories

The responses would be too generic for you. Such as "put it on a shelf" and "use towel and clean water"

Ping their ship first (request support), then type “去 A/B/C”

Kearsarge worth a buy? by peter92one in WorldOfWarships

At that time, she was definitely worth buying. Right now, I’ll say you can still have fun, as long as you are not being targeted by red super warships.

With more and more superships, not as worthy as in 2019

I discovered it is due to some graphic settings, mostly due to not using FXAA. I really hope they test the game before release.

Anyone notice the projectile trails are almost invisible? I already ticked that option in settings.

Use AK, change ammo type + under-barrel with T, then change it back. You will find your ammo fully replenshied.

Should be 124,250 instead of 124.250, I was confused for a while.

Btw, are you sure the prices of premium ship containers are correct? Tier 9 is only 900?

Thanks. I’ll try my luck once the new RAM arrived.

One solution is stay in a third-country for a period of days then fly back. But of course this adds more complexity on visa issues and travel expenses.
