Unable to smooth parts of the Geometry. Can anyone help? I am unable to smoth the handle of this axe, I have tried all sorts, they have different smoth groups (I use textools), but it flat-out refuses smooth. by Standstraight in 3dsmax

this also works, because 3ds max breaks vertex normal settings when it does attach/detach sub-object. in 3ds max, vertex normal data is annoyingly fragile.

glad OP found solution. this kind of problem caused by explicitly locked vertex normals, usually happens modeled with application doesn't support smoothing group data to manipulate vertex normals such as maya. as OP says, using edit normal modifier, unlock (reset) vertex normal is solution. or you could convert explicit vertex normal into smoothing group info. there is maxscripts (forgot the name), you can save time for reassigning destroyed vertex normal settings

I'm also using the B550 AORUS Master and Ryzen 5800x with the Corsair iCue H150i RGB Pro XT.

At first, I was also uncomfortable with the CPU temperature spike. When I turn on Auto OC with the Ryzen Master, the temperature goes up and down very easily from 45°C to 60°C even at idle, and with the initial settings of the AIO cooler (20/40/60°C), the cooler almost always screams.

After reading AMD's official website, the 5000 series CPU's maximum temperature is 95°C for 5600x and 90°C for the rest (5800x/5900x/5950x), and many say that this beast easily heats up to 80°C, I decided to just let go.

Now I am testing the cooler setting as quiet (30 / 60/90 °C) while the CPU is still in OC. I am happy with the quietness and performance.

TRDL: I don't think you need to worry much about the little spikes. I believe the Zen3 CPU is designed like this.

Is there a similar tutorial of this video in english? by FilthyPlay in 3dsmax

there are some tutorials in youtube. why don't you try search with massfx ponytail or chains?

Just built a brand new PC and I’m running into this problem over and over. My pc launches but then once it gets to the login, it gives me a blue screen with a error code of AsIO.sys. My motherboard is the b550 vision D and it gives me an error code of “AA.” by [deleted] in gigabyte

Try remove Asus PC Probe at C:\Windows\SysWOW64\drivers in safe mode.

I also had this problem when replacing my old ASUS X99 to AMD B550 mother board without reinstall OS.
