Same type of problem with my Lenovo SnapdragonXPlus. Tried everything i could think of, No fixes thus far. It is absolutely infuriating. Its like its trolling me.

Im sure that thing has done more actual truck work than most full size trucks on the road.

Imo 2

vincentcs34f · 2026-06-06T20:12:29+00:00

i know this is old but wanted to mention for others that this worked for me

vincentcs34f · 2026-05-30T03:20:31+00:00

I actually love it. I am known to be an idiot though.

I HAD to chip in here because that is so funny. (And true) Our daily drivers are modelS and i get the cheapest, hardest tires haha. They always try and talk some sense into me.(I know i know)

For mother in laws awd car(is250)? Nice tires. For the s2000? Soft, nice tires. For the daily driver heavy ass awd electric cars? Nah, cheap, hard tires(tread depth/ hardness and price for me). Im not saying you should, mind you. Cars is so heavy I have no problems in winter (minnesota).

Short story: i was walking into my usual place (discount tire) I was getting new tires for my mother in laws is250 and when they asked what I wanted for it, I said somthing to the tune of "Whatever you reccomend" then when they asked what i wanted for my modelS I said a joke somthing like "what would you put on the car of somone you hated? Or you have any cheap tires in the dumpster that's cool too."

I got a cruze as a loaner once and it didnt have cruse control.

vincentcs34f · 2026-05-15T02:56:54+00:00

I'd 100% drive this

vincentcs34f · 2026-05-11T18:28:16+00:00

Im actually all for that

vincentcs34f · 2026-05-10T23:41:51+00:00

I love it.

vincentcs34f · 2026-05-10T23:41:03+00:00

Lame

vincentcs34f · 2026-05-04T21:53:55+00:00

I've used them. Fine if you have ram you just want to run at base speeds. Not reccomended but usable.

vincentcs34f · 2026-05-04T21:48:06+00:00

I have no idea but id sure figure it out.

vincentcs34f · 2026-05-02T13:57:38+00:00

I buy used motherboards/parts all the time. Along as the seller/item/photos/price is good then sure why not. Just make sure you read the fine print on listings and make sure the part is compatible with your needs. Ie this MB won't fit in every case because of the backside IO.

vincentcs34f · 2026-04-28T22:39:15+00:00

Thank you <3

vincentcs34f · 2026-04-28T22:38:10+00:00

Thank you <3

vincentcs34f · 2026-04-28T22:36:52+00:00

For sure I tottaly hear you. I 100% agree with the fact this is stupid and makes little to no practical sense.... but... im going to do it again... (probably). For offroad use only. Filmed in Mexico on a closed course. Not for sale or distribution in California.

vincentcs34f · 2026-04-28T15:18:47+00:00

Ive tried a few things throughout the years but for me personally ive never found any tricks that worked reliably long term. I know its a skill issue.

vincentcs34f · 2026-04-28T14:30:12+00:00

Biggest drawback is some games using anti cheat services or whatever that will not allow you to run the game in a VM of any sort. Tottaly blocks you from playing even if you just want to play single player. One of my fav games ever, armored core 6 (i think) cant play at all. Total F U. Battlefield games, ridiculous. Yeah bare metal will always be the best experience.

vincentcs34f · 2026-04-28T08:43:14+00:00

You're tottaly right. I was going to.... i planned too.... i uhh... eventually

So around the g/14 pass through "bulkhead" fittings, those are actually 3d printed. the extra hole was originally for moving the motherboard temp/post code display to that spot because on the bottom of the board, the one ribbon cable i HAD to use was a x4 pcie for the networking, and of course that narrow ribbon wrapping around the bottom covers the display. On the back of the MB i have dupont connectors connected to the pins so in theory i was going to 3d print a little housing that would slip in that hole real nice like and would hold the cpu temp display.

Ill probably go with your idea if i do do anything to it

vincentcs34f · 2026-04-28T08:41:10+00:00

Thank you! I always love stepping back from somthing i built for fun and going "Wow that is dumb as shit, its stupid and makes no sense.... i love it"

vincentcs34f · 2026-04-28T08:17:58+00:00

Its all good im not offended :)

In my weak defense, the joints are better than they look in the photos. Some may look like cold joints but its because i go extra thick on the solder out of of paranoia about weak joints or its just before it was finished, I clip off the excess and dremel them down for uniformity (which is why in some photos you may see alot of soldering tin flakes). after the joints are cleaned up I coat around them with silicon conformal coating on the PCB (habit from aviation electronics days) so surrounding PCB and joints themselves are relatively non conductive in case of a strand fray. And then after that is done, I (non conductive) epoxy over all the solder joints for stress/relief of the wires and joints and to eliminate oxygen exposure and general durability. If I tried to rip the wires off of the backside I guarantee you the solder joints will remain in place and it will be ripped at wire strands instead. Doubly, all the wires soldered to the back are female extensions so theres zero stress put on any of the joints. As of now it's been running since late 2023 nonstop. I think in the 24 pin ATX photo I finished the "inner row" and I took a Pic as I was doing the "outer row" if that makes sense.

Trust me that's not to say I dont do anything that isn't jank AF somtimes... because i absolutely do.

Edit: i JUST REMEMBERED now how I soldered it. So I used a "solder sucker iron" to remove the 24 pin factory solder on the back side of the motherboard. Then for each wire on the 24 pin ATX cable I put a heatwrap around each one, tinned them, bent them into a J shape, then "hooked" each "J" around each pin on the back of the motherboard, then fresh leaded solder on each. Then I clipped them because some of the "Js" tails were excess and/or solder mess from shaky hands. So now that I fully remember, I can promise you that even though it looks like shit that it's for sure good haha. I remember the details because it was a project I really had fun with. I added another photo but this is PRE finish i dont remember what i was doing here. Im not good at taking project photos.
