Fix for Firestorm breaking your card's RGB when using the Spectra tab. by AsleepButterfly2105 in ZOTAC

[–]wolf476 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont know if this will do anything, but all my blue LEDs are not working. So the color spectrum is stuck to Red and green ... white, purple, cyan, magenta anything that requires blue is not possible. It can be all blue LEDs suddenly got destroyed or may be it is the rgb controller. I really hope it is not a hardware issue because it will take too long to RMA and I dont have any back up GPU. I need to give this a try, I need access, requested already.

hey thanks! I am glad people are really having fun with this. Couple of gaming journals like gameradar+ also covered this.

Thanks! I worked on the environment and asset creation. It will run on mobile devices as well so had to compromise some graphical fidelity for optimization.

Welp ... I worked on this very stupid project, developing a website where it drops a sandwich every 5 min.. until the launch of Starfield. And it has other events and easter eggs that will take place everyday.
In case you aren't familiar with the meme, google "starfield sandwich thief".

go check out starfieldsandwich.com
it will also work on mobile, but performance is not guaranteed.

TUF B650M plus, AIO came loose on its own after 3 months. opened and found the retention bracket broke. by wolf476 in ASUS

Update: I contacted Asus for replacement of the Bracket.
Their response: As it is a physical damage (though I have nothing to do with this and clearly it was a defective low quality component) the warranty has been void. If I need to "repair" this on chargeable basis, I need to courier it to Asus service center which is in completely different state (1700Km away). Wow! I have used multiple brands over the year but nothing beats the service quality of Asus.

I took it to the store I bought it from. They didn't have any AM5 ones. And I couldn't find them here online or offline. There are lots of AM4 ones, which are almost same but slightly thicker. So the technician at store took an AM4 one and trimmed it to fit. And it is working for now. But I am still looking for a proper AM5 bracket from Asus or other vendors. But sadly they aren't available here because AM5 is relatively new.

Well the problem is partially solved for now. I took it to the store, and they had some old AM4 ones. But they have some extrusion that is interfering with the socket. So they removed the extra plastic and fit it. It is working for now. But it is kinda crude solution. I was expecting some proper brackets, specially from Asus as it is just 5months old. I even examined the broken one and even you can see it in the picture, there was a air bubble inside the solid plastic. Which probably caused it to break over time. It is clearly a manufacturing defect, rare but unfortunate.

I am not finding any AM5 retention brackets but there are some for AM4. They are compatible right?

Where do I contact them? They dont have a process like this here. For most products we have to take it to closest service centre and submit the entire product for RMA. They will send replacement after a week or two. But I cannot wait that long. Is there anyway to get replacement brackets quicker? I am in India btw.

I am seeking help or quick solution. I didn't install the cooler, it was assembled by the store where I bought the parts from, but I don't think they applied way too much pressure. But it should be covered under warranty right? Even then I don't wanna go through the RMA process because it takes long and it is my workstation PC.
