Well I finally discovered why 2201 wasn't Win 11 ready. For some reason that bios was changing the OS Type under secure boot to Other OS instead of Windows UEFI mode. Changing it to UEFI now shows it as Win 11 ready as to 2301 bios screw it! Asus has problems with it and I'm not going down that...

I mean Asus "claims" the change from 2201 to 2301 is that the TPM is activated by default there are no other changes in the bios so they say. So for it to boot and restart normally on 2201 then do this double start bit with 2301 leads me to believe there is something else in this bios then just...

I've got a Z490-I that acted normal on bios 2201. I installed 2301 (which all this is supposed to change is have the TPM crap setup on default in bios for Win 11) Ever since this bios the computer does what seems like a dual start both from cold booting and from a restart. IE it acts like when...

Played on the side of caution and shut the pc down. Still had a 20 watt draw on the ups figured it was just my router and modem or something so killed the ups. Then heard our security camera dvr fan go off. DOH. Completely forgot it was connected oh well. Battery pulled out without issue and...

Well the instructions on their page shows to lay it on the side, slide the bottom cover off, grab the two tabs on the old battery and pull it out. Reverse for replacement install. Seems simple enough I'm just a bit iffy on doing this while plugged in and having powered on stuff connected to it. LOL

So my 1000G started screaming yesterday to replace the battery. Have one due out for delivery today and they advertise it as hot-swappable with no down time but is this really advisable? I see people in reviews talk about charging theirs for 48 hours with nothing connected to the UPS. If that...

So curious what other HC owners temps are and your config. Maybe it's just the nature of the 30 series but I'm seeing around 10C higher temps then with my 2080 TI. My config is XT45 280mm--->3080 XC3 HC--->ST30 v2 280mm--->10850K--->ST30 280mm X-flow--->D5/res All rads have SL140 Uni fans...

Does clean all eventually say anything other then your screen shot? Like task complete or something LOL Surprised there isn't a % complete ticking away so you know it's actually doing something.

Any chance of a photo of the card/block at the back of the inside of the case near the pci slots to show how far down the block comes into the second pci slot space? Wondering if the EK block hangs lower then the HC blocks. Don't really want to change my 280GTS for a XT45 due to fitting...

I normally have browser windows open especially with trying to cop both of those cards for each system (1080FTW on daily and 2080TI on game rig currently) but I do have the display set to turn off in windows after 5 minutes. Is there a need to actually power off the display during the day if...

To save me from digging through 180+ pages how has the CX been working after all this time for PC display purposes and gaming with Gync? I know there used to be a bunch of quirks when these first came out. Has anyone experienced burn in problems yet with heavy browser usage? Currently I have the...
