@@RetroBoxRoom I don't own a Konix, so I don't know. I've sprayed contact cleaner in each switch, but the problem is specifically with the diagonal moves to the up/left & up/right. I figured since the 'up' switch is common to both, perhaps it's the problem. Oddly, all other directions work just fine.

Me and my friend Jeff used to log onto the local BBS back in the day and download software (ahem!) to try it out on my 300 baud modem and my C64. We'd wait for AGES for a game to download, then load it up and....it wouldn't work half the time. Still, I remember those days with fondness. Some of the PETSCII BBSes did some very clever things with PETSCII animation. I was in heaven when my mom and dad bought me a 1200 baud modem for Christmas.

It has been two months since this. How is your experience so far? I'm waiting to the upcoming AVP Europe release next week to get a solo knit band but I'm concerned about how will it behave using it with a quest pro style facial like yours. I mean, since it doesn't have top strap, it relies on pressing the headset over your face and, without the full facial support, I guess it may be pressing the forehead too much. What's your experience?
@RetroBoxRoom2 ай бұрын
I have since started using a top strap as well. It’s a padded one I got from a cheap strap that has a padded bit going from front to back. I use the padded bit to go from ear to ear. Apart from that the Quest Pro style face plate is great for movies and AR. I wouldn’t recommend it for games or exercise with fast movement. It’s the face plate that lets the side down for that kind of thing. The Apple and top straps with the 3D prints, and a decent face plate that stops light bleed, are a great combo for the Q3. TL;DR, The Apple strap remains the best setup for the Q3 in my humble opinion. Thanks for watching!

Massively impressive - surely one of the oldest devices that isn’t class compliant that still has an up to date Windows driver?

If you're screwing a screw that has a thread meant for plastic (ie. a self tapping thread) it's a good idea to turn the screw slowly counter clockwise until you feel a very light click and start screwing clockwise. That will ensure that the screw doesn't start a new thread.

I've been running it like this daily for nearly nine months now, without any problems. Since the graphics card is a 4090, I'm guessing it's pushing out plenty of heat. The sound card has its own backplate, so the PCB is sheilded. The case has fans at the front, top and back, that are helping circulate cooler air. It would take extremely hot air, in close proximity to make any difference, and the air simply isn't getting anywhere close in temperature or distance to make a difference. Thanks for watching

Thanks for posting this video & in 4k! =) I built a ridiculously overpriced PC for uni back in like 2017-18 that used this motherboard + the i9-7980xe. The CMOS battery died on me last year but I've been ignoring it by leaving my computer permanently plugged into the wall lol. I just moved flat and now it is giving me Code A0 & BS - CMOS Error, so I cannot avoid this hell any longer. The last time I looked into this, I saw a horror story on Reddit over a guy who had to dismantle his water loops to remove the motherboard & soldered a battery holder onto the board, which massively put me off. Your video showed me that while it still is a pain in the bum, it's not so bad as I was making it out to be. I'm likely going to have to do exactly what you did but next weekend over the easter break. I just need to make sure I wire the correct wires together, but hey - that's why they are Red & Black right lol? Also, which IDIOT engineer looked at this board & thought - oh yeah, what this needs for the single serviceable part is, lets put on a laptop battery on instead & make it completely inaccessible. I'm going to have to dismantle my x4 1080 Ti's in SLI for this crap. Anyway, thank you so much for posting this & linking the Amazon parts. I will let you know how the critical operation goes... EDIT: I see that you attached the new battery holder to new laptop battery end which then plugs into the board, do you have a link for that? If not, I will just use the original one as I'm not particularly familiar with Laptop CMOS batteries aha!

Thank you very much for the kind words. I really hope it helps you out. Mine had the i9-7980xe as well. Though it only had a single 1080ti. It currently has a 4070 and acts as my VR machine. Yours is definitely a beast of a machine. I recommend selling your 4x 1080ti and grabbing a more modern GPU if you've got the budget. As you know, sadly SLI isn't a thing any more. Any "CR2032 CMOS" battery with wires and plug will do, since it's not really the battery you're after. Amazon / eBay will show you loads. Personally I'd just use the original one, since it'll help cut back on ewaste. I'll put a link in the description to the one I personally bought, before knowing about the fancy holder. I look forward to hearing how you get on!

It was always a bit of a broken pipe dream trying to get x6 1080p screens to sync in 3x2 format. In the end, Nvidia screwed me because you can only get 'Nvidia Surround' working rather than 'Nvidia Mosaic' on those GPUs which limits you to combining a max of 4 screens into a single virtual display. I recently bought the new Samsung Odyssey G9 57" Monitor to replace my old setup & to power this beast I'm looking to scrap my 1080 Ti's in favor of something like a 4080+. I'm a bit gutted though because the Rampage VI only have Gen 3.0 PCIE slots, so it makes me anxious about trying to use a Gen 4.0 PCIE slot card. Not sure if it is worth waiting till the end of the year until the 5k series get released? I will keep you posted on how the surgery op goes aha.
