elmor Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 Is anyone having USB over-current issues without putting Vaseline on the board, specifically on the fuses? Seems we have a lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrWeez Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Is anyone having USB over-current issues without putting Vaseline on the board, specifically on the fuses? Seems we have a lead. About to prep an apex for LN2 with vaseline, should i coat the fuses with nail polish first or is not using vaseline the suspect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmor Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 About to prep an apex for LN2 with vaseline, should i coat the fuses with nail polish first or is not using vaseline the suspect? Coating with nail-polish should work. A fix seems to be removing vaseline + heat the fuses. Easiest is to use a hairdryer or heatgun to ~70*C PCB temp.

PACE Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 My Apex often (50% of the time?) hangs on A2 when I have pressed the safe boot button after a crash. Any idea what causes this? It might be since I installed the a 6600K or 7700K, but definately didn't do this on same BIOS with 7350K and 6700K. I can't remember exactly when it started doing it, and it isn't a huge problem because a 2nd press of safe boot and it works fine... More curious if it's a setting within BIOS I am using or a bug/CPU thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnathonm Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Hi Elmor, I left you a message about modding the Maximus hero IX latest bios with the latest EFI and Option roms. I would compensate you. JM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
