Nice, I just updated. Quite a few bugfixes in relation to Navi in the details.

Worst part about gravel is you never know the condition of the roads/paths/trails.

Tonight during a scouting trip for tomorrow night's 40K we came across tons of unpassable headlands that recently got chopped up to be graded in the future. Tons of backtracking, trying to navigate in the dark in the middle of a cane field. In purple is the main route which fcked shtt up. You can see how much we back tracked. Again, ignore time.

What 5X do you have? Did you get the kit to track power?

It's the Fenix 5x sapphire edition(a watch). No,I don't have a power meter, but I'm considering getting one. It depends on what crankset I go with on the new bike.

Yea I know dude. I thought about buying one. Think I will. What size you have?

They have a kit you can buy together to monitor power output.

I have the regular sized one. I was going to get the Plus but it's way too big. The speed and cadence sensors I haven't gotten around to getting yet, mainly just waiting till I get a smart trainer. Also, for mtb, there's so many variables that it's hard to get usable data without a dedicated power meter. Speed and cadence can only do so much.

Congrats but PCs take like 30mins to put together. Then it's loading crap.

Wth will y'all do?

Watch the status bar?

Yeah I want the big one but I might wear the thing daily and 51mm looks like you need to take it off when typing/using keyboard.

Mine is the 51mm one, actually. It's not too terribly big. I was thinking the Plus was bigger, but it just has added features like altitude oxygen acclimation.

This is the one I have.

My fiancees uncle always raves about his garmin watch like it's one of his kids

He'll casually go out and do a 90 mile bike ride and then decide at the spurt of the moment to do an Iron Man triathlon

He's been in IT the whole time, has a bunch of stuff he's bring over to test as well (on X570 I presume).

Oh yeah, and we'll be drinking and OC-ing, a lot.

He didnt say, but he probably has a few Ryzen processors he wants to try out on it and see how they perform/OC. Maybe throw somethings in PCI 4.0 to see any differences potentially too (no idea, he just said he's bringing some shite over he wants to "test").

120" Benq HT2050

Will be upgrading to a HT3550 probably down the road when those hit the Benq refurb store for big discounts, so 4k gaming ahead for me (in extra, extra large format )

Should I update my BIOS every time there is an update. I would do it off a flash drive using the ASUS EZ Flash 3.

Depends. Read the forums.

They release half arse shht all the time, even something as crucial as BIOS.

Unless your MOBO holds dual BIOS. Then let one be da current and da otha be the stable. Update every time in that case.

Version 1105
2019/07/017.99 MBytes
ROG STRIX Z390-E GAMING 1105
-Improved DRAM compatibility.
-Improved system performance.
-Updated ME version to Ver.12.0.39
-Updated microcode for Security.
-Improved storage device compatibility.

I'll probably hold off for now. Just wondering, if everything is done properly, what are the actual chances of bricking?
