I'm running the LG through a ConnectPro UDP-12AP at 120Hz and 10bit. I had to change the pixel format to 4:2:2 though. The screen would flash to black and back every once in a while at 4:4:4. This is more due to the KVM though. The UDP-12AP isn't nearly as capable as it's supposed to be...

Wouldn't recommend this monitor. I had two and both had issues. Just not a well implemented product. The design and exterior feel are the best parts.

That's a big rad! you should consider cutting out the bottom of the case and not using the stock fan brackets to get more GPU clearance.

If you go watch the video I posted (go to 12:18) you'll see the GPU in my case with waterblock. The waterblock isn't any longer than the PCB or stock cooler. I have a 3x180mm radiator w/ AP182 on the bottom, which is actually taller than the fans with stock fan mounts. Most NON-REFERENCE cards...

I didn't notice this till now (because it went to my spam folder), but Dell released a tech memo a few days ago about AW3821DW flickering. Interesting how they didn't mention the problem at 60Hz too...

Well I ran it air cooled before I got the WB (hence the air cooled temps I mentioned before). The card is the same length with or without the WB.

Absolutely sure. See for yourself:

Hrm, my reference 6900XT ran just fine with the air cooler in my FT02. Stayed nice and cool, and still not very hot during games (65-75C range).

So apparently these monitors have an issue with HDMI input that causes the flickering issue I had on my first panel. Well, the 2nd panel does it too!. If you're on HDMI input and 60Hz or less the screen will start to flicker and burn in the image of whatever you have on the screen. This image...

It was kind of cool seeing all the customer pics in the reviews at the bottom on there. Still enjoying my FT02 with 3x180mm radiator :).

Nope. I just reached out to them via their ticket submission system.

Ah, you're right! I forgot what I had originally set the monitor to in the OS with this PC since it died so soon after getting it. Disabling HDR let me see the bleed better, and it's more variable like the good AW panel compared to the LG.

So my replacement AW3821DW finally came in and I had some time to compare all three (LG 38GN950, defective AW3821DW, and new AW3821DW) screens. First off, getting the new AW3821DW highlighted some other things that were broken on my original. I thought it was some weird thing locked to the...

Why? I had my 3900x paired with an R9 290 up until this past weekend. The new CPU definitely helped some of my workloads go MUCH faster.

I'm a bit surprised he feels the GN's build quality is better too. I also have both, and the AW exterior quality is excellent and elegant. My GN's is perfectly acceptable, not as bad as the WN previously posted here, but not as elegant as the AW. On a side note, I might finally be getting my...

I have a BNIB 6900 XT Asrock Phantom Gaming D I'd like to trade for a reference PCB 6900 XT or 6800 XT + $. This card is longer than I anticipated and the fit isn't optimal for my case. Boost Clock: Up to 2340 MHz / Stock 2250 MHz Game Clock: 2105 MHz / Stock 2015 MHz Base Clock: 1925 MHz /...

It's not a reference PCB. Has 3x 8-pin power vs reference 2, different output ports, ect.

The 38GN950 also has 10-bit color. IMO the LG is a better/more complete product with fewer failures than the AW from what I could find. The AW has better aesthetics and human factors. I'm also not expecting to receive my replacement AW panel tomorrow like they said I would since I never...

I was supposed to receive my replacement screen 12/31. My original defective screen shipped the beginning of Dec.

Got an email this morning saying my replacement screen is pushed out to 1/11. I'm not too sure I trust that given the date has slipped once already.

Having both the AW3821DW and 38GN950 I can say the AW housing/stand build quality and feel are better. LG's not bad, but not nearly as premium. That said, I'm STILL waiting on a replacement screen for my AW3821DW. What good is a 3yr warranty when they don't have replacements to send? It's...

Just got an email from Dell saying my replacement monitor is backordered till 12/31. Maybe I'll just return the AW3821DW. I happened to buy the LG 38GN950 from Costco over black Fri too, and it arrived a couple days after the Alienware. Since my AW3821DW died, I decided to set up the LG, and I...

Well damn. Have had my AW3821DW for a couple of days and now it's developed a terrible flicker. It doesn't matter if I power cycle the monitor or not, if I change which video input I'm using, or which computer I have it hooked up to. Even the Alienware OSD menus are flickering when nothing's...

Take that Alec Trevelyan! No more GoldenEye for you!

Man, I don't think Tony Ou's aged a day since I first met him a decade ago!

Looking forward to it! I still have my TJ07 laying around too. The FT02 is still serving me excellently.

Wow, seeing this thread get bumped up again gives me memories. Another "decade club" FT02 user here too. Here's my "new FT02" wishlist: 1) Bottom that officially supports 3x180mm radiator. I had to cut out the bottom mesh to get it in there. 2) Height that allows 3x180mm radiator plus 180mm...

Here's the thread with modified 1405 BIOS on OCN. I'm thinking of going back to that one. My 64GB DDR3-3600 memory kit is giving me cold boot POST issues on 1408 with XMP set. I didn't get that before 1408.

The process itself yes, but the process control however... In addition, the production fabs (not development fabs) are primarily the ones who are focused on increasing yields and maturing processes, so there's significant headcount devoted to refinement. Then you have all of the people for...

Spread spectrum sets the bclk to 99.8MHz instead of 100MHz. When you disable it the bclk goes to 99.98MHz. Since the CPU freq is a function of the bclk * multiplier your core freq is a bit higher too with spread spectrum disabled.

The 55C operational temp refers to ambient temperature, not device temperature. The SX300/350 and PX600 controller doesn't throttle till 78C and doesn't do a hard shut down till 85C per the documentation.

With only short drives like his, the engine/coolant temp might be getting up to normal operating temp, but I doubt his oil is getting to normal operating temp. That said, he should just get a lab test done and see if there's actually any water content.

Does anyone else besides me do Blackstone Oil Reports with every change? I've used that to definitively spec my oil change interval. For example, with BMW's OE LL-04 oil ~8k miles was a good change interval for my 328d that sees track time. It didn't show any higher wear metal averages than...

+1 to these. It's just like how ALD/ALE isn't necessarily precisely a single atomic layer. It can vary to a couple, despite the colloquial marketing term. TSMC's 7nm node was an evolution of their 10nm, and very similar. N5 however is sufficiently different from their N7 node.

I don't think you're looking at the right document. Here's the memory QVL list. There's kits on there up to 4400MHz.

Kioxia (what Toshiba rebranded to) and WD (Sandisk) have a joint partnership and collaborate on the development of their NAND. It's not "Kioxia developing and making NAND for WD" as commonly thought. WD has its own process engineers at the Kioxia fab site and both WD/Kioxia work on the...

Does the post code give you any hint at what's wrong? Or just sitting at "AA" as if everything's fine?

It says how old it is right in your fio-status -a printout. See the date next to the firmware version? July 25, 2016. FWIW the latest FW for the SX300-6400 is v8.9.9 from Feb. 22, 2017.

Nobody ever said it wasn't good, or sufficient. But it certainly isn't "the same" as the top end boards.
