Microsoft Windows 11 24H2 update may cause SSD failures; DRAMless SSDs are more vulnerable.
If you have a potentially vulnerable SSD, revert Windows update, disable automatic Windows update, & use Registry Editor to set 64 MB HMB allocation policy (or disable HMB).

>Omissions
RTX 5070: buy if it's reasonably priced & if you plan to work around potential VRAM bottlenecks.
RX 9070 non-XT: worth considering if it's significantly cheaper than the 9070 XT.

Intel 13 & 14th gen i7/9 -K CPUs: BIOS update required due to reliability issues. Recommended to set a CPU VR voltage limit (1.4 or 1.45V).

To be fair as a reviewer you have to follow a strict steps that allow for the numbers to come about, they dont have the time to use every monitor for 50h a week for their anime and weg sessions

Help needed.
I just bought a 2x8gb 3200mhz ram, after installing new ram, pc doesn't boot, debug led stuck at ram.

Tried single stick every slot, 4 stick work fine. Reset cmos but still doesn't work.

Here's the weird thing happened, before installing mew ram, my rig was running at 2666mhz but when I installed new one, it's always 3200mhz without xmp enable.

>>106473271
if it doesn't post without xmp then you got a doa stick.

>>106473298
This is the first time I experience this, new stick just stuck @3200mhz without xmp enable. I tried to set it @2666mhz and it boot just fine but if I install 2 old one it doesn't work again.

Idk how but I managed to get 4 stick worked with cmos reset but when I lift the pc case up it shoot itself again.

Trying reset cmos rn.

Another note 3 stick installed just fine but 4 is a no go.

>>106473356
did the sticks all come in the same kit from the same day you bought them? or you bought them at different times? either case, the die types may vary between the ram and they could not be compatible with each other. for example samsung memory can't run same timings as hynix.

>>106472849
can this run Stable Diffusion XL?

>>106473414

>for example samsung memory can't run same timings as hynix.
This come to my thought too but I don't know how to get it work.

>>106472849
an israel support package with a free gpu included

>>106473458
the ram training at startup is basically testing the kits and if it fails that then sticks are incompatible since it 100% wont pass gaming/windows tests which are more stressful. so you need new ram / rma.

>>106473458
put kit 1 in A1/A2 and kit 2 in B1/B2

ISSSS OOOON

Here's the process, cmos reset, 1 stick in -> boot okay, then another stick from same kit in different slot -> boot okay, 2 stick same kit, slot next together -> boot nicely, throw in remaining sticks annnnd boom it's on. Rn is A1,A2 and B1,B2

Tbh idc about the speed I just need the capacity.

qdoled made me give up the idea of a smaller desktop sized tv, the fringing will be even worse
the thing about the g5 is that they fucked all the modes in hdr though except now they patched the filmmaker mode, kinda gay how you have to run in filmmaker mode with game mode on to fix it some how, so you can't just run game mode? seems kinda gay, might not mean anything but seems kinda jank

anyone know if LG oled monitors have dithering? I really don't think so no? Never remember hearing about it or anything
just the tvs

Anyone know how to turn off GPU RGB on Linux? I tried OpenRGB but it did not recognize the GPU, I tried running Gigabytes software with wine but it was a buggy mess that led nowhere

actually yeah it's on all woleds I think after all
all woleds have chrominance overshoot, but do monitors do dithering to solve it? I don't think they do?

Torn slightly between PG32UCDMR and XG32UCWMG monitors (4K QD-OLED and WOLED respectively). My room is usually dark, so is the former probably the way to go? Especially since I absolutely can make use of DP 2.1 and would rather not deal with DSC (which means the cheaper DP 2.1 Gigabyte alternative with the same QD-OLED panel is probably out as people say it still forces DSC).
Or would it be wiser to wait until the 4K 32" Tandem WOLED things come out next year? I'm not in a big hurry to buy but a year or two is a long time. And Tandem QD-OLED seems to be no different from normal QD-OLED...

>>106474522
Prebuilt mogs the self build market, I've not seen a single radeon in a prebuilt for years except for integrated graphics.
Nvidia easily sells 10 or 20 to SI for every self built PC Card.

If you have not been following along these past days I will tell you now with absolute certainty that qdoled has a type of pixel fringing due to the subpixel layout that can give people eyestrain/headaches, it's just not good, and the glossy ones are very extreme at it, matte less so
allegedly the 27" 4k reduces it even more, but people report it still has fringing depending on how sensitive you are

all reviewers who mained 32" qd have gone over to the true black woled, shills or not, food for thought

can not say if pc woled is better or also shit, never tested it, lcd ips is still more clear

dsc or not is like not even the top 10 "issues" to begin with

Individual buyers literally don't matter anyway, AI and prebuilt PCs make up most of Nvidia's sales.
Nvidia are also cheaper than AMD now for individual cards. Why would anyone buy AMD now?

Recent check at online stores shows the cheapest 9070 at 599 and a cheapest 5070 at 475 in my region.

any anons here got monitor recs for gaming and color sensitive work?
IPS only, no OLED since text fringing just kills it for me more than the burn in that will inevitably set in

The Radeon marketing and features team was trying to attract more OEMs, but they probably can't match GeForce GPUs in volume discounts.
Dell doesn't even offer the choice of selecting a Radeon video card; HP's most recent Radeon card option is an RX 7600.

Radeon also has a brand perception issue; it's seen as the less premium choice over GeForce.
Prebuilt 9070/XT PCs aren't cheap; normies may as well spend more for a GeForce prebuild at that point.

> 6000mhz
Boot with one of the DIMMs only, go into BIOS, select the EXPO for your DRAM, reboot into BIOS and check if EXPO active, power down, install the other DIMM, boot with both DIMMS. This helped in one case here.

If you can't boot with one DIMM, try the other. If both fail flash BIOS again after reading the fucking manual. Rinse and repeat above procedure.
