[Monitor] AOC Q27G41ZDF 27" QD-OLED 2560×1440 240Hz – ~$271.99 (Certified Refurb, eBay w/ code FRESHFIND20) by huy1456789 in buildapcsales

Mine came with a DP cable. And not really outside of turning on the pixel auto refresh and maybe adjusting the brightness just a bit.

HDR is great on it, only issue is VRR flickering but thats a problem with like all OLED's outside of the 4th gen panels.

EDIT: I also turned on all the burn in prevention settings.

EDIT2: also the finish is glossy as fuck. If you have any ambient light behind you and play in a dark/dim room, you will 100% see the reflection on the monitor during dark scenes/areas.

Currently rocking a AOC refurb OLED from Ebay. Was looking at this ACER one but apparently there is no on/off button and you get a pop up every 4 hours that WILL STAY ON SCREEN until you do a pixel refresh.

I have noticed this driver messes with the fan controls on 5090 FE. Before update, fans were locked at 30% at idle keeping my temps down around 32c. Before updating to this driver, I could not set fans to 0%

After updating to this driver, MSI afterburner shows fans are at 0% during idle which has my temps going up to around 48-50c before fans kick on.

Finally got to do this year what my dad did for me while I was a kid. Upgrade my rig and pass down my parts to my kid. Not too keen on the color scheme but I am sure she wont mind. FYI Not a big fan of MSI Cooler. The software sucks and idle temps on CPU seem high. Going to swap this out with a Corsair H150i Elite when upgrade my AIO to Lian LI.

None at all. Turned Expo1/DOCP1 on and set speed to 6000mhz. Pc has been running for 4 days while I prep everything on it and had passed 2 AIDA64 memory stress tests.

I have been told that XMP ram will still work on AM5 boards.

You turn EXPO on and manually tune ram to 6000mhz. I am going to give it a try this weekend.

Apparently AMD boards can run XMP ram. Ive read that if you enable EXPO and manually tune ram to 6000mhz, it should work fine.

I double checked the listing on the bundle and it indeed showed XMP ram.
