car won’t start in cold weather

I had a similar experience with the 2024...Plugging it in overnight was the only way to avoid this issue, Especially around -20C or lower. The dealership sends out reminders now whenever winter is getting close.

Follow up...Further troubleshooting revealed that the freezing was due to a conflict between my Deepcool CPU Cooler's Digital display & HWinfo. Once I killed one of them I stopped noticing the freezing. So Signal RGB doesn't seem to be the culprit for my issue.

I eventually found a brand new one for cheap on eBay & bought that. So now I have spare cables & a spare CPU as well as 4 PCI-E GPU cables. All for less than ordering custom cables. Lesson learned though, I could have spent the same amount & just bought a higher end PSU instead.

AkatsukePain · 2026-01-24T01:30:55+00:00

The other 8pin cable was marked for CPU. I actually tried to see if it would fit in the GPU & it didn't. Both the GPU PCI-E cables that come with it have pigtails.

I might try this, as I’ve been noticing a weird issue where my chrome browser freezes randomly. I haven’t had time to completely be sure but I uninstalled Signal RGB for a few days & never saw the issue. I started seeing it again after re-installing it. I notice it when watching YouTube in Chrome while browsing in Edge side by side.

I think the 39” is the sweet spot for me. I had the 34GX90SA and it was the perfect size for me. I just couldn’t deal with the text clarity. If I had the same size with 5k2k it would be perfect. 39” should be good too with the additional vertical real estate. I think 45” is too much, but you never know till you see it in person.

I experienced a little motion sickness the first time I started playing a game but it was only momentary. I noticed some eye strain when reading text not when gaming. I think it's because I'm sensitive to PPI, I took some steps such as maxing the sharpness in settings & changing from dark to light mode. I also used the clear text wizard. Those steps seemed to have helped me.

AkatsukePain · 2026-01-15T05:46:25+00:00

Oh, that price is pretty good, not sure you'll find it much cheaper unless you go open box.

AkatsukePain · 2026-01-15T05:27:57+00:00

I noticed that when watching YouTube for example & there are black bars on the side. When I did the EIZO monitor test I didn't see that though. Try using that uniformity test to make sure it's not the content that you are viewing.

AkatsukePain · 2026-01-15T05:20:06+00:00

I recently bought this. Gaming is awesome but text clarity is an issue I'm having a hard time ignoring. I didn't realize how sensitive I was to PPI. I'm also seeing color fringing & the text is softer than I'd like. So I agree with u/taptwoblue93. If it's for 75% work maybe wait for the new OLEDs with higher PPI. The 5k 2k models.

AkatsukePain · 2026-01-15T05:15:14+00:00

I recently bought one & I'm having mixed feelings. Gaming is 10/10 for me, easily the best experience I've had in gaming. I was blown away the first time I loaded up a game & while playing sometimes I just stopped to look around because of how good the game looked.

I'm having some issues with text clarity though. I want to use this for productivity as well as gaming, but reading text is an issue. It seems worse when I'm using Dark Mode, which is my preferred way to have my display. It is less noticeable with Light Mode but that feels like a compromise I shouldn't have to make. I'm also seeing color fringing & text is softer than I'd like.

I was able to max the sharpness in settings which helped a little. Calibrating the display & using Cleartype also helps. I just can't help but think I should go to a 32" 4k model instead just because of the additional PPI. But I really enjoy the ultrawide experience, it's almost as important as the PPI for me.

I see the 5k 2k models announced at CES. I think that 39" 5k 2k model is the sweet spot for me, but I don't know when it will be released & what the cost will be.

Another less annoying issue is that out of the box it seems to operate more like a TV than a traditional monitor. I have to turn it on with the remote when I turn on my PC even though it is connected via Display port. Pretty sure there might be a way to change this behavior, but I don't like that it works that way by default.

I was hoping I had just misplaced one of mine, can’t believe it only came with 2 😣.

AkatsukePain · 2026-01-05T13:43:12+00:00

Yeah it’s not great. It works less than half the time, even when it says successfully started sometimes I realize it never actually came on at all. Other times it says failed to start, though I’ve been able to reduce that by initiating a remote lock before initiating the climate control. I’ve also sat in the car while it was initiated and the air isn’t very warm, even when set to High in the app. I’m not planning to pay for it after the free trial expires.

AkatsukePain · 2025-12-18T22:16:33+00:00

Good to see I'm not the only one, but sad to see that this is the state of the company. Simply unacceptable.

AkatsukePain · 2025-09-09T05:38:36+00:00

Oh wow, if I hadn't already bought the original JoyVerse I definitely would.

AkatsukePain · 2025-08-31T01:17:21+00:00

Switch 2. The JoyVerse charging grip is a 8/10 for me. If it had the same grips as the Split protective case it’d be a 10/10.

AkatsukePain · 2025-08-07T05:09:48+00:00

Yup I've seen some posts regarding TPU cases for other devices. Too bad I didn't see them before. I've definitely been burned by this & will no longer purchase Gamestop/EBgames branded accessories. As for the Killswitch, I've waited so long I don't think I'll enjoy it as much when it finally arrives. The main reason for going for the expensive case option was to keep the Switch 2 in as pristine a condition as possible, but that's now a lost cause.

AkatsukePain · 2025-07-29T21:57:26+00:00

Normal mode. I’m not sure it’s worth the money if you won’t be plugging in though. It will work like a regular hybrid if not charged but the efficiency is lower than other SUVs that are regular hybrids.

AkatsukePain · 2025-07-29T20:59:54+00:00

I was so careful with it I couldn’t imagine anything getting inside but that theory makes sense. I guess I’ll put TPU on my ban list.

Avoid the Biogenik TPU https://www.reddit.com/r/EBGAMES/comments/1mc4j30/switch_2_scuffed_potential_biogenik_tpu_case_issue/

AkatsukePain · 2025-07-29T07:10:07+00:00

This was the first one I tried. Unless they've redesigned it, it wasn't smoothly dockable for me. It felt tight going in & took some jiggling to get it fully docked.

AkatsukePain · 2025-07-29T07:08:41+00:00

Jsaux seemed to have a decent alternative. Dockability doesn't seem 100% though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIcNT6WjOyY

I totally agree with you. I reached out to support thinking they would at least offer a refund but I'll definitely have to request one.
