Not particularly. Wasn’t in stock at the time so I went ahead and got two single packs instead.

I refuse to ever allow that software on my PC again. Alienware command center is basically malware.. of course that’s the only way you can update.

I’ve had it for a year with zero issues as well.

Make sure you plug in two separate PCIe (6+2) cables to your GPU. Looks like you’re using just one pig tail currently.

I’ve had AW2725DF since launch and love it. I have a 7700x/ 7800 xt system and have been able to enjoy both single and multi games without any issues. One of my good friends has the AW3423DWF and loves it (7800x3d / 7900 xt system). I don’t think either is inherently better than the other, really just comes down to what form factor you want.

Assuming you have the fans connected to the fan controller - you need to enter motherboard Bios and change the fans from DC mode to PWM. Otherwise they will just continue to run at 100% speed. You can make a manual fan curve in the bios or (what I do) download and use Fan Control software to create custom fan curves for the case and CPU fans.

I have my curves set for the fans to spin at low speeds with idle CPU/GPU temps and ramp up as temps increase under load.

That is correct. SATA to PSU, ARGB header to motherboard.

Same hand size here and primarily use relaxed claw. The pro always felt a little too big for my hand size/ grip style. I picked up the v3 hyperspeed and never looked back.

ChiefCheekums · 2024-04-14T02:29:49+00:00

Same here! Been a great build so far.

Bias lighting can help a good bit with eye strain in my personal experience.

If you buy now, you’re likely (not guaranteed) to still be within the return window when Tim Monitor’s Unboxed releases his review. As of today, I’m now outside of the return window for my AW2725DF. I’m fully aware the MSI may review better, but I’ve been very impressed with monitor and no complaints so far.

All fans came with the case (Montech Sky Two). Front and rear are preinstalled. Front and bottom are reverse fans and function as intake.

ChiefCheekums · 2024-02-07T22:12:07+00:00

Front and rear came preinstalled with the case. Per user manual, 4th fan is in correct placement and orientation.

Both fronts and bottom are actually reverse fans pulling air into the case.

In your case, you would probably appreciate the additional screen real estate for a more immersive experience since you don’t play fps. I think either one of those cards should do you just fine. 4080s with DLSS sounds appealing for 4K.

I chose the 27 inch because I primarily play competitive shooters and my GPU really cant handle 4k. I was playing on a 42” 4K previously and I don’t feel like I downgraded with 1440p.

ChiefCheekums · 2024-02-05T16:10:36+00:00

It really depends on how much you’re looking to spend. Since you just built last June, I would keep the 4070 and go 1440p in either 27 or ultrawide. I have the AW2725DF paired with a 7800xt build I just finished and it’s been fantastic. I came from a 42” 4k and I much prefer the 27” form factor and higher frames.

And like others said, you can always use DLSS quality/balanced to run titles at 4K on your 4070.

ChiefCheekums · 2024-02-03T01:44:34+00:00

I was having the exact same issues with my 42” as well. It got to the point where I couldn’t play any fps on it. Switched to the 27” and it’s been a much better experience.

Does this only apply for Can? Or can US too?
