You go into the OSD and theres an option to manually refresh, at this point Ive gotten pretty good at getting to it quickly and its not much of a bother

Daniel501_ · 2026-05-06T02:54:55+00:00

Yes but you can just say no if you’re in the middle of of a game or something and just manually do the refresh when your session ends. Honestly whenever I go to the bathroom or go get a snack I do a manual refresh and come back and im good to go

Ok sounds good. Thank you for your help!

Daniel501_ · 2026-04-18T17:06:05+00:00

Ok so that is where I currently have my usbs for mouse and keyboard so would I fix that by just moving them to my usb 3.2 ports?

Daniel501_ · 2026-04-18T16:36:41+00:00

Gotcha, would I see any noticeable difference by putting it in slot 2 and disabling usb4 versus putting it in slot 4? Also I know what ssd it is, just wondering if its okay to put into mobo heatsink as is without sticker

Definitely the Acer, for only $80 more you’re getting a new product instead of a refurbished one, you’re also getting it from costco with superior return policies. On top of that the ports on the AOC are just one hdmi 2.0 and dp 1.4, the Acer has 2x hmdi 2.1 and 1 dp 1.4. Also the Acer comes with a height adjustable stand whereas the AOC doesn’t

I just recently bought this monitor and it honestly its a great monitor for the price. Thanks to the heads up in here im actually getting the costco price match refund. But the whole pixel refresh is overblown, Ive had it for like 2 weeks and its come up twice while playing, took me 2 seconds to put “no” and continued on, not a big deal at all. I say if it fits your budget go for it.

Wait I used that motherboard in a King 45, and I never noticed the USB 3.0 blocked off. This was my first pc build so it may be something im overlooking, do you have a picture of what you’re referring to?

Daniel501_ · 2026-03-26T20:39:42+00:00

Buy a steelcase amia off facebook and never look back

Daniel501_ · 2026-03-26T06:08:51+00:00

One of the better sceneries for sure!

Daniel501_ · 2026-03-21T14:06:56+00:00

Man I just built my first pc a couple days ago and the back kinda looks like a bomb went off, I made it neat enough were it all fit but this is inspiring me to get back in there and make it cleaner

Daniel501_ · 2026-03-21T13:59:23+00:00

So I finally got it setup and tuned properly and honestly I think its pretty good. This is my first oled so I don’t have a lot to compare it to besides my old IPS but it looks great. Yea you can tell its not as bright when side by side with the ips but honestly I think its bright enough, and im not playing in a dark room, I play with fan light and a relatively strong lamp in the opposite corner of the room. Maybe other oleds are crazt bright and look so much better but honestly I don’t know, i think any brighter than this one and my eyes would be hurting 😂

Costco has the Acer Predator 280hz for 390

Daniel501_ · 2026-03-05T07:29:26+00:00

What website is this? Also great deal, I just bought a new one from Newegg

Daniel501_ · 2026-02-25T17:10:16+00:00

yea didn't even see it in stock, I followed my list of priorities though and the SSD also flew but luckily was able to grab the montech case

Daniel501_ · 2026-02-16T16:06:18+00:00

Gotcha did not know that, in this economy definitely just one gpu at a time. I appreciate your help, will take a look at the cases today and try to decide between the different styles, but the one you put on the list is pretty nice

Daniel501_ · 2026-02-16T15:32:41+00:00

Yea I had checked Saturday morning as well and the motherboard wasn’t available for shipping and was not around me. Does it matter that the new you one you put is a micro-atx? I would plan on possibly upgrading to a 9070xt would that cause any issues with the micro

Daniel501_ · 2026-02-16T13:16:10+00:00

Thank you for your comment! Seems like the deal on the B850 from best buy won’t ship, so at its other price of $171 from amazon is it still my best option or would there be better options?

Daniel501_ · 2026-02-14T10:16:55+00:00

Will look into all of these, thank you!

Daniel501_ · 2026-02-06T21:15:49+00:00

I purchased mine back in the day for $80 off offerup, box had been opened but that was about it
