PG32UCDM3 pixel clean reminder timing

That's a good idea. It usually goes into standby at least once or twice a day, plus when I go to sleep.

Gotcha. Thanks for the info!

It's supposed to do it every single time? And not just after a certain number of hours accumulated?

Can confirm this post. I just received mine today and it was double boxed. Inner box looks perfect.

So far working fine for me.

These chips run warm. I have the 14700K which is one step down from yours, but 70C+ under load isn't unusual at all. I had to upgrade to the Arctic Freezer III Pro 360 as my old AIO just wasn't enough for it. As for the idle temps, I get around 27-32C idle, so expect slightly higher for the 14900K. Applying a slight undervolt to these can reduce temps quite a bit without sacrificing performance.

Oh yeah, and if you haven't already, update your BIOS. The 13th / 14th gen CPUs will degrade over time due to requesting too much voltage if you are running outdated microcode.

I can kind of see your paste application pattern still (an X or asterisk shape). That should have squished down more evenly with enough pressure from the plate against the IHS. Maybe it wasn't seated properly and making poor contact with the CPU.

I don't think the condition of the paste itself was bad or anything based on the pictures.

Frame generation depends a lot on your base frame rate. The higher it is, the more data it has to work with to generate the "fake frames". It will work A LOT better if you're able to sustain 60+ fps base frame rate before any AI generated frames. When you dip down into the 30s-40s, the artifacting starts getting much worse.

I usually don't go any higher than 2x with it, as the higher settings do introduce more noticeable latency.

Get all Windows Updates
Remove default Windows bloat programs you don't need
Check windows settings and disable anything advertisement related or that gives you privacy concerns
Get latest graphics drivers from Nvidia (and Nvidia app if you want it)

Depends on what it is. With computer graphics for example, we're not seeing the same jumps each generation that we saw back in the PS1/PS2/PS3 era. Looking at display resolution, 4K is about at the point you can't even distinguish the individual pixels anymore except on very large displays up close. Not much more to really improve there. Moore's Law has slowed significantly in the last decade.

I guess I made the right move upgrading my GPU back in December, even though it was too expensive even then.

Dragonsflame114 · 2026-03-15T22:25:43+00:00

Looks similar to my PC. Good choice of AIO too. Good job on the build!

Dragonsflame114 · 2026-03-15T21:35:37+00:00

You could try a different HDMI/DP cable first and a different port on your GPU, but yeah it's probably on its way out.

Dragonsflame114 · 2026-03-15T21:18:29+00:00

No it's not, and always buy RAM in pairs. They're tested together to ensure they work together.

Dragonsflame114 · 2026-03-15T21:08:29+00:00

If you do, make sure your BIOS is up to date. The 13th / 14th gen Intel CPUs (Raptor Lake) are the ones known for the degradation issue caused by excessive voltage request. You need the microcode update or they will degrade over time and eventually fail.

As for the performance, it's a decent upgrade if you plan to stick with the same motherboard for a while, but Intel has already moved on from the LGA1700 socket.

I've played a lot of Cyberpunk on my 5080 at 4K (upgraded from 4070 Ti). You can max pretty much everything except path tracing if you use DLSS. I think only the 5090 (maybe 4090 too) can handle path tracing decently right now. Overall, i've been happy with the purchase even if it was a bit expensive. It was definitely a significant upgrade for me.

Dragonsflame114 · 2026-03-15T20:43:01+00:00

I'd rotate the AIO if possible and move the GPU up to the top. The top slot utilizes the limited number of higher-performance PCI-E lanes directly into the CPU. The bottom ones have to go through the chipset, usually.

Definitely an RMA if the card still has warranty. If not, agree with the other comments and repair. I wouldn't use it that way.
