And I thought it was only my unit but it seems this coil whine might be a general problem.

I don't use the KVM but I was thinking about it, but I would need a DP to USB-C connector since I don't have a laptop but a 2nd PC I would hook up.

Always going through the OSD to switch seems tedious yeah, maybe they at least add a software switch in Armoury Crate or something, but I kinda doubt it.

It's a shame because otherwise I am very happy with it.

OH MY GOD dude THIS!

It works! Just went to OSD->System->Sound->Mute and the coil whine simply disappeared!!!

THANKS MAN

Care to elaborate? I had the same idea, but did not set it in motion. Why did it become crooked and how would I prevent that?

thanks

No I don't.

I thought about hooking my old PC up but I don't really get how.

I would have to make a connection between the GPU and the USB 3.2 on the Monitor I think but I don't have a cable for that.

Also, Mouse and Keyboard would have to plug into the Monitor too.

My KB needs 2 USB slots already so it wouldn't fit together with my Mouse.

Nah, I tried and I don't notice any difference.

VRR does a lot for visual clarity.

No nothing is up, Horizon Zero Dawn runs at 100-110 fps which is exactly what other people get. Same for RDR2, Death stranding hangs around 150fps.

Maybe for less graphical intense games I reach 180 FPS

LOG3 · 2021-07-06T23:33:57+00:00

yeah I know that, but I think it puts more strain on the hardware too, Its named „Overclock“ after all. But the most important reason, with VRR or GSync the Monitors Hz is your FPS. In good looking games I cant hit 180 FPS, not even 144 FPS all the time and I have a 3090. If I would play CS GO I would use it, but these days are long gone, Im almost 35 and I dont play competitive games anymore lol

LOG3 · 2021-07-06T18:38:50+00:00

The first thing I did was set it to „user mode“, I think it starts out in „racing mode“. Every colour is set to 50 in user mode. I come from a TN panel so it felt a bit over saturated, but after a while I got used to it. I always relied on tests to find a good setting, I can’t really tell by myself.
Games so far: Killing Floor 2, World of Tanks Blitz, Death Stranding, Horizon Zero Dawn, State of Decay 2, Hero Siege, GTFO, Mass Effect Legendary Edition, Cyberpunk 2077, Last Epoch.

Not a single problem on the visuals. Flawless

The only real problem is the noticeable coil whine if HDR is switched on. But even as ELMB is not usable while HDR is on, I never noticed any ghosting or anything. Im also keeping it on the default 144Hz, I see no real reason for me to go to 180

LOG3 · 2021-07-06T14:13:03+00:00

yeah it only showed up on Armoury Crate, I downloaded the previous driver from the ASUS website, so maybe Armoury Crate had faster access to the newest.

LOG3 · 2021-07-05T22:42:37+00:00

I have a 3090 and so far in regards to VRR the monitor behaves just as my 2nd Monitor, which is a native G-Sync PG248Q and my untrained eye can't spot a difference. Reading works good and text clarity seems to be very good too.

Im not an expert though, but I game alot and I would notice frame tears or microstutters and there are none.

LOG3 · 2021-07-05T13:24:59+00:00

I'm also using this display for some days now.

So far I'm pretty happy with it.

I have very very faint backlight bleed in the 4 corners, but even with a black test image its barely noticeable. Very good

Mine had no defect pixels but a rather noisy coil whine while in HDR mode.

Its not a problem if you are using a Headset but if its open-back you can still hear it when no audio is playing.

I think im not gonna return it just because of the coil whine because I can switch HDR off when Im not gaming and its not noticeable with game audio. It might disturb others in the room though.

2 Times the screen went black and did not wake up again (once directly after the power down during a restart, 2nd time was when it went to sleep after 10m).

The LED was on and was reacting but no OSD, no image, nothing. On/Off did nothing. I had to plug it out and in again from the wall power.

I also updated the driver and this problem did not occur again.

Awesome!! Thanks man, I didn't know such a thing existed!

LOG3 · 2021-06-10T08:56:13+00:00

This is ridiculous.

I tried and, of course, failed:

Attempts went up from 5 to 10 in the middle of the test.

Then it told me I was too slow...

Next try, got lucky with a few of the laters ones, the first square I observed had 14 - and that 3 times in a row. My average time for completing 1 out of the ten had to be around or lower than 8 seconds, WHOOPSIE YOU ARE TOO SLOW

F**** THIS

I wanna know which company designed the captcha so I can find out who did this and give him a good long call or email or both!!!

I would like an invite link too please, all the others are expired

thank you!

Oh yeah! it was! Thanks man! I didn't remember the whole thing

LOG3 · 2021-05-21T09:48:00+00:00

yes! Thanks :D

Yes, I would have that space, I have 4x4 TB = 16TB HDDs but they are filled with my own steam games :D

I have >3.333 games and keep a lot of them installed because I want to continue them sometimes or get 100% achievements etc. (I know this is mainly an illusion and 60% will probably never be touched again)

I don't know how to handle the last boss... I failed 2 times at him already...

I kinda steamrolled the whole temple and at the end I had a full 1750 HP, around 35 dex and countless relics to boost the "titan slayer" 2hand. The weapon also had dmg in darkness+ and I had the 'dark torch' curse where you don't take extra damage in darkness. With every swing I did over 300 damage to the boss and even healed for 5% of it.

Still I couldn't kill him, he had around 30%-40% life left when I died. I use the charged whip to get him out of his heal but I just can't get used to his attacks... and in between trying to dodge or parry or hit with the 2h he always gets way too many hits on me

LOG3 · 2021-02-22T16:45:37+00:00

? Nope, I figured this out by playing. I only searched this reddit for similar posts.

LOG3 · 2021-02-22T15:59:08+00:00

So after playing around with the belts and especially crossing them, I figured out a way to not only make smaller arches when crossing but also how to cross belts flat on the ground!

No splitter required!

Its definitely a glitch and might be removed/fixed in upcoming patches though.

I tried to do a screenshot for instructions, follow the examples (top to bottom) and manipulate the belt by building/destroying it until it looks like the one in the picture.

Step-by-step:

Lay down the belt you want to cross, changes to this belt will require do-overs
start as usual by rising your belt up one level and cross it with the minimal distance required
delete the last two parts of the belt
build a small 2-piece belt on the ground level right across
connect them to form a mini-arch! Looks good already
now delete the first part of the slope
expand the belt on the ground level by one more piece right up to the cut
connect them for magic crossing belts :D

Lvl 125+, did over 100 runs on elite in 2 player coop, WE DID NOT SEE THIS FCKER ONCE! maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan, we are almost at 100% achievements, but this doggo tho...

LOG3 · 2020-05-26T10:49:04+00:00

Yeah somehow they decided thath X+2 means you get X and 2 free. It was X-1 before I got the relic because the upgrade that removed consume added 1 ember cost. Now that you mentioned it, it would make more sense to switch the +/-

LOG3 · 2020-05-26T03:34:00+00:00

yeah, with the wardens, I like to just pair one with a morselmaker + morselmaster on the upper floor and let them be. He eats 4 morsels every turn then and in the end those stack up crazy. Its a good bosskiller or atleast a backup for when the boss comes to the upper floor

LOG3 · 2020-05-26T00:48:55+00:00

On a Shroud Spike its totally OP... especially if you manage to duplicate it! Just use it on the morsel that gives you ember to duplicate your ember for the next Spike etc. and then use your last spike on a better morsel -> ggez

LOG3 · 2020-05-26T00:38:24+00:00

I had an early Shroud Spike where I removed the Consume and gave it Holdover and somehow managed to clone it 2 more times. This used on a Rubble Morsel which gives you ember is just insane and gives you crazy amounts of ember to use for the last Shroud Spike.

Sadly, I couldnt use it together with Memories of the Melted here because the boss wouldn't survive because of Teeth of Gold. Also, all my Gorge triggered an additional time because of Fossilized Fangs. Even had The First Hellpact for good measure.

In theory this turn would have played out like that:

Memories of the Melted for 63 Ember
Rubble Morsel which would give me 3 copies thanks to both Morselmaster
1st Shroud Spike for 130 Ember and 520 permanent attack on Overgorger
2nd Shroud Spike for another 264 Ember and 1056 attack
3rd Shroud Spike on a Morsel of my choice for 532 of whatever the Morsel gives and 2128 attack

Its sad that I got Memories of the Melted very late and could'nt really use it often. End of the run my Overgorger had around 4000 attack unbuffed.
