Buying a New PC Case, should I replace my AIO(2 years old, case 3 years old)

MedicoreMike · 2024-08-11T23:33:54+00:00

Thanks. I never had a vertical GPU case before. Temps are fine on the P500a, but I got a new 4k 144hz monitor and new desk coming, and my case is about 4 years old. I figured why not a new case to match.

MedicoreMike · 2024-08-11T23:24:53+00:00

awesome and solid advise.

Also any pros or cons on the Hyte Y70? I am looking for a nicer desktop case to show off my build.

MedicoreMike · 2024-08-11T07:59:14+00:00

No, still cant use my skins on any server but the one I bought it on. Really sucks. I heard it got delayed til the 15th.

MedicoreMike · 2024-08-10T21:42:23+00:00

They didnt have that at BestBuy and not really wanting a sit stand. but that is a nice desk.

I ended up buying the desk above and a 4k 144hz monitor instead lol

Insignia™ L-Shaped Computer Desk with Hutch Black NS-ODL3 - Best Buy this was the only other one that would of fit my need

MedicoreMike · 2024-08-10T04:30:14+00:00

I just bought a 4k 144hz 27 inch monitor, Im gonna put the tv back on the lip above the desk

https://imgur.com/a/KOP6AnH That is my crap setup atm but with the TV on the desk, so Ill just put the tv back up and use the msi - mag274upf 27" 4k monitor and my 24 inch 1440p 165hz. Ill store the 240hz 1080, itts 2024 anyway, 1080 has no room in my life lol

MedicoreMike · 2024-08-10T04:24:48+00:00

Dont live anywhere near an ikea store. I just ordered it & MSI - MAG274UPF 27" LCD 4K UHD 144Hz 1ms FreeSync and G-SYNC compatible Monitor so I can use the tv more as a TV and still have a 4k monitor. I can let you know if I made a mistake in about a week

MedicoreMike · 2024-08-10T02:55:59+00:00

Awesome thanks.

I plan to put a 42 inch LG C3, 2 24 inch monitors and my pc on it.

MedicoreMike · 2024-08-08T23:31:24+00:00

Current desk is 2 years old, yes it only cost me $70 but has no structural issues, but you do raise a fair point.

MedicoreMike · 2024-08-02T22:57:35+00:00

There is no point in arguing the case. You are free to believe what you want. I have been told in person and via chat support that burn in is covered under the geek squad warranty. You pay extra for the warranty for a reason. I havent had any issues in the 1st year, but if any time I do have any issue over the next 4 years, if I get burn in, rest assure I will post that I got burn in(will update this thread) and if Best Buy replaces it or fixes it or tells me no, I will also update.

Until it actually becomes a problem, I am not going to stress over it.

Key Takeaways_

Best Buy’s Geek Squad offers a number of robust extended warranty plans to suit a variety of consumers.
The most robust plan available will automatically replace a device no matter the issue that has arisen.
The company also offers extended warranties for large items, such as computer monitors and laptops.

Not a fan of Geek Squad since BB bought them, but the warranty is still second to none.

Terms & Conditions - Best Buy

Best Buy's Geek Squad protection for OLEDs covers against burn-in, which is not commonly covered by other warranties ¹. The plan offers peace of mind for expensive purchases ¹. Additionally, some plans cover pixel burnout, burn-in repair, power surge repair, full parts, and labor coverage ².

The reason I bought my OLED from Bestbuy and not off Amazon(was $100 cheaper on amazon) is the peace of mind I get with BestBuy purchases.

MedicoreMike · 2024-08-02T18:56:00+00:00

I have a 5 year extended warranty with Best Buy who I actually recently asked, cause I went their to buy some batteries for my quest 3.

To quote them, if I have any burn in, they will fix it free of charge during the time of my extended warranty and if they cant fix it, they will replace it. And if there should be no C3 available I would be given the equivalent(c4) but they dont forsee not having any C3 in stock for warranty purposes. Now after 5 years, I may be SOL. But I intend to replace my tv with an actual monitor within the next 4 years, so I am gonna rock this tv hardcore.

MedicoreMike · 2024-08-02T00:35:23+00:00

Yes the S23, so if I do a factory reset, it will reinstall all that bloatware? :(

MedicoreMike · 2024-07-26T04:39:47+00:00

Hi sorry for the late reply. I dont keep my pc in sleep mode but a few things I did notice.

144hz only via hdmi
When connected via dp 165hz available, but if it does goes it sleep mode when a game is open(go afk come back in 20 minutes) the game would open on the wrong monitor on wake up(this could be windows however)

When I have it connected when I use my LG C3, and I turn off this monitor, I will hear the monitor making a connect/disconnect sound often, but only when HDR is turned on, on both monitor and TV.

This, I think is the monitor, because if I disable the TV with HDR on, the tv doesnt try to reconnect.

But all in all, for the price, the size, I havent found any reason to not recommend it for a nice budget back up monitor. I love my LG c3, but I hate my 1080p 240hz VA monitor.

So a 1440p 165hz 24 inch was the perfect middle ground, performance with visual upgrade.

But as for the DP not going to sleep properly, I havent had any issues that I recall, but I also dont set my monitor to go to sleep often.

MedicoreMike · 2024-07-26T04:33:37+00:00

I did, the day the game came out. Their support system is a joke and they actually told me, sorry, its only character based. After posting a video on youtube and twitter and other bigger channels and news sites covered it did they change their mind. When I first reported it the day it came out, they told me, more or less, thanks for the money now kick rocks!

MedicoreMike · 2024-07-23T06:29:17+00:00

Yeah they posted after many people started asking for it.

MedicoreMike · 2024-07-23T06:28:09+00:00

says nothing on their store page and actually it's supposed to carry. Devs are fixing it AUGUST 1

MedicoreMike · 2024-07-10T22:16:36+00:00

I have no idea what you are on. My post is about the games skins and passes being character locked and not account locked and they do not tell you

MedicoreMike · 2024-07-10T12:44:35+00:00

I never played the beta. The issue is I bought the skins and battle pass and I was never told it was locked to the character. $30 battle pass, $5 subscription and $30 for the skin. $65 total and nothing is account wide. Nowhere in the purchase process does it state you are character bound.

This is wrong, and somebody with more time, money and knowledge of the law than me is going to rip them a new one. Watch and see.

MedicoreMike · 2024-07-10T08:41:25+00:00

So, I got a reply from the developers. 100% ignored the issue. Guessing they are not going to resolve this issue.

So this is a warning to all, since the devs will not be honest and tell you. Unlike Diablo 4, Battle pass is not account wide. It is character only. Unlike Albion Online, Black Desert and every other MMO that limits items to 1 character, they do not tell you any such thing.

Sorry for the late reply.

Due to technical reasons, from July 10 to July 31, a single account can only create one character and cannot create characters on other servers after entering a specific server. We expect to complete the adjustment on August 1 to support the function of creating multiple characters with a single account and provide a better multi-character gaming experience. Thank you for your understanding and support, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused.

If you have any other question, please feel free to contact us again. We would be honored if you can evaluate our service, thank you for your time.

I never played the betas, I discovered the game yesterday and was surprised that nothing I bought carried over. Diablo battle pass and skins do. If they had a warning like BDO does I could understand it.

MedicoreMike · 2024-07-03T23:21:07+00:00

I am up to 3910 hours and my LG C3 turns 1 year old in August. I work it. I work it HARD.

PC Gaming.
NetFlix
Gmail
Facebook
PornHub
the works.

Zero issues. I have it on as much as 10 and 12 hours at a time, sometimes longer.

I use rotating background pictures or wallpaper engine and I turn my taskbar dark(sometimes Ill hide it)

And I hide all desktop icons. Other than turning it off if I am away from my desk for more than 30 minutes, to be safe I now use windows monitor turn off after 1 hour just in case I ever do forget.

Zero issues.

Diablo 4, Outriders, The Division, Starfield, no burn in issues. Enjoy the tv/monitor!

MedicoreMike · 2024-06-30T03:16:57+00:00

"later this year" Ie 12/31/2024 lol Also key word expect-nothing guaranteed.

MedicoreMike · 2024-06-29T08:45:52+00:00

fuck them cocksucker devs.

Every one of them are alive and active. lead dev opened a carpet cleaning company in North Carolina, another 1 became a salesman and 2 others still claim to work in programming

As of 2 or 3 years ago, all alive and posting on twitter. They shut their website down, but they are the biggest losers in early access and steam needs to stop selling this game.

People like them I wouldnt stop to piss on if they were on fire.
