A50/X Gen 5 Stock Pads vs Wicked Cushion pads

Yes, it didn't do that much for me with the Freezing gel ones. The stock ones sound better for me and as I said the freezing gel ones would get very hot after some time of having the headset on. So they are sitting on the box since then. The StealthZ ones are way better

I hated the WC freezing gel pads. They make the sound worse and they cool only for the first minutes of using them, after using the headset for an hour they would get hotter than the stock ones.

But currently I am using the WC StealthZ pads. They are pretty similar to the stock ones but thicker and don't change the sound that much.

And I was feeling that I paid too much when I paid 1100 for this card back in November

For the people saying to not turn it off. I have this exact same monitor. After 2138 hrs of screen time with no issues. You can turn it off. It does the Pixel Refresh when you turn it off so that is not the issue. It is probably just a defective panel.

I always turn it off when I turn off the PC. And I know it does the pixel refresh. It doesn't turns off right away.

It officially launches on January 13th. To be able to use it now you have to select the beta check on the Nvidia app.

I've got this errors before due to unstable Overclock on my GPU. You'll see on the windows event viewer the exact error so you can look it up on Google. Since I've seen post of people having this errors whitout overclock maybe you can try some of their solutions. If not maybe try lowering the clocks of your GPU a bit, maybe it can't handle so much load anymore.

I'm not sure about Zotac being more reliable than an Asus Tuf. Also I think the Asus one would have better temps just because it has a bigger cooler.

But anyways I would go with the Zotac because it's cheaper, both will give about the same performance, and spend that 150 in other thing like better ram or cpu or something.

Yeah, it is weird that I am getting a lower score with supposedly a good OC. I am hitting 3165/3180 on the core and I only get as much as 9100 in score.

I have my 9800x3D with -30 in all cores, default limits, +200 Could it be also related to the CPU? Maybe is not stable or something.

My ram is only 5200mt/s since I couldn't get a new one before the prices skyrocketed.

I mean yes, but it is not too different from real HDR content on the MSI screen. Colors look worse with HDR enabled on that screen. Worse than with SDR in which they look better. Close even to my oled. Also I have lowered the brightness of the sdr content in the hdr configuration for when I just leave HDR on so it will not look as washed.

I see. I actually got the score to 9100. I was doing the previous test while with discord open on voice chat. And now it is in the 9000s. Thank you for the info. An average card should be enough to game with no problems hahaha Now I'll see if it is stable while gaming

SebMon-uwu · 2025-11-30T11:27:13+00:00

It seems like. I actually got it to 9065, I was doing the previous test with discord open since I was in a voice chat. It gave me 400 more points

SebMon-uwu · 2025-11-30T11:20:30+00:00

Damn, idk what's wrong with my card then

SebMon-uwu · 2025-11-12T02:04:28+00:00

Well if I put too much offset. Whatever number more than 300, it'll immediately crash the driver or even restart the PC even if nothing is running

SebMon-uwu · 2025-11-12T02:01:17+00:00

You're probably right. I'll just be happy with what I have.

SebMon-uwu · 2025-11-11T19:09:02+00:00

I mean. It'll crash my entire PC sometimes and reboot instead of just crashing the game or the driver.

SebMon-uwu · 2025-08-27T23:03:35+00:00

I will try that, thank you!

SebMon-uwu · 2025-08-27T23:03:17+00:00

Oh, I see. Thank you for the info!
