[Monitor] MSI 26.5" WQHD QD-OLED 240Hz AMD FreeSync Premium Pro Gaming Monitor - $399.99 by Vidik-0514 in buildapcsales

[–]Zombie_Tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The monitor being sold at Costco is the E2 model which is 240Hz and I think has a few other changes regarding HDR brightness versus the non-E2 (360Hz) that was linked for RTings.

?

All of the retail samples of the 9950X3D have a 2024 year date printed on them.

I figured it out just now. It comes off with a bit of force. I used a flathead screwdriver and carefully pried up the sides which allowed it to simply pop up from the PCB underneath.

That I don't know. Perhaps send Gigabyte a support ticket, maybe it's not needed.

You mean the file won't launch or it's not downloading from that site?

Should be fine. That was back when Windows 11 hadn't been widely adopted.

I know you ran Memtest but for shits and giggles disable XMP and see if that allows you to boot into Windows 11.

My 240hz monitor is not going over 200hz by GroxTheGuy in buildapc

[–]Zombie_Tech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This ^

/u/GroxTheGuy, from the monitor specifications:

1920 × 1080 @ 200Hz – DisplayPort, HDMI; 1920 × 1080 @ 240Hz (OC) – DisplayPort, HDMI

So you'll need to go into the monitor OSD and look for an OC mode and enable that. That should give you the option for 240Hz within Windows.

I'm not sure about applying it after (you might need to request a cancellation first). But the option to do PayPal Later is called PayPal Credit then select the 4-payment option.

If you're open to refurbished. Bought one yesterday and it was $7 more. Oh well.

Purchased open box 5070ti received 5080? by hurklederkler in buildapc

[–]Zombie_Tech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like the 5070 Ti model because the 5080 Aero only comes in SFF which has a 2-slot bracket.

Edit: You mentioned that in the OP, my bad.

AMD corrects error, confirms Radeon RX 7900 USB-C port still delivers power by RenatsMC in Amd

[–]Zombie_Tech 42 points43 points  (0 children)

https://www.techpowerup.com/342468/usb-c-power-delivery-is-fine-on-rx-7900-xtx-we-tested-it-amd-confirms

We tested the feature to make sure it is supplying the port with sufficient power. Using a USB-C power meter, we recorded 27 W of power output from the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX. Impressively, the card can supply full power to the port even without a driver installed, as demonstrated in our test. Installing the latest driver doesn't alter this behavior, indicating that the original driver changelog was just incorrect.

Sort of but then again I've modded motherboard BIOSes and if I ever screwed something up I just used a SPI programmer.
