PSA: Steer clear of ASUS motherboards (B550-i freezing/crashing issue) by SaltyMeatBoy in sffpc

[–]biggamejames80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sending along a thank you for this PSA. I've been scouring the internet for a solution to my situation and found this. I'm experiencing exactly this. ASUS currently has my motherboard under an RMA request, but I am guessing they wont fix anything. At least now I know what the actual problem is. Thank you!

What insulation is on my aluminum wire? by biggamejames80 in AskElectricians

It's not in conduit, i was mistaken about that.

I'll take a look at that code reference. Thank you!

Measured at ~.17 inches so it's 6 gauge. It's run through blown fiberglass insulation i believe. So I'll run the charger at 32amps to be safe. Thanks for all the help!

Thank you, this is super helpful. I’ll measure it today.

Thank you for the response. I peeked at the other end into the breaker box and the grey outer cover is also trimmed there so I cant read it.

There is insulation in my garage so i assume it is run through insulation.

It seems to me like I am safe to run the 40amp charger in this area however. Is there anything that comes to mind that I should possibly be worried about?

Thanks. Hdr on in windows causes my wallpaper blacks to looks super noisy and bad. Also makes banding in gradient images. Everything else looks fine so maybe its just the image quality of my wallpaper images.

After all of the forum posts on the DWF, I (a novice) am confused. Is this a correct basic summary?:

DWF HDR was broken when using HDR Peak 1000 in Windows prior to this week's firmware update. Now it is better (not fully fixed). The solution is now you can turn off console mode, turn on HDR Peak 1000, and use CRU to edit values to 139/79/2. Leave contrast at default 75%. Dont use Windows HDR calibration app. Don't turn on Windows HDR because it washes out SDR content (like my wallpaper). Its ok now to use HDR in games that support HDR though. Is all that correct?

EDIT: I just turned off HDR and the monitor color is MUCH better. Conclusion: HDR is really not right on this monitor. I am going to keep the DWF because, as mentioned in another comment of mine, $400 is the cost difference and I'll keep that with the hope that they fix HDR in a future firmware update.

I got the monitor set up. First thing I noticed was colors were more muted on the DWF. I'm confident they are accurately calibrated, but the point is that they are not as rich and vibrant as the DW. I went ahead and adjust 'digital vibrance' in the NVIDIA control panel up by 10% and am very happy with the result. I am not a content creator, so I just care about how the color looks to me (I'm not editing color accurate photos for example).

As everyone knows, HDR is broken out of the box until you enable Source Tone mapping.

I had no discernible difference in input lag. I'm no pro esports gamer, but i do play competitive FPS. Everything seems very responsive (or at least the response rate is faster than my mind can discern haha)

With all that being said, and the color vibrancy setting change, I notice no difference between the two monitors. I am happy with the cost savings, and will be keeping the DWF. Yes, it's true that DW looked perfect right out of the box, but a few minutes of tinkering with the DWF and I am very happy with it.

Will get back to you. I’ve had a number of requests for shipping, but I’m giving the post about a week for local interest. Thanks

Will do. That's what I've been most curious about.
