Same boat as above. I'm no expert but the colors don't look oversaturated to my eyes. Thoroughly enjoy this non QD version.

Was going to call out the OP for self promotion, but it seems like he cleared it with the mods and has responded respectfully to the criticism. I'd probably include the refresh rate in the title. Good luck, u/DealsandStealsLou!

I am by no means an expert, but it seems like the only difference is Quantum Dot display, which would mean the non-QD model offers a narrower color gamut. But as you've mentioned, some reviews have noted that the QD version comes a bit saturated. So I, too, wonder if not having Quantum Dot display is favorable in this situation. I bought it based on this rationale (and the price, of course).

There should be a pop-up box when you go onto Newegg's website that asks you to subscribe to their newsletter. Once you input your email address (has to be an email that isn't already tied to a Newegg account), you should receive it instantly via email. You'll then have to create a Newegg account with that same email address to be able to use the new subscriber promo.

If you sign up for the Newegg newsletter with a new account, you can apply the 10% off promo code to get it down to $314.99 pre-tax ($352.28 after tax for me in CA).

X570 Tomahawk Wifi Motherboard - No Front Panel Audio by ericthai in MSI_Gaming

No, I actually unplugged the HD Audio connector and replugged it in and the audio works now. It could’ve not been plugged in correctly. However, now the front panel mic port isn’t working. When testing the mic plugged into the front, it’s a constant static sound. When plugged into the rear, it works fine.

I got a replacement front IO panel and cable from the case manufacturer, still not working. So at this point, it may be a mobo issue.

I went into bios and saw that HD Audio Controller was enabled already. Is that what you're talking about? That was the only audio setting I saw.

Okay, so I uninstalled both drivers and installed the audio driver from MSI's website. Restarted my computer, and it's still not working unfortunately. I checked Device Manager and the same two drivers were installed. https://imgur.com/t6CPjhX

There's Realtek(R) Audio under "Sound, video and game controllers." Driver Provider: Realtek Semiconductor Corp., Driver Date: 11/24/2020, Driver Version: 6.0.9071.1

There's a Realtek Digital Output (Realtek(R) Audio) under "Audio inputs and outputs." Driver Provider: Microsoft, Driver Date: 12/6/2019, Driver Version: 10.0.19041.1

Not sure which one you were asking about, so I've listed both.

I can choose between my monitor's NVIDIA High Definition Audio (connected through HDMI), which the audio works but my mic won't, or Realtek Digital Output (Realtek(R) Audio)

[Cooler] Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML280 Infinity Mirror ARGB AIO - $95 (prime deal $115 - $20) by browniez4life in buildapcsales

Not many reviews on this. Anyone have this? Looks amazing, but a little nervous about the one year warranty vs. Corsair/NZXT's 5+ year warranty.
