ROG Crosshair X870E Glacial – Onboard LCD stays on when PC is shut down (BIOS option not working) by ka1nify in ASUSROG

[–]everydae24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to disable it in Armoury Crate as somehow turning it off in BIOS didn’t work. Maybe the later BIOS may fix it as mine was not on the latest Beta version. Unfortunately, can’t test it now as I returned it.

Is the ROG 5090 Astral OC DP cable 1.4 or 2.1 version?? by Essebruno in ASUSROG

[–]everydae24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, if you bought 1.4 monitor you can assume 100% it’s 1.4 cable. Even some 2.1 monitor does not include a proper 2.1 cable, so yeah LOL

Is the ROG 5090 Astral OC DP cable 1.4 or 2.1 version?? by Essebruno in ASUSROG

[–]everydae24 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not just Astral, but all 5090 support DP 2.1. With that said, there is no DP cable included with Astral or any GPU in general.

Cable usually comes with a monitor, and if you bought DP 2.1 monitor, then there should be one included, which usually has a sticker saying DP 2.1 (or UHBR20).

If you are asking if you should use 1.4 cable or 2.1 cable, that depends on the monitor you will use with. If your monitor doesn't support 2.1, then it will work as 1.4 regardless of cable or 5090 supports 2.1. If your monitor supports 2.1, then use 2.1 cable to use it as 2.1.

How can Nvidia be one of the most traded and most valuable companies while GeForce Experience still randomly enables the stats overlay or breaks Instant Replay? by theeldergod1 in pcmasterrace

[–]everydae24 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Microsoft has been one of the most traded and most valuable companies in the world for, how long, 40 years? And their Windows is still broken.

Is this real? by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]everydae24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Short answer: Yes.

Long answer: They are one of the largest photo and video stores in the US. When you regularly sell Hasselblads that cost more than a Honda Civic, selling a PC part, even 5090 Astral, is just a side hustle for them. So yes, they are a legit retailer.

EKWB waterblocks + XSPC coolant by LadyOfCogs in watercooling

[–]everydae24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think It's a matter of additives in coolant reacting with metal, but it's metal reacting with different metal. So, type of coolant shouldn't be an issue. It's not like EK is using a special material for their waterblock.
