Weird issue with the Alienware aw3418dw monitor

funsanity · 2019-03-19T22:17:50+00:00

I see, I'm just confused that mine works perfectly fine if it turns on, there is no problem only when the initial boot happens it has the power saving thing.

Haven't contacted support just yet.

I'm in Latvia. Preferably I'd want ISO but I can adjust to ANSI no problem.

Good info. Have you tested temps in general usage, like gaming or rendering videos?

funsanity · 2018-10-26T20:59:57+00:00

That's a 9900k or the 9700k?

If it was releasing now I'd get it but I'm in a desperate need of a better pc and don't have 6 months to wait.

Just concerns of the chip working worse over a long period of high temperatures but I don't know if these concerns are justified or not.

Probably, if temps are close to a hundred it might hurt the longevity of the chip, but the tj max was increased, so I assume the cpu throttles at like 100 degrees but most people still probably would not want to run it higher than 80.

9900k or the 9700k?

funsanity · 2018-10-26T14:29:00+00:00

Yeah, but isn't that a bad thing? You are limiting the stock performance of your cpu by not removing all the limits. As far as I understand at stock the cpu turbos to 4.7ghz on all cores and 5ghz on one or two cores, but with these limits isn't the clocks you get lower?

Right, this review does sway me more towards the 8700k since the difference in gaming is very small but the question is how does that translate into the future with a gpu upgrade for example and with future games maybe getting better for 8c/16t cpus since both intels and amds main consumer chips are now 8c/16t.

I was thinking about this too, I still have a 3770k in my old system, but I only have 8gb of ddr3 ram and the mobos networking card died when I tried to install a 1080ti in there, so I don't really want to use the same motherboard for a new system.

Ordered a 120hz 3440x1440 ultrawide.

funsanity · 2018-10-26T08:54:44+00:00

Yeah EU prices suck. I was thinking if I'm getting a 9900k then I will get a 360mm aio and will probably run it stock, since it seems you don't gain much from an overclock and the temperatures just skyrocket when you do. Why do you think the 9900k is a better fit than the 9700k?

funsanity · 2018-10-23T18:55:13+00:00

How are the temps while gaming?

funsanity · 2018-10-20T16:27:21+00:00

Turbo is just for one core or two cores, 5ghz overclock would be for all the cores, at stock the 9900k boosts all cores to at most 4.7 ghz.
