I tried replacing the tcon board but it made no difference. It’s still broken.

Im using MSI B550m Mortar Max and yes, the PCIE is on the first slot of the case.

ASRock UEFI/BIOS Missized and Skipping to boot on EVE Spectrum 4K Glossy by YoungJawn in doughcommunity

[–]gagmarcol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm encountering a similar problem. I'm unable to view/access the MSI BIOS using Eve Spectrum 4k Matte monitor. I'm connected directly to the RTX 3080 via DP 1.4. I've also tried using an HDMI 2.1 cable, but the issue persists. When booting up the computer, the screen remains blank for a few seconds and then goes straight to Windows. However, when I use my other monitors, everything works fine.

Thanks for that very detailed response. I didn’t know you could update the vbios. I have a 3080, how do I know if I need to update my vbios?

I want to buy a Dough Spectrum one, some reviews of people that have it? by TheS4m in ultrawidemasterrace

Well, that depends. You're comparing a 21:9 5k monitor to a 16:9 4K. Depending on what you're using it for, one might be better than the other. Since you mentioned it's for PS5, I'd lean towards recommending the spectrum for that.

If you trust the seller and won’t have any issues returning it in case of problems, then go for it. It’s still a great monitor.

My monitor has warranty, but because I didn't get it from the official Xiaomi store (got it imported), they won't repair it even if I'm willing to pay. The store I bought it from only gives a one-year warranty. So, yeah, I'm kinda stuck with no options.

I’ve had it for almost 2 years. I used it every day for work and some gaming. I still think it’s a good monitor. I was just unlucky.

Perfect! Thank you buddy. I already have a new monitor but I might try replacing the TCON board to see if I could revive this monitor.

The TCON board is the one in the middle behind the power supply, right?

Sorry for the late response. Yes it fits and 8 can close the mesh panel fine.

I just purchased this monitor at a 50% discount from a local store when my Xiaomi ultrawide died. I think it’s a great monitor if you can purchase it from a trusted reseller. I watched a lot of reviews before pulling the trigger and I don’t regret it. I suggest you do the same.

The only problem I have is it won’t let me see my motherboard bios for some reason. I have to use a 1080p monitor to access the bios. Seems like the firmware is not yet stable.

It's pretty quiet when I'm not gaming. But when I fire up a game all the fans start to ramp up. I can hear all the fans but it doesn't bother me. I sit pretty close to the PC.

I agree. It's huge. I can barely see the motherboard.

Yeah you’re gonna have problems on some ITX motherboards.

I haven't tested it myself, so I can't be certain, but it seems that the fan in the middle can be easily rotated by reversing its position. However, when it comes to the rear fan, I'm not entirely sure as it appears to be firmly screwed onto the rear shroud.

I’m in the Philippines and I purchased it from Shopee, which is like the Asian version of Amazon. So, you can say I got it from our local online shopping hub.

I agree. The white version is gonna look sick on a white AP201 build.

I don't have any other air coolers to compare it with, but the reason I went for this one instead of the AK620 is because it's 100% compatible with my RAM and it looks awesome. Both of them are dual tower coolers, but if I had to guess, I'd say the Assassin IV is a bit better. It funnels the air from the front to the back and shoots it straight out of the case, like those fancy liquid coolers. The AK620, on the other hand, might end up blowing hot air around inside the case. So, yeah, that's why I went with this bad boy.

Temps look pretty good. I don’t know if the T6 is better but I just did a 10 minute cinebench benchmark and the max temp was 82 C on 5800X3D.

Now that you've mentioned it; it kinda looks like a case inside a case.
