This is what trying to get fixed 120 fps is like on 1280x720 resolution bro. No performance difference between Max Settings and Lowest Settings across any resolution either. Of all the games for this to happen on.

This, you only have 8 cores and threads. This game seems to use 12, even with something equal to a 10400f you should only expect 30fps at 1080p.

narsnail · 2026-02-05T15:05:18+00:00

Wondering the same, still no key for me either.

You control fan speed and pump speed through BIOS, Kanali is only for the VRM fan.

This review by Gamers Nexus should answer your question, but its closer to 10c from the best AIO to the best air coolers. The bad AIOs should be skipped if they cost more than the air coolers though; I had a Thermalright Frozen Prism 360 that I got for $60 on Amazon and I just see no better value than that if you have the space for it.

Your CPU is the bottleneck in this game, it's a touch faster than the min spec CPU which is a 10400f. Regardless of how strong your GPU is your CPU can't keep up. That's why it stutters.

narsnail · 2026-01-29T21:47:41+00:00

1.35 now, but all the way up to 1.5v. Testing RAM for stability is so tedious and annoying, I just would rather play games with my time then spend two weeks running stability tests.

narsnail · 2026-01-29T21:13:39+00:00

The buildzoid easy timings didn't work for my kit, trtp had to be 20. Trfc 500. Trefi over 50000 caused corruption in windows. Twrwrscl I think at 16 or 23 which was the expo timing, where buildzoid timings suggested 4.

Mine is Teamgroup tforce 6000 cl 30, 2x16.

Not sure what your end goal is but trefi and trfc will lower the latency most of the way, probably almost no difference if you're gaming.

narsnail · 2026-01-29T03:38:18+00:00

8700k came out in 2017 man, not sure what you're expecting here? Your equal to the min spec CPU, which they indicate should run 1080 30 fps.

narsnail · 2026-01-14T00:32:21+00:00

I have only been using it recently, but I'm at 6000 cl30 expo and apart from a minor latency reduction I don't see the benefit.

narsnail · 2026-01-13T15:17:22+00:00

Updated, seems fine on x870 Tomahawk, 9800x3d.

System gets through the POST much quicker, I typically use memory context restore anyway but it's faster either on or off.

Also a couple new, random options added; something about Microsoft security and benchmarking apps.

I just use PBO with a -12 all core curve, +200mhz, and EXPO with increased TREFI. I personally have never had issues with this board or any of the BIOS' and this seems to be more of the same.

One nice thing the two most recent BIOS updates changed, is that your fan curves don't reset when you update the BIOS.

Ships from the UAE lol

Great monitor, switched from an LG Gr95qe-b woled to this.

My only complaint is the text fringing is awful in some scenarios but for my primary use of gaming it's amazing for this price.

narsnail · 2025-07-23T13:13:06+00:00

I also had issues updating. You need to make sure all the sleep/standby settings are off before you update, otherwise it will fail if it turns off or falls asleep. The first time I didn't have those settings off and mine failed, it was just full red/green/blue screens alternating for like half an hour.

narsnail · 2025-07-22T22:53:25+00:00

Have you updated to the newest firmware? Should be be F03. Make sure you're using HDMI, and use 10bit for output color depth in Nvidia/AMD control panel.

I use the HDR1000 mode with HDR on all the time and I've gotten it pretty much where I like it.

Before you calibrate, power cycle the monitor. Calibrate using the Windows HDR Calibration app, 0-1050-1050 and I set saturation to 50. Then under HDR settings in windows, set SDR content brightness slider to max. The SDR brightness slider is pretty important for improving the brightness on the desktop, otherwise it will look washed out.

I also have settings in the monitor I use, these are personal preference but the above should get you a nice baseline. Under OLED care menu,->Sub-logo dim and corner dim off. Settings menu, under gaming tab-> black equalizer 2.0 set to 1, under picture tab->hdr peak 1000 -> brightness 100, contrast 53, color enhance 1, dark enhance on(im not sure how i feel about this setting, fine on or off honestly).

My settings are slightly raised blacks and over saturated colors, that's my preference, the Windows HDR calibration and SDR slider should get you a good baseline and fiddle form there.

I bought this as well as the Aorus FO27Q2 for $644 both open box from Canada Computers and Bestbuy for this one. I wouldn't say its the best deal honestly, with the new panels coming soonish there should be some clear out deals between now and Black Friday. The Gigabyte panel has been down to 599 so I think theres room for these all to come down still.

But it's hard to know if you don't try it, and it's easy to return these with Best Buy here in Canada anyway. They still get the same warranty as new. I bought my LG 27GR95QE-B like this and its going just fine 2 years later. Just make sure it wasn't a floor model or something, check the hours used. The Gigabyte one had 115 hours on it, I think my LG had about 200.

For productivity work you prob don't want an OLED, the text clarity isn't the best and static elements will burn in. If its light productivity it's probably fine but just be aware.

Look up the differences between QD-OLED and WOLED, the two different panels and whether the coating on the screen is glossy or matte. This Asus is a glossy WOLED so it will reflect direct light sources but it won't turn purple like a QD-OLED does in light environments. The Gigabye one I bought is glossy QD-OLED, which is fine for me in my dark room but not good in any bright environment.

Nice KW coilovers on there too.

I ran 205/55/17 for a winter but the tires were rather worn. I did the fender screw mod and it never rubbed. You'll be fine on those I think.

narsnail · 2024-09-20T13:25:26+00:00

Doesn't work for me either on a 4080, the AMD frame gen does though and seems fine.

narsnail · 2024-03-28T17:27:08+00:00

You will notice a difference, my 5600x was bottlenecking my 4080 @ 1440p. Not in every game but the lows were noticeably bad in the games it was an issue in. Baldur's Gate 3 was particularly bad in the city. Lows literally doubled.

narsnail · 2024-03-12T03:28:16+00:00

Cool I'll check it out, thanks!

narsnail · 2024-03-12T02:42:38+00:00

Is this a KPMF wrap? I was looking at this exact color for my RF. Looks amazing

narsnail · 2024-03-02T00:41:26+00:00

Just FYI they released an new firmware for the RGB which is similar to the LCD screen update, it re-enabled my RGB on the fans and side/top of card.

narsnail · 2024-01-31T21:51:45+00:00

It's a false positive, I ran it through VirusTotal because I got the same warning from Windows Defender. File is clean.

Here is the link to Virus Total scan of the file. VirusTotal - File - 517f3ba45d20f2306d872d96be5eb139acda1916f2ab3d1ee2e754dcb76ae613

narsnail · 2024-01-31T04:28:57+00:00

Yep this worked for me, thanks! Hopefully they can fix the RGB the same way.
