Somewhat related note, my Tuf 6800 XT has developed god-awful coil whine Can't hear it when gaming but if I don't have headphones on it's terrible.

Notes for next build: mATX or ITX, windowless, "soundproof" case

Clarifying my like on the previous post haha. I like the latter half. The first half is

The aesthetics that Asus chose to use for Tuf are such a letdown, because the actual hardware is pretty well received.

That construction zone look isn't good at all. lol

I thought about it. I'm def gonna bring the mobo into work and put some black and blue stickers over that stuff. I got a couple weeks before I'm putting this thing together.

Forgot I had illustrator at home.

Think I might do something like this to cover up all the stupid yellow things. I won't even have a glass panel, and once the ram, gpu, and waterblock are installed it's gonna be mostly covered anyway.

Too much? lol

I know, my turbo blue isn't a perfect match. I cried myself to sleep.

It looks like it says 8:38.

Spooky.

Dell (Alienware monitor) approved an RMA right away. Very easy to work with. Sending out a replacement next day, get the new monitor, drop the old one in it's box, and send it back.

Although, they don't even do the "Give us a credit card to have on file in case you don't return the old one" thing. Nothing is stopping me from keeping them both

Weird that something like the time, that changes pixels every 60 seconds, would burn in... It does look like 8:38. What were you doing at that time that upset the universe?

 

[sterkrazzy]

I did my stickers. I did the opposite colors though. It looks so much better.

UPS says new monitor should be here today. A+ response from Dell.

So got my replacement from Dell yesterday and got it set up. Even though the agent I spoke to said it would be new, it's definitely a refurb unit. Which I'm fine with. Maybe.

This one has slight burn in from the start menu. Which, I'm not sure I would ever notice, unless I was specifically checking for it. Which is what I was doing.

You can't see it when the task bar is shown. You can really only see it if you have a dark grey background there lol.

So I dunno. I might chat them again and see what they say lol.

This seems like a bad model of monitor/panel if it burns in so easily I have never seen anything like this on my Dells (U2412M) or Samsungs (G52A) I've used for the past 15 years.

It's a problem with OLED screens.


I keep ordering shit for my new pc. Now I've got a 2nd 2tb ssd on the way along with another 32gb of ram. Not much longer until I can put this thing together.
