I read the fan is loud?

Depends on if your pc is dead silent then you will hear it. If normal pc then you hear it a little but not a huge deal.

I actually never hear it no more unless I listen for it. If you get the free sync version that only has one fan instead of two.

Weird thing to have a fan in a monitor but I never think of it no more.

So yea can't find it cheaper than £1k atm.

I'm not really desperate for a new monitor. I'm still very happy with current monitor. But I do imagine a new monitor with hdr and a higher res would be nice.

Money is not a problem. It's just I had no plans to upgrade monitor. But then noticed the Alienware and it gave me ideas... :cool:

I still had some coil whine at 950mv @2745mhz so I took the advice of a guide and tried 910mv at 2700mhz...sadly it wasn't stable but I was able to get it stable at 920mv @ 2700mhz and I also added a small +250mhz OC on the ram. It ended up eliminating almost all of the cards coil whine and I've hardly lost any performance vs stock ( depends on the game and if I cap framerates but at most I lose about 1-2% ). This ended up with a furmark stress test power draw of 144.5W

Undervolting can be fun :D

By the way I am told the sweetspot for the 4070 is running the card at 2610mhz at 910mv and overclocking the memory by about +1000mhz. You need the memory overclock to compensate for the loss of performance running at 2610mhz as it works out to a 5% loss from stock if you do not

Missing out on a lot actually. I would rather a 7900 XT and a Alienware QD-OLED. OLED and proper HDR make a big difference. Especially when the game has good HDR implementation.

Good hdr implementation and pc gaming are 2 words I thought I would never see together. Examples please? I bought a lg g3, put it in fmm or hgig if possible and all the games I have played so far in hdr have been pants to the point I just turned it off.

Most games with HDR look more HDR like (thanks to the QD-LED VA) playing them using SDR than HDR on my Philips Momentum 436M6 :( unlike stuff like HDR videos, etc. which can be completely transformative.

Quite a few actually.

There is a HDR thread if you search it, it has my recommendations plus other people's.
 
The Strix 4090 uses a two slot bracket to hold it in place but is 3.5 slots deep, do I need to remove the 3rd and 4th slot covers for it to fit, or will the cooler fit without their removal?

Have you used the free Windows HDR Calibration tool you get from the MS Store ? Makes a huge difference.

As for games, The Witcher 3, Cyberpunk 2077, The Last of Us Part 1, Basically all of the recent Assassins Creed games.

Even when games do not have HDR, Window 11's Auto HDR feature is really nice.

I have used that, it washes out the picture when I turn on hdr, its odd because films look amazing
