Are we sure that that is 512MB, as according to this https://datasheet.ciiva.com/26785/k4g20325fd-fc04-26785648.pdf that memory chip is 2Gb (gigabit) which when divided by 8 gives 256MB (megabyte), or is my math wrong. 4 of those give 1GB.

That was a bit painful to watch as those appear to be Samsung SyncMaster 793-s, a monitor very popular in my region. Almost anyone who I spoke about their old / first PC had one of these monitors. Speaking of which, I still have mine and it it still working and being used.

Out of curiosity, was it just one device? I used 4.0.4 ICS on my Xperia Arc S for 8 years also.

Looks like @cretsiah was correct. According to the manula https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA1151/ROG_STRIX_Z390-E_GAMING/E14841_ROG_STRIX_Z390-E_GAMING_UM_V2_WEB.pdf page 83 it does state to pres F8 for selecting boot device during startup.

Your motherboard should have a key dedicated to opening boot selection menu directly. That's what I use. You set the windows drive as default as usual, but then you hit the appropriate key during boot and select the linux one from menu. That way you shouldTM avoid have to mess with bootloaders.

It should run it at 144/165 over DP. My 280x runs 1440p LG at 144 and two other monitors at 60.

I'm not sure if it will be of any help, but this is original adapter that came with my (european) wheel.

This. HDMI is bandwidth limited I have bigger brother GL850 and it does 144Hz fine on displayport.

There shouldn't be any harm, as I'm pretty sure it won't let you shrink it to a point where data is lost.

Do same steps, but while you are booted in USB live session

As @For Science! pointed out, use live session from USB. That warning means operation cannot be executes as the partition is in use while system is booted.

Select one of the partitions, than click on the gears icon next to the [ + ] and there should be Resize option.

That's the problem as @Action_Johnson pointed out. You need to use Displayport cable. The one included with the monitor is fine. I'm using it with mine and getting 144Hz.

Is it connected via HDMI or Displayport

Cool. Do you plan to make it public when you finish it? I plan on fixing / replacing one in my FK-5001 when I eventually get around to it.

Does calculator display work?

They are not that bad. You just have to be careful if the paste is really sticky and you have to use lot of force to break it off, as then it may be hard to stop before you yank the cables. IIRC, when I opened mine I tried lift it off so the pivot point is on the edge of the card near the fan connectors (card laying on the backplate) to avoid damaging them. Anyway, after you unstick it from the gpu, unplug the fans (with a flathead screwdriver, both connectors have like "wings" you can use to pry them), and only then can you really remove it fully. Annoying part is that when the cooler is held by only fan wires you can rotate it only about 90 degrees, so you cant really lay it flat to unplug the fans. My recommendation is to get another pair of hands to help you.

Those are not stickers, but brass sockets for the screws. Backplate is screwed from the frond side. I have 280x Toxic, which uses the same coller. It is held on by 4 main screws around the GPU, and two black ones on the IO. Watch the fan cables as they are bit short.

You can set the keyboard layout in windows to what ever you want. The drawback is that things printed on the keyboard do not are not always located on that key. For example, my keyboard physically has US layout, so semicolon is right of the L key, but on keyboard layout set in windows to my language that key prints out Č.

Thermaltake Core P5 or P3

It connect here

I would go for 5x1440, since that is the closest to what you have now so it will require minimal effort to adjust.

If you want DIY version

Most motherboards have "show boot menu/options" key that will allow you to directly select which device you boot from without having to change the order in the bios.

If you can find it - Scythe Fuma 2.
