After spending 4 hours messing with everything imaginable under the sun, I finally found the trigger. That has to be turned off for windows to allow HDR to be enabled.

Hey All! Been having a really hard time nailing this one down.. Can't seem to get HDR working on my Alienware 3423DW. Current Config: CPU: 5900X GPU: 7900XTX RAM: 32GB MOBO: Asrock X570 Taichi. I've tried this at 8 bpc color depth and 10 bpc color depth My DXDiag shows the following message: I'm kind of running into a wall, hoping someone here can help me figure out whats going on.

Some way to clean thermal paste in mobo?
Tempestwins replied to PRONOOB895's topic in General Discussion
https://www.amazon.com/Noctua-NA-SCW1-Cleaning-Thermal-Pieces/dp/B07MXGXNDD These work really well for me -
https://www.theverge.com/2020/1/27/21083260/eve-v-next-product-spectrum-monitor-price-specs https://www.engadget.com/2020/01/27/eve-spectrum-gaming-monitors/ https://evedevices.com/pages/spectrum/ This honestly seems like a Dream monitor, at least for me personally. IPS Panel, 1 ms Response Time, a whackton of ports, and 240 hz refresh rate thats Gsync and Freesync pro compatible. It literally has everything you would want in a monitor.. Stand is a separate purchase... (sneaky side-eye to apple) but only $100

Thank you so much @Dogknight AND @done12many2 The "GO THREADRIPPER" bs is getting seriously annoying. like.. if im going for a HEDT setup, Im not doing it blind. I just bought a Asus Prime X299 Deluxe cause i got it for a ridiculous deal (open box 330 + the 30 dollar microcenter discount for pairing together with a cpu). Im also about to buy a 2nd 960 Evo to raid 0 them. This is my build Intel Core i7 7820x Asus Prime x299 Deluxe Corsair H115i Pro RGB Liquid CPU Cooler Corsair Graphite 780T Case Corsair Vengeance 16 Gigs DDR3000 RGB Ram Corsair HX1000i PSU 500 GB 960 Evo 2 X 4 TB 7200 RPM Seagate Barracuda HDDS Asus ROG STRIX GTX 1080 Im waiting cause i wanted to De-Lid my CPU so waiting for my tool to arrive to do it and liquid metal all up in it! Only thing now is just to set up the NVMe Raid and making sure I put the right drivers on my flash drive for it. -

My current top 2 atm are the Asus x299 Deluxe and the Gigabyte Gaming 7. Ive always been partial to asus boards due to their Awesome Bios and solid build and features but have only heard good things about the gaming 7 -

That puts my mind at ease about the 7820x more.. Only question is for the MOBO.. im still a lil conflicted as to what might be a good choice. I've always been partial to asus boards but have seen good things about some msi and gigabyte boards too and a lot of negativity about x299 as a whole but I think bios updates have cleared up that issue. -

as much as I shouldn't have had issues, I worked with 5 other people all with similar setups and ran the exact same settings they did, and I had issues. Only diff was I game at 1440 not 1080. Eitherway, that cpu is dead or irrelevant. -

I have 2 1070s, ideally id like to use both for gaming. and have a long term solution to a problem. I stream at 720 60 fps but game at 1440p. the 5820k i was using was struggling with the workload and things looked like shit which is why i went to nvenc originally. -

thank YOU for not trying to shove threadripper down my throat. So can you guide me a bit here? Im using 2 1070s (both salvaged). and 2 960 evos. Is the 8700k going to be sufficient for the gaming/streaming load for the forseeable future or should i just stick to my current plan and get a 7820x? -

not using cpu based, gonna be doing it off nvenc. gonna be getting the 7820 for a decent price so im going with that over the threadrippers.. + both are 8 core processors, the 7820 just clocks higher.
