You spoke to them on phone? Or do you have email that you could quote? Did they mention anything about a ETA on a fix? Because I know several people who have the screen and are waiting for a public statement/fix but if nothing comes soon they will return the monitor.

I have issues with turning on HDR in Windows makes entire screen "washed out". Could be a windows thing though. HDR videos look great. Turning on LAD on desktop even in SDR actually look a bit similar to the washed out issue. So perhaps it's a matter of the screen needing to properly enable that only when HDR content is shown? I also have noticed a strange issue where having Gsync enabled and running CSGO in 240Hz mode is silky smooth. The info of the screen shows its working. Then I alt-tab to desktop and back to the game and it claims to be running 240Hz, the game has high framerate but everything feels sluggish. Looking at the info screen of the monitor then shows it stuck at 60Hz. Turning it off and back on an everything is back to being silky smooth again. So a few kinds for Samsun, and perhaps MS and Nvidia too, to fix. For in SDR most of the time it's working fine for me. I have not had any flickering, lines or anything like that. But I wanted to get a good HDR experience so I'm hoping Samsung responds and have a plan ASAP or I might return it. Sure its a great monitor (when it works) even in SDR at 240Hz... But for the price everything should work. For context I'm running a 3080Ti Suprim X and came from two 27" 16:9 monitors.

A quick question. I'm considering this case. How much clearence for coolers are there when things are mounted? The case claims to be 17.5cm in height and the be quiet pure rock I currently have are 15.5cm, so feels close. But even close could work

Kinda cool that it keeps pace with the 9900K then that does a four-core 4.7GHz boost. Would indicate the architectural changes matters quite a lot.

Are the boost clocks for all cores or single-core boost? I seem to remember hearing it was all core boost but I haven't been able to find a source to confirm it.

This is how my gen 2 that replaced my clogged gen 1 looked like after about three months. I have flushed it and filled it with good quality coolant and will see if that works. Idle temps down from almost 68C to 31C. If it starts clogging again I will return it for a refund and go with something else. https://twitter.com/DadTheTechie/status/1113144147781849090

Since the last post was August 5:th and you answered 1 hour after I posted my question I thought you were discussing with me by referencing earlier posts. Regarding Tctl on Threadripper it has an offset of 27 degrees. So a reported temperature of 90 degrees (by most programs that don't also offer Tdie, which you would then ofc look at) whould actually mean a Tdie of 63 degrees on Threadripper. Looking at Tctl and thinking that has a max of 68 degrees would make people panic for no reason.

But you don't address my initial question once. Which temp are people talking about when they post. Look at the OP, there seems to be a clear situation where tdie is confused with tctl. Because I have seen several OC tests of Theadripper 1950X at 4-4.2GHz that go above 68 degrees and don't throttle. Because the temp that is reported and that is over 68 degrees includes the offset. So the actual die temp is 27 degrees below that. So people claiming some temperature in a thread should probably identify if its tdie or tctl they are actually referencing. Otherwise things might look 27 degrees worse than they are and a cpu with a safe overclock might seem to go above max temp and incorrectly be believed to throttle.

But that video looks at the difference of using a TR4 specific cold plate vs a smaller size. The smaller size, not originally designed for TR4, gets hotter which I would excpect. The TR4 one seems much better and under water (which many HEDT users will go for) he says that "it's just difficult to make the thing heat up enough to be relevant, even with overclocking. Really temperature was not a concern with Threadripper". I would ofc go for a cooler designed for TR4 and it seems that will not pose a problem. But from the threads I read it seems people confuse the tdie 68 degree max with the reported temp that includes the offset. So I feel that when people talk temps, it should perhaps be good to specify which temp one is talking about.

But in the video they say the same thing. There is the core temp and then there is the core temp with the offset (tctl). With that (which many programs report) the throttle temp is 95 degrees. So, which was the one mentioned by Connerq? tdie or tctl? Becasue if people look at tctl and see 85 degrees and then compare that with the tdie max of 68 degrees they would be scared to death, without any actual need.

Are these temps including or excluding the offset? 85 degrees with the offset would be something like 58 degrees.
