Thanks for the response and covering each question. Genuinely appreciate it. I've decided to stick with a dual monitor. It does seem to make more sense for my overly multitasking self lol. Perhaps in the future UW will have more flexibility to make the change really worth it.
-
Based on responses and what I've been reading I think I'll skip the UW and stick to my standard DS for now. Plus after seeing LTT do review of the new Alienware 4k monitor... I'm thinking I might go with that. Its easily leaps and bounds ahead of this current one I'm using. It was AMAZING 6 years ago, but its showing its age against more refined 4k monitors. Thanks for the input everyone

Unfortunately they were out of warranty by several months. If I had contacted them when the issue started they would have replaced them. The biggest issue is the slow warranty services and lack of communication. But having known malfunctioning hardware and not directly contacting those who purchased them (as much as is possible with 3rd party sellers) seems like a lapse as well. Not to the extent other companies have gone at least.

As a VERY late reply it took multiple messages and about a month to get a response. Once they did reply they told me they closed the warranty claim because it was out of the warranty period (by about 4 months). I asked why I wasn't notified, and they said their team made a mistake and apologized. Honestly, I'm doubting whether or not I'll buy from them again. A bad warranty experience really leaves a bad overall feeling. The Secret Shopper series really highlights the issues a lot of companies (any and all companies) can potentially have.

Follow Up question: If you run an Ultrawide what kind of monitor arm are you using? I'll end up having to replace mine.

My primary display is starting to die. It works fine then randomly flickers, goes blank, etc. Before it dies completely I want to get a new monitor. I'm currently running a dual monitor setup, but I'm looking for some input from those who have used both ultrawide and dual monitors. 1: Can you run an ultrawide like a dual monitor setup? For example: I've got Youtube, Floatplane, Netflix, or w/e else on the second screen while gaming on the main one. Can I split an ultrawide down the middle (or into thirds) so I can still do this? 2: Performance hit or bonus? I'm running a 4080 Super, but I live in California where electricity cost is insane. Has anyone noticed a difference in power draw and/or FPS for dual monitors vs Ultrawide while using it in situations like Question 1? 3: If you've gone from Dual Monitors to Ultrawide what has your personal experience been? Positives and negatives. 4: If you run an Ultrawide setup and have used multiple Ultrawide monitors what is something you've learned to watch out for? Any Surprises? Thanks for anyone who reads and responds!

The card is under warranty, he asked for the warranty information so he could send it in. He hasn't asked for his money back. I'm clarifying the power state with him. Whether it was in sleep mode or awake. I had assumed it was awake.

The title isn't click bait (unfortunately). I sold my EVGA 3080ti to a coworker recently. He's had it for about a week and a half. It's been running without any problems until last night. He said around midnight he woke up "the card literally started screaming, woke up everyone in the house, louder than any TV I've ever had at full blast". I have never heard of this happening. I'm not sure if he might have had a power surge that freaked out his system, or if it's something else entirely different. He said he restarted the computer and it's no longer doing it. I'm at a loss though on whether it could actually be the GPU doing it or something else. The warranty on the card is still good until June at least. I'd appreciate some help in troubleshooting or where to go from here to figure out the cause. I don't want to send the card into EVGA if it isn't the card doing it.

I used to run a 4790k myself. The stock cooler can't keep up (couldn't launch Fallout 4 without my PC shutting down). The cooler you linked will do great for it though.
-
I'm in the US. California to be more specific. I'm more concerned that they haven't contacted me to verify any details or to say yes/no to the warranty.

I ordered the original Lian Li Unifan when I finally found them in stock after they launched. Now two of them are having significant degradation in the RGB. I have them set to a Static Blue. One of the fans has multiple nodes that have failed so there is gaps in the RGB. They other will flicker or rapidly flash between red and blue. I submitted a warranty claim including a video of the issue. It's been two weeks and I have only received the initial response that my warranty claim was received. This is apparently a known issue with the fans. Has anyone else had long delays working with Lian Li warranties? I'm at a loss of what to do if they don't respond.

I've spoken to them, but after multiple keyboards failing I don't want to continue the replacement process. Really disappointed overall.
-
Honestly, this is probably going down that route as well. EVGA has always been a great company, even with their recent falling out with Nvidia. Just really disappointed in the quality of the keyboard. I'll check out the FTC site and see if there's any help there.
-
Direct from EVGA. Their keyboard selection is very limited. Its hard to want to risk a different model if the model I had was having so many issues. I've already bought a replacement keyboard, but I'm trying to get my money back at least.
-
I'm in the US, and I'm not just going to take a product that keeps failing and resell it to someone else. I have a little more decency than that.
