Hi all, I have an Aorus FO48U like the Linus video linked HERE (11.45) In the video Linus uses the nvidia control panel to emulate an ultrawide style setup by creating top and bottom black bars (11.45 in Video). Using the control panel I am able to get the black bars and it looks great but as soon as I open Destiny 2 (my main game) the screen returns to using the whole panel, despite the fact I ticked the box that says to override game settings. Can anyone help shed some light on this?

Thanks for sharing will check it out! I have both options, I have it set to PWM at the moment but have been manually over riding via lian li software when temps are rising.

Hi all, I have a custom loop with a 5950X and RTX3090 in an O11 Dynamic with 8 Lian-Li UniFans. I am struggling when playing certain games which dont load the CPU (destiny 2 mostly) where my PWM fan control wont increase the fan speed unless I manually change it. Is there a way I could have my fans increase based on GPU temp or coolant temp? I have a coolant temperature sensor which can connect to a header on my asus board but I dont know how I would link that to the fan PWM profile. Apologies if this is a noob question I am quite new to custom cooling. Thanks, Mark

A 42 could be the answer! the reason for aorus was the display port input and built in KVM switch

Hi all, after watching the Linus video on the AORUS FO48U I really want one for my setup. however I can’t seem to escape the feeling that sitting at a desk with that monitor might be too close a viewing distance/angle. I am a bit concerned about eye strain. Am I being silly or have others experienced this? thanks, Mark

Hello everyone, I have a custom loop water cooled system and I’m using a pci-e riser cable. To get it to boot I had to manually set the PCIE to gen 3 as the riser seems to cause issues. I had some issues so cleared CMOS forgetting about this and now I can’t boot. Can anyone think of a way past this without breaking my loop open? I was thinking perhaps I could edit a bios file to force the slot to PCIE 3.0? Thanks, Mark

I did but have another 2x sticks of G.Skill 3600 coming. I got rid of all my corsair stuff when I went custom loop so decided to change RAM, Regretting now

ahh okay. I didnt realise that. I was previously able to run 3600MHz on my corsair RAM which is strange. I will try and find some more friendly settings

Hi guys, I recently got some G.Skill Trident Z RGB 3600Mhz kit (2x8GB). However when I turn on D.O.C.P or leave that to auto and set them to 3600MHz manually the system wont post until it eventually posts in safe mode. This may be a silly question but if my RAM is rated for that then surely it should boot without issue, are my sticks fauly?

No I don’t, I do have armoury crate?

Hi all, I am struggling a bit with my ASUS board and controlling my EK D5 pump built into my distro plate. I have the pump connected to the water pump header on my ROG hero. I want to run the pump at 100% to help clear any trapped air. so I have set the QFan settings for that header to be always at 100% but when I quit out the bios it remains in what appears to be a normal setting. Spinning up as and when the pc picks up a load any suggestions please?

Hi all, Currently planning out my first loop in my O11 dynamic with a distro block. I am trying to get my head around a few things. Wondering if any fellow O11 owners could help me out. Please note I am talking standard O11, not the XL If I put the distro in the front, can I run a rad/fans at the top, bottom and also vertically mount the GPU? if I can’t run a rad/fans at the bottom due to the vertical mount. Could I mount the radiator on the back of the side panel and connect it to the block? I’ve done a fair bit of Googling but there is very limited info about a front distro in a non XL case

Thank you! I have been torn between which distro plate to go for, however I dont think I would be able to do a 360 on the bottom with a regular o11 and distro plate, do you know if that is the case?

Hi Guys, I am keen to replicate this example setup in my O11D case as per the EK website. Could someone tell me which radiators these are? EK make so many and its hard to match thm to the pictures on the site.

Okay that’s good to hear, even with a thick radiator?

Hi all, I am planning to do a custom loop in my rig in signature. I currently use corsair QL120 RGB fans however reading online I see these are not the best in terms of static pressure. Will these be okay in a loop? Im planning 2x 360mm EKWB PE Radiators.

Thanks for this. I have tried tweaking these settings but sadly no luck. My temps on GPU are 65-70 and CPU is mid 60s. However I notice in task manager while playing my GPU usage is less than 20%, is this to be expected, I thought a game would hit the GPU hard? I tried this, still low - no noticeable boost. I beleive so, but what confuses me is when I reduce the settings I see little boost in performance. I am now downloading the campaign mode to test this, thanks!

Hi guys, I am rather confused by my results in Warzone. Playing 1440p max settings (RTX on) I struggle to get more than 140fps. Looking at others results it looks like 200+ should be possible? Perhaps I am mistaken. I beleive everything is working as it should be with my CPU/GPU, See 3D mark score to validate these thoughts. https://www.3dmark.com/spy/17199934 Can anyone suggest something to try?

Unfortunatley this hasnt helped.. such a frustration

It was enabled, I have now turned off. Away from PC now but will report back ASAP.

Just the standard windows defender, I did try running norton power eraser as per the advice above. However I did have and recently uninstalled Malware Bytes, could that be the issue?

Norton Power Eraser reports no risks.. This is such a confusing problem.

Thanks for the advice! How do you roll back updates? No errors Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations. Unfortunatley that doesnt resolve the issue. When i try to click on the taskbar during this 10 minute phase I think it is doing a restart of the explorer process due to the crash.

Hi everyone, I am very confused and hoping for some help.. My rig ( in sig below) has all of a sudden started being extremley slow to fully load windows. Initial boot up and login is fine but then I get to the desktop and the taskbar items dont load and it just shows a spinning blue circle, I also cant access the start menu or any of the search functions. During this my start up apps such as razer synapse, corsair iCUE, Steam etc also do not open. I can however access and open apps if I navigate manually by opening a folder from the desktop to get into explorer. After 10iish minutes my taskbar loads and all runs like normal. I have no clue where to start troubleshooting this. Can anyone offer some advice? Regards, Mark

Hello, I would like to upgrade my corsair SF750W PSU to a 1000w Corsair unit. As Im sure we all know PSUs are hard to get at the moment, someone local to me is selling a 1000w PSU but its unit only - no cables included. Can the cables from my SF750 be used?
