Looks to be normal for that specific monitor/panel (along with bad white balance even after calibration). It is not at all what to expect from IPS. For any decent IPS panel you will see detail loss, slight dimming and color shift... when looking at it from practically side-on, not from any...

None of this responsibility is on Nvidia, sadly. The manufacturer bought the silicone from Nvidia, built a card and cooler around it to their rules, boxed it and sold it to Newegg. That means the faulty hardware agreement is either on Newegg or the manufacturer the card originates from. For now...

I don't have the monitor myself, so can't confirm whether you need DP to run 10bit. Unless you're staring at gradients on black backgrounds, then you won't really notice much difference between 8bit dithered and 10bit. The difference can come in play with competent HDR, but the monitors...

Sadly these 90° adapters also haven't proven their track record of being a reliable fix, circling back to 12vhpwr just being a shoddy standard, even for 3rd parties trying to follow the guidelines to dot. It's probably better than nothing, and better than the abomination 4 split octopus Nvidia...

Recommend would be a strong word if we're talking going back to the old Deepcool PSU since it's not unlikely it just killed a GPU. I can't in good faith recommend that over a forum post. If that's what you wish, then all I can recommend is at least get a replacement cable. If going back to the...

Years ago most people could recommend a small handful of brands internationally that you'd be almost guaranteed a good experience, these days I'd say that ended with a bang with EVGA being the last one where they straight up left the GPU market. You're best off doing your due diligence looking...

I'd see it in person and try to discern the battery quality as best as possible, as old replacement batteries in most regions are going to set you back much more than the deal you're bargaining for. If it's in good quality (as in, battery replaced before selling), then yeah it ain't a bad email...

While 1x to 16x adapter/risers exist, I believe you'll be limited to 25w instead of 75w, assuming your intention isn't plugging external power into the GPU from your PSU. Those risers are like 10 bucks on Amazon, so it'd be a matter of trying it and see if it works. If it doesn't you likely lost...

It's not impossible that it might've loosened, especially after maybe getting tightened/strained from cable management? Or even just a good knock from being put on the floor or another table. I think even when being careful, fully checking the PSU side of the connection is easily overlooked just...

Sounds to me like air/bubbles in the pump. With enough air you'd definitely see a temperature spike as pumps a terrible at moving air around, and as such doesn't move enough water to the radiator. Example video from Asetek on how you can clear the bubbles:

a bit of a nothing-burger answer, but I don't really think you should expect a conclusive answer for this post. It boils down to: "Why did my GPU die, and will it happen again?" To see if anything electric, and relevant to the 12vhpwr connector, has fried something requires physical...

Looks like you were lucky keeping the pins intact on the 3600 with the classic ripping it out of an AM4 socket. Reminder to run the system for a while before removing the cooler to soften the thermal paste, and to twist side to side to loosen it before lifting. I'd probably stick that 3600 back...

An unused fan slot and/or fan is not a problem if cooling isn't a problem. It'd be for aesthetic reasons, and since it's an NF-A15, it sure ain't that. Got enough PWM headers for the amount of fans? No problem in just using them. Don't have enough? Get a hub. Care about cable management enough...

Assuming it's a typical framed American wall and not concrete, can hang a board (stack it up for thickness if need be) to the studs and then attach the vesa wall mounts to that. Regardless wall mounting will be fill and paint when you move out, but at least in this case you're more unlikely to...

Video is down, so can't check for myself. But if it's a higher pitched buzzing sound, then it's likely just coil whine and is sadly very normal. Usually from GPU, sometimes PSU, sometimes happens from specific combinations of GPU/PSU/MOBO. If you crank the fans one by one without running a...
