Yeah I’ve kept the ECO mode switch on full time and I have no complaints.

FYI, SF is a large OEM that produces power supplies for other brands that's don't manufacturer their own. Notably many of EVGA's top units. Corsair produces nothing of their own either. SF is a go-to because they are known to make a quality unit...

AMD mandated this feature to be on all AM5 motherboards and to my knowledge, it is, with a single exception. Asrock's B650E PG-ITX WiFi somehow got away without it.

There is the short and lazy way, which involves simply enabling PBO and setting a -30 all core offset under Curve Optimizer and just going about your business / gaming. If you have random idle lockups and game crashes, back it down to -25, then -20, etc.. until stable. The long and correct way...

Did you build your PC and install Windows yourself?

That's likely exactly why the OP created this thread. Also there is no sense in simply wondering about things, these days you look things up. https://www.tomshardware.com/software/windows/windows-11-24h2-will-enable-bitlocker-encryption-for-everyone-happens-on-both-clean-installs-and-reinstalls

No, but I use the Home variants of Windows at home so its never been an option.

Join us, its wonderful over here. Ha, yeah I love this game, the story, the gameplay, the weapons, the environments, the gunplay... everything except actually playing it myself. I dropped it cold turkey in Season of the Splicer after I was asked to do another strike i've run 1000 times. Not...

That nano-textured glass looked, sorry to say, but pretty bad at least in MKBHD's video. He even said it takes away from the "OLED'ness" and at least in video, I tend to agree. I like my OLED glossy. But, really depends on your use case and environment, I suppose.

No fan adjustment you make is going to fix the core/hotspot delta issue you have.

The case is bad, that's clear, but you're still getting a 20+c delta between core and hotspot, nearly 25c. That's a problem you're not going to solve with more cooling.

Linked to the timestamp where Marques talks about these two options and shows some video of both after his hands on today. TBH it looks awful. Ruins the whole point of OLED. https://youtu.be/-T0MGehwWvE?t=356

There is an unfortunate disconnect between the real world and numbers reviewers spit out.

Maybe not, but this makes it sound like you’re getting a subpar HDR experience. People say this all the time about my C2, meanwhile the damn thing makes me squint at bright elements in HDR content. I’m just not onboard with that argument.
