Have you tried enabled DLSR or dynamic resolutions for it? Might work and look better .... who knows

For the 32" is it a monitor setting or windows?
Here’s a pic maybe you can see how pixelated the 32” screen is

Pretty ridiculous packaging was kinda going back and forth between these and the Noctua NF-A12x25 Cromax... They will replace all my QL as case fans that I will be using for a different project in a couple months.

Very solid monitor it's a LG Nano IPS display decently fast response times for it's class and at that price it's pretty damn good... Definitely a step up from that asus monitor you were looking at.

Not sure if you understood what I meant your Dell uses an LG panel that's pretty solid.

It's one of the better pure gaming panels you definitely should like it.

It's an nVidia control panel setting. Manage 3D Settings -> Global Settings -> DSR Factors. Could then set it for some games as a resolution in their respective display/graphics settings.

Oh and that monitor is very similarly specc'd to my Giga monitor

I didn't realise vardars are pretty loud, shame as they look pretty good. I don't have the LL's on max rpm they are set with a ramp in the bios.
I have some vardars, they dont seem loud to me

At super low RPM's noctua or silent wings are harder to hear, but any background noise at all drowns out the vardars at the speeds i'm running them (~1200 RPM)

Somebody's always gotta go get complicated. :p In my brief foray into coffee (back with tea now), I did this:

Worked as well as any other method, IMO, and the most complicated part component was an electric kettle.

EDIT: I thought of better wording

This is my declaration and a proof that I am a mature and an experienced buyer, loaded with skills, even when buying from eBay at 2022.
Any sellers think to take advantage of electronics shortage, as an excuse about pricing inflation of used parts, they will be constantly at a loss for them.

they don't care if they have a loss, the government bailed them out with PPP loans they don't have to pay back. god forbid we bailout people who like to read books at university though

should be fine, but those fans look super ******* cheap. again they probably don't care because it cools just as good or close enough to say Noctua's or something that it doesn't matter if you use super cheap plastic. but still its always bugged me, i mean as much as we pay for gpu's even before covid, like i mean just add on an extra $50 to the price and give some really proper fans.
