Hi, the monitor in this video is not the smart monitor version and does not come with a remote.

That is a great question. I haven’t had any issues with oled burn in so far. I will soon prepare a separate video on what I do to prevent that issue. Stay tuned!

Glad it was helpful!

If you install two ram sticks instead of four, do you still experience the same issue with the RAM speed? Have you checked your RAM for issues using MemTest86 as shown here kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKTbl2VrjKyogM0 ?

@@JoeAlisando When i tested it with 2 ram sticks, I was getting 5200hertz with out XMP as that wouldn't boot when i turned it on either in bios, if i remember correctly i could never reach 6400hertz

Thank you for the answer. If MemTest86 does not show any issues with the RAM sticks, I would update the BIOS. For more information on updating the BIOS, see the following video kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHOYpXl8l52Zr9E .

Under normal circumstances, the filters do not need to be taken out of the machine during startup.

Hi, thank you for the question. The first wash is not going to produce water. It fills your filters with water as they come pretty much empty. Make sure to let the first wash run all the way through even if there is no water coming out. It may seem like the machine stopped but let it keep going. Once the first wash is complete, discard the water from the reservoir and add fresh water. The second wash should have water coming out. See the video at 9:50 for an example of the first second and third washes.

Thank you for the kind words. Glad you liked it.

That is very strange. For me the cover came off pretty easily. Did you make sure to press the release button before trying to remove the cover. If so, I would recommend contacting the manufacturer to see if they can help.

Hi Adrian, thank you for the question. Which cable are you using to connect the monitor to your PC? Did the cable come in the box with the monitor or did you get it through a third party? If you got it through a third party can you please share the manufacturer and other details so I can look it up?

The order of updating bios vs drivers does not matter. For a new build, I update the bios if needed, then install windows and then install the drivers. The default window drivers can also work so the driver updates from msi are optional. You can download the drivers from the msi website one at a time and install as needed.

Thank you for the questions. See below for a list of answers to each question. 1. The display always powers off correctly for me, and the red LED light turns on when the display is powered off. Also, in regard to the power off button from the menu, for me it always turns off the display after which the red LED light turns on automatically. 2. The blinking red LED means the monitor is still on but there is no source signal. For example, when you turn off the PC the source signal goes away so the display turns black with the red light blinking. If you were to turn your PC back on, the signal returns and the monitor will automatically receive the signal without you needing to press the physical power button to turn it on. 3. Not sure if it will help but I also have the automatic turn off display option selected under Menu -> System -> Off Timer Plus -> Off Timer -> On. I have it set so the display turns off in 1 hour if it does not receive a signal.

@@JoeAlisando What's your firmware version?

The software version I have installed is M-C9349GGAA-1004.0

@@JoeAlisando Same version. Yesterday, coincidentally, for the first time, the monitor refused to switch off. Held down the menu button like 4 times and each time the menu kept coming up. Had to unplug the power cord. First time I have encountered a monitor that is such a hassle to power off. Maybe it is becoming sentient. 😄 There is a newer firmware version; 1006 but I read users having problems with intermittent black screens occuring on that version. Although there is a way to downgrade the firmware by renaming the firmware file with a higher number tricking the monitor that it is installing a newer version. So there's that piece of mind if I feel like updating.

I am sorry to hear you are having so many issues with your monitor. The issues may be a hardware related. Have you tried contacting Samsung customer support? How long have you owned the monitor?

Thank you for sharing. When you use an HDMI cable through the HDMI1 port does the display work?

How do you turn that on?

Can you provide some more detail on the problem you are experiencing (i.e. what happens when you experience the issue)? Also, can you provide more detail on the components of your build? Which BIOS version do you have installed? Which slots do you have your ram installed in? Please see the following video for instructions on how to diagnose if there are any issues with the RAM hardware. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKTbl2VrjKyogM0

@@JoeAlisando sorry I meant to say does this board allow ddr5 2x48 96gb 6400mt/s cl32 or will it not run

@SilentWhLsper it should work. Also make sure to activate XMP in the BIOS so the RAM overclocks to the max speed. For more details on the board specs, visit the msi website. www.msi.com/Motherboard/MEG-Z790-ACE-MAX/Specification

Thank you for the kind words. The button for accessing the monitor menu is in the back of the monitor. Please see the following video which shows the location of the button and much more about this monitor. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bp3EqImgncp2oZY

Hi BMAR92, the monitor supports HDR10+. You can turn it on and off as shown in the following video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmm2gmiAnpKaj6M Please see the following link for the full specifications of the monitor. www.samsung.com/ca/monitors/gaming/odyssey-oled-g9-g93sc-49-inch-240hz-curved-dual-qhd-ls49cg932snxza/

@@JoeAlisandothanks for letting me know. Regarding your video link, it not showing anything specific about what type of HDR supports or how to enable HDR from the monitor menu, also g sync from nvidia control panel. It will be nice to have a video about all this information as well, more details about menu and what monitor offers. I can’t find anywhere videos about it. For example, in this video you are not showing anything specific about HDR in menu. Is just fast forward.

Thank you for the feedback. I will work on putting a video together that goes in more depth regarding those topics.

Be careful about keeping discord open for too long, close the window when you're not using it, you may suffer burn in

have been using this monitor for roughly 9 months now with some pretty disgusting screen time between work and gaming anywhere from 9 to 13 hours some days. Still no signs of burn in for mine. YMMV though ofc. I suggest grabbing wallpaper engine from steam and setting it to screen save after X time as well as having windows sleep after a half hour to hour.

Make sure your cables are compatible. If you are using the cables that came with the monitor and you still can’t get 240 Hz refresh rate it may be that your graphics card needs to be upgraded.

Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video. The graphics card I have is MSI Suprim GeForce RTX 4090. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHbUm52rm7GEabs

I am sorry to hear you are having issues with the M2_1 cover removal. When removing the cover for the M2_1 slot, I didn’t think it took too much effort. Make sure to fully depress the side button on the left before pushing the cover up.

Thank you for the questions. You do not need the older cpu to use the board. I would recommend buying the 14900k, assembling your PC, using a different PC to download the latest BIOS update, updating your BIOS to the latest version and then installing windows. If you want to activate XMP, you will need to do so in the BIOS as shown in the following video. MSI MEG Z790 ACE MAX Fixing Incorrect RAM Speed kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqizgKugp5KVkLM

@@JoeAlisando You're goated thank youu!!

To boot up and get the bios update installed for the mb to accept the 14900k

Thank you for the question. You do not need another cpu to use the board. I would recommend buying the 14900k directly, assembling your PC, using a different PC to download the latest BIOS update, updating your BIOS to the latest version and then installing windows. That is what I did the first time around before doing any subsequent bios updates. I hope this helps.

@@JoeAlisando THANK YOUU! You're goated

I would recommend to only use the BIOS for your motherboard. Z790 Ace and Z790 Ace Max are two different motherboards, so I would not mix the bios between the two.

For more in depth instructions on how to install and remove the graphics card, please see the following video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3_CgYSkmZuAo80

XMP profile is enabled. Please see video at 1:17 for XMP configuration in the bios.

And not 59.8?

Please try updating to the latest BIOS version. The following video goes over how to update the BIOS. BIOS Update for MSI MEG Z790 ACE MAX Motherboard kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHOYpXl8l52Zr9E

@@JoeAlisando gonna try it m8 thx a lot have a great day best regards and much love from Türkiye 🇹🇷❤️

Thank you again. Most of the settings should work on the i9-13900K as well. The only difference that I can think of is that you may need to select a different setting for CPU Lite Load.

Thank you for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you for the comment. I will be making another video focusing on undervolting and the challenges associated with the i9-14900k.

Hi fahad5940, I am sorry you are having issues with the m.2 cover. Please see the following video for instructions on removing and installing the cover: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYfYdqqii6qbg5o . If you are still having trouble, can you please provide specific details on what kind of trouble you are experiencing?

Hi fahad5940, can you please provide some more details on what specific trouble you are experiencing?

Hi tankspl7, good question. The only difference between the G95SC and G93SC is the smart screen feature. G95SC can act both as a monitor and a smart screen which allows you to directly connect to apps like Netflix, Hulu, etc. without a computer. The G93SC does not have the smart features. G93SC is good enough for me because I do have it hooked up to a computer all the time and can connect to apps via my browser.

@@JoeAlisando I just checked with Samsung support and one other difference is that G95SC is N-sync compatible whereas the G93SC is not. Just ordered the G95SC from Amazon as they had it on sale for $1,199.

Thank you for adding this point. G93SC comes with adaptive sync which can be activated as shown in the video at 7:13. According to NVIDIA, G93SC should be G-Sync compatible. Please see the following link for more information: www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/products/g-sync-monitors/specs/. Also, according to the Samsung website, the specs on G93SC show that it is compatible with FreeSync Premium Pro. See the following link for more information: www.samsung.com/my/monitors/gaming/odyssey-oled-g9-g93sc-49-inch-240hz-curved-dual-qhd-ls49cg934sexxs/#specs. I hope you enjoy your new screen. The G93SC has been great for me so far.

@@tankspl7 G93SC is Nsync support. Nvidia has it on their website also I can enable Gsync on my 4090.

Thank you for the question. If you update via M-Flash in the BIOS (the normal way), you don't have to rename anything. Just extract the BIOS ZIP file to USB (NTFS or FAT32 formatted). Renaming to MSI.ROM is only necessary if you want to update via the Flash BIOS Button, and this is done when normal updating via M-Flash would not work.

Glad it helped!

Hi, thank you for the question. Yes the monitor is gsync compatible. For this monitor Adaptive-sync under the Game menu is the same as gsync. Please see the video at 7:13 for more information on adaptive-sync.

Glad you enjoyed the video. Have fun with the new build!

No worries. You do not need windows to update your BIOS. In fact, I would recommend updating the BIOS before installing windows. To do this, first download the BIOS and install it on a USB drive using a different computer (not your new build) as described in the video. Second, turn on your newly built PC and enter the BIOS (note: windows is not needed to enter the BIOS). Third, check that the CPU temperatures are reasonable and are not rising over time. Fourth, check that all the RAM sticks you installed are showing up. Fifth, make sure all your storage devices are showing up. Sixth, if everything looks good, install the BIOS as described in the video. When the BIOS installation starts, it is very important not to turn off the PC even if you get a black screen. Be patient and wait until the BIOS screen shows up again. If the BIOS version hasn’t changed keep waiting as it may need to restart several times to install the BIOS. Once you see the new BIOS version show up, you are done. I hope this helps.

@JoeAlisando thank you, appreciate the info and steps, much appreciated. Need all the info we can get. I'm building 2 pc. Mines is gonna be msi Meg ace max with all meg parts well mostly other than the i9 14900k cpu, trident z5 rgb 8400mhz 48gb ram, and 4090 suprim liquid cooled x. My son's is the ace with random stuff he picked out lol trying Look for the 4tb msi spatium m570 pro pcie5.0 never m.2 frozen but it's nowwhere to be found. It's getting built slowly but surely. Just the pieces is the hard part to get.

That is a good question. I guess it depends if you want to upgrade the system in the future. For example, I wanted to get a power supply with a larger wattage rating in case I needed it for future system upgrades. You are correct that less power can still work for the current build. Also, there are online calculators that can help you decide on the power requirements for your PSU.

Hi hanzberger8751, thank you for the question. I would first populate the M.2 slots that are connected directly to the CPU. If you go to the manufacturers website and look at the specifications for the motherboard, it will tell you which slots are connected to the CPU directly. For the Z790 ACE MAX those two slots are M.2_1 and M.2_4. Also if you are getting a gen5 M.2, install it in slot M.2_4, and put your operating system on that one since it will be faster. I will go over the topic in a separate video.

Yes, the card is running great. I am very happy with it. I will have a separate video on its performance soon.

Thank you for the comment. This is a topic of a lot of debate. My understanding is that you do not want to have air trapped in the pump. It is ok to have air trapped in the radiator. I will make a separate video to go over this topic.
