    Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 57" 7680x2160 super ultrawide (mini-LED)

    I run almost exclusively without fast boot due to compatibility limitations with a software backup utility. But my experience and Dan_D are slightly different. Unless I get my monitor active before BIOS starts to display the normal boot details, it is black until windows takes control. I...

    Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 57" 7680x2160 super ultrawide (mini-LED)

    Maybe you should just avoid this monitor. You are very concerned about very specific issues that none of us can really answer with 100% certainty. To me the problem seems to originate with the somewhat complex interaction that goes on between the motherboard bios, the video card(s) bios, and...

    Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 57" 7680x2160 super ultrawide (mini-LED)

    I'll respond as best I can to your questions. I do not run Windows 11 and my hardware is different. So your experience could differ. Based on my experience with Windows 10, as soon as windows initializes the video driver the system works as you would normally expect. The primary difference...

    Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 57" 7680x2160 super ultrawide (mini-LED)

    Unless you are trying to enter BIOS or boot to a different OS, it is really not a major issue. The screen just stays black until you get to the Windows login prompt and then functions normally. You do not have to doing anything special unless you are going into BIOS or making a boot selection...

    Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 57" 7680x2160 super ultrawide (mini-LED)

    For me this primarily occurs (only?) during a reboot or cold boot. Resuming from sleep works normally. But with cold boots and reboots, the monitor will detect a loss of signal and turn off after about 5 seconds. As Dan_D stated, hitting the menu button wakes the monitor and will get a...

    Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 57" 7680x2160 super ultrawide (mini-LED)

    Approximately 32" wide x 16" deep I do not actually used the stand, but... The mount pivot on the stand is approximately 14.5" from the surface of the desk and the monitor mount point is approximately 8". So, maybe around 6.5". For reference, I use one of the desk mounted monitor arms and...

    Be Quiet Straight Power 15000 or Corsair HX1500i (2023)?

    On the 1500i, there are multiple Corsair part numbers for that series. Some do not include the new 12+4 PCIe power cable. I have 2, very good unit.

    Based on the diagram, the 16 processor pcie lanes can be divided for different uses (like NVMe). But that motherboard uses all 16 for the x16 pcie slot. So, everything runs through the chipset. That was the point I was trying to make. Basically, everything you will be using is sharing the...

    Also, it looks like that motherboard has a full electrical 1x16 slot. So that means any NVMe drive that you might be using is going to be connected thru the chipset.

    Ahh... That was just a one of their examples screenshots, not my system. The "one row" comment threw me off. Just wanted to make sure we were talking about the same thing. Here's a generic block diagram for the Z490 chipset. All USB ports are attached to the Chipset. None directly...

    Weird. Never seen one like this. Maybe an Intel xhci side effect. Not sure I trust the details, but it says one controller which would imply shared bandwidth. Very hard to believe they are all on the same controller...

    What motherboard do you have? You should see something like this:

    In that case, try USBTreeView from https://www.uwe-sieber.de/usbtreeview_e.html It should show you a tree with your different ports. You may have to move a device to different ports to see whats attached to what.

    You may want to research your hardware further. Bandwidth for non-processor attached USB ports will likely be shared at the hub / chipset level. At the processor level, I'm not sure. They are probably independent, but you would have to check the processor specification to be sure. At the...

    Great. I hope it works out for you. My experience with USB is that there is still a certain amount of issues that cause devices to disconnect at times or take other measures to resolve. I experience 1 or 2 per month with various devices. It's a personal preference / bias on my part. If it...
