Can anyone tell me how I can get Arctis 3 console headphones mic to work with this motherboard? I can only get sound currently. I also need an extension cord bcuz the cord that comes with it is too short. Arctis has some proprietary accessory items, but I’m not sure if that is what I need or if...

Viewsonic has advised me this is abnormal and it should be returned. I hope the replacement does not have similar issues. Thanks all.

It’s mainly noticeable doing things where the screen is bright or dark and not moving vs. in game. Was curious if this was normal or if the screen shouldn’t be exhibiting obvious areas of non-uniform backlight. If it was slight shading light or dark to the side or corners that would be one thing...

So are there any other ‘very cheap’ $300 monitors that have a better reputation and that I may have better luck with? By the way, it’s not ‘very’ overexposed. Those patterns are very clear to the naked eye. I made no adjustments to the photo. I agree I am worried a replacement would exhibit a...

Can anything be done in settings, or is $300 just gonna get me this cheap junk?

The attached photo has lighter areas towards the sides. It seems symmetrical. Is it normal to have these parentheses looking areas? Or does this have to go back? It’s a Viewsonic XG2702.

Gaming headphones with mic work fine through Xbox and front and back of PC. However, when plugged into the jack on the XG2702 monitor, I cannot get mic functionality. Tried with Displayport alone and DisplayPort with USB, neither worked. Viewsonic advertises this as gaming monitor, so assumed...

Found a standoff that fit and the hard drive was recognized. Thanks.

The manual is horrible. The M2 I have is an 80, and the other slot on the mobo is for a 110. The standoff in the 110 slot simply cannot be removed regardless of effort and placed in the 80 position, though it looks like there is a spot for it. Simply inexplicable. Hence there is no way to secure...

Then I’d eat the cost of the current drive, which I’m not going to do. If this board won’t take that drive, though everything says it’s compatible, I’m returning it. I’d rather take it apart and move the M2 than shell out more money. I’ll try that, and if that fails I’ll return the board for a...

So I need to take it all apart. Great. Thanks. Does the empty 4 pin connector mean anything?

It’s compatible. Where do I assign ports in the BIOS? I’ve found nothing like that. This BIOS seems to offer nothing useful. Any BIOS suggestions I’ve seen online, this BIOS doesn’t have any of those options.

I built a PC and the Gigabyte X470 Aorus motherboard is not recognizing the WD Blue 3D NAND 500GB Internal SSD - SATA III 6Gb/s M.2 2280 Solid State Drive - WDS500G2B0B. It’s in the M2B slot. The PSU is short a 4 pin connector for the ATX_12V1. Does it matter? Would that have anything to do with...

I ended up getting the ASUS ROG GeForce RTX 2070 DirectX 12 ROG-STRIX-RTX2070-O8G-GAMING 8GB 256-Bit GDDR6 PCI Express 3.0 HDCP Ready Video Card for $500. This is probably the wrong place to ask, but I built the PC and the Gigabyte X470 Aorus motherboard is not recognizing the WD Blue 3D NAND...
