Just got my Q-Nix 27. Very happy with it, aside with a few stuck pixels which are not very noticeable.

Got it set up and overclocked to 96hz ( can do more, but I don't get past that in most of my games ) last night, for reference I have a 7950 overclocked to 1100/1600 at stock voltage using Trixx. At desktop screen and 60hz, the video card successfully downclocks to idle speeds, 300 core and 0.806 voltage. However, if I set it to 96hz, the card goes to 500 core and full voltage raising fan speed and temps accordingly. This is a little annoying.

Does anyone know of a fix or workaround? I like 96hz, and not being able to use it 24/7 would not be terrible if there was an automatic or quick way to change back and forth for games/desktop work.
