I was looking for the 'Don't show this like fucking ever' button but ay, the QR code is more important.

Decided to rip out the original fans because one of them was rattling badly. Upon further investigation it turned out i had to remove the whole heatsink in order to pull out the fan shroud, so I thought what the heck and bought 1.5mm minus advanced for vram and phasesheet ptm for the core.

The fans are my first noctuas actually, now I understand what the cult is about. These things at 1800 rpm make some low frequency noise that doesn't bother at all. I made the curve really aggressive. 35% at 35c and 100% at 60c because these fans, compared to what I'm used to, are absolutely inaudible. (they're the g2 nf-a12x25)

In terms of temps however... bit of a fail i guess. Should've kept my expectations lower I guess. I never run the gpu at stock, its +250/+3000 and the results are;

stock fans/paste
GPU; 78.1c
VRAM; 84.0c

G2's/PTM/Minus advanced/stock vrm pads
1st run;
GPU; 80.6c
VRAM; 80.0c

2nd run;
GPU; 76.4c
VRAM; 78c

I haven't done more cycles yet but uh, I've to add that the numbers i wrote above are after i re-did the PTM, because the first application somehow ended up at 85.3c and no amount of cycles got it down. This thing is weird af ngl. At first i thought the pads were somehow making things worse because they were incorrect but... there's no way they're incorrect. When i opened the gpu after the first modification everything was pressed/spread properly. The gpu in question is Zotac 5090 Solid OC. For anyone out there looking for measurements;
VRAM 1.5mm, VRM 2.0mm, Backplate 2.5mm

//Update;

After a whole day of cycling the PTM the core now does 68c, memory is at 74c.

Zero burn in with a caveat. If i display a full white image, there's a green tint that affects like every side, its like a square going from the outside inwards. I recreated what I see with after effects so I don't have to explain it nor do I have to do sad attempts at capturing it with my phone. It's literally 1:1.

This is how I used the monitor;
Max brightness, SDR with Wide Gamut color space.
Never used manual pixel refreshing.
Uniform brightness was on at all times.
Screen move; middle
Auto logo brightness; all off
Proximity sensor; high

Windows wallpaper is black, taskbar is hidden.
The monitor basically saw 3 main things during those 7000 hours.
GTA 5, After Effects, Youtube.

I'm surprised by the fact that after effects did not burn it. I was absolutely sure i will burn it because the preview window is small and bright and the pixels around it are dark, but nope. Zero dead pixels, zero signs of burn in on any color. Whoever is thinking of buying this or the ucdm3 or just new gen oleds... go for it. If anything can burn this its definitely my workflow and I still didn't manage. Also didn't really give a damn whilst using it - meaning even though i did a black wallpaper and hid the taskbar - I never did anything else for it. I never had it at the back of my mind, working around the fact that its an oled constantly and trying to not keep static elements for long enough.

Great panel, will get the TB600 version of it once asus decides to do a v3 of this.
