Good video for getting through the insides of this thing. Mine went from me needing to unplug and plug it again after waking the computer (and sometimes after starting it up) to turning itself off during gaming. Replaced the power adapter but after a while it started turning itself off again. Opened it up, not much dust to speak off, the thermal paste seemed generously applied to me but I replaced it nonetheless. Managed to play for an hour or two uninterrupted but it is the middle of the night. Might get a little desk fan as someone suggested to blow at it from the bottom... pretty ridiculous stuff for $1800. The shit they don't tell you.

Just a side note: the fans that I got were very similar, but not exactly the same identical shape. Seem to work just fine, though, and they're the same brand and have the same specs. It's just that the one corner that has a sort of angled notch in it is more square on the ones I got, but it didn't seem to affect how they worked. They fit in fine with no problems, and seem to be working great!

@parhamsan

Hey, I have played around with cooling the FPGA and from my experience you cannot get away with passive cooling unless you watercool the FPGA with a water block (believe it or not, this is currently what I am doing). kzread.info/dash/bejne/iqyoz6ayd7Tdlag.htmlsi=QhETL0e7aythf389 Since there is a metal casing around the Monitor Mainboard and FPGA you just have an opening to a size of a fan, so even if you find a big heatsink you need to exhaust the hot air from the surroundings with a fan otherwise the heat is going to be trapped inside the monitor. You can give it a try but I have found with even lower RPM on the fans, the FPGA overheats and monitor turns off randomly. Good Luck with everything!

Thanks for the video. I was wondering if I could get your help on something here. I followed the exact same procedure but upon reassembly, the screen on the monitor is totally blank. The fans are running, heat is being generated, the lights are lighting up, but the screen is blank. I don’t think I broke any cables. Any idea as to what I did wrong and how I can fix it?

@@alihamzah8532 Hey, no the paste should not matter much but for best performance I would suggest using the best performance ones like the "Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut" but it seems your monitor has hardware issue. Unfortunately since I can't see you monitor I can only suggest some stuff: 1-Make sure the fans are clean from dust, blow compressed air and clean both fans. 2-Reseat the heatsink with a new thermal paste and make sure there is good contact between the FPGA chip and the heatsink. 3-When tightening the screws on the heatsink make sure to go X pattern and have them not too tight and not too lose. 4-Inspect inside the heatsink (look inside it); sometimes it gets clogged up with lots of dust, clean it. 5-Is the monitor overclocked to 144Hz or is it running at 120 or 98. Try to factory reset the setting on the monitor. 6-Try to decrease the Brightness and see if it still happens. 7-Is your room temperature too hot, mine is around 28C and with the mod the fans are running at 30-35% fixed and never had a shutdown. If you tried all of these and still have the shutdowns then unfortunately It seems that the damage on your board has already been done. By any chance is you monitor still under warranty? Maybe you can find the FPGA module on ebay. I see people selling their monitor in Canada as low as 500USD. Keep me posted and good luck!!!

Referring to point 5, 6 and 7. yes it is overclocked at 144Hz with display port. I mostly play warzone so I need the fps. I tried decreasing brightness but it didn't help. Yes my room temperature these days is too hot, in UK these days temps are soaring high and my room is very hot. now you mentioned room temperature, I noticed it never happens in winters but only in summers but the monitor of this calibre should perform in summers too, don't you think? I mean Asus didn't make this cheap so it should perform well in hot weather. Its not under warranty anymore. I called Asus in UK and they won't repair it. Even though I told them I will pay as warranty ran out, still they said they wont. Shocking lolz. Is there any way to control fan speed, I can see in your video what you have done to control fan speed but if I don't do that, is there any other way ? If its not too much to ask, can you please send me the links for the fans and fpga module? any idea how much board will cost in case it is damaged ? Regards,

@@alihamzah8532 Hi Ali, my pleasure; I would like to see you resolve the issue with shutdown as others have also sent me comments on this matter. BTW, check out my other video. kzread.info/dash/bejne/dGSDkq2uls7SZqg.html I have made a detailed video with all the required hardware to control the speed of the fans on the PG27UQ monitor with an External PWM fan controller (it should cost you less than $40 without the fans). I know that Asus PG27UQ is a terrific monitor, but with the active cooling the monitor has its own issues and the monitor should still operate in even very hot rooms!!! If you don't mind the noise on the fans, I would suggest a couple of things before buying and replacing the module to save you some money: Do 1, 2, 3, 4 steps I suggested on the previous post first (I still think your monitor should not shut down unless the FPGA reaches 100C, Also see this page (was very helpful for me): www.reddit.com/r/Monitors/comments/kp16oe/make_the_pg27uq_the_quality_monitor_it_is_meant/ 1-Change the fans first: www.ebay.com/itm/255059081488 Original fan model number is EF70151S1-C010-S9A DC12V 4.80W 4PIN (SUNON) 2-See If you do the mod to change the speed of the fans manually to lays say 50%. Unfortunately As far as I know there are no other ways to control the speed on the fans on the monitor. 3-Change the FPGA module if you think it is faulty. The problem is, there are different Rev models on the PG27UQ (manufactured on different years with different Rev levels) so buying a new FPGA module might no be compatible with your current monitor. www.ebay.com/itm/184397782296 (The FPGA Module but the price is $600 USD!!!!) This will help you find the FPGA part number pcper.com/2018/06/asus-rog-swift-pg27uq-27-4k-144hz-g-sync-monitor-true-hdr-arrives-on-the-desktop/2/ One other thing I realized is that mounting the monitor on an arm runs the monitor cooler since the original stand blocks some of the air sucked in from the middle of the monitor (to the fan that cools the FPGA). Just for testing, take out the original stand and see if the monitor shuts down or not. Or use a 5V or 12V USB fan to blow some air into the middle of the monitor. www.amazon.ca/Black-Silent-Computer-Cooling-Cooler/dp/B0192WNM9C/ref=sr_1_11?crid=1HVD0NPIE5SOL&keywords=usb+fan+pc&qid=1657664155&sprefix=usb+fan+pc%2Caps%2C65&sr=8-11 I still think there is something preventing your FPGA from cooling down properly. As I mentioned my room temperature is hot too (around 28-29C) but before and after the Thermal paste replacement and the mod I never had a single shutdown issue. The only difference after the mod is that the fans are running at lower RPM and the monitor is whisper quiet now!!! See last post on this forum (exactly your issue): forums.overclockers.co.uk/threads/asus-rog-pg27uq-fan-noise-shutdown-problem.18897809/ Good luck, I am always here to assist!!!

Thermal paste don't dry out otherwise every computer routinely needs them replaced. The only way it dries out is air gets in there. So how does air get in there? It is the cardboard shroud that funnels hot air out the bottom. You need to squish it down so it doesn't try to lift the heatsink off of the FPGA. As you know the heatsink is held down with springs and not the screws. That is why any thermal problem fixes itself when you replace the thermal paste; it is because you reseat the heatsink to the FPGA and not because of the new thermal paste. I have two PG27UQ's. One made in Japan and another from Taiwan. (The Japan version allows me to change the Reference White (nits) and the Taiwan does not btw.) The Japan heat shroud/manifold is shaped exactly rectangular whereas the Taiwan is rectangular but a bit oval. Squish it down so it doesn't rest on the connectors which applies a slight force which lifts the heatsink from the FPGA over time.
