    @@Tuskabanana Hey, if you Vesa mount the monitor, the fan that cools the FPGA, can such more air and cool the FPGA better but make sure to use some sort of standoffs like the ones I used. However when you Vesa mount it, you can hear the fans a bit more (if the fans are connected to the FPGA Mainboard). What I suggest is: if you buy the monitor used, and you Vesa mounted the monitor and if the fans are loud and noisy, change the thermal paste (see my other video for instructions on how to do it). kzread.info/dash/bejne/aZdqyrhudJTWes4.htmlsi=NFOZGWZu7cBbkTys I always used the monitor on Vesa mount. There is also the option to use the external fan controller like the one I used to manually adjust the PWM of the fans and make them quieter. So as you can see there are cons and pros of Vesa mounting the monitor, but overall it would be Quieter with the monitor on Vesa mount. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Before I decided to open and mod the monitor, I cleaned the fans a couple of times and the noise from the fans got better for a short period of time, but as time passed the noise came back. The noise was not too annoying but the fact that the RPM was going high and low constantly was really bugging me, that's why I decided to give the mod a try.

    Hey mate, I have a PG65UQ as my main daily display and Ive been struggling to bare its constant 100% fanspeed... I never use HDR or GSYNC and im guessing these modules are causing heat that made ASUS install a fan... as I never use these features.. would it be possible to just unhook the fan or atleast modify the fanspeed somehow?

    Жыл бұрын

    Hey, as I don't have that specific monitor (PG65UQ) I would not know how to change the speed of the fans without the external modification. What I can tell you from my experience is that if I completely disconnect the fan headers form the MB (or set the RPM of the fans to the lowest value) the monitor would shutdown after a couple of second so I would not recommend unhooking the fans and turning them off completely. Even if you are not using the monitor in HDR mode or not gaming on it, you would still need to cool down the GSYN module because the module is still drawing some current. I realized that using the monitor in HDR mode generates more heat and the temp sensors show higher temp resulting in fans making more noise (obviously this was before my modification). If you could open the back shell of the monitor and inspect the GSYNC module location and the fan configuration I would be glad to help you to reduce the fan speed. If you don't want to do the MOD, I would highly suggest cleaning the fans and REPASTING the heatsink to the GSYNC module. Good luck with everything, I'm always here to help!!!

    Hey, if your monitor has a black screen after a power surge, you might have monitor with damaged main controller. If you have already disconnected the monitor from power or power cycled the monitor and still getting a black screen the issue is probably related to the power controller and the mainboard. You should be able to take the shell of and measure voltage on the PCB with the multimeter, that's what I suggest to diagnose the issue. Just go very slow with a shim or something to pry open the back; I know the first time I was opening the back shell was scary!!!

Fan 1 35% | LOW 50 | HIGH 70 Fan 2 30% | LOW 50 | HIGH 70 Also, some noob tips. 1. Buy extra cables in case you break them. Failed wire strips, pulled too hard, which yanked the header, etc. 2. Use a lighter to strip thin wires. I've ruined cables trying to strip it with a plier.

    Hey, you are correct there is a PWM header and controller on the Monitor itself, however without the external PWM controller you won't be able to control the speed of the fans (there is no option in the ASUS monitor to control the speed of the fans). As you may already know, with using the internal PWM controller on the monitor the fans run at a very high RPM causing a very loud noise. With this mod you can reduce the noise on the monitor. I have been using the external fan controller for over a year now and never needed to run them more than 40% most of the times.

    Hey, no unfortunately once the high temp limit is set, the fan will run at 100% of its capacity so full load (rated current). I do not suggest using any other fan than the ones used on the monitor, if you draw too much current it might damage the main board on the monitor. You can probably limit the drawn current with a resistor but again I don't recommend it. Similar to a low noise pwm adaptors used on the Noctua and other fans.

May I know the tachometer model number? If it is a digital one, then keep in mind that the external PWM controller (that I am using in this mod) is getting its power from the ASUS monitor MB so the tachometer will draw some additional current from the monitor MB and it could cause overload to the board and damage the MB PCB on the monitor. It might be ok; if you are a teksavvy person you can measure the current that is drawn from the ASUS PCB (with a multimeter) with and without the tachometer and see the difference. I highly recommend not to do this unless you know what you are doing. If the difference in current drawn with and without the tachometer are minimal then it should be ok. Do this at your own risk and please don't blame me if something happens to the PCB!!!

    Hey Mike, as you may saw on the video I bought extra fans thinking that the new fans would have lower noise, but that wasnt the case. For me cleaning the fans and the heatsink lowered the fan noise and lowered the temps (beside the mod obviusly). I would say the fans are 100% maintainable and heavy duty. I have the monitor for more than 4 years and still using the original fans. Is the monitor shutting down or are the fans making a loud noise, just wanted to know the reason you want to do the mod? Also Which metal mounting shroud you are talking about, the one for the fpga?

I didn't think anything of it, and after a month of no gaming time, I finally turned it on, only it didn't come on at all. I unplugged everything, replugged it into the wall directly, and the monitor started up and I was relieved. Only it automatically shut off a couple of minutes later. That's all it does now, when I turn it on, it automatically shuts down after a short period of about a minute or two. When I got the stand off the back and opened it up, the main fan is almost completely dead. It doesn't turn on its own, and it's caked with old dust. The other fan (toward the top) spins freely but I never saw it come on while testing them. I really just need to replace those fans, but I can't find my original purchase receipt (but I know it's not still in warranty, I've had it about 3 years). I can't even remember where I bought it from, which website. The fans are mounted in an aluminum "shroud". I'll have to find a way to get them out of there. The top one looks easy enough; I can see those screws. I'm assuming it will come right off. The other one (the main fan) just has those rivets showing. It doesn't look so easy to get to so I can remove it.

And the reason the monitor shuts off after sometime is because the FPGA in overheating and shutting down the whole monitor. If you fast forward to the 8:00th minute (on the video that i shared) you can see how to open and access the heatsink. Again fast forward to the 12:00th minute and at exactly 12:36th minute you can see that the second fan is only held by 2 screws (top right and bottom left) and a piece of tape.

I would order 2 and replace both if I were you. Also you can use and electrical tape or Aluminum tape to replace the tape. Just get the correct width. What I would do first is to swap the fan wires on the PCB to make sure it is a dead fan and not a bad fan header or electrical issue. If the good fan spins and you see the same behaviour (bad fan doesn't spin), then you are in luck. Just order the fan from Ebay or Aliexpress, change the bad fan on the FPGA heatsink and you should be good to go (obviously you need to by the tape or reuse the old one). Since you already opened the back shell you are half a way there. what I also suggest is to change the thermal paste while you change the FPGA fan.

    Hey Alex, change both (fans) constant rpm to something higher like 35 or 40. Also decrease the lower and higher limits so the fans ramp up on a lower temperature.I found mine to work with 30% fixed and the low to 70 and high to 90. I have been playing around and found these values works the best on my monitor for lowest noise. If you monitor turns off then the fpga is overheating. If it still turns off increase the fixed rpm % for the fan that cools the fpga (fan 1 in my case) to something higher. Another thing to check is when the pwm board toggles what are the temperatures, are the probe temperatures make sense. I ended up mounting the pwm board outside my monitor to be able to control the speed when the monotor cover is assembled. www.amazon.ca/clouddrive/share/aZRCiUvW3iFqRY4rQq9hr926ao27CMQrYIPTXjt2Wdr This is a video that I shared with another user. Let me know if increasing the rpm doesn't solve your issue.

    @@alexhutto4829 Cool, since you opened the monitor make sure the fans and the heatsink are free of dust and cleaned; another recommendation would be to clean the thermal paste and reapply it with a new descent thermal paste if you are up fot it. I will be posting another video on how to do that soon, good luck with erything. It definitely seems that your fpga is overheating. I have a very warm room but even with fixed rpm of 30% I have not experienced a monitor shutdown so you might wanna consider changing the thermal paste.

    @@parhamsan Thank you, my room also gets warm. So just to make sure it runs cooler I will most likely change the thermal past. I have FPGA fan fixed set to 40, low to 60 and H to 99. The top fan is silent now and the fpga fan is also a lot quiter. Super happy with the results. Will do thermal past later. Fun project.

    Mine loses signal for both DisplayPort and HDMI randomly. I’ll turn on my PC and it will lose signal like a few minutes later sometimes it will work for a few hours but then the same thing happens, same issue with HDMI with my Xbox. Unplugging then replugging any of the cords sometimes fixes it but only temporary. Any idea what the issue would be ?

    Hey, it seems that your monitor is either overheating or you have a faulty main board. Have you ever opened the monitor to see if the fans are free of dust, I also recommend changing the thermal paste on the FPGA if your monitor is 2 years or older? I would first blow air to clean the fans and also inspect inside the heatsink (see my other video if you are interested). Good luck with everything. Keep me posted.

    @@parhamsan I’m opening it now and yeah there is some dust which I’ll clean, but don’t think the issue is overheating because it will lose signal only a few minutes after I turn it on before the fans even ramp up. Some days though I’ll be able to play for hours before anything happens. I’ll see if the cleaning helps but if it’s indeed the main board what should I do then? It’s not under warranty anymore I’ve had it for 4 years

    @@VerticalStrafes The only reason I believe it could be a faulty board is from other users reporting they face shut downs when the fpga heats up. In your case it seems it is losing signal which I have never heard before from anyone. My only suggestion is to do the cleaning on the fans, clean inside the heatsink (make sure to inspect inside the heatsink where the black shroud is, a lot of people have mentioned it getts clogged up with dust and other stuff), and finaly change the thermal paste on the fpga as mine was solid as a rock after 2 years. I really hope you can fix the monitor as replacing a 2k monitor would suck!!! Good luck again, I'm always here to help.

    Hey, I don't think that is possible. The lowest fixed value you can set on each channel is 10% (of max RPM) which will still force the fans to spin. The only time I see the fans stop is when the monitor goes to sleep mode and the power to the board is cut off.

Changing the thermal paste definitely helps the fan noise. I have made another video that shows the process of changing the thermal paste!

    Hey, sorry for the late reply. I agree with you; I guess at the time when the monitor was released the active cooling was the only way to cool the FPGA module. But picking a cheap fan with jet noise and not being able to control the fan speed was a bad choice from ASUS!!! Since making the fans silent (by lowering the RPM of the fans), I have never seen an issue on the monitor, so the high RPM on the fans was really unnecessary from ASUS!!!
