You need a hardware calibration tool like Datacolor SpyderX or something else. I had the 4k display with 98% Adobe RGB and calibrate it with that tool. Wide uncalibrated garmut displays makes absolutly no sense.

I’ve tried the old “by eye” calibration which I know isn’t going to be perfect, no matter what I do the screen either ends up looking perfect until I export the files to another device and realise it was calibrated to be slightly warm with oversaturated greens (meaning the output looks more beige in areas it should be yellow/green) OR for a closer matching output the screen looks super cool and with a blue/grey tinge, my eyes adjust to this to when I export although it’s closer to true it takes a good 5-10mins for my eyes to adjust back to normal so it doesn’t look whack. 
 

It’s a shame because in games it looks stunning, it must be because I do macro photography so a lot of the subject is in super high detail with almost black backgrounds so the colours are very pronounce, with landscape I imagine the huge variety of colours mixing negates this. 
 

I’m not throwing the towel in though, I’ve found someone within a 30min drive that *might* be willing to use their Spyder, trying to bribe them with the promise of beers and/or compensation.

Hello everybody! 🖐️ Please advice 🙏

 

I do enjoy my x170km-g (11700k/3080/FHD 300hz) even in 2026 and i'm still happy with it 🥰 and In view of upcoming x170km-g maintenance and good opportunity of CPU & RAM replacement, please kindly advice:

 

1) Does it right to goes with 10900k (10850k) instead of 11700k?

(My 11700k looks nice with UV -130mv, 150w at full load @4600, with max temp 80°c, max fan for such test).

I'm talking mostly about power consumption/produced heat/4x32 RAM in XMP? (Kingston Fury Impact KF432S20IBK2/64)

2) So, does XMG bios 01.07.09RTR6 isn't suitable with 4x32 ram in XMP, instead of 01.07.09RTR7-G2?

3) Am i correct that XMP profile #2 is better than #1?

Will XMP#2 run either CPU 11gen or 10gen?
