Raven1606688515 Posted August 2, 2018 Posted August 2, 2018 I just got my new Alienware Monitor AW3418DW today. Hooked it up with DP cable. Going thru the setup on the monitor I cannot set Over Clocking to 120Hz. It will not even allow me to turn it on in order to set OC to 120Hz. When it tells me to reboot. It will not let me click YES or NO to OC. Gone in Windows display and set to 100Hz. 3D setting in CP, set to Gysc. I don't know what else to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated. By the way running dual 1080Ti water cooled graphic cards.

StandingCow Posted August 2, 2018 Posted August 2, 2018 You have to enable overclocking in the monitor main menu, on the monitor itself. 5900X - 32 GB 3600 RAM - 1080TI My Twitch Channel ~Moo

StandingCow Posted August 2, 2018 Posted August 2, 2018 So you aren't getting any image at the default clockspeed from your GPU? No video at all? You install the drivers from the website? https://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/product-support/product/alienware-34-monitor-aw3418dw/drivers 5900X - 32 GB 3600 RAM - 1080TI My Twitch Channel ~Moo
Raven1606688515 Posted August 2, 2018 Author Posted August 2, 2018 Yes, I get images. Monitor will not allow me to turn ON OC. When I turn it on, then a screen comes up "Select Yes to reboot" If no image is displayed , disconnect the DP cable, press UP key and select No to disable overclock. It will not allow me to select Yes or No. I'm at a loss here. Yes, I do have the newest drivers.

I didn't have that issue and I have the same monitor. 5900X - 32 GB 3600 RAM - 1080TI My Twitch Channel ~Moo
Raven1606688515 Posted August 2, 2018 Author Posted August 2, 2018 RESOLVED: I'm just a dumb___!!!!! Was trying to click Yes or No with my mouse, instead of moving with arrows on the monitor. Yep, I'm a IDOIT!!!!
