WOWNOVA 8.8" Computer Temp Monitor (Dynamic Theme Supported), 1 Click 1 Cable to Get Started Quickly PC Temperature Display Sensor Panel IPS Mini Secondary Screen CPU RAM HDD Data FPS Monitor (Black)

I was looking for a display that can be used inside a PC case for my new build.First I bought the Phanteks 5.5" HiRes IPS display and works great but it's an extended HDMI display that act as a monitor. You can display anything on it. There is nothing wrong with an extended display, but you need to understand the behavior. Mounting it was simple, either magnetic or directly to 120mm fans.However, after some days I've found that to display temps themes on it, either from AIDA64 or Rainmeter for example, you have to develop them or get a shared one that is optimal for the display resolution. This was tedious for me and I just wanted a display that was simple to operate and that work on its own.This is where the Wownova 8.8" display shines.Connection:There is no HDMI because this is an USB display. You connect just 1 cable, either the provided USB-C or a USB header cable that goes directly to one of available motherboard USB 2.0 headers. It doesn't get easier than this.Display:I got the 8.8" version because it suits better for my PC build, but any size/resolution from same brand model works the same, just different aspect ratio. The display is high quality with IPS, colors are bright and vibrant.Software:You download the specified software which is called Turzx to manage the display. It provides 20+ bundled themes either vertical or horizontal formats for the installed orientation. With the click of a single button, the desired theme pass to the display and it starts displaying real-time temps and other data. It doesn't get easier than this. The software also has a section to develop your custom theme and it's very simple unlike Rainmeter or AIDA64. The software is also free.Mounting:Mounting it was also simple, the included brackets allows you to hook it up to 120mm fans or any sized fans with 1 bracket. I installed with 1 bracket (in the middle) to one of my top 140mm fans with a radiator screw. It just takes a few minutes to do everything. You may spend more time deciding which theme to use from the software rather than installing the display to your PC build.Of course, because this is a "closed" USB display, software like AIDA64 or Rainmeter doesn't work with it. You need to use the Turzx software or any other collaboration software that works with this type of display. For me, the simplicity to display a fully working theme on it is worth more than the "DIY" method of using an extended type HDMI display.Highly recommended.

The media could not be loaded. Worth every single penny. At first I was skeptical knowing that I may not have enough headroom with having the radiator and the exhaust fans up top. Turns out, I was right. HOWEVER the fix wasn’t hard either. I just had to move the radiator to the right side along with the intake fans (honestly way better option when it comes to cooling the cpu imo since I’m inviting cool air to the radiator instead of blowing warm air had I stayed with mounting it up top. ANYWAY. Just look at how aesthetically pleasing this is!! The screen is bright enough that it doesn’t get overpowered with all of my ten rgb fans!! What is also very convenient about this is how the connection gives you an option for a usb plug directly to your mobo. It’s a nice advantage as I don’t have to add any additional wires to my already frustrating cable management in the back. Software is a little tedious with instructions that took me a minute to figure out so instead I downloaded the Turzx app and it works the same. The presets could be customized like the way I did with the backgrounds. Finally, the build could be a little slimmer in my opinion. I find it a little thick for my liking but as long as it robust (which it is) I’m good!

This thing was good for 4 months then diedSoftware is a little funky but not terrible to use, installed easy but after 4 months the screen just went to crap and wont work anymore.Never moved the PC around always been in the same sport and did regular cleaning, not even a big gamer anymore so I haven't even used it as much. Can't say it's worth the money if it only lasts 4 months. Do not purchase

The media could not be loaded. This thing is absolutely beautiful and can take your build to the next level. My dual CPU, 64 core 128 thread miner build I named Hulk, needed that extra aesthetic touch and this display was perfect. It's for my YouTube channel so I needed it to look crazy and this thing definitely looks amazing on the build. If you want to check it our in action my channel is CRZY CYBRThe moment important thing about this particular display, however, is not how it looks. It's the fact that it does require the God awful Aida64 software/spyware/bloateare to use the themes that are basically the entire reason you buy something like this. The themes are absolutelty beautiful, they load up with no issues, and custom themes are easy to find and install.In addition to that, you can use it as a secondary monitor, a feature I will be using to monitor my mining software at a glance in between themes. Im going to write a program that will have it display a theme for a set amount of time, and then go to my mining software output.I really cant recommend this one enough. I have bought 9 different displays like this trying to find the right one for my builds, and compared to this one, they were all trash. This is the one to buy 100%I promise you after going through 9 different displays, if you dont get this one, you WILL regret it.
