Thank you for sharing this valuable content. I quite like the software myself. 

well if i could figure it out id like to use it can never get the osd to show up on monitor

i dont mean to be negative but its just giving me a hard time so i set my gpu color and thats it and use msi afterburner and it works great. and i have a new nzxt 710i case on the way which comes with a fan hub and ill be using the nzxt cam.

I can’t get the newest version (1.1.1 or something) to save and recall the overclock parameters. I can run the scan, get great numbers, save them, and it totally forgets them never to be recalled again. No idea why. Just waiting on a new version now to get basic functionality.
 
Also, I upgraded to the new version that was to fix fan issues with the nvidia driver before I updated the nvidia driver. That actually broke fan 3 speed control until I updated the driver. Code that is conditional on driver versions really ought to check if it should run or not before running. Pretty basic concept in software.
 
X1 has always been buggy and at least in my experience takes months or even a year to get reliable. That’s what happened with my 2080. EVGA makes great hardware and has great support, but X1 has always been some of the most amateurish and poorly/slowly developed software I’ve ever seen. Controls that logically should be grouped are split into entirely different and non intuitive locations. Why is color for the X1 display in the main overclock/fan curve wheel, but LED colors for the card itself in settings? X1 really doesn’t have much to do but is a convoluted mess.
 
And why does there need to be a switch on the card to pick fan curves for when X1 isn’t running? It would take a micro that costs pennies to always run the fan curves under autonomous control. No X1 or switch needed. X1 causes stutters in other software. To run smooth you need to kill it which then reverts to the hardware switch and whatever curve is built in. And why does it take so damn long to fix these things? I hate to bag the software team/gal/guy, but X1 is supposed to be the flagship software for an entire product line. Why is it still missing major feature functionality or so convoluted to use that we can’t make it work?
 
But hey, it looks like an adolescent’s wet dream with all the colors and high zoot graphs.
 
Maybe I’m just missing something on saving clocking curves or that X1 needs to run to keep my 3090 really cool. But after what seemed like a year, it finally seemed to work properly with my 2080 and I could save and recall curves just fine. Unless the method to select a numbered slot and save/recall the setup changed, I used to know how to make X1 do that. So for me on my rig, X1 (newest version) doesn’t do that with my 3090.
 
Before I upgraded the nvidia driver, the new X1 actually broke fan control until I updated the driver. If you’re going to do that and make driver-specific software, have it tell us there is a mismatch. And group features logically instead of spreading settings that should be together all over the place.
 
I know software development can be tough, but X1 has been problematic from the start and for years. OP is not alone in being fed up. Too much effort spent on appealing to pre-teens and not enough on actually making it work or easy to use.
