Im playing The Outer Worlds and some Far Cry 6, its free on gamepass, its a reskin of 5 not that much changes, but its ok to shutdown the brain and just play and wreak havoc in the game.

I had the Asus b650 Strix before i got the MSI B650 Edge and i have had only problems with Asus, was not stable and i RMA it. This was one year ago and maybe they are better now but because of this experience and the whole Asus voltage fiasco that was burning 7000 CPUS i lost trust in them and i will not buy any Asus MB for the time being. I can recomand MSI, they are rock stable and also i heard a lot of good stuff about the Gigabyte boards for Am5. For RAM overclocking look at Buildzoid vids, hes got some good ones for AMD 7000 overclocking.

The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition Free today, very good RPG game if you like Fallout, and a lot better then Starfield 😄

That is a 9 months old video of thr a770..they improved a lot with the new drivers and the frame generation of Intel xess is better than fg3 and very competitive with DLSS It's not a 4k card, but 3060 ,3070 are also not..but it's a very good card for 2k and it's keeping its pace with the 3070/4060

Yes I got the hx1500i with the atx 3.0 spec. Love it, plenty of Power and silent, also the 12hpwr cable from corsair is well build. Almost 1 year no problems with it.

@ryan aren't around you or in Canada some small firms, or PC Firms that are doing pre-builds but with normal components? No dell, HP, lenovo propietary crap? Maybe they can also have some open boxes, return items. Like this for example, this is an online shop/firm in germany that are doing a lot of prebuilds with normal components and easy to upgrade down the line.

What? Not even close, from what I remember a desktop 4090 is around 75% 80% better then a mobile 4090...so no way a laptop 4080 is a better buy then a 4090.

Thats CA $ right? well your best bet is to buy a 2 hand one or build one from scratch with refurbished/openbox or FB marketplace(ebay) components. Here is a used one on ebay.ca https://www.ebay.ca/itm/266525714853?hash=item3e0e2ba9a5:g:szgAAOSw9thlXlmY&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4KsE9wdK6UbJUtAxvIVIJalrndxmVFzrel4XbtXVm52vnKPqJVyj4Ju%2F5USmw8U0tpsv80dPtcYO2aNOoAFVxewWKl%2FkilnuXXgWCjmO0I95Y5R2ZryXf6oGfZPnvH%2FsFkPqv7W8szdeHUUeTmRudjr7MIAG9c5%2FXFEMLy5pDVXOwy7X7qGwz92m2sZFIJPiCp2aaOuV4oV5tfwBCeUgz5LeQTglnVQAwOuhvGrfphhYXKpcbBcg1T9cBZdmbWLIT5yjBUPEPp43kv7viGxL7uATiV%2F45XmW2Nw5mEm8QlJQ|tkp%3ABk9SR8T9_L-RYw

@ryan you can also go for a Intel GPU like 770, i think they are cheaper as 3060ti and in the same ballroom or even better now with the new drivers, @Mr. Fox is happy with his Intel GPU.

Intel has lost it 🤣

Yeah i tried the animations and to put pressure but no dice. I gave the laptop to my brother, he had an old HP 360 Envy so the Flow will be a nice upgrade and the stuck pixel doesnt worry him😀

ITS HERE 😄

Thx for the help, i did another photo with a Smartphone with macro and now it looks like is only one pixel? If so i can forget about the RMA from Asus 😑

Hi guys, after 6 months of use my screen on the Z13 got some stuck pixel, (pixels?) in the middle of screen. Tried some repair tips like JScreenFix website and put some pressure on the screen but with no succes. 😐. Now i think i need to try and RMA it with Asus, but they i think they are not repairing it if its only a pixel. Need to be like 2 or 3. Right now i dont know exactly how many are there. So what do you think, is here more then 1 pixel? Are they grouped?

Thx, i like it, but the G15 is way better battery wise and graphics power. Also i need the 32GB that the Z13 doesnt have. Ill lose a little bit of portability and the touch function. Z13 is a nice machine but it needs a little more work , battery is really weak and and 16 gb is to low. Also its got some bugs, like sometimes it doesnt shutdown and i need to to a hard shutdown and right now i got some stuck pixels on my screen..need to contact Asus and try and RMA it.

@electrosoft Ufff, sorry to hear about your CPU, so it looks like its not only the MB Manufacturers fault, some x3d chips have QC issues, more and more like everything electronic these day... Keep us updated with the AMD RMA process. Now lets see if my x3d will last or give up the ghost aswell 😄.

Yes please do that, I'm a noob with ram and wanted to maybe buy some high frequency ram and start playing. I heard is possible now with the new agesa to go to 6400+ and still maintaining the 1:1 ratio. Want so see how this translate in real life events like gaming and so on. What improvements are in comparing with the default 6000.

Yes, i am thinking about it , need something new to tinker 😄

Oh nice, but i thought that there are some good direct die solutions for am5, think Roman tested one or he wants to bring one to the market. ill be interested in an noob friendly direct die solution. @jaybee83 dont they have it at Caseking? They are offical partner with Roman.

Nice, also got today my new SSD, P41 Platinium 2TB from Amazon. Installed it in the G15, good improvement over the standard WD SN735 that was inside.

@jaybee83 here is one but not a lot of price reduction https://www.amazon.de/Samsung-Internes-Solid-State-MZ-77Q8T0BW/dp/B089RD13TX?ref_=Oct_DLandingS_D_d503333f_14 Keep an eye on it, maybe the reduction will be bigger late in the week. Yeah storage i think got to the low price atm, maybe when Pcie gen 5 will be more mainstream we will see new lows.

Yes, i try a lot of Price errors, but everytime i get a mail that it was an error and they cannot send the item. This time worked 😄 Also its Black Week on Amazon i got a new SSD for the Laptop, the WD 735 that is inside an X4 but with speeds of X3..🫠 Got this to replace it and, the one inside will go in the second slot.

Finally i got lucky with a price error in internet! Christmas came early for me. I had on my ebay watch list some Asus laptops from Asus store and they were doing some promotions for 2% 3% and so on and getting notifications about them on my phone, and after those notifications came a third from an Asus Zephyrus G15, and after some 10 seconds i see the price at 729 Euro, i didnt belive my eyes and opened the Ebay app and i see that price again and if i want to approve the Offer. I didnt think about it i just clicked approve and right away after i also paid in full. The guys at Asus or the ebay shop instead of reducing the price from 1800 Euro to 1729 they forgot to put a 1 in front so the price was only 729! I thought they will never deliver and just cancel the invoice like everybody does when a price error is but today the package came and wenn i opened the Notebook was inside with a invoice for 729 EUR. So i got a Asus G15 2022 with R9 6900HS 32 GB Ram and a 3080! with 240 HZ for 729 euro instead of 1729! Im happy and i suppose ill sell my Z13 Flow and make some money aswell at the end! Its in white instead of black like it was advertised but i cant complain😀

Interesting, the new pump of Lian Li is indeed very good, maybe ill get the LCD version if it gets cheaper.
