Thats the ASUS "Premium" tax, pay the name tax and later when you need to RMA it, curse them. You can get from other producers at MSRP Price or close. Dont need to pay Asus for their stupid Strix Name..

HI @Bobby65, you can try a a BIST TEST. PSU test (BIST) by removing all power supply connections to the board, drives, (and anything else) connect power to supply and power on supply is the green light inside the supply by the exaust fan on? If the Green light is on, that means the Power Supply is ok and something else is defective.

Nice, have the same frame aswell on my 7950x3d. Is this a new board? How did the rma with Msi went? Im still on agesa 1.0.0.8, there where some memory problems with latest msi bios. Is this the new one that repairs the problems?

Well, the pc will be for gaming right? So I5 for the start its plenty, get a 13 series if its cheaper, even a 12th is enough for gaming and try and get an 4070, thats the most important component for gaming.

That case is to small, thats a micro atx case and the board will not fit. Also try and get a 1TB drive, like Kingston kc3000, very good drive and sometimes they got a big discount.

Well a770 has xess which is very close to dlss. And please don't buy that joke of the card, the 4060. Sell one of the turdbooks and get at least a 4070, with the new versions coming out the normal 4070 will get cheaper, hopefully. Even better sell 2 turdbooks from your collection and get a 4070ti super or maybe a used 4080 😃

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 😄
