Text does look bad on this. I assumed it was cause of the low res. Good to know.

I would RMA it with Intel.

AMD fumbled the bag on Starfield. How they didn’t take the Cyberpunk approached to making this work on the Deck is beyond me. They wanted this to be Spider-Man levels and instead its got people feeling weird. Like beating the game doesn’t make me wanna play it again.

Steam Deck presets would be dope.

Also, anyone complaining about the etched OLED screen has no idea how great this screen is in person. The diffusion showing how it works for me at work with a bunch of overhead lighting proved to me a I made the right decision vs glossy

Go with a K vs a KF. Its worth having a back up GPU with the CPU’s iGPU. 4070TI will last you a long time on the current MMOs you play and any new ones you try.

Mine says FedEx, now I’m worried it won’t make it lol

Who cares if it’s an OLED or what the storage is. If it makes you happy to play then that’s the most important spec.

If you get an AIO get an Arctic Liquid Freezer II. You can honestly use a 280mm if you can’t use a 360mm. Just don’t use a 240mm.

Upgrade your monitors before you think of a GPU upgrade tbh 3060ti is plenty good for 1080p

Yeah dude. That’s like buying Premium fuel and putting in a Prius.

I love iStats!

You’re better off getting a 13700k vs a 12900k. Same amount of threads but better performance and IMC. Also is cheaper too I belive.

Congrats! Enjoy the build!

You’re gonna see a huge increase in performance. And your 1% lows are gonna be so much better.

People who buy Alienware currently deserve to be ripped off.

Noctua NH-D15 is still top dog for air coolers.

Because on the road, there is no better device out there that can handle photo and video editing better. The battery life is so insanely good. I got my laptop in July and only have 9 battery cycles on the device. Its reliable, has air drop (content creators in teams know how important this is to your work flow in bad wifi areas), and the screen is fantastic.

Thermaltake Contact Frame and Arctic Liquid Freezer II 420mm AIO.

If you have the space in your case for 420mm, its well worth it.
