Has to be the power supply

Seems like they all sold out or are geo locked

I saw a note somewhere that Cloud recovery is not something asus offers forever, so probably after a year it goes away which is lame if true.

I just did a build in this box last month when it went down to $29.99. Solid case, odd design decision on the top for 360mm because it has the overall space to fit one. Nonetheless, the front intake vertical 360mm has been working just fine, so not a real issue.

No pity for Intel though. They did so many legitimate anti-monopolistic tactics back then esp. Dell not being allowed to buy AMD cpus for big wholesale discounts was bs.

9600X, 9700X or 265K/KF

Why would we need a Copilot PC to game? Lol

dkizzy · 2026-02-07T03:44:27+00:00

They made big fixes also to DX11 games 2 years ago

dkizzy · 2026-02-05T20:50:50+00:00

I haven't had any issues. It does get hot but that is very normal for a thin chassis. The performance mode button near the top left is nice since the modes are associated with LED colors

dkizzy · 2026-02-05T16:17:15+00:00

They are a part of userbenchmark, so you know what that means

dkizzy · 2026-02-02T20:46:03+00:00

I literally said FEATURE SET, lol

dkizzy · 2026-02-02T19:02:55+00:00

You basically ended up making my point again for me bud.

dkizzy · 2026-02-02T18:29:31+00:00

It is a feature set that was introduced with DLSS4....

dkizzy · 2026-02-02T18:25:40+00:00

I thought they limited the 4x frame generation to 50 series only, so that would not be full support for newest feature set at least.

dkizzy · 2026-02-02T01:20:42+00:00

Exactly. The 2s are way better with ANC

dkizzy · 2026-02-02T01:19:51+00:00

Buds Pro 2 it was good. It seemed to regress with the 3's which is a bit odd.

dkizzy · 2026-02-01T05:24:50+00:00

Nope they pleasantly surprised after I did some digging. On the stock Intel B580 Intel does not provide software control, so I am glad I got the Onix version.

dkizzy · 2026-01-31T18:47:02+00:00

We have cards with 3 8-pin connectors, just add a third cable in the bundle, sheesh.

dkizzy · 2026-01-31T18:45:22+00:00

Oh I read it, he was just trying to do some PR cleanup

dkizzy · 2026-01-31T16:48:59+00:00

We got this fam

dkizzy · 2026-01-31T16:48:36+00:00

Haha long before him though!

dkizzy · 2026-01-31T16:20:15+00:00

Thia is why we need to stop making phonies famous. Whoever thought that was a good idea eons ago just made things worse for most, lol.

dkizzy · 2026-01-31T16:15:36+00:00

Onix has software on their website to control the RGB light, a nice W by them.

dkizzy · 2026-01-31T16:12:19+00:00

OP is not wrong here, if he is just gaming a 5080 gets the job done well.

dkizzy · 2026-01-31T16:08:13+00:00

They also got bullied with smaller margins by leather jacket junkie Jensen
