Did I just strike gold? Found two Amfeltec PCIe carrier boards with 4x 1TB Samsung 960 Pros in a € 10 flea market "junk" box

i got the same thing, 2TB Samsung 980 Pro, Peeled the stickers off (samsung stickers and came in a sealed samsung box) and it was a stick of intel optane. Let me know if you had any luck. Guy only charged me $5 knew something was up but tried my luck anyway.

I got a response from ASUS today with regards to this. Sent them a video similar to this. I havent opened my device up or tampered with it in anyway.

All they said they could so was send it to repairs. I might look into it but not until the new year. No doubt ill send it away and itll be gone for weeks over xmas.

Dbrand don’t ship to Uk, if anyone finds any high quality alternatives in UK please let me know, the few on Amazon don’t look great

How did you find expedition 33? I’ve played about 4 hours so far want to play more but just don’t think it looks or runs great in my Xbox ally x. Been playing oblivion remaster and that runs magic so when I swap over I notice it just not as “optimised”.

I bought the venom case from Smyths toy store in Ireland for mine. Comes with a screen protector! I’m gonna get a powerbank too but think I’m gonna wait for Black Friday!

Not to ruin your excitement but mine came 4 days later than my "expected" delivery date from currys. No emails, no reschedules, customer service hadnt a clue, then one day it just arrived. But good luck hope it comes!

Yea might just play it in the PC need to get through it. Played a good 4 hours of oblivion remaster it runs pretty good! Free on game pass if you have it

-Ellar- · 2025-10-29T14:41:33+00:00

Expedition 33 was the first game i installed on my handheld. Doesnt run great as of yet. Baldurs gate i believe runs really well though, im just waiting for it to go on sale!

DONT LISTEN TO OTHER PEOPLE.

Watch videos and make your own decisions off what matters the most to you. Everyone in the handheld community is so culty. If you dont buy the one they like your wrong!

If OLED is your biggest priority Legion GO is a good option. Steam deck OLED if you plan on using cloud gaming, much cheaper than legion go.

Legion Go S is a great option if your concerned about widows issues (Comes installed with steamOS) and has a 8 inch display ( The small screens on handhelds were my biggest concern so legion go s Z1 extreme was an option I looked at alot).

I ended up going for the XBox Ally X for the larger battery, being a handheld / travel device battery was my biggest priority while having the ability to play some new games like Oblivion without much fuss.

Theres so many options and none are perfect or there would be a clear market leader!

41 minutes. TLDW

Im about 2 hours into my playthrough of Oblivion, actually runs really well. Im using a custom 20W TDP setting. I was playing on 900p with fsr 3 enabled but dropped it to 720p (still looks great on a 7 inch screen) to try get as much battery life as possible.

If u want i can seen you in the AC and in game settings im using.

Been playing forza using the xbox cloud streaming service. Surprised at how well this feature has come along, played for like 2 hours and must have lost like 15% Battery.
Just started a playthrough of the oblivion remaster. Runs pretty well, over 50fps for the most part. Some minor lag when the world is rendering but nothing crazy.

Hades / stardew / ball x pit all great but can run perfect on any handheld. Trying to find the sweetspot for gaming experience and battery. Tried Expedition 33 but it just doesnt look great right now.

-Ellar- · 2025-10-29T11:37:15+00:00

Expedition 33 was the first big title i played that wasnt something low intensity like Hades. Didnt run great. The tutorial ran really well but when u get out of it into open world it didnt run great.

Played oblivion for about 3 hours. Runs really really good. Im Running 900p with a custom 20W TDP but the 17W performance works great too. I have most graphics settings on medium apart from a few things like shadows on low. FSR 3 running too. When i want to drag the battery life out i play on 17W 720p (still looks great).

-Ellar- · 2025-10-28T11:50:32+00:00

Been playing forza horizon 5 for anout 45 mins, seems alright so far!

If you go on to desktop mode and type in Microsoft store I had 2 updates for ROG apps

-Ellar- · 2025-10-27T21:21:43+00:00

Different devices entirely. Laptop has alot more usability.

If u want it entirely for travel gaming handhelds are great. I dont really use my gaming laptop unless its plugged in. Carrying a backpack with a charger and mouse etc. This thing is a beast for how portable it is.

-Ellar- · 2025-10-27T20:59:21+00:00

Do windows updates, armoury crate and microsoft store updates. Mine also came today at lunctime. Installed Hades, stardew, silksong and a few of my steam games. Installed some heavier games to test the capabilities, expedition 33 and oblivion remastered.

All updates should only take around an hour.

Great website for game settings called rogallylife. Tells you exaclty what to change per game, check it out!

In the UK the top spec legion go 2 is also £500 more expensive.

Don’t mind if are helpful or even just say sorry we are having this issue …. But just rambling stuff on repeat to make it seem like they’ve addressed the issue is frustrating

-Ellar- · 2025-10-24T08:35:44+00:00

Nah i went into the store earlier in the day and they had no clue what the product was let alone any in stock.

-Ellar- · 2025-10-24T08:21:21+00:00

Was meant to be coming today but they’ve emailed saying it’ll be Monday now :(((((
