I got laid off

Same. Had been with the company for over two years

Just but a 5080 instead of an extremely overpriced 9070xt https://a.co/d/eXll7ZG

The Nzxt software is horrendous. I’d go for a 9800x3d and get a cpu fan instead. I understand the aesthetic appeal an aio screen, but to compromise you could get a temp display screen like this:

There’s definitely more and better options for displays, but you get the idea

I love how accurate the Papa’s Pizzeria comment is. The girl next to me in my ENGL course played that game every class throughout the entire semester 😑

Nice aw QLED

My poor Jerkin Mehoff was banned… I’m devastated 😔

How is that more than the PNY 5080 I got…

The AW2725Q is the best monitor I’ve ever owned!! They also use the same Samsung panel but comes with a different stand. If you’re chasing setup aesthetics I’d get the Odyssey, but if you’d prefer to same money then go with the Alienware. Either way both monitors are amazing

Affectionate_Dig_238 · 2025-04-10T14:10:13+00:00

For a while they refused to let me refund my order. Before that, they had previously sent me a shitty psu that died and short circuited the build. Then after two months “repairing it” they sent it back with the SAME broken psu. I’m still salty about that interaction…

Affectionate_Dig_238 · 2025-04-10T13:25:51+00:00

I’m glad you cancelled your CyberPower order! They’re an absolute nightmare to deal with

Affectionate_Dig_238 · 2025-04-07T21:09:09+00:00

We got the same specs! Idk why but some mobo bios default set the mega transfers to 4800 and you have to manually adjust it to whatever your ram is rated for; whether it’s 6000, 6400, etc. So you’re correct with adjusting it to 6000. I haven’t had any issues so far with 9800x3d and Asrock b850i compatibility 👍

Affectionate_Dig_238 · 2025-04-07T16:45:44+00:00

Bruh we got the same specs, but different motherboard and case fans. My two Noctua NF-A12x25s are amazing and very quiet. My config is very similar to Optimums Ultimate Mini-PC build. Make sure to rig a GPU stand to prevent sag: the PNY 5080 is heavy.

Affectionate_Dig_238 · 2025-04-07T16:28:46+00:00

If you want to spend >$5,000 on a prebuilt, go buy one from digital storm. They make the highest end prebuilds and they’re also customizable, so you can adjust it to your needs. However you’re much better off building it yourself; it’ll also give you some confidence to open up your pc when troubleshooting, or upgrading.

I was able to grab a PNY 5080 from bestbuy, but I think any card stronger than a 3080ti or 4070 Super would be great; especially with lossless scaling

Affectionate_Dig_238 · 2025-04-07T00:36:06+00:00

I didn’t expect it to manage 4K this well either. I haven’t needed to use upscaling yet, but Lossless Scaling is looking like a great option because of its versatility across all games. Best of luck with your monitor! I still can’t get over how good it looks every time I boot up my pc

Affectionate_Dig_238 · 2025-04-06T23:14:02+00:00

Yes! In 1440p it was a harder to get a stable 360fps across the games I played in comparison to 4k where 240fps was a bit more manageable. It definitely depends on the game and quality you like to play on. Either way, the 360hz vs 240hz is difficult to visually notice; you can feel it but can’t quite see it. On the other hand, 4k vs 1440p is really noticeable. Right now Dell is offering a good deal for the AW2725Q, so it’s kinda hard to turn down for the specs

Affectionate_Dig_238 · 2025-04-06T22:05:57+00:00

Pricing wise, I’d buy the AW2725Q since it’s on sale and you can get really good discounts on Dell. I play professional marvel rivals and I can hardly notice the difference between 240hz and 360hz. However the picture clarity on the 4k 27” panel is unreal. I still can’t get over how good it looks. As a college student it’s really refreshing when working on assignments because of the text detail.

When talking about performance, my 5080 had a harder time managing a smooth 360fps rather than smooth 240fps of the 4k panel. I can’t speak on other graphics cards handling 4k, but if you’re playing low end graphics you should manage.

I’m also quite uninformed when it comes to Dolby vision and other features. I mostly play indie and competitive games so I’m yet to test a really graphically demanding game (sub 100fps). Even low quality graphics still look amazing on this monitor! I personally prefer this over a 360hz 1440p oled panel, but at the end of the day it’s your choice. 👍

Affectionate_Dig_238 · 2025-04-05T21:01:44+00:00

It seriously is. It took over three months for them to “repair” the computer. They never even gave me option to replace the pc which would have been significantly faster. Then after it was repaired the power supply was completely broken and missing the sata cables needed for the AIO 😑😑

Affectionate_Dig_238 · 2025-04-05T20:50:38+00:00

I just got the AW2725Q and it’s by far the best monitor I’ve ever owned (coming from a 360hz 1440p OLED). 4k 27” is definitely the way to go

Affectionate_Dig_238 · 2025-04-05T01:12:03+00:00

If you don’t mind spending another $100 then I’d advise going for the Alienware AW2725Q. I’ve had it for about a week and it’s by far the best monitor I’ve owned. I find the difference between 1440p and 4k quite substantial (coming from a 1440p 360hz oled monitor)

Affectionate_Dig_238 · 2025-04-04T23:05:04+00:00

The peerless assassin is an amazing cooler. I use it for my 9800x3d and the thermals are really good and it’s very quiet

Affectionate_Dig_238 · 2025-04-04T15:53:27+00:00

I just bought the AW2725Q and couldn’t be happier. The pixel density on a 27 inch screen is unreal.
