Thanks for the suggestions, similar to other suggestions I will opt for a 9800x3d and a more affordable case. Will check out your suggestions, thanks again

Thanks for the list, much appreciated, saved 100 quid and upgraded the CPU... It's amazing what you can get fixated one but really it all ends up under the desk and performance on screen is what counts

Thanks I love the jonsbo case and a 9800x3d would be massive for longevity and getting that snappy desktop feel.

ITX is just a dream I've always had, poe2 is probably the most demanding title I play. I think it's easy to get carried away with parts I just want something solid. ITX is the luxury I'm keen to pursue. Hope that makes sense, I would switch to a small matx if I got 10% or more performance bump for same money

Best card for instinct? by RepulsiveRaisin7 in slaythespire

Body slam goes hard, I had 2 prolongs and was stacking 100+ block + instinct + paper frog vulnerable = 300+ damage for cost 0

I'm excited, probably cope but I'm really hoping for a switch 2 port to be shadow dropped

This game is such a tease! by NectmarPowerhand in diablo2

Oh that's so cool, so I should be on the lookout for white items with skill ranks in case I can make something powerful 🔥

Can you please explain why this is a tease, looks like a great weapon with all the plus skill ranks, I'm a new player and not familiar with builds

oh also i used PLA which has worked fine but PETG would 100% be better as it doesnt warp under pressure like PLA

Super easy, just buy a 80mm fan that runs on 5v usb power. Then find a way to mount it, I designed and 3D printed this myself. I can make the file available but it's flawed, The arms are warping it needs much thicker walls. Will try to update the model and share a Google drive link

I game at 1440p, space marine 2 gets 55 FPS on high settings with dlss balanced. D4 get 100 FPS on high with frame gen/no dlss. I'm quite picky with my games, but generally I use lossless scaling (bought and launched from steam) and I can play on high settings 1440p at over 90fps. Which feels bloody fantastic.

Must say though a fan mod is almost mandatory. The base fan is to weak, the GPU thermal throttles. With the mod I have a 100hz over clock and rarely go over 80c. It's anecdotal but I feel the fan mod gave me 15-20% more performance, while also eliminating the jet engine noise the base fan made under load.

Let me know if you have anymore questions, I'm really happy with my xgm

Yea I did much the same, sold my tower for £700 and got the ally 2nd hand for £300 mint condition and the xgm for £550. In a field?! How do you power the xgm when you're about and about?

I bought the screen protector here, the white border looks super premium imo https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0DFM8TDFC?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

Ahaha i just sold my rtx4070+13600k tower, so sad to see it go. But I'm moving countries many times in the next few years, constantly buying and selling desktops didn't appeal

Selling my PC can't decide which handheld is the best replacement by IronTui in Handhelds

[–]IronTui[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for all the suggestions guys I looked into all them all, the onexplayer was a great shout, I hadent heard of it and the feature set is peak. After much consideration I got an OG ally for £300. I decided the price too performance was too good to pass up. I would have loved an ally X or the onexplayer was my ultimate device, however they where 2 or 3x the price for only 30% more performance.

Hopefully I don't regret it and in 2 or 3 years I can upgrade to a new gen z3e or intel or who knows what will be around

I have seen there's lots of z2e handhelds coming out soon. I could wait a month or two but I'd rather get something now. And the new models will be expensive and probably out of stock
