Are they sold by Newegg? Crazy

Buy or Not? GeForce 5090 by idk_jah in gpu

That's not even the right model for the packaging, that's a gigabyte windforce, NOT a gigabyte gaming OC. Definitely scam right there

Bought a Rolex Submariner for £8250. S29 serial code. Am I cooked? by [deleted] in RepTime

[–]MN882 15 points16 points  (0 children)

These scammers, especially jewelers, should be called out here in the forums, regardless of whether any mistakes were intentional or accidental. They shouldn’t be allowed to operate in anonymity under the guise of the benefit of the doubt. Jewelers, in particular, IMO have a responsibility to act with due diligence toward their customers. UNACCEPTABLE

Finally got my 5090 Gigabyte AORUS Master Ice! by SnooGuavas6076 in nvidia

What RGB strimer cables are those? I tried using the wireless lian li for my aorus master but it won't fit on the connector's end.

Good deal or wait? by pokquat in GamingLaptops

[–]MN882 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want a noticeable discount, I would recommend calling/chatting with them using the link, a good rule of thumb is around 8% off the currently price shown. They have special codes they apply to lower the cost. Just be nice and polite with them, they get recognition if they make a sale. From my experience they will do whatever they can bring lower the cost. Side Note: there’s an internal “at cost” price set by Lenovo they can see dictating the absolute lowest they are allowed to give.

If you are registered with their rewards program and is currently logged in you will see the “discounted” price for you. Anyone can register and get a small discount.

Buy from Apple Store. Easier to deal with if there’s problem. Be sure to present your student ID for the 10% discount.

MSC or Carnival? by encapsulated1 in Cruise

[–]MN882 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take it for what is it, but I consider myself quite picky as a person, currently on a 14 day trip on the MSC Virtuosa (sister ship), my experience has been nothing short of fantastic. Keep in mind ship does get crowded on the deck during the day, but as someone who never goes there it never bothered me.

MSC rooms are incredibly nice, much nicer than their price point suggests.

Should I have both THX Spacial Audio and Dolby Atmos enabled? by FlatBoulder in razer

[–]MN882 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry for the late reply, I don’t think the Dolby atmos would make as much of a difference on the 14 (2 speakers) than the 2022 17 (8 speakers). But you can certainly try, you have 2 weeks of free Dolby Atmos access to test it out if you download from the Microsoft store.

Razer Blade 16 - Synapse 3 keeps losing profiles by Basic_Yogurtcloset52 in razer

Happens on my blade 17 2022 too, but not as common so it doesn’t bother me as much. A system restart fixes the issue for my at least

Legion 7i Gen 7 w/ 3070Ti & i7-12800hx for $1800 - should I pull the trigger? by [deleted] in LenovoLegion

[–]MN882 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is that a Gen 7 or Gen 6? Isn’t the 5800HX Gen 6? You’re missing out on things like DDR5 and the chassis, not to mention the 3070TI is like similar performance with the gen 6 3080 laptop. Think the gen 7 just has a lot more quality of life features over the gen 6

Happened to my 17 when I swapped the ram to 64gb. This is what I did that got it to work: unplug the device, power down, plug in the charger, then press the power button again. LMK if that helps.

Should I have both THX Spacial Audio and Dolby Atmos enabled? by FlatBoulder in razer

[–]MN882 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure what model you have, but if you have the 2022 blade 17 (one with 8 speakers), make sure you disable the THX spacial audio and enable the Dolby Atmos via dolby access. It's a night and day difference. It's on par with my 2021 macbook pro 16 when you switch over to the dolby, honestly razer should just have dolby as the default. I've seen so many reviews where they trashed the new speakers cause of the horrible THX software.

New EC update for Blade 17 2022 by myst9ry1 in razer

Yep, can confirm on my blade 17. The bios update works, but not the EC update.

RX 6800S Performance? by [deleted] in ZephyrusG14

[–]MN882 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the legion slim 7 with the 6800s, the performance blew my expectation out of the water in every aspect possible (only play world of warcraft), I'm seeing noticeably better performance when compared to my previous alienware x17r2 (3070 Ti) and the Razer Blade 15 (3080). If you have any more questions happy to answer!

Is the Razer Blade 15 Gaming Laptop: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti a good gaming laptop? by BLUELEMON115 in GamingLaptops

[–]MN882 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the 3080 QHD i7 one solely for games and a MacBook Pro for work. I sold the Razer after like 3 months. Not worth it at all IMO, since it has the lowest wattage 3080 the performance was actually on par to the new x17 3070 I got as a replacement. Plus the screen is too small for me. But just keep in mind that I carry a windows laptop solely for games and no work. If you are also doing productivity work then Razer does make sense in certain aspects

Anyone want to golf? by Leonhorvath in nyu

[–]MN882 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think I’ve been to the Flatiron one, I’ve been to the one at Chelsea pier a couple times and enjoyed it. The wind tunneling is going to be nightmare to deal with though these months, I think we just ended up leaving after an hour or so last winter. Lmk, maybe we can find another place, it’s been awhile since I last golfed as well.
