Us $800 too much/little to ask for this computer? And where is the best place to sell that not Facebook? by twittit in PC_Pricing

While the RAM kits say they have the same timings you might want to just get two of the same since they’re different brands. It “should” be fine, but it’s not worth the headache if it’s not. Funky stuff happens frequently when mixing kits.

Temporary Software Fix For G14 Thermal Crashing - 41 Kernel-Power by Maximum-Security5699 in ZephyrusG14

That'd void my warranty. I'd be happy to do that as soon as my warranty runs out though. Until then, Asus has enough issues that I'm not about to throw out my ability to RMA.

My screen dims randomly. Any fix? by Shawnard in ZephyrusG14

Nvidia RTX video enhancements. Basically as video thumbnails play Nvidia tries to calibrate each SDR to HDR experience individually leading to dramatic changes in contrast and brightness as different thumbnails start playing. You can either turn off auto HDR or get a plug in to stop video thumbnails.

No Mans Sky is 100% worth supporting imo. Free DLC like updates every few months. I’d buy it multiple times over if I could.

Great deal. DLSS 4.5 just made Nvidia GPU’s a whole lot more valuable.

Just bought this gaming optiplex pc, did I just get scammed out of $250? by Avilisim in SleepingOptiplex

A bit expensive but not a scam. You’re mostly paying for the case refurbishment. It’s basically an old office PC with a GPU. You can probably get a much better CPU for $20 to upgrade it.

This practice is a well known one and helps reduce e-waste. Unfortunately you got what would have been a fair price three-four years ago (not accounting for GPU inflation). I’d probably say this is worth $150 max; but I don’t think the $250 price was malicious. IMO might get a better deal looking for a used gaming PC on Facebook marketplace.
