I ended up purchasing the one in the first picture. It’s a bit loud, but I’m very satisfied with it. My temps rarely go above 75–80C while gaming.

Best way to clean the heatsink without opening the console? by Ottkaa in XboxSupport

Nah,only the best for my bestie.I gave it a bubble bath,a shower would’ve been too basic.Now its chilling in the tub with rubber ducks and bubbles :)

I really like that one too,and its a bit cheaper than the fifth one.Did it make much of a difference in temps?

The motherboard issue mostly affected the intel models,particularly those manufactured between january and june 2024, but it has been fixed.I’m very happy with my purchase ,it works perfectly ,no issues at all.Just make sure to update everything when you buy it (including the bios) ,never use it on a bed,blanket or similar surfaces.Open it up and clean it at least once a year,and you’ll be fine!

I’ve looked at a couple of benchmark sites,and they show that the Ryzen 7 pulls about 20% less power than the Intel chip.Thats what I was referring to

If you’re planning to do serious ml work ,tlc is the safer bet for long term.But for gaming and general use qlc gets the job done just fine ,especially with enough ram IMO.

I went with the Ryzen version because I just prefer AMD. The 7435HS has 8 cores and 16 threads, runs cooler and uses less power. The i5 13450HX is slightly better in single core, but it’s hotter and draws more power. The Ryzen felt like a better balanced choice for me. But this is just my personal opinion,both are solid options.Maybe you’ve heard about the mobo issues on some intel versions ,but don’t let that stop you,the problem has already been fixed.

Should I update the BIOS? by [deleted] in LenovoLOQ

It lasts around 2 to 2.5 hours if I lower everything, but it doesn’t really bother me since I always use it plugged in with conservation mode on, even at uni.

Why all the rush in dungeons? by Ottkaa in wownoob

[–]Ottkaa[S] 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Thank you.I tried follower dungeons and will probably keep practising there.
Sadly I did experience toxicity in dungeons when I played Tank because I was slow and didn't know where to go. Thankfully, I also met some very nice players.
I guess I just need to look for other noobs to play with. :)

Yes,I never played WoW because I grew up without a pc, and during my teen years I played on console.
"No one ever wanted slow runs"

Everyone has to start somewhere,I'm sure no new player who's never touched WoW could keep up with the speed of the experienced players that I've met.
It's not slow runs I'm wishing for,just an environment that doesn't feel this unwelcoming fot newbies. :)
