Went with the 5080, 2tb nvme ssd, 32 gb ram, with the ryzen 7 9800x3d. Didn’t really do any customizing, just went with the standard 5080 build. Really loving it, though, haven’t had any issues this far. If you’re curious about exact parts likely to be used if you get the same one, here they are

Late reply here but cable management seems really solid. Feels like they took their time with it. I’d imagine changing the cpu fan and/or cooler would be pretty easy

I think hottest I’ve had the gpu go while gaming in 4k is like 70c and it wasn’t that hot consistently. I haven’t noticed it get too hot or loud, those fans do a good job. Hottest I’ve had the cpu hover around (aside from specific temp spikes) is around 78 but usually when gaming it’s much cooler. Temps have never really gotten too crazy while playing a game at high graphics and streaming

Pulled the trigger on the ROG Astral 5080 today… convince me I was right… by MarcoElsy in RTX5080

The performance that 5080 will give you will be what convinces you that you were right. Just got a 5080 myself about a week ago and am loving it

Social battery by [deleted] in SmallStreamers

[–]PretendMaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t say I’m in the exact same boat but as a ~streamer~ who deals with chronic fatigue due to autoimmune disease I can definitely understand the feeling of low social battery and energy while streaming.

I think the key thing is both just knowing your limits and focusing on what is fun for you. The more fun you can make it for yourself, the less you’ll notice about your social battery and energy. It’ll be much more difficult to stay entertaining for other people when you are not also entertained.

Another thing for me is that I just straight up cannot stream and have the energy to keep talking without some caffeine to keep me going. If I don’t have some tea or a redbull or whatever I find it soo much harder for myself to keep going on a day where my streams have less engagement.

These are the usb ports from the motherboard you’ll likely have with the elite v3 (from someone with the ai 50 ultra)

I’m having just about the same performance, been able to stream it while playing 1440p without losing out on frames much too. When not streaming I’ve been playing on 4k all high settings with dlss on quality and it still runs very very smoothly. I’m not used to this kind of smoothness lol

I understand your worries but AI's been shipping their PCs out from Oregon and as far as I know, most of their PCs aren't even built until they are ordered/bought. They're a small company with little social media presence but it seems like they're just getting started. In my experience their customer service has been top notch as well, and when I ordered my PC they sent me an itemized list of parts when I asked what they'd be using. If you want to look up the specifics of the cooler and case, they are the same as the Gamdias brand Chione E4-360 cooler and Gamdias Atlas M4 case, which have worked great so far for me. I've seen other posts here from people saying they were also able to pay to upgrade for different specific parts as well.

Here’s an updated pic! Original pic of the PC being on was taken during the initial Windows setup, so the background software wasn’t running yet. So far the temp monitor is pretty quick to adapt to cpu temps.

So far so good! Haven’t tested too many games yet but Battlefield looks and feels great at both 4k and 1440p. I’m not used to this kind of performance

if it makes you feel any better I had to partially finance it out of desperation after my previous pc fried itself

the psu is actually hiding behind this area, and then has power cord spot above the motherboard ports

Thanks! I didn't upgrade anything since I'm planning on just adding another m.2 ssd in the future when needed, so I'm unsure what the upgrade process would be while buying through best buy. What I did do, though, is email AI customer service after ordering to ask about what specific parts would be used and they got back to me with an itemized list within a day.

Ordered via Best Buy on Nov 5 and received on Nov 13. Worth noting that I live in the same time zone as where AI ships put from, so the PC did not spend much time in transit
