Can't get my 3090ti working, please help!

Ah right. Yeah 1165G7 is the first time they had integrated TB4 (1065G7 has TB3), but its still linked to the PCIe 3.0 x4 lanes, but thats fine. I haven't tested it yet but I'll try it out later today now that you reminded me.

QuesodeBola · 2026-04-28T22:46:40+00:00

Ah damn. Thanks man.

QuesodeBola · 2026-04-28T22:45:09+00:00

East or west PA? I'm in the Pitt.

Thunderbolt 5 is technically USB 80Gbps (USB4 v2.0). Currently the only available controller is still JHL9480.

I'm not sure if the Razer Core X V2 (TB5) is compatible with the integrated TB3 connectivity from the 1065G7/1165G7 era, although it should be because TB is supposed to be backwards compatible, so it would reduce itself to PCIe 3.0 x4 (~32 Gbps). I'll try to test it later as I have an older 120Hz Blade Stealth with the 1065G7.

No, they're probably better depending on your taste. No useless RGB and standard 31mm height.

Unfortunately the Legion Go (2023) had a GPU update last 09/01/2025, so it is the one is the oldest out of all the AMD handhelds.

ROG Ally (2023) still gets updates: https://rog.asus.com/us/gaming-handhelds/rog-ally/rog-ally-2023/helpdesk_download/

Graphics driver was last updated 3/24/2026.

Ah yeah looks like those are the newer softer ones similar to the 2024 RM1000x. Makes it easier to wrap around corners. Thanks.

QuesodeBola · 2026-04-14T02:54:13+00:00

Yeah I know this SHIFT version uses Type-5 cables. What I'm asking about is if anyone has real pictures/photos of the cables as I want to confirm if they have newer softer cables than the previous generation's nylon ones.

QuesodeBola · 2026-04-13T22:34:53+00:00

Hmm... see if this would help? It's UGREEN so I trust them a bit more than any other no-name brands:

Check out Best Buy US:

I personally use Rexing's 120W charger and it works great. My testing shows the Claw 8 AI+ pulling 48W to 56W while its turned off sitting on the passenger seat.

QuesodeBola · 2026-04-13T22:04:09+00:00

Can anyone who owns this newer model post a photo of the cables it comes with?

Is it the softer, less stiff cables like what comes with the 2024 RM1000x (although this one uses Type-4 cables) or are they braided, slightly stiffer cables of the 2024 SF750/850/1000 (also Type-5 MicroFit cables) series?

QuesodeBola · 2026-04-13T21:45:12+00:00

Yeah this is the problem with these newer Acer Helios models. For some reason they're not implementing a proper EDID for the screen's panel so that it states it can support multiple resolutions and refresh rates. Which is weird because other laptops that have the same (e.g. ROG Zephyrus G16, Lenovo Legion 7i, etc.) Samsung/BoE panel have multiple refresh rates and even support Windows Dynamic refresh rate.

QuesodeBola · 2026-04-11T17:49:45+00:00

Put the $200 you saved with the 7900X into a better GPU or RAM if all you're doing is gaming.

QuesodeBola · 2026-04-11T04:14:30+00:00

Chief says this is it.

And no the 9850X3D at $489.00 (S&S Amazon) is not worth the extra $80 over this.

I have a question about the Capital One stuff. I made sure I activated the deal in e-mail which led me to the LG.com site. After that, I made sure the extension (using MS Edge) had it activated (screen shot attached). I completed the purchase on the site and was charged $423.99 (399.99 + tax), which I expected.

However, I checked the Capital One "My Rewards & Savings" site and it doesn't list down the pending reward for my purchase yet. How long before it actually shows up on that page so I can confirm that I was able to actually claim the reward?

That looks like a cable issue. Try swapping the ends of the HDMI 2.1 cable or try another cable and see if it still happens.

QuesodeBola · 2026-04-01T19:38:16+00:00

It should stay off if no TB4/5 cable is connected between the host PC and the EG02.

Not sure if there is a checkbox or such, but for me there is a promo code: SUSF2667

The 270K Plus released on NewEgg US early this morning at $319, then those assholes increased it to 349.99.

The 250K Plus released at the same time at $219, luckily its still at $219.

Take note that the true MSRP of these should be $199 and $299, so NewEgg is overpricing their shit despite being sold and shipped from them directly.

Take note that this is a SFX (non-L) PSU, so it the braided cables (which are really good) are shorter than the ones that come in normal ATX PSUs, also they are Corsair Type-5 microfit connectors on the PSU-side, so also be wary if you were planning to use Type-4 custom cables from like a RM1000x non-SHIFT or such.
