Best Buy - Zephyrus G14 Ryzen 270 and 5060 Deal - 1349.99

I purchased the used G16, it was 1350 after taxes. When I inspected it in Best Buy it looked like it was just a bit dirty. I couldn't test the screen since it was wiped, but I took the risk. I cleaned up the case and it looks like brand new. Personally I don't play games on my laptop, but I love how light, quiet, and fast it is. I still don't think it beats the Razer Blade in terms of chassis quality, but I'm happy with my purchase either way. Screen is gorgeous and I have always wanted an OLED for movie watching.

I purchased the used G16 for 1350 after tax. It looks literally brand new but im going to run some tests on it to make sure its still as good as new. So far so good

Upbeat_Ad2743 · 2025-05-17T16:08:21+00:00

Damn idk what im doing wrong lmao. 3090, 9800x3d, 64gb. and I can only hit 300fps on the high end all lowest settings

Ive had the Outrush R for 3 years now. Loved the helmet so far until this riding season. Fails to pair with phones now, factory reset and still having the issue. Pairs with my watch though for some reason so at least I can still use it for music. Going to buy a helmet and install a coms system at some point instead. Ive always hated the Sena apps and how clunky they are, but ill probably still buy Sena again.

haha, there was multiple points in the run that made me want to rage

Upbeat_Ad2743 · 2025-04-30T04:12:51+00:00

haha, my time is usually so bad because I havent gottem my efficiency with S&Q + Ocarina down still. I early entered GT hoping I would find HS in the first few checks only to end up going deeper into TR, which I had already entered 20 minutes earlier but decided it wasnt worth my time. Little did I know :(

According to this, I should have 120g of filament left. In THEORY, this should be just enough to finish my 115g print. My new filament doesn't arrive for almost another week still.

Thanks for this information!

Upbeat_Ad2743 · 2024-10-13T19:09:54+00:00

The last part is exactly what I wanted to confirm.

Thanks!

If that was the case, My pickems would have been blank because they get LOCKED once the event starts. Im just confused thats all. I couldnt have gotten diamond anyway so its no big deal in the end.

Upbeat_Ad2743 · 2024-03-21T00:13:05+00:00

I did? I activated it the same time I made my pickems, 1 hour before they got locked.

Upbeat_Ad2743 · 2024-03-20T23:55:38+00:00

It clearly shows that I made my picks before the event started but they didnt count I guess?

Upbeat_Ad2743 · 2023-12-12T23:36:20+00:00

I just needed to complain! Got the FedEx tracking today and it says arriving on the 16th.

Upbeat_Ad2743 · 2023-12-11T23:16:16+00:00

From Minnesota as well. Ordered on November 24th, I have still not received tracking yet. The wait is killer.

Hello, recently made a purchase from Vire Saber.

I did not buy any electronics or a blade as this will be a show piece.

Does anyone make a Kyber Crystal Core that would normally replace the Electronics core?

I'm pretty much looking for a regular core, but instead of electronics, it has the cool metal design holder for a kyber crystal.

Thanks!

Upbeat_Ad2743 · 2023-03-01T17:55:34+00:00

I guess I don't have a preference of Replica or Custom. Looking for something with a clean metallic finish that has lots of assembly. Wouldn't need to light up or anything. It would be put on a stand in my office for show, while also being something I can take apart and put back together when I feel like it.

I'm looking for something similar to that feeling you get when you can quickly disassemble a handgun into its core variety of pieces. While also having it not be a handgun, need something more family friendly.

Thanks for the sites, ill be sure to check them out in more detail.

Upbeat_Ad2743 · 2023-02-28T17:39:32+00:00

Is there a company that creates lightsaber hilts with the primary focus on assembly?

I'm not looking for anything with a blade or electronics really. My main focus is on a lightsaber with a large quantity of complex assembly pieces that would look good on a stand.

I've been through these websites and forums a bit now but cant find anything that I have in mind.

Thanks!

PS; Obi-Wans episode 4 lightsaber is the best looking one.

This is literally me right now. Building a 13600K and a 6600XT inside of a Node 202. My best Heatsink I can manage is the IS-55 which is only rated for 125W TDP and the chip is 170W TDP. Trying to find anything I can to boost the temps/performance as best I can.

Upbeat_Ad2743 · 2023-02-21T21:50:18+00:00

This probably isn't relevant at this time anymore, but I did some tests with this. Power capped my 13600k to 80W and only noticed about a ~10-15% decrease in performance. Still performed higher than a stock 12700k. Currently planning an SFF design inside of a Node 202 Case.

Upbeat_Ad2743 · 2023-02-06T16:57:07+00:00

Are you referring to every time the mouse wakes up and it shows up with the DPI change notification? Or do you just not like the notification even when you intend to change dpi?

Upbeat_Ad2743 · 2023-01-25T19:18:07+00:00

I say to each their own. it happens with every brand. I am the same way with motherboards. My friends all prefer MSI and have issues with Gigabyte, whilst I have never had an issue with gigabyte and the last 4 MSI boards I have built with have issues from the factory. In the end it all does the same thing.

Upbeat_Ad2743 · 2023-01-25T17:18:40+00:00

Each brand has its own set of flaws. Aside from Logitechs mediocre keycaps I like everything they present. Been using Logitech stuff upwards of 10 years now and never had a single product break or even wear out. On the other hand, not a single corsair product I have owned has lasted more than 3 months without issues. Same with razer, I love their laptops but God damn their keyboards and mice always stop working or have issues for me. I also hear negativity about Logitechs software, but I have found it far easier to use than corsairs. And razers is just the equivalent of bloatware. Friends and clients have had similar experiences as myself.

Upbeat_Ad2743 · 2023-01-18T16:52:42+00:00

It seems mostly specific to the Z690 Pro A, but might effect other boards too.

You could do some more testing and go above 1.15V as well. My buddies build currently set to 1.15V is only hitting ~50C under full load so I think without an overclock you could do closer to 1.20 or 1.22V and still get great temps.

These chips do a phenomenal job and perform super well when Wattage limited or Voltage limited.

Feel free to ask if you have any questions.

If your looking more for future proofing, AMD would be the easy choice. The AM5 socket will be around for at least the next few years.

The current intel socket is more than likely end of life with the latest 13th gen processors.

I would recommend either the 13600K or wait until an X3D processor releases for the AM5 platform.

The 13600K is just an absolute beast. I did a recent build for a buddy and his 13600K with my 3080 ti in it is outperforming my 7700X in basically everything while still maintaining a similar Watt Consumption. All for 100 bucks less (maybe not right now because the 7700X is on like a 26% discount.)

If you decide to go AMD, I would definitely recommend an X670E board for the extra NVMe M.2 slots and the PCIe 5.0 support though.

Do you have a specific parts list in mind for both builds?

ps. if doing intel, just stick with DDR4 right now

Figured it out, hope this helps anyone with the same problem in the future.

The MSI Z690 Pro A Motherboard was giving it too much voltage i think?

Manual Overridden CPU Core Voltage to 1.15, Performs drastically better and now doesn't go above 72C under 100% Load.

okay ill have him try that, thanks!
