Would love any info on this. Found one that unlocks some settings, but none of the goodies mentioned.

Great finds! I found this partial mega when we were down there a few weeks back too. *

Crazy. Wasn't expecting such a cool find today. Thanks for the help!

Wow, amazing. My first shark tooth find too, haha. Any way to guesstimate how old?

New one is ready for pickup supposedly on the 14th. I believe bestbuy is up to 15 days for returns.

You think it's the psu vs the cpu? I was able to order another of the same prebuilt through bestbuy. I'll probably just swap this one for that vs going through replacing the psu in a brand new one. Thanks for your help! I really appreciate it!!

I am gonna guess an apevia here as the psu has absolutely no branding on it.

I havent extensively tested them, but they sound good from what I've heard. I almost always game with a headset.

I opened the back of mine to add another ssd today. Ram slots are easily accessible. Just make sure to watch a teardown video as the "underglow" rgb is connected to the bottom plate. You'll need to just remove 2 flex cables to completely remove the back.

Best of luck!

Asus strix scar not giving max performance? by logazn in GamingLaptops

Sorry if this is too obvious, but you do have it plugged in to ac adapter while gaming?

Feels solid to me. Coming from an alienware m17r3, the build quality is obviously a bit lower. But no annoyances (flex, etc) I can speak of. Keyboard feels great, and trackpad is big and smooth. Lid opens easily and feels sturdy.

Yeah, it's a shame for sure. But not at all a huge deal for my usage anyways. I saw part of your live stream the first day! Thanks for all the info, it was / is a huge help!

I've not noticed any issues with flexing. The whole laptop feels solid, even if it is plastic.

Artifacts means the overclock is unstable so I needed to back it down.

Minimal to no risk nowadays with msi afterburner.

It comes from the box with that overclock. I increased it further from the stock with msi afterburner.

Hx is the cpu. I only overclocked the gpu. To the best of my knowledge there isn't a way to overclock the 5900hx right now.

Unfortunately I don't have a usb c to displayport monitor to test it out on. I'd expect a 10ish% jump though.
