I recently became disabled after being in the IT field for over 30 years. I have run my own business and been in IT for a large Corporation. I love to learn new things, so I consider myself an old dog trying to learn new tricks. I knew that RUclips existed but rarely used it until 2018. Due to becoming disabled, I now have a reason to get more social and sharing with people around the world on RUclips seemed like a good idea.
I'm looking forward to sharing adventures with a wide range of people and contribute to the community through giving you a view into my computer knowledge as I share what I have learned and learn more. Things have certainly changed a lot since I began working on computers 30 years ago, so these adventures promise to be fun and interesting.

White Zotac RTX 4080 Super Trinity OC Un-boxing
So, this video came about due to a friend and client wanting a new build and a great gpu at a good price that is also white. This was purchased for his new build, and when it is done, I hope to share at least an image if not a video of that finished build. Currently though, this is the first part purchased - next up will be the motherboard and CPU and probably RAM at that time too.

Last year I bought an MSI intel i5 prebuilt computer with an rtx 4060. total cost was $700, i got it on sale brand new from walmart. it literally has played every single thing i have ever needed it to play. i can't understand how people will spend thousands on just a gpu. insanity.
@@chris_topher1984 for 1080p or even lower 1440p that's a fine setup. For higher resolution and quality settings, it won't hold up. I run a different 4080 super than this one, I get 90-130 fps on average with medium to high settings on 3440x1440 (1440p ultrawide, less power needed than 4k) and it's a 2013 game I'm playing. So, sometimes you need more powerful gpus and you pay for them - more now than ever before unfortunately
@@GreyWolfTowers That's true I guess since I only play on a 27 inch monitor at 1080p it fits my needs perfectly. I'm 40 years old so I've seen the prices get inflated as the years go by. It still boggles my mind that people would spend X amount of money on a gpu, when that same X amount of money could buy a whole computer, or two playstation 5s, or a motorcycle, etc. Prices for almost everything is crazy now. But you can buy an older gen new ipad for $199 or $250 on sale. Some electronics are dirt cheap now compared to the 90s and early 2000s. When I was in college nobody had laptops because they all cost over $2000. Now you can get an office laptop or tablet for $300 or so.
@chris_topher1984 yeah. Unfortunately gpus go up rather than down for the newer models. Hopefully that will slow down or go thr other way soon but I don't think it will. I'm 44, I've seen the same trends - but times are stranger than ever right now
Very nice card. Wish I could afford it.
@@JayzBeerz me too. This is a client's build, not my own. It's a beautiful card
@@GreyWolfTowers yeah it’s crazy $1,000 to $2,000 for a GPU.
@@JayzBeerz I'm not looking forward to 50 series pricing. I fully expect the 5090 to hit higher than the 4090 has ven when it was being scalped at $2400+
Sadly, I installed windows on one of these, it failed after 2 months. No media detected but BIOS saw it. I tried repair and even reinstall, nothing shows. Thanks for the review.
@MrFrankieLB I have western digital crucial and even samsung drives that have done that too. Unfortunately, it's not just cheap drives, but yes, cheaper drive brands tend to have more issues than higher end brands.
@@GreyWolfTowers agree 👍
What's the maximum RAM you can install?
@shemstcroix2356 if I remember correctly (I haven't rewashed the video and haven't used the motherboard since the video) it can run 4 sticks which means 128gb is able to be used. I would highly suggest running 32gb minimum, if you do a lot of productivity work then 64gb or max it at 128gb if doing mostly heavy productivity applications that use lots of ram
will it be big difference in performance if i get the same one but with intel core i7 ?
Should not make much of a difference. When I got mine, the ryzen model was less expensive. It's a beast for sure.
@@GreyWolfTowers thank you for your response!
@@GreyWolfTowers do you have any issues with this laptop?
@@uservlad5593 I have yet to game on it it with anything more than basic games, but it has handled everything I've thrown at it so far with no issues
Good day! Is this device asus br1100cka-gj0356r? Thank you
I do not have the exact model available right now, but I am 90% certain that is not the model I purchased
@@GreyWolfTowers okay. Still, thanks
Lol! I am a dork and horrible speller sometimes. I misspelled Channel as Cannal - it has been fixed.
Wish to know the max core count this psu can do bcuz the book just say 2 Def types but we limit pushers like to welp test just I my self lack money to test things 😕
It's going to depend on the gpu. Cpu can be any cpu up to an i7/i9 or ryzen 7/9. But for gpu, I would keep it to like a 3060/3060ti/4060/4060ti. It might go higher but I would not push it myself

Thank you.
Hello, I have this same case but the rgb lights of the fans, they turn on as soon as I turn on the pc but after the system loads in the lights go off. Do you have any idea on how to control the lights?
As I stated in the video, my case came with no fans of any kind. So, the fans I added were not rgb but rather blue only led. It might be something with the model of fans or just a fluke issue. I have some brand new antec argb fans, they worked fine just using the controller box but when I switched it to run through the motherboard it started having white flashes in the rings. But after using them about a week the flashes are gone
Oh okay thanks a lot
hi! my fan just got broke, and i need a replacement and i dont know what is the exact size of the fan of Zotac GTX 1060 3gb. if you dont mind please do tell me what is the size. or a legit link to buy. thank you!
I don't have the measurements, I just looked up "fan replacement <model>" (replacement <model> with your gpu model) and I found places. If I remember correctly these were on Ali express, so they took almost a month for me to get. But they were cheap

Would you recommend this over the eagle?
No. I would recommend the Eagle over this model. But this one is usually less expensive
New sub, keep it up bro. Love that you’ve been unboxing a lot of underdog tech like the rx6600 Eagle and the Apeiva 600w semi Moduler psu. Both great parts that I have in my Amazon cart. Your Channel is actually underrated. 👌👍
Thank you. I appreciate your feedback. I am going to be editing a new video for a gpu that isn't an underdog, but I hope it helps people still
I would like to know how to switch the bios to recognize the nvme drive as drive 0. I followed the other steps but it did not work. and i hoped there would be a third video about it. but I could not find it
I don't think I did a 3rd, it was planned but never came about. I ended up just formatting the original drive so that it went to the upgraded drive automatically
thinking about getting this🔥🔥🔥
I still haven't gotten around to playing on it but it has been a life saver for me with school. Plus I edit with it. I have not posted a video recently due to school but I should be posting my next video this weekend - it's been crazy here
I have this psu and my gpu is a 7600 XT witch is recommended a 650watt but this psu holds up great and is pretty high quality for 40$
is the psu still alive? i'm thinking of buying this lol...{
Used lots of them over the past few years, never had a complaint or anyone report a failure.

i got a nintendo switch but its coming on the last day of 2023
The switch is great fun. I am enjoying my oled model a lot.
i have the same motherboard do u have any amazon links? i need new ram (RGB) thats compatible im clueless
I have a kit of this running on my test bench and has been fine. It's a decent price on 32gb rgb ram. amzn.to/3TLOeMp
hay how are they now? just bought a 128GB 2 pack and deciding if I should even bother storing important data on them or keeping it to just the os and applications
They seem to be as reliable as other brands. But at that size they are not suited for storage, just boot drives
how about the AC still good no lag issues?
I used it in a system that I sold, it was never meant for me to keep. But I never heard a complaint from the buyer
I've got a 1tb Game Pro in a PS4 (been working perfectly) and a 1tb Game Turbo in a PS4 slim (again working perfectly) Unfortunately the standard PS4 and PS4 Slim only offer SATA 2 speeds, unlike the PS4 Pro which supports SATA 3 speeds. They still have much faster loading times then a standard HDD in the PS4 and PS4 Slim. I haven't found any differences between the Gigastone Game Pro, and Game Turbo SSD's. Very affordable and reliable options vs the more expensive brands like Samsung.
Great video, thanks so much! I'm planning on buying this laptop, I currently have the nitro 5 15 .6 inch screen version of 2020, so I think is a nice upgrade, but I'm afraid if is going to be too heavy or too big to fit in my backpack since is a 17 inch screen now, I always have to take it every day to my university, and the main purpose is going to be gaming, university, and some design work and editing, so I'm not sure if I should go instead for the Nitro 5 2023 with RTX4060 and intel i7 12th but the screen is 15.6” FHD 144Hz, I would appreciate a lot if you give me a recommendation based on your experience, thanks!
I use this one for college/university myself. It is a bit on the heavy side, but it hasn't been too bad. It weighs about 6 pounds (less than 3 kg) with the charger
i am about to purchase this laptop on amazon for black Friday sale, I wanted to know if there is a warranty card inside so I can avoid purchasing the assurion insurance that amazon provides for $100. I am unsure if the paid insurance is worth of $100 for 2 years.
I would get the $100 2 year plan. I would have had to pay more for mine so I didn't, but I also do the repairs on most of my stuff myself. It is worth the extra bit. It will also cover stuff the manufacturer warranty does not cover
@@GreyWolfTowers thank you so much for the reply. Another question, this device is upgradable to 32gb sodimm ddr5 ram or 64 gb?
@bhaskarchaitanya1491 I know 32gb for sure but I have not seen anything specific to 64gb. But I would be surprised if it didn't run 64gb

Hello from México, could you tell me the number part/model of the adapter AC? I lost mine and I need to buy another one but there is many of them, so I need the right one, please
The only 2 numbers on my charger that might be a part number are KP3300H001 and 30900970PH04. I'm not sure which would be the one to use for ordering, but I hope it helps you.
Hi! Im from Argentina, a friend of the family is coming for the holidays on December and I asked to bring me a laptop because prices here are insane, and the few notebooks available are 2-3 years old models. I choosed the Nitro 16 with Ryzen 7 and 8GB V-ram over the Nitro 17 with 6GB ram... (17 had a bigger screen and it was a little bit cheaper, but it had 2gb less of vram) But then , between all the options, this one came up on Amazon. Bigger screen, 1TB space and the Vram gets equal because this one has a RTX 4060 just like the Nitro 16. So now, I'm about to choose this one instead the N16. Would you recommend it ? Is it worth it?
I love this laptop. The only complaint I have (and I'm going to do a review video soon) is that the weight of it is very heavy for a laptop - but it's due to being 17"
@@GreyWolfTowers Yeah that's something I also think of. I got a new job beside my industrial design profession and I would travel even more often than I do today, so I will keep in mind that it has to fit in my backpack. Greetings from Arg!
@jeremiasdanielsueldo8311 I take mine with me to school. It is possible to use it remote like that. But with the larger screen it uses the battery faster and it's heavier than a smaller model like my 14" Lenovo Flex 5
can i use it with r5 4500 and rx6600?
You should be able to use it. However it may require a bios update first. 3000 series will work out of the box, 5000 requires an update if it is a older board (Sold before the manufacturer updated the bios). 4000 series may work out of the box or require a update
Did you ever get around to opening it up to see if you can upgrade anything?
I have not. It has, however, run pretty smooth for my son as a school and entertainment laptop. He plays roblox and minecraft on it as well as browsing the internet, watching RUclips, and doing school work. I'm fairly confident that at best the storage can be upgraded but I have not gotten to look yet to see if it can or not. But there is a micro SD card reader for additional storage in case
Hey! Is there any issue with the power supply frying the motherboard or anything? Or is there any issue in general
I have never had anyone complain about the systems I put apevia power supplies in. They are not usually 80+ certified so you need more power than other brands (need 600-650 watts apevia psu instead of a 500-550 watt 80+ psu).

i got an XFX RX6600 for $210 plus I got Starfield for free. I got the card for a really old Ryzen 5 2400G I have not used in years. I am surprised to say, it runs Starfield perfectly, I am very surprised the Ryzen 5 2400G still has the power.
This card came with Starfield as well. I saw the xfx model for $210, but went lower with this one at $202 + tax. I'm putting it into a build as soon as I get the chance
That's a bummer, i wanted to get this for oncall situations for work. I plan to use it as my secondary/backup device. 😢
Do they solder the RAM because they do not want us to upgrade?
It is soldered in place and not upgradable

Do you know how I can activate the Wi-Fi capabilities on it I downloaded the Intel drivers but I didn't see an option in my network settings to connect to Wi-Fi
I installed windows 11 and it natively had the wifi and Bluetooth ready to go. It connected to wifi with no issues for me. I'm wondering if you got a faulty board
@@GreyWolfTowers I'll check it out, I also didn't download all the drivers yet for gigabyte I'll see, I know another person on another video told me this board didn't come with WiFi but I saw this spec do I just have to connect the antenna?

@ByCoreyLaury I set it up like 3 feet from my router, no antennas and it still saw the signal. I sold it less than a month after this video so I no longer have it to test. But it had wifi running as soon as windows was installed, no extra drivers
I just bought mine with free game for 220
It is a great budget card.
im going today to buy mine second hand for 120 bucks with warranty, what i have test it?
@ms.stability not sure what your question is. That is a great price though if it includes warranty.
@@GreyWolfTowers just worry about coil whine and to high temps
How sturdy is it? It seemed a little flimsy heavier gpus might sag alot
The build I generally do is a i3 with rx 6600 or similar gpu, so nothing super big like a 4090. It held up without issue for the build I used it for and was a decent budget case. I would not suggest putting massive gpus in it just because it isn't designed for large gpus, but it can hold decent sized ones. If a gpu is large enough to sag it is always best to use something to prevent sag other than just the screws in the back of the case
Great video! but now I have the next question, could I install windows on the NVME use the EMMC formatted as a second storage internal device?
That's what we did
I am thinking about buying this for my job. It looks great, but remarks you made about the battery kind of made hesitant.
It is just more a normal length battery as opposed to the really long lasting battery that the Lenovo Flex has. I'd say I get a good several hours of battery using it lightly
Hi, I am looking for this laptop. I would like to use Google meet, can it run smoothly? It is ARM framework, so I want to ensure this. Thanks for your video!
I cannot guarantee it will work because I have never used it and my kids use this laptop not me myself. But according to a Google search there is a way to install Google play store and then items that install on galaxy phones. So in theory it should be possible, but it might require additional software
I just flooded mine with beer, I wonder if it can be saved
You can try to save it if it did not short. I would clean it with a soft toothbrush and rubbing alcohol. I would also change the thermal pads and repaste it at the same time
