@@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

@@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+

@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 👍

@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

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

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

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

@GreyWolfTowers your fkn awsome 😍 that did just help me my first real buy n piece together a pc that can at lest be like a ps3 or better lol 😆

@@soulprice5428 I'm glad I was able to help.

@GreyWolfTowers I fr thought no was going to answer this as fast as you did...I'm definitely going to check out other vids of yours lol be ready for more questions if I got any lol ✌️

Thank you.

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

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

No. I would recommend the Eagle over this model. But this one is usually less expensive

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 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

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

Used lots of them over the past few years, never had a complaint or anyone report a failure.

@@GreyWolfTowers thanks bro.

@@Strytax good luck.

The switch is great fun. I am enjoying my oled model a lot.

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

They seem to be as reliable as other brands. But at that size they are not suited for storage, just boot drives

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 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 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

@@GreyWolfTowers appreciate the replies, placed order along with a ram stick and insurance together. Can't wait to inbox this !

@bhaskarchaitanya1491 I hope you enjoy it! I am using it for Cybersecurity classes, playing some games, school work and research. It handles everything I throw at it

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.

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

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

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

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).

@@GreyWolfTowers I bought a 600W Essence Apevia one so hoping for it to be good

@@trpylion4968 I have used several of the 500 and 600 watt and even some of their 900 watt power supplies. In the 10+ systems I have built and sold with them, none have had issues.

Me too I bought one to I hope it's a good psu

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

It is soldered in place and not upgradable

I'm glad I could help. I have been using it a bit for school and a little fun (no traditional gaming, but some megamek) and it has done well for me.

This is one of my older videos. I like to think I have improved since then. Thank you for your feedback

Glad you enjoyed it

I don't use this card in any of our personal systems. I put it into several systems to sell and had no complaints from it for noise. It is my goto card for budget builds right now

@@GreyWolfTowers thx i will go if not to buy maybe just check it and sleep with that ;)

I did a video on the process. I used macrium reflect to do it. However they have since stopped the free version that I used. It can be found online through a Google search though

Thank you

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? Onboard Intel® Dual Band 802.11ac Wireless & BT 4.2 with WIFI 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

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

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

That's what we did

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

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

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
