I saw an article about cryptocurrency miners snatching up 3000 series laptops for their mining operations. Kinda sucks, but one of the pictures was inspiring -- running the laptops in tent mode for better cooling. I gave it a shot with my own, and temperatures are actually several degrees...
i've been using a lowly 4600h + 1650 4gb laptop for the past few months and it has been excellent, the 3000 series laptops will only continue to bridge the divide between mobile and desktop gaming. laptops used to be second or third-class choices by comparison to a desktop, but nowadays that's...
Checking to see if anyone has one for sale before I have to hand over more money to Amazon. I don't mind if it's used as long as it still looks and works alright.
May be open to alternatives as long as they're no larger/taller than the NH-L9i.
sold etc
I wanted to build one of these for a while, so I went ahead with it. Everything has been great, but I guess I don't really need this much PC these days, so I figure I'll get a laptop or something a little slower instead. Amazing 240hz gaming, I've been doing really well in Overwatch...
how does it perform better with high refresh, since that's actually why i'm sticking with 1080p, i still have some pretty ridiculous reflexes so i'm trying to keep things snappy.
how would you say a 3600x + rx 5700 compare to a similar intel/nvidia pairing? these higher end parts look good, but i may need to build a system just a step or two down from there. focused on 1080p gaming mostly.
just looking to sell at this time, can't really use anything else at the moment.
also had a seasonic 450w sfx-l psu and noctua l9x65 new if anyone is interested
look up asrock's deskmini gtx series, i'm basically talking about that in a thick but not too thick laptop format, i guess.
i'll also add that i'm unconcerned with things like weight and as long as i can put it into a normal size backpack that's all i care about.
would be hilarious if they put MXM gpus into retail sales channels and (finally) lead the user configurable mobile space. i really just want a laptop i can actually upgrade and keep relevant, i'm mostly over having a desktop pc, but would still like gaming to be as good.
