    Question I'm looking for a good gaming laptop under $800/$650 ?

    Edit: Got an ASUS TUF F15, absolutely happy with it. It's a monster in terms of performance, looks amazing and the battery life is quite good.

    Question PC is slow when it's positioned vertically ?

    Question PC is slow when it's positioned vertically ?

    There's no liquid cooling. Checked temperatures and was surprised, CPU temperatures are constantly at 70-100 in all cores, when rotated vertically it's just a constant 100 (I assume so Core Temp can't measure it over 100), had it heating a week ago but replacing the thermal paste worked well...

    Question Should I keep my inferior graphic card in when I have better integrated graphics?

    Question Any good hyper lightweight recording programs?

    I am searching for a lightweight program to record games (mainly just Minecraft), I usually have somewhat stable fps but not on recording while using OBS. Shadowplay doesn't exist on my graphic card, Xbox Game Bar doesn't work either. Anything actually lightweight I can find is either under a...

    Question Upgrade advice for an ancient PC ?

    Looking at the more expensive ASUS motherboard, I also found Gigabyte B660M DS3H DDR4 (rev. 1.0) which is 500 grivnas more expensive, is there any major difference between them for them? Which one is more worth it?
