I agree with @Scott , the only thing we don't know is the TDP of the 3080 in both of @justafolk 's options. I would expect the Recoil to be the biggest wattage available, but maybe I'm wrong. Also, expect it to be a very noisy boy. Not saying that the Valeon will be quiet, but definitely less...

Hey @Manuel JoaquimCarvalho de Meireles368 , sorry for the 2 months delay in replying to your thread. Can't say much about your power cord issue, that could be indeed malfunctioning and you should try talking to PCS, explaining your situation and ask for a power brick replacement (are you still...

That's really weird and never heard about it, but I'll maybe give it a try? The results sound interesting. :) To be honest, not sure if it can be related to windows update alone. If that is the problem, a complete format and clean install of windows should solve your issue. 60C on idle doesn't...

That fan can accumulate quite a lot of dust! The other one (copper with the heatsinks) didn't have much dust on my previous experience of repasting, so I wouldn't care much about that one for now (maybe in a few months). And regarding the back cover screws, I think only PCS would be able to...

Sorry for the late reply, guys. @Cg14 your laptop is a nova, meaning it is a DTR that uses a desktop Ryzen and that can indeed be undervolted. There are 2 options in the BIOS that will allow you to over/underclock and undervolt the CPU, but I found the step increments to be too high. So I...

Really don't think so, it doesn't feel any heavier to me... but it could be that the new animations might be masking it a bit. The requirements are quite low for them to drop Zen1 and 7th gen Intel, it seems that MS is quite lost on this. Have a look below...

Any way to test that? Browsing around and doing daily stuff I've seen it wander between 0.4 to 4%. But when idle, it rests at zero with around 47Mb of RAM usage. The only new thing that I've noticed on the task manager is this, but CPU usage is zero if I don't have the widgets bar opened:

So my score now is this: https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/63238733 around 350 points below my best score (https://www.3dmark.com/fs/25348489), but as I said, today I have an ambient temperature that is 7°C higher than on the day of that test, which ended up causing 5°C higher for the GPU average...

Sure, can do that later. Is Cinebench a good CPU load for this test or do you need something not too heavy?

What I can tell you for sure is that Android apps support is still not there. Searched everywhere and no android apps or amazon appstore is available on the windows store as of yet. Maybe on a future build. I haven't noticed any difference in the performance, apart from some glitches on the new...

3dmark detecting that you have windows 10 shouldn't be an issue, since W11 is not officially released yet and that is what I would expect it to show. Will give it a try later today to see if it works for me, even though the last time that I ran a benchmark was in the winter time with ambient...

You need to search around on how to change your BIOS to English, the motherboard user manual is a good start

I miss having the taskbar on the left side of the screen, though... the option is not there and only the default (bottom) is available :cry:

You got it right, of course! :ROFLMAO: First try I got a green screen of death (insider's color is green) midway through the installation (after first boot), then I assumed that it might have something to do with the RAM cache software I was using, so deactivated that and tried again. This...

The project that I have been working on in my free time for the past 3 months was developing watch faces for Garmin watches. I was pretty bad in the beginning, but I'm getting better now, learning new things each month :)

This is the best-looking part of the Nova chassis, the inside:

https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2021/06/28/announcing-the-first-insider-preview-for-windows-11/ Let's see how it goes: If I'm away from the forum for a couple of days, then you know what happened :ROFLMAO:

Please have a look at this thread that is already discussing this topic: https://www.pcspecialist.ie/forums/threads/windows-11-tpm-2-0-requirement-thoughts-and-advice.82575/

From what I've seen, Crucial is a bit better with regards to this. However, they're inconsistent and while some modules will have lots of info, like the below: Some others will be like this and not give you all the info: :rolleyes:

Yeah, those are 2 different things. From what I could see from Jared's video, the difference in density can be minimized if you have a DTR (like my Nova) and can tweak the timings of the RAM, because it seems that this is the real difference of the density: looser timings. But not sure how far...
