Hey guys as we all know its the holiday and the sales are rolling in. I have quite a nice desktop but I would like to get a low cost entry level gaming laptop that I can take on short trips and even have something for just around the house. I have come across the hp pavillion and the acer nitro 5 on sale for 500. HP has an intel I5 9300 1050 3gb graphics card 8gb of ram 256gb ssd. The Acer nitro 5 has an intel I5 8300 1050 4gb graphics card 8gb of ram and a 1tb hdd. I like the look of the HP better because of the thinner bezels. I also kind of like the green but thats not a huge deal. what ive been able to find on how they run games has been pretty similar leaving the larger slower hard drive or the smaller faster ssd as one of the main decision points. What can you all tell me overall about these 2 that will help my decision in which I should get. Any help is appreciated thank you very much in advance. I should add im looking to play things like raid shadow legends wow smite witcher 3 skyrim and other things of varying genre's but they do not need to be at ultra as this is budget obviously. Some high and mediums are perfectly acceptable. Id prefer to avoid low but again its budget for I expect that to happen on some titles.

Just to add a final bit to this topic Linus has a vid over this cooler and explains briefly how and where the higher profile ram fits and the lower profile ram. Thanks for all the help guys.

The specs diagram is a good idea and helpful hustler thank you

cost isnt a concern here for me hello but thank you

Hey guys Ive been getting money together to get an Intel i7-9700k cpu asus rog strix z390 motherboard and 16gb of g skill trident z ram. I was wanting to get the Noctual NH-D15 cooler and found that is does fit in the corsair 750d case but the one thing that person questioned and was whether the ram would fit depending on the ram's profile and it was never answered fully so I would like to ask this question for myself here. Would this Noctua NH-D15 Cooler fit with this ram or is there profile to high? thanks in advance for all the help and feed back anyone provides.

so I would be looking at the P400S TG for the Silent with full Tempered Glass Correct?

is that full side panel window or just partial or do you choose when you order i cant tell from the pictures sorry, nvm ic the 400 is the full tg and the 400s is the acrylic my bad. If Im wrong please let me know how to make sure to get the full tg panel

yeah I prefer Corsairs grommets but was willing to sacrifice for the look lol Thanks

man Thats 2 bad the sli is the only thing keeping me from getting so far. The only other issue I read about, not a ton mind you was a little quality control when it was received. Did you notice anything when you got yours. Power button going out shortly after using for a week or 2 and broken parts?

The Obsidian 750d BTW Sorry for missing which I had been looking at

IK I was saying that because I wasnt sure if he realized that the test was only done with one card but thanks

would the results be different running 2 770 cards though instead of a single 980? 2 cards would seem to output more heat.

I hadn't heard about heating really either no one really mention much about it until gamers nexus review of it

So Ive been trying to narrow down cases for my bday present and I came down to the Corsair Obsidian as I love how well they did on the interior of the case and the NZXT S340 Elite because its still pretty well done but sexy as hell. I was going to go with NZXT because I was willing to bite the proverbial bullet on the interior not being as good as Corsair for the sexy look but when watching more videos on the Nzxt it was mentioned that this case is not very good with heat and not good for more than 1 gpu (shoot I run 2 NVIDIA 770 cards). So ive been digging around trying to find something that looks awesome like the NZXT and has a good interior. Yes I could just go with the Corsair but after looking at some gorgeous cases I really want one with the Tempered Glass panel and good interior design and the Obsidian doesnt look as sexy. Ive looked at the be quiet 900 pro but its interior seemed to have a couple issue id prefer avoid, I dont like the Corsair crystal series, too much tg, The Enthoo evolv had a few mentions of fitting issues depending on the hardware and only had 2 usb ports on the front instead of 4, in win 303 was a bit bare for my taste and doesnt come with any fans. Please help. Greatly appreciate the help in advance.
