I would RMA it with Intel.

Go with a K vs a KF. Its worth having a back up GPU with the CPU’s iGPU. 4070TI will last you a long time on the current MMOs you play and any new ones you try.

If you get an AIO get an Arctic Liquid Freezer II. You can honestly use a 280mm if you can’t use a 360mm. Just don’t use a 240mm.

Upgrade your monitors before you think of a GPU upgrade tbh 3060ti is plenty good for 1080p

Yeah dude. That’s like buying Premium fuel and putting in a Prius.

I love iStats!

You’re better off getting a 13700k vs a 12900k. Same amount of threads but better performance and IMC. Also is cheaper too I belive.

Congrats! Enjoy the build!

You’re gonna see a huge increase in performance. And your 1% lows are gonna be so much better.

People who buy Alienware currently deserve to be ripped off.

Noctua NH-D15 is still top dog for air coolers.

Because on the road, there is no better device out there that can handle photo and video editing better. The battery life is so insanely good. I got my laptop in July and only have 9 battery cycles on the device. Its reliable, has air drop (content creators in teams know how important this is to your work flow in bad wifi areas), and the screen is fantastic.
