Yeah, I really like Razor laptops. I almost bought one myself. They look nice, have good components, and review well.
The Asus board naming is confusing
The motherboard is $149.99 at Micro Center and $119.99 once you get the $30 dollars off with the CPU Bundle.
Not returning the 64, it was only $28 dollars more at Micro Center.
Bequiet will help that ugly problem
Make sure to change settings to dx12
Current gen AIO are gimmick honestly especially if you are comparing it to any higher end air cooler. They need to find ways to make mounting air coolers better though.
You have to take your system out a dense room, only way to not sit in a 80 degree room with the AC on

Pretty much agree with everything you said. Stats wise, Noctua is the leader in all cooling. AIO's were quaint, and are great for low-key builds, but I'm more of a efficiency > aesthetics, so for me, its Noctua till the death of me. On the whole room temp thing, I've been testing it recently, the ambient temp is irrelevant when it comes to Noctua, it simply cools better. Now if could be my layout but I only have one fan on the cooler and a case fan helping with the push/pull set up. My AIO had two fans and a huge radiator. Noctua comes out the winner every time.
My last component comes Monday (my 4tb 860 evo). So, it's time to paint my case. Have any of you ever painted a case before? If so, can you share some tips and tricks? I'm only painting the orange part on my case. I wanna do a base of navy blue, with red and black drips (my color scheme for the build is black and blue, with highlights of red). I have no idea what I'm doing 
I put my PC in the oven at 400°. Noctua still kept it coolYou have to take your system out a dense room, only way to not sit in a 80 degree room with the AC on

Finally fixed my wifi woes....
I pay for 250mbps from comcast and wired connection I get that easy....and all my consoles get that...but the way my home is setup, my PC is on the wifi...but the saving grace is that I have a 5ghz modem which is faster than the 2.4ghz...or so it was supposed to be. I was getting terrible speed the past month...only like 13mbps which was pathetic, even slower than the 2.4 which usually gets around 30 around the whole house. Luckily reading up on it showed me about changing channels and how congestion can usually be the culprit. Changed it and now getting solid 90-110mbps on my wifi connected PC.

Can anyone provide some pointers for this issue my friend is facing. He built a new system a few weeks ago(Ryzen 5 2700X, GTX 2080 Ti, Asus Rog Crosshair Hero VII, 16GB DDR4 RAM). Lately his system will shut down randomly and at first I said it's gotta be something overheating. The Power supply is an 800w Plus Gold I believe. His CPU was overclocked at first but I set it to default clock speed, and monitored the temps in game and after about a few COD matches while the game was finishing and showing the scores the system shut down. The GPU temp was around 71~74c and CPU lower. He has adequate cooling(4 front case fans pulling in air, top case mounted fan blowing air out as well as rear exhaust fan. He had one mounted directly underneath the GPU on the bottom of the case blowing in air so at first I told him try removing it because I wasn't sure if the GPU wasn't blowing out air but it seems like it's pulling in air so removing that bottom fan didn't make a difference really.
What could be the issue? I couldn't stay much longer to check it out but it couldn't have been the temps since I saw the temp right before it shut down and it wasn't near the rated temps(89c for the GPU I believe.)

Random question. Any way to use a computer as a second screen for a smart phone? I could've swore I did it some years back but don't remember how. My friends son bit his girls phone and the screen is black. Was trying to see if hooking it up to a pc can show the screen on there.
