||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's good but has issues that I don't like. Thermals are pretty bad on this and I don't know why the vents are on the right hand side so when your using your mouse, air Is blowing on it. It also throttles a lot on games like warzone 2. Goes from 170 fps to 60 on ultra. It could be from my item since I bought it open box but I want to return it and exchange it for something else.
