Just ordered a Custom Built ASUS ROG Chimera G703VI-XH74K!

Have to give out a thank you to Donald ( @Donald@HIDevolution) from HiDevolution for his assistance and help...just have to curb my impatience till I get it!

 

Welcome to the forum.

 

Thanks

 

Congrats. When will you be getting it? I'm interested in how it handles heat.

 

I also purchased a ROG G703VI from HIDevolution via Amazon.com. Similar configuration to the original poster's, except that I went with 64 GB and did not replace the thermal pads. Running Divinity Original Sin II with the default "extreme" Gaming Center settings the CPU goes to 4.3 GHZ, GPU to 1.97 GHZ, and the CPU and GPU temperatures stabilize at around 75 C. The fans are quite loud at these settings so I'm playing with headphones on.

 

Awesome~ congrats man and welcome to the HIDevolution Gaming Team. Let me know if you want me to help you tweak it once you get it. Here are my tweaks:

1- Uninstallation of all the Windows Store Garbage Apps like 3D Paint, Print 3D, Alarms & Clock, Feedback Hub, Maps, Groove Music, News, Weather, etc.
2- Removing all Windows 10 Privacy Invasion stuff like Telemetry, sending your keystrokes to Microsoft, automatically installing suggested apps in the background, allowing Microsoft to conduct experiments on your laptop, disabling automatic driver updates through Windows updates, disabling Windows 10 ads, disabling Cortana, Cloud Search etc.
3- Removal of nVIDIA and Intel Telemetry
4- Adjusting a lot of options in PC Settings like disabling Windows Tablet Mode (you have a laptop not a tablet), disabling suggestions appearing in the start menu, disabling automatically connecting to Paid WiFi Hotspots, disabling Game DVR which reduced performance in games, and a lot more.
5- Replacing Cortana with a much better search tool that finds results instantly called Everything which finds any file you want as soon as you start typing even a few letters of its name and it doesn't even rely on the Windows Indexing Service to do this!
6- Restoring the classic Windows Photo Viewer
7- Restoring the Classic Windows 7 Start Menu
8- Removal of the new and useless 3D Objects Folder that appears when you open "Computer"
9- Completely disabling Windows Defender from its roots (including all scheduled tasks and startup files) for those who want to install their own AV. ESET NOD32 Antivirus is highly recommended if you want the utmost security with the least system performance impact.
