A fan blade broke off my 7900 XTX mid gaming session, I was playing the Last of Us 2 for about an hour when i heard a slight rattle noise from computer then within about 60-90 seconds it turned into loud clank and grinding noise, and i found the blade at bottom of my case.

@nixternal This is my recommendation for you scenario as well. I learned you end up blowing more money trying to keep an aging machine afloat, instead of making an initial investment in a solid base machine build that can be expanded later.

Go with #AMD all the way, and a mid-range #Radeon GPU won’t set you back too much. I don’t recommend a CPU with integrated graphics due to some performance bottlenecks, plus the last Ryzen APU I got was great but didn’t support the newest PCIe standard…

From my perspective, the #RyzenAI HX 390 MAX series has a very bad value proposition over $1,000.

- For #Gaming, you have RTX 4060M **LAPTOPS** at $800 with a decent CPU.
- For #AI, you can make a good PC for $1,500.
- For battery life, there is a thing called a MacBook.

That's probably why they're not being pushed to the market so hard. Pricing wise, it doesn't make sense.
