Both are on sale at Costco, at the moment.

I got a rig with a i9-14900 with a 4070ti Super, but with local brownouts I was hoping either one will cover it. Hoping to go with a cheaper option, but if the group consensus is the more expensive option I’ll go for it. Thanks for the help! 🤞🤞

Sorry to be irrelevant, but I hope that you know about the voltage problems that many 13th and 14th gen Intel CPU's have. If you haven't already, I would advise you to look up some BIOS configurations to prevent damage until Intel releases their microcode update this month.

It’s not irrelevant at all, as I’m aware but appreciate you mentioning it. Since it really needs more attention right now.

With that said, I’ll trying to look through Lenovo’s BIOS settings and see if I can find anything related to the issue. I know most companies try locking down over clocking settings. 🤔

And for now, I’m intentionally avoiding using the rig until the Intel update for the issues released, and have a UPS. It’s not optimal, but I’m trying to be patient lol. sigh
