Stock cooler currently, or some larger tower? 7600 would be manageable with the Wraith Prism if that is the stock one!

PS. Source & damages? Also, benchmarks - just want to see how far behind the 2700x has fallen.

Nehru Place, around 60k, stock for now, cooler already ordered :) No plans to OC much, got the non "X" 7600, both were available.

Very glad with this new everyday setup of mine. Got the Surface Pro 8 (base i5/8GB/256GB) thinking I will use it just as a note-taking and annotation tablet to go along with my Helios 300, but it has been the most productivity-enhancing purchase I've made in a long while. Now the Helios just stays at home and this goes with me everywhere. I can even play GTA V at 50fps on normal-high settings on it if I want to, altho that runs off an external SSD. The keyboard is lovely, the pen input is fantastic, and I got the tablet + keyboard for less than the base 11" iPad Pro M2. The screen and speakers are excellent - Dolby Atmos videos actually sound damn good and have spatial separation even when playing via just the device speakers (as long as the Windows Movies & TV app is used). The only thing that is amiss is battery life: really wish Microsoft would use AMD chips instead, but the 5-6hour battery life is just about enough to make it through half a day for me. Still, a fantastic device which fits my needs even better than I expected and I am very happy using it, and can wholeheartedly recommend at a discounted price. Not worth it at the asking MRP.

Also got the M720 Triathlon recently for a wireless mouse, and it makes an excellent replacement to my double-clicking G502 as well. Thanks to the customisability, it is an able productivity replacement despite having fewer physical buttons.

Managed to run ubuntu but after updating; it creates another wlan0 which conflicts with the wifi device that was originally created. Need to debug a bit but first impressions are that this is desktop level fast. got 16G version as the original plan was to run pytorch as it has NPU. but I gotta deal with ubuntu first.
