Topic: Scheduled Delivery DatePosted: 07 Jul 2020 at 2:22pm |

I've waited over a month for my Lynx 3 and today is finally the day it is supposed to get delivered. I am anxiously waiting but very excited, in the mean time I am looking at different things I could eventually upgrade on it, any suggestions?

When did you order yours? I ordered on May 25th and still in Phase 3.

You should have no need to upgrade anything. Your proc will last years, you already have 16 GB of RAM, a very solid GPU for gaming at 1080p, and a fairly speedy primary drive. When it comes, plug and play, and see what YOU think.
Look at "Software Discussion">"Must Have Software" for some suggestions for some maintenance programs you might like to have. This is pick and choose, you don't have to have them all. You need CCleaner for sure, and I recommend Malwarebytes for Anti-malware. The free versions will do nicely.

You can add a little bluetooth/wifi card. I added one that I had laying around to the empty PCI slot on my lynx 4. There was barely enough room for it under the graphics card. The 2070 super they installed is a PNY blower type card. If it were any larger or if the video card had regular fans I may not had room for the additional card. Other than that I may also go to 32 gigs memory only because I sometimes do a lot of video editing but I'm in no rush to do so.

Anybody think it might be a good idea to get another or larger SSD?

The very best upgrade you could get would be an M.2 NVMe SSD. You have one M.2 slot on your motherboard. Just plug in the NVMe,and fasten down with a single screw. No wires or cables. Since you only have one, you might wait and see how big you'd want it. They get cheaper all the time.
