New machine arrived.
Got scammed (i.e. I didn't think the performance hit would be too bad and only realized the SSD slot is M.2 only so I can't use any of my SATA drives) and the HDD is 5400RPM so loading anything is incredibly slow, but once it loads it's pretty decently fast. Need to use a modded Ryzen Master for OC though.
Not going to use it today for benchmarking as a result. I ordered a PM981 (970 Evo Plus OEM from China that's like half price) and another 16GB DDR4 2666MHz stick of RAM both for 200$CAD total, or about 1/3 of the price Lenovo would have charged me to put them both in for customization. Once they arrive, I'll pop 'em in, put the liquid metal cooling in, and run the benchmarks then. I'm expecting pretty fast speeds.
Tuesday at the very latest, but maybe the weekend if Amazon gets them to me my tomorrow with their 1 day shipping from Prime.
