Alder Lake's frequency sweet spot is 4GHz for the big cores, and 3GHz for the small cores. Any higher frequency will improve performance at the cost of much higher energy (20% perfomrance boost with 80% more energy). Source[/URL]]
You should limit the big core to 4GHz and the small cores to 3GHz, your PC will perform 20% slower (but a lot of task are not CPU bound, many are disk bound which won't be affected), but it will be 40% cooler. You can also make different power profiles and switch between them if you need to.

is there a way to ask them to adjust the price?
The overheating issues can be alleviated by limiting the boost clock of the CPU.
Either of these deals seem excellent.

Yes, I believe there is a 30 day price matching policy if you asked. The return period is 90 days so if they refuse you have to return.
I was at costco, saw this and was finally like, ok...my dad got one too. I have been eyeing this for a few months now and $700 seemed like a great price.
Not impressed with the SSD, though. Mine is a Micron QLC SSD. Might swap it out for a better one and more ram. Not sure I need a 980 Pro, but 7 GB/sec reads is hard to beat!
EDIT: The display is stunning! It's almost to bright at max brightness. 2 year warranty is also pretty dope.
