Just got my ES3 yesterday with T7FR. Doesnt happen all the time but sometimes I see screen tearing in the image, does anyone know if this is supposed to happen or could the cpu or gpu have dry thermal paste?

Maybe it’s something with the graphics card.

I will probably change the thermal paste on both the graphics card and cpu as I would assume it was never done.
Just wondering, I have seen people with ES3 that has a graphics card that says Geforce GTX on the card, mine is a rather plain looking black card with no text? Is my card a replacement, if their card a replacement or were more than one type or brand of card used in the ES3X hardware?

I’d say it’s stock, but if you’re curious, you can try to search for the model number or the same type of graphics card and swap it out with another that is identical. I’m not certain if the graphics card is paired with the motherboard.
Just be wary that ES3 uses bitlocker to encrypt its drive, so if you change anything you could possibly trip bitlocker and render the hdd a paperweight. (Unsure how deep bitlocker searches for config changes and/or if the hdd can be recovered by putting back the original config).

This is exactly what I thought as well.
