In a couple of days it would be exactly 2 years that I have bought this and used this computer. The first year and a half the computer ran perfectly with no problems. The speed was great the graphics was good I had no complaints. Within the last couple of months I have noticed the computer crashing. I thought maybe it was because it was outdated and drivers in such needed to be updated. After maintaining the updates it still would reset and restart every so often. As of yesterday a completely shut off and was unable to load Windows. It continued to start restart over and over and over again. I'm having a guy look at it right now and he ruled out bad memory, and he also ruled out a bad solid state drive. He thinks it might be a bad CPU. As of right now the computer is under diagnostics and a computer lab and the guy has no idea what's going on with it. With a computer that is less than 2 years old and has paid over $1,000 for it should not be having these kind of problems. Especially when all I do is play three to four computer games. I don't even do an awful lot of web searching on that computer it is pretty much specifically for gaming I don't even let my kids touch it. So if it is a hardware problem which it looks like it is then I got sold a computer that had faulty parts. The last computer that I had lasted for 10 years with a couple of updates here and there. Nothing like this has ever happened to me it's such a short period of time with an expensive item like this Read more

I had tried out cyberpower and ibuypower before I got lucky and got this Asus Pc. The quality is so much higher and it works with everything I throw at it. The amd cpu and gpu are a perfect match. Read more

First one I bought didn’t work because the motherboard was defective I’m assuming and it would not turn on no matter how many methods I tried. I asked Amazon for a replacement and they made it happen the night of! I got my replacement 3 days later and it works! I was disappointed about the first one not working but hey I’m satisfied now. :) Read more

EDIT 2023: This desktop is still going strong running the full Adobe Creative Cloud for work (Premier, Photoshop, & light After Effects). When working in After Effects I definitely feel a slow down in my renders. Only shame is that because of the form factor the biggest GPU I've been able to figure out to fit is an RTX 3060ti. If I could figure out an RTX 4080 or 3090 that'll fit in this chassis I'll pick it up along with 64gr of DDR4 CL16 and a CPU upgrade, but then at that point I'm not sure if it would be worth it to just buy a new PC with DDR5 capabilities. In any case, this computer has been a solid workhouse and never gave me an issue until I started doing larger AE file renders. If you are looking for a PC to buy you can't really go wrong with this one. I bought this PC for work reasons, not for gaming reasons. I am a marketing professional who builds websites, designs print media, and edits video. I have a client which needed 18 videos edited within a week and a half and I knew my current system was already on it's last legs. I needed a cheap upgrade to not only get me through this project but pay for itself in the long run. This computer fit the bill. Thanks to another reviewer I was able to learn the upgrade capabilities of the tower and hopefully I could help somebody here with some additional information. TL:DR in it's stock form it'll work admirably for professional work with Premier, Photoshop, and Browser open simultaneously. 20 minutes of complex edits takes 7 minutes or less to render. If you want to OC the PC to edge more performance there is certainly headroom to do so. Also, use the Plexiglass which comes with it. It'll allow more ventilation than the metal side panel. You will need to purchase an additional hard drive for storage. SATA power cables are included. Purchase a SATA III data connection. The Noctura 92mm cooler fits easily (as indicated in my photo). I wouldn't doubt if the Noctura 120 cooler fit with the Plexiglass side. (The Plex increases the width of the chassis a couple mm. Fitting the Noctura lowered my load temps considerably. My CPU idles at 40 C and never goes over 70 C. The board is fitted with an AM4 mount. The rear chassis fan is 92mm in size. It is a 3 pin but is upgradeable to a PWM 4-Pin. You'll need to enable PWM control in the bios. What you might not know is that there's a slot in the front portion of the chassis with holes for a 92mm or a 120mm intake fan. If you decide to use this make sure you purchase a SATA to three pin fan connector to connect to one of the million power connections provided by the stock power unit. Over a dozen free connections are stuffed in that secret hideaway in the bottom of the chassis. You'll need to remove both side panels to do this work but it's easily done. I cut a couple holes in the front of my unit for increased airflow. With the new fans it certainly uses them. See picture. I'm using MSI Affterburner and Ryzen Master while video editing. I've been editing in Premier on "Full" with photoshop and After Effects open with no hesitation. I'm also using a dual monitor setup. The GPU idles at 33 C and the CPU idles at ~40C. According to the BIOS (using command prompt) I found out this motherboard is upgradeable to 128GB RAM. However, it only has two memory card slots. The highest I see upgrading this PC to in the future is 64GB for this reason. No problem. With the fan setup the GPU runs steadily (33C idle) with the following overclock settings in Afterburner: Power Limit +120%, Temp Limit 89C, Core Clock 156MHz, Memory Clock +1000. During benchmark test the GPU tops out at 62C with those settings. I also receive an indication that the primary limiter to increase performance is available power. Another reviewer here upgraded their PC with a 750w power unit although I don't feel the need. I have tried clocking the GPU to 205 MHz and 1500 Memory however I did not experience appreciable performance gains and since this is a work computer I prefer stability and longevity. The PC has never reached higher than 70C during even the most stressful benchmark tests. This PC will pay for itself in one job and I will be able to use it considerably over the next year or two. I see no immediate need for greater performance. PS: If you're using Premier, make sure you select the correct rendering engine under your Project Settings -> General -> Renderer -> (CUDA). Also, there is no CD/DVD drive or SD Card Reader. Make sure to purchase those seperately. Read more

It's been amazing. The tempered glass side gets a bit misty and dirty easily. But everything inside is awesome. Except the fans and motherboard. But it was pretty dang cheap for the stuff you get. Read more

I have the 3070 and Ryzen 7 5800x. This machine ariived well packaged and well built. The problem lies in the case and the cooling, and that's about it. I'll be ordering a new case that'll be better suited for cooling as well as buying one of those fancy shmancy 240mm dual fan + CPU Liquid cooler setups to replace the generic CPU cooler that's non-RGB and less effective. I paid ~$1699 for the tower, and frankly the components in it are worth far more than this given the current crisis around GPUs, chips, etc. So spending an extra $200 to give these components proper cooling and sexy aesthetics? Sold. I'm down. My use: I am a software developer who games here n there. I use my CPU & RAM like mad, so this build immediately received a 3200hz pair of 16gb Corsair RGB Ram sticks. I had to remove a wonky metal plate that was separating the case and blocking big ram sticks from being installed. That was annoying. I'll be using this to play APEX legends as well, but frankly this is a write-off for work and I needed a powerful tower rig. You can't beat these components for the price. -Get a new case: This one has awful air flow... it's literally a single 120mm non-rgb exhaust fan -Get yourself some real RAM. 16gb was a joke -Replace the CPU cooler. Regardless of whether or not you will push the CPU, you'll wanna protect your investment with a proper cooling device. -Buy this rig and upgrade the setup...you won't find a comparable price for all these components and frankly it's the best value at this price point compared to other pre-builts. It's a beast of a machine. Read more
