This computer is a beast
I had bought a computer with an RTX 4090 and it was worth around $4,000.00, the perf was good but the price was high. I returned it and ordered this one with an RTX 4080 for almost half the price, and the perf is comparable. My monitor is 4K/60fps and I can run NFS Unbound and AC Mirage at stable, smooth 4K/60fps, the perf is amazing. Real good value for the money.Very silent compared to other machines.The only con is that the case is a bit large and also the memory is only 3.2GHz, they should have gone with speedier mem, but the processor is top notch.Overall highly recommended.

Great Value Gaming PC with Minor Temperature Issue
Here’s a revised version of your review:—I bought a refurbished gaming PC three months ago for under $2000, and it’s been great overall. I did notice the CPU temperature jumped to almost 100°C from 60°C and the fan got very loud when Intel Turbo Boost activated. I disabled Turbo Boost in the BIOS, and the issue was resolved. For gaming, the graphics card performance is more important to me than the CPU speed. I understand why Intel enables Turbo Boost by default, but turning it off worked better for my setup.

Great for the dollar especially if you get it on super sale
I got it on prime day sale so super great value for the dollar. I only got the 16 gb RAM version (note some of the specs say it is 12gb of RAM but actually it is now 16 GB it seems for the smallest version).Some people say it has been running loud, and that may be the case for theirs, they may have bum fans or are pushing it hard for upper tier gaming. For me, I’m probably only running it mid-upper tier gaming reqs and it barely even makes a sound then. Otherwise it is nearly silent, the barest hint of a whisper from my fans just running daily ez loads. However, when it boots up it runs the fans full blast for a second before they go down to normal speed and if they’re running full blast then they are a bit loud. Mine runs at good heat, no overheating problems so far. Only thing I’m not a huge fan of is that it doesn’t come with another copy of windows 11 on a stick or something, but you can make a recovery drive yourself on a 32gb+ removable drive/thumbdrive. Other than that it comes with a bit of windows bloatware so I take that off, but otherwise great machine so far. I haven’t used the tech support, and it comes with only tiny amounts of instructions, but I gave them 5stars for tech support as I haven’t had to use it. The instructions manual is tiny, like 4 pages, I would prefer more documentation but you can make your own documenting your parts nowadays pretty ez. A few things about setting it up are that it has a “turn the power supply off/on” button that is different than the main on/off button that will control the power supply itself supplying or not supplying power. So that is handy but you need to know what it is or you might think it won’t turn on when you just had the power supply turned off to begin with. Also, the main power button is on the front panel a bit hard to tell where it is (they show it in the manual but a bit hard to see anyway). Finally, you need to plug your monitor/HD TV connection into the ports on the graphics card rather than the main ports for displaying on the back (this is standard for computers with graphics cards but may help newbies and I had forgotten it myself).It comes with a mouse (not a great one but it works) and keyboard (not bad not great). But no monitor, so you need your own. And no internet cables I don’t think either.Overall I like it but I think I will want 32GB of ram (I will pull the 2x 8GB chips it came with and replace with a 16 x 2 pair, or just add a 32 + one of the 8 already in it).Also it comes in a pretty large box that itself is inside a gigantic shipping package, not that heavy though overall.

Decent computer, bad fans
UPDATE 2: Temps started going to 60C when idle… I returned the computer. It lost access to the bios and talked to ASUS. They had me update the bios and drivers, which I’m turn stopped the whole computer from booting. ASUS said the motherboard was most likely defective a most likely a defective fan, and wanted me to send to them.UPDATE: In about a week, the base idle temp went from low 40C now to mid 50C on average. When gaming it now goes to 90C instead of 70-80 as it previously did. Changed out the loud terrible exhaust fan for a better Noctua fan and it is a lot quieter and moves more heat out too.Got this computer on a black friday sale, so prices were lower than usual. First off, on appearance this case is really good looking, with a bonus carry handle, wifi adapter, and headset hook. Not a scratch and very high quality case.Inside was decently laid out, easy to see parts, easy to access (But doesnt use thumb screws to my avail). However, there is no slots to attach more fans and extra SSDs (So i ended up screwing my other SSD under the power supply shield).For gaming, this thing is quite good. The DDR4 RAM could have been better, and frequently maxes on gaming. The 3060 inside is secure, good quality, and doesn’t struggle with any games that I have (Used on Darktide, Cyberpunk, UBOAT, and Total War games).Now onto the bad…. The fan situation. I am aware that the 12700F tends to run hot, around 40-50C baseline and up to 80s during gaming. The computer’s stock CPU Fan is…. pretty trashtastic and the box itself only has *ONE* 80mm exhaust fan. The fans are quite noisy. Doing even simple games makes the fans sound like they are about to reenter the earth’s atmosphere and explode. There is a constant buzzing to the fans, and when talking to tech support from ASUS they only said to update drivers, which does not fix the fan situation. I just purchased 2 more fans and a CPU fan to attach to this.If you are to buy this, buy a good CPU fan and a better exhaust fan, and probably zip tie another fan to the front intake to help with airflow. Despite the “Good airflow” in the ads, its very poor overall.Overall, good computer, REALLY bad fan / cooling situation. If fixed, this would be markedly better overall. Solid 6/10. Dropped a star due to failing CPU fan in a week.

Llevo usándola 3 dÃas, he jugado todos mis juegos en ultra a 144 FPS, con una temperatura de CPU de entre 60 y 70 grados centigrados, nada mal ningún problema.Las memorias RAM se podrÃa decir que son genéricas pero cambiarlas por unas buenas no le veo necesario.Habrá que ver como se va comportando el equipo a lo largo del tiempo, por lo pronto le doy 5 estrellas

Solo hay que cuidar los mm si se quiere adaptar un refrigerante liquido ya que el espacio esta muy reducido para adaptaciones de ese tipo pero de serie funciona muy bien

 Esta computadora la encontré en promoción del Black Friday ya que fue una importación de Estados Unidos. Me llegó 3 dÃas antes de lo estimado y respecto a la PC llevo 3 semanas con uso y cumple con lo que necesito. Normalmente es muy silenciosa, solamente en juegos muy demandantes como RDR2 hay lugares en donde el ventilador entra en acción pero personalmente no lo veo molesto. Además, he tenido productos ASUS ROG y nunca me han fallado.

Como empiezo?…Primero la PC tiene excelente Hardware, pero no está mejorada para que su funcionamiento sea lo máximo, es como si te entregaran un lego para que lo continúes mejorando o personalizando a gusto, pero el precio si es muy alto para lo que llega.1.- El procesador presentaba altas temperaturas llegando en ocasiones a 80c sin forzarla investigando me encontré el detalle que el holding del procesador crea una curvatura que no permite que enfrÃe de manera correcta y que es necesario comprar un holding que solucione ese problema.2.- Al comprarle un enfriador lÃquido por traer AURA adquirà el ARGB y me encontré que la placa base tiene el puerto, pero por alguna razón no cuenta con los pines, por lo que me vi en la necesidad de comprar un hub que hiciera funcionar las luces pero ya de manera manual por asi decirlo sin la sincronización de AURA.3,- El gabinete no tenÃa las dimensiones para el disipador y aun asà acumulaba mucha temperatura interna la tarjeta de video y el ventilador que trae de fábrica no es suficiente por lo que a comprar un kit de ventiladores para expulsar la gran cantidad de temperatura que crea la GPU.Al final invertà otros 4mil pesos para que la CPU de 30mil funcionara sin alguna complicación que le quitara tiempo de vida y mejorara la estética del mismo.Por tal espero les sirva mis recomendaciones y tengan manera de compararla con otros productos en venta que si tenga los pines de ARGB para poder sincronizar las luces y no tengan que invertir en más aditamentos como yo

La computadora trabaja de maravilla y llegó un dÃa antes de lo esperado.Lo único que pude detectar como pequeño inconveniente es que se calienta un poco, no es mucho; con un ventilador extra se arregló.
