View wishlist“Blade Hawks Extra Large RGB Gaming Mouse Pad, Extended Soft LED Mouse Pad, Anti-Slip Rubber Base, Computer Keyboard Mousepad Mat (31.5 x 12 Inch)” has been added to your wishlist
I could buy but be aware of the details
Product works perfectly. Be aware there are no expansion slots for drives the only way to expand is to replace the two drives with larger ones. There is only enough room for a laptop size and drive and an SSD card which are housed near the power casing. The compact case an expansion limit is that way but the power of the PC which works very well. So far no problems. The PC did not come with a lighted keyboard and mouse, this is a mistake in the photo I believe made by Asus and not the seller. All in all a very good experience between me and the seller.

Working well so far
I have had no problems with this machine so far. I have been using it for a month. I am making this review to clarify that you will receive “Processor 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-11700F @ 2.50GHz, 2496 Mhz, 8 Core(s), 16 Logical Processor(s)” cpu. I just pasted what the systems settings said in my machine. Since I saw a comment that read that the description and the headline were different which I did not notice. Just to clarify you will be buying a 11700 card not the one in the description. I honestly don’t know the difference between the cards but I wanted to clarify what you will be buying.

Asus needs to rethink this case
As much as I love Asus, this one needs some serious fixin to work as intended. The addition of a water cooler for the Intel I7 fixed the CPU overheating issues. Two more fans keeping the case compartment temp down is going to help the RTX 3070 last a lot longer. Since I had read about most of this going in.. I was prepared. The only wonky part is the latticework case side I had to create to attach the water cooler radiator and fans that replaces the original glass side. Kinda clunky looking, but runs like a champ now. All my gaming at higher fps and no thermal shut downs. To sum it up…all this upgrading would have been super simple with a full size case. With the included case Asus turns a 20 min job into a short day job. Love Asus – intensely dislike this case.

Amazing Desktop
Fans are a little loud during gaming. plenty of storage. all around an amazing Gamming rig

loud fan
I have been using this desktop for about 3 years now. The one bad thing I would note is that the fan runs loud and sounds like a jet aircraft taking off from a aircraft carrier. Other than that I have absolutely no complaints about this thing. I think if your just getting into PC’s and you don’t want to have to build your own, definitely buy this thing!! After 3 years I’m still getting amazing FPS and graphics and she still hasn’t slowed down. The I7 has handled everything I have threw at her so far. If you also fancy lights, this thing has plenty of them and all customizable. So buy this thing and have fun!!!

Just to clarify (Re: storage)
So, I have the same model but with the RTX 3080, but wanted to address the post that claims you can only fit 2 hard drives. This is false. It already comes with 2 (for mine/the 3080 model, it comes with a 500gb nvme in the gen 4 m.2, and a standard 2tb HDD). That said, I added 2 more hard drives to the 2 that were already installed (and I can fit at least one more SSD, probably 2, and likely 3 if I swap out the HDD – plenty of room and plenty of SATA). How? Easy. There are 2 m.2 slots (1 is gen 4 [under heat sink], and the other gen 3), so there’s 2 hard drives. Then, the bay behind the PSU where the HDD is can easily fit a few more.Alternatively, you could also use that 2nd m.2 slot to put optane memory in (which will effectively make your average HDD perform as good as anything else using something like primocache).Case does stink though – very difficult to address thermals, but I managed to mod everything and get by just fine w/out an AIO/water cooling (I added 2x120mm fans to the front, replaced the rear exhaust with a noctua, and replaced the stock CPU cooler with a vetroo v5 [largest that will fit in this case], and I rarely go above 80 C cpu temp when torture-test/benchmarking. Not the best, but it’s fine/well within spec. I also took the replaced 90 mm fan to use as a top-rear exhaust (make sure to use the “silent” adapter/cable so it doesn’t sound like a jet), and then used the fan from the old CPU cooler as a top-front intake (didn’t expect this to help much, but it actually made the biggest difference. My hunch is that the case blocks most air on the front-top, rendering the top 120mm fan mostly useless and not much fresh air for the CPU cooler. But that 90mm intake on the top-front is helping to pump in enough cool air that the front fan can’t)

Make sure to upgrade cooling before even turning it on!
I was able to get this exact computer from Best Buy for about $500 less than itâs currently listed at. One major thing I noticed: the ventilation is awful. It has one case fan and a cheap CPU fan, and thatâs it. Be prepared to upgrade to liquid cooling, and add at least one more case fan right out of the gate. Reviews elsewhere explained that this had a tendency to overheat and shut off even from just updating Windows. So I didnât chance it and upgraded cooling before ever even turning it on. Otherwise this is an awesome rig for the price ($1600 at Best Buy).
