Incredible machine! Playing Outriders and FPS hovers around 140. The included air cooler was a tower style with my build and cooled decently and really wasn’t that loud. Mining with nicehash the 3070 reaches a hash rate of 60-62 without me even really trying. Since I’m using this to mind crypto when I’m not gaming I upgraded the CPU cooler to an AIO, the MSI MAG CoreLiquid 240R. Installation was a breeze even though this was the first AIO I have ever installed. I admired the internals and really took time to investigate everything while I had it open. There were a couple of loose connections and the GPU riser wasn’t installed as well as I would like so I readjusted it. I used Arctic MX-4 thermal paste on the CPU instead of the stuff that came with the AIO. While mining, GPU at 100% usage, temps for the GPU are 55c with a 69c hotspot. Before upgrading to the AIO, the air cooling performed awesome but after a while I would notice FPS drops while playing games. This could be due to updates or whatever I did not verify cpu or gpu temps when it happened since I was planning on the AIO upgrade anyway. If you can find this in stock it is a must buy with the market the way it is right now. 100% satisfied with my purchase and I think you will be as well. The image shows my PC after installing the AIO, it does not come with liquid cooling. I do believe MSI would have a grand slam if they started shipping these with an AIO.

Some conflicting stock photos and description info to what I received. Has a A-RBG Ventroo cooler. The kind with a large heat sink with a fan attached. This cooler instead of the one pictured is probably better anyway. Idle CPU temps around 30c. Graphics card is a MSI RTX 3070 Ventus 2X, non-OC. Fans run silent under load. Playing Overwatch the fans reach around 1000RPM and around 50c, with idle GPU temps around 42c. Pretty generic PSU that is not modular. SSD is not NVMe. The SSD is AData and is mounted on the right side of the case where the wiring is hidden. RAM is XPG A10 DDR4 3000. Motherboard is MSI Mortar B460 with wifi. The max RAM speeds this motherboard supports is 2933 and by default the motherboard was set for below that. I think 2666. The quality of the case itself is great. Doesn't feel cheap at all. Wiring and overall build is superb. Pricing this out and building on your own would be cheaper by at least 200 dollars for sure. But I'd gladly that extra cost for not having to spend the time assembling on my own. And getting a solid graphics card from the getgo that has a street value upwards 800+. Had I assemebled on my own I would have chosen a different cooler. I was expecting the one pictured. And would have gone NVMe vs SATA SSD. I wasn't looking for the fastest performing components and had no intentions of overlocking. I consider this a great balance of performance to very little heat and fan noise.

Amazing out of the box, super quiet and fast startup/restart speeds. The temperature even while using the MSI program to control the motherboard which allows a pre-programmed “Overclocked” feature still stays under 49C. The only upgrade suggestions I have would be the power supply which causes minor power throttling and of course RAM. Below I included photos of the pc and it’s core components as well as your options of plugs on the backside (different ram)
