    Great Overall Gaming PC

    After 4 days with this machine I can say that overall it is a great gaming computer. The build quality is excellent with all black cables and great cable management behind the back panel. There are two sticks of 3200 ram, an Asus dual 3070, an NVME with a heat sink and an Asus B560-G motherboard. I was really pleased to find the motherboard is high quality with large heat sinks, decent looks, built in wifi 6 and a good amount of i/o’s on the back. Playing games yields great frame rates even at 1440p. The GPU stays right around 70 C but the cpu is a little warm around 75 C. User benchmark shows “UFO” across the board with gaming at a 150% of their reference values. Things I would change would be to add an intake fan, there is room for a 120mm on the front, replace the plain, green ram with something a little nicer looking , and get a larger outlet fan. The 92mm outlet fan really has to work. Overall a great machine at a reasonable price given the strange GPU environment we are in.

    Decent system with great build quality

    This PC build is used for cards like 1660, 2060, 2070. They decide not to change anything and add the RTX 3070 and 3080 inside but still keep the system at 1 system fan only. This is not ideal for max performance. The CPU only use air cooling rather than liquid cooling. So need extra work when you get this if you need a cool and decent performance system. The build quality is really good and the GPU is ASUS RTX 3070 Dual with 2 fans. The CPU is a 11700F, need image output from the GPU. GPU only has HDMI and mini display port. If your display only has a USB-c port, then they don’t work. They will include a basic keyboard and mouse inside. Cords are also inside for expansion.

    Great value after just a bit of work

    Great value so 5 stars from me. Nice MB, 3070, latest CPU and well built good looking package that matches my Asus ROG XG279Q monitor. Yes, stock cooling needs immediate work as it is loud and ineffective (CPU hitting past 90C and throttling) with a jet-like noise. The good news it is easily fixable on ~$100 budget ($70 Corsair hydro CPU cooler from Best Buys, a $10 120mm intake fan that I had laying around and a Noctua NF-A9 92mm exhaust). Took a little creativity mounting the radiator for hydro cooling at the top but otherwise no complications. Also needs BIOS tweak to let that CPU unleash its power beyond the 65W TDP when all is ready (don't do it with stock fan!).

    Good build with stupid airflow design

    Price is OK. Build quality is good. But case is terrible with only 1 small rear exhaust fan and stock CPU cooler fan. In order to make it work, replace CPU cooler, remove the PSU shroud cover and add 2 front 120mm fans + 1 120mm and 1 92mm on top.

    I purchased this system in June 2021 and received these components: Motherboard: ROG STRIX B560-G GAMING WIFI GPU: ASUS DUAL OC 3070 RTX Memory: 2x8gb 3200MHz SK hynix Power Supply: Great Wall E750 80 plus gold The cable management and general build quality are great. Windows started up on first boot without any problems. ASUS didn't install any malware/ads beyond their monitoring software. My ambient temperature is 23C and while running HL Alyx I get CPU temp around 80C and GPU temp around 55C. The case has a lot of mesh holes, which I think helps the cooling. As other reviews list, there is only one 92mm case fan. There aren't any clear mounting holes for additional top/front fans, though the motherboard has a second chassis fan header. I'll consider adding a fan near the CPU or upgrading the CPU cooler.

    You need to gut it

    Think we all know why were here and why one would buy this(3070 lul). I did like some of the others have suggested and I gutted this pc. Thus I've had an excellent experience so far, however gutting a pc isn't easy/cost effective for everyone. I would really recommend this only if you can do what I did and put it into a better case, mount some fans and use a better cooler. I think the 3070 Dual is an excellent gpu and it stays so quiet and so cool but you need a better environment for it. Same for the 11700f, just not as cool temp wise lol. Also like some have said the build quality is surprisingly quite good all around. The motherboard is actually really quality as well, it has like 6 or 7 USB ports on the rear IO, 2.5G LAN, bios flashback, 2 type-c ports, 2 M.2 slots and its on the B560 chipset. All really good features I think and personally all one would really need. Idk it definitely has its caveats but the 3070, the 11700f for what it is, and motherboard I rate high.

    Cooling trade-off is worth it (will change later)

    Great RGB effects and a SOLID build of a computer with a great graphics card. I was surprised to see the cool effects when turning this on for the first time. I do appreciate the handle, which makes me take it around easily to other rooms for game play. The CPU is the latest generation as well as the memory speed and PCIe, which beats 10th gen offerings. The brand is reliable as they do build the best motherboards, so you get a good Strix one with this. Price also is very competitive, so the cooling trade-off is worth it (something I can easily change down the line myself).

    Fantastic after 1 month. Fans tend to be quite loud when at full rpm but hopefully it will keep it cool effectively. Upgraded to 32gb of ram. GPU / CPU and hardware all good so far. Definitely a good upgrade option if you can get it at the right price. Perfect for 2k 60-120fps gaming IMO. I’ve had significant improvement in frame rate and fewer drops particularly in VR even at higher resolutions.

    Great build quality, only downside as you have seen is the cooling. I made the purchase of an H100i Elite Capellix in white, and a corsair icue 4000x. The case was just a personal want and not a necessity for the PC to function great. Temps run great now and looks even better with upgrades still to be made

    I would give this 4 stars but I think I think it's gotten some unfair reviews. This case has so much ventilation and plenty of room to add case fans. I've added two 120mm fans as front intake and temps are perfectly fine. There's even room for another 120mm and probably a 92mm fan up top if you want even more airflow. Sure, it would've been nice if they included more fans, and maybe a better cpu cooler, but the case looks great and the build quality and cable management are top notch. Given the price of gpus these days, $1600 for this system is a great deal.

    Bought this for my son instead of upgrading the video card. This on came with a non-LHR 3070. Upgraded the processor cooling with an NZXT AOI. Doesn't miss a beat, good quality build.
