    On start up computer sounds like a wind tunnel after any load at all is put on it. Rear fan is too small for application and CPU fan could be larger too. Suggest a larger Case because these two fans cannot expel enough heat if any load at all is put on system.

    A pre-built is probably the only way to guarantee yourself access to 3xxx-series RTX cards while mining remains as profitable as it is in 2021. This particular pre-built machine is one of the best I've seen without quality parts throughout.

    I'm not even sure what's wrong with my PC. Same issues as everyone with the heating, I installed an AIO and No problems with temps. However, I have been plagued with a blue screen after blue screen. The windows file they gave me was corrupt and I had to download a new one online and boot it up with a USB version. After that I was finally able to get back into the computer but now I'm plagued with blue screens. a different error every time. "Critical structure corruption error" "attempted execute of no execute memory" Running diags on memory shows "critical hardware error see manufacture for support" If it's not crashing it works well, but seeing as I get a crash almost every half hour its unusable.

      Dear SusieQ,

      We do understand your concern about thermal issues.



      It is normal for the Desktop PC to generate excessive heat while under heavy load especially during, WINDOWS Update and antivirus scan. When system resource utilization is high, this will generate more heat than normal and tends to trigger the fan to spin at full-throttle. It does decreases or normalizes once utilization goes down. Please ensure the air ventilations are free from obstructions in order to have an efficient air flow for better heat dissipation. While gaming, please verify if no system resource hungry applications are running in the background, this will spike the temperature and may cause auto-restart. It does decreases or normalizes once utilization goes down.



      Should you need further assistance with the product, please email me at cl-rodel@asus.com and I would be more than happy to help. Or, you are always welcome to call Product Support Hotline at: 1(888) 678-3688. Also, you can chat with an ASUS live support agent at: http://bit.ly/AsusLiveChat.

      Dear Pahhh,

      I do understand your concern about the cooling system in the desktop PC.



      The cooling system is adequate to dissipate heat efficiently while under heavy load, without doing an upgrade. It is normal for the PC, with the same hardware configuration and regardless of the manufacturer, to generate more heat than normal while under heavy load especially during gaming, WINDOWS Update and antivirus scan. When system resource utilization is high, this will generate more heat than normal and tends to trigger the fan to spin at full-throttle. Please check if the air ventilations are free from obstructions in order to have an efficient air flow for better heat dissipation. Also, while gaming, please ensure no resource hungry applications are running in the background, this will definitely spike the temperature. The heat or temperature does decreases or normalizes once system resource utilization goes down.



      Should you need further assistance with the product, please email me at cl-rodel@asus.com and I would be more than happy to help. Or, you are most welcome to call Product Support Hotline at: 1(888) 678-3688. Also, you can chat with an ASUS live support agent at: http://bit.ly/AsusLiveChat.
