Don't know where people are getting high temps on this thing. This system idles at 45-50 celcius and running black desert on ultra 1440p it goes to 70. I might install 3 rgb fans but this is ready to play out of the box. The exhaust fan is a little noisy so I will change that.

Great computer bought it open box to off set the cooling not a huge fan of all the rgb so changed the case . Overall was a great buy no other way to get a 3070 with out offering a sacrifice

Turned it on for the first time and Holy Jet engine it was loud. It shut off after 5 seconds. Kept on trying and eventually got a CPU over Temp Error. Was never even able to get to the set up screen. I know I was taking a chance after reading all the negative reviews. I even bought an AIO to have installed. Im glad i didnt touch it. Not worth the effort and headache. If you are reading this RUN!

I got mine today! It’s a non lhr one!! I have to say you need to update the cool system. But it’s really not easy.

Read other reviews before purchasing. After setting up halfway thru the pc, the stock fan runs really loud then ends up having a screen pop out and say my CPU OVER TEMPERATURE. This is only halfway setting up the pc not even at the desktop screen yet. Very disappointed.

Great pc when you upgrade the cpu cooler and ram only things I changed are case ram and cooler, Still have no clue how to control fans plz help

Loved the PC at first but after a year and a few months motherboard died. Spent a lot of money on this PC and just very unfortunate for the motherboard to just die ok me like this. And warranties just expired recently so I doubt they are gonna do anything to help me

This computer is good, especially for the graphics card, and it is very good for me so far. But, there is definitely some things you will need to fix for it. The cooling, for the CPU, is so bad. Like tremendously bad. I ran CoreTemp, a software used for measuring tempatures, and on IDLE, it was at 80 celsius. Now, don't stop reading there, because the computer isn't bad, but you have to get ready for some upgrades. If your looking for how to fix your cooler for your CPU, your gonna need to get your hands on a CORSAIR - iCUE H100i ELITE CAPELLIX CPU Cooler 120mm . THIS IS THE ONLY ONE THAT I AM SURE WILL FIT IN THE CASE. You can try and go bigger, but DEFINETLY not recommended. I had a tech guy set this up, and it definetly was a little bit of a challenge. We had to remove the cover, that was covering the powersupply, to be able to fit it in there. YOU NEED to do this I am pretty sure, with this case specifically, there would be no airflow if you put it with the powersupply case on. After this upgrade, it's not loud, it's not bad, and runs beautifully. The rear fan isn't even utilized because of the AIO. For people who want a slower and less handiman fix, you can buy a PC case, and have Best Buy get a technician at their store to move each part of the PC to a new case. Definietly will take a lot longer, but it is definitely a lot safer. It now runs at 40db, which is about the same sound as a quiet library. I did method one though, I attatched my temperatures after the new install.

I got this after having read reviews about the bad cooling and fans and stuff, so I planned on upgrading it eventually. But holyyyyy, I didn’t expect it to be as bad as it was. Straight out of the box, this thing can’t handle games and sounds like an old vacuum cleaner. Loaded up games like PGA 2k21 and Warzone and the cpu temp was in the 90s and topping out at 100. CPU cooler and exhaust fans (both 92mm) were a joke. Not nearly enough airflow to handle the heat in that tiny case. Also, the thermal paste looks like it was applied by a child who thought they were fingerpainting. Terrible. I ended up getting a Noctua NH-U9S off Amazon. Most coolers/heatsinks are too bulky, but it fit perfectly and lowered the cpu temp a good 20 degrees while gaming. I also got a couple extra 92mm fans and mounted one as an intake and replaced the exhaust fan as well. This lowered it another 10 degrees or so. Usually around 65-70 degrees while gaming. Not bad, but could still be better. THEN, I did what I should have done in the beginning… upgraded the case. I bought an NZXT H510 case, which comes with 4 120mm fans pre-installed and has more than enough room for all the components in the ROG setup. I kept the same cpu cooler, installed everything in the new case, and it’s now running at around 50-60 degrees while gaming and it’s not loud at all. Plus, the case has some nice rgb lights that add a little flare to the look. Overall, it’s worth it if you’re willing to spend the money on the case/cooling. Especially with 3070s being limited in availability and sometimes overpriced, finding a rig with a cpu and gpu of that quality for that price is great. There definitely is some value in it. I consistently get 120fps in warzone and every other game I’ve tried runs really smooth. Gave it 2 starts simply for that. HOWEVER, if you don’t want to put any work into a pc and just want to game out the box, don’t get this.

The case is good quality and the i7 Rocket Lake is hopefully the fastest i7 we'll ever see on 14nm. If Intel hopes to stay in the ballgame they will have to make 10nm happen soon. The 3070 is the reason were all here, the Asus Dual model installed is a great one that cools well. Speaking of cooling, the GPU is the last time I'll use the term, "cools well". This thing is a cooling catastrophe. The CPU showed max temps of 100c in hwmonitor. It has to be throttling like crazy. Why? Because to cool this entire 750w tower is a single 120mm exhaust fan that probably cost $5 at the most. There are no intake fans at all. The CPU cooler is the OEM intel buzzer. $30 in fans and the cheapest AIO on Amazon or NewEgg would make this a 4-5 star rig. Why Asus, why?

This overall is a solid built desktop however it has 1 very specific issue currently that all units are shipped with. Some people may have noticed that it is turning off because it is overheating. The Bios has an issue with the Fan Curve. The Default Fan Curve is set to Standard in the Bios but the Fan Curve for it is actually supposed to be the Silent Fan Curve which doesn't kick the fans up until it reaches 72C which is too little too late because it will thermal throttle as high as 94C from what I've seen. The Silent Fan Curve in the Bios is actually the Standard Fan Curve that it should be set to. Hopefully Asus will issue a Bios Update and fix this on future iterations that are shipped out. To fix this issue, you just have to hit Delete or F2 on the Asus ROG Screen before Windows loads. Click on the Q Fan Control and then choose Silent for each of the fans. Hit Apply To and choose all of the Fans. Save and exit. Problem solved. You can also set a custom fan curve and adjust it correctly. GPU is a Asus Dual Non-OC. The ram doesn't support XMP. I wouldn't say that it is quiet once the fan curve issue is fixed but considering how difficult it is to get a GPU currently. This is a decent deal.

Honestly I think Asus is taking advantage of the gpu shortage. It's a decent price for the parts, but CLEARLY the stock cooler isn't good enough to these hot intel CPUs. The temps with the side panel on as intended regularly hit 100c sometimes just with minor stuff. The CPU is thermal throttling like it's no tomorrow! You can go the cheapo rout and take off the side panel for a bit extra airflow and dropped temps. But more dusting will be needed. Alternatively you could just upgrade the cooler. But keep in mind that the computer case is alot thinner than your typical PC case, so either a low profile air cooler or an AIO will be needed if you want your side panel to close. It's a shame but even so this is a GREAT deal in the current hellscape that is PC buying/building right now.

Everything about this ASUS computer is impressive from its customizable light display pattern to its boot-up speed. However, when the insides get warm, watch out! The installed fans are not adequate in keeping you from getting the blue screen of death (BSOD) or an automatic shutdown. If you are computer handy and savvy, you will need to install a more efficient cooling system. Also, be aware that the case is tight, so your cooling system will need to be scaled to fit in the tight space. If you use your computer for light usage, then you will probably never notice any issues. However, if you are a gamer or use resource-intensive applcations, you have been warned.

This prebuilt offers some pretty quality parts for the price. It includes a Strix motherboard, strix GPU, a 512GB M.2 drive for the operating system and another 1TB HDD, and the 11700f i7 cpu. The case leaves something to be desired though as it only has 1 exhaust tower fan in the rear and the CPU cooler is the stock one that comes with the cpu. Add some extra fans and a better CPU cooler and this is an awesome machine.

---------------------------The good--------------------------- $1600 at time of purchase Asus B560 motherboard w/ Wifi 6 and BT 5 Intel Core i7-11700F Asus Geforce RTX 3070 Dual WD SN530 512GB nVME SSD Case has front top mounted USB Type C and the RGB lighting is fun No bloatware (if you don't count MS office and Asus Armory Crate) ---------------------------The Bad--------------------------- 3200 Mhz RAM runs at CAS 22 timings A single 92mm exhaust fan (annoying sound even at low speed) and poor CPU cooler makes for a loud system that is constantly thermally throttling the CPU. The case is too small to fit 120mm tower-style cpu coolers. ---------------------------Conclusion--------------------------- It will be a good PC only if you upgrade the cooling solution. The stock setup is loud, hot and will not provide the full performance the CPU is capable of. Which is a shame, as the components would combine to make a solid gaming PC at a great price. Get a 92mm tower style cpu cooler (e.g. be quiet! BK030 Pure Rock Slim 2) and at least one 120mm intake fan or a 240mm AIO liquid cpu cooler. If you are not comfortable upgrading the cooling, do not buy this pre-built.

I bought the 3080 version and we all know the cooling of this prebuilt is a joke. Here is mine beefed up with 240mm aio and 3x 120mm fans. You can do the aio in front but only be able to screw 2 bolts, and 120mm on top you'd have to zip tie. But now at least the CPU is running 65c under full load and GPU is properly cooled. Really hope Asus address this cooking issue since it is not acceptable for a $1600+ gaming PC. ( 3080 GPU won't fit after 240mm aio, but 3070 should fit, that's what I have in it now)

Happy that this was in stock during this latest mining boom. A few cons worth noting: -The case only comes with 1 exhaust fan, and no intake fans. Filling those fan slots is definitely a must, unless you like frying your PC components. FYI, no space to screw them, so get your handy dandy zip-ties ready. - The CPU cooler they used is an absolute joke for 11700F (aka a pocket sized fusion reactor). Definitely get a better cooler on there ASAP. Thermal throttling happens way too often to say its properly cooled. -The case is mostly proprietary, and upgradability to within the case (not the motherboard) is near non existent past zip-tying fans. A case swap would be recommended, but isn't 100% necessary. Now, the pros: + Mine shipped with the Asus Dual 3070 non-LHR. + Solid MOBO so far, been able to tighten my ram timings no problem. +RGB on the case is pretty sick in my opinion, NGL. Bottom line; if you want a pc with a RTX 3000 series that is in stock often, and have some extra fans & a cpu cooler laying around, go for 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.

System: - 2 x 8gb 3200mhz ram - Motherboard with 4 ram slots - ASUS RTX 3070 with dual fan - Power supply 750watts gold+ Pros: - RTX 3070 at $1600 at my time of purchase was a good deal...the supply was really low and price was so high - Small case with handle on top for easy access...I kind of like the style of my case - The system is great for most games and activities you can think of - The system works and sets up is easy... I have had bad luck 3 times with prebuilt desktop from ibuypower and cyberpowerpc... It is nice to bring the desktop home and be able to use it rightaway without the need to call tech support or send it to manufacture and wait for 2-4 weeks for return just to find out they still mess it up - Not many bloatware like HP from my memory Cons: - The side is plastic (not glass) and does not have easy access feature - The case is so small that it makes upgrading or adding more fans a bit difficult - 1 x 80/90mm case fan at the back....the only fan!!!!!!!!! - The CPU can get really hot....around 60C with only a few chrome tabs....with games, it will get constant 80C Upgrade: - I add in 5 x 120mm rgb fans for $30 from amazon: 2 front, 1 top, 2 bottom...The CPU temp is much better....40C with a few chrome tabs and about 70C-80C (avg 75C) with games - I plan to add in Noc CPU cooler in the near future which hopefully get the temp to be in the 60C with game Overall: - Great purchase with decent set up...If you don't have the time and effort to build your own, it is a good buy for $1600....obviously, when covid is over and the supply is better, $1600 is overpriced...I would be super happy with $1400-1500

I've had it for about a month now and it works beautifully. As almost every other review has said, the stock cooling isn't sufficient. I went with a Corsair AIO and installation was decently simple, provided you know what you're doing. Once the new cooler was in place it can handle almost any game at 1440p at the very least. Overall, I would heavily recommend this if you're fine with opening it up to change out the cooler. Even with the $150 or so to get one, it's still a great value.
