I got it on sale for $1599, which is an excellent deal. Regular price of $1899 is too expensive for what it is. The GPU is FHR, but only has 2 fans. The big cooling fan on the back of the computer is very cheap, startlingly loud when that fan is running.

The only thing keeping this rig from a 5 star ratings is the case itself. While it is absolutely gorgeous to look at, the airflow is less than desirable, and the small exhaust fan at the rear is incredibly loud. Other than that, this is a great machine.

This is my.... fourth? Time attempting to write a review. I do not know what deal Bestbuy/ASUS runs with each other, but censoring honest reviews via cherry picking the okay-enough ones is terrible business practice.
Original reviews were of the parts included, pros and cons ((to which honestly there was only three pros and a mountain of cons)). This one is just disappointment-in-text.
-----IF YOU NEED A PREBUILT MACHINE-----
Go elsewhere. This one will run you more in the components to make it not self-destruct under a normal workload.
-----IF YOU ARE HERE FOR PARTS, AS I WAS TO FIX AN ALREADY ASSEMBLED RIG-----
Gut it for what it has and call it a day.
With components being more and more scarce due to global shortages it may be the viable way to go about getting some of these parts ((i.e. GPU)), but it isn't the -best- way to go about it if you have time to dig around.

Love this thing already. The 3070 does a great job with visuals. Only thing I’d change is the fact that the rear fan sounds like an old gen ps4 that hasn’t been cleaned since launch date. Is there something I can do that keeps the fan at a steady rpm so it doesn’t fluctuate because when it gets in the high rpm it’s extremely loud.

Dear Valued Customer,
It's unfortunate to hear that you are not pleased with the Desktop. Is the fan spinning too loud on idle? If during the heavy task, certainly the CPU/GPU will increase and the fan will spin louder. If you wish to investigate this matter, feel free to reach out to me at [email protected] and provide this link for reference. I'll do my best to provide a quick resolution to your case. Your feedback is important as it helps with improvements to ASUS Support channels.
