Posted .Dear 3080fanboy,
Indeed, the Desktop PC is decent system overall.
We do understand your concern about CPU cooler. The fan or cooling system is efficient to dissipate heat properly. It is normal for the fan to spin at full-throttle and the laptop will 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 ensure the air ventilations are free from obstructions in order to have an efficient air flow for better heat dissipation. While gaming, please ensure no resource hungry applications are running in the background, this will definitely speak the temperature. The heat or temperature does decreases or normalizes once system resource utilization goes down.
If you need further assistance, please let me know and I will 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.
Thank you for choosing an ASUS product.

Cpu overheats and shuts off
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The cpu cooler in this does not work at all. I launch a game (beamng.drive) and system shuts off in seconds. HWINFO64 shows the CPU reached 100+ degrees C so it shuts off. This happens even though I ran it with the side cover off so it would cool better. The GPU is top notch but Asus pinched a few pennies from the build and resulted in a completely unusable system. I can just build my own PC but I didn’t want to deal with it and went with this, it was a mistake. Now I have to lug this to the Best Buy store to return it. It’s a shame because I really liked the case otherwise.

Posted .Dear PHANTOMN016
There's a possibility that there are background apps and Windows updates causing the unit to perform as it does. What we've observed with the Windows 10 operating system is that once the unit is not being used all background and installed apps including Windows updates will fire up and check for and install updates. This will cause the unit to run a bit hotter than normal and in turn ramp up the fan speed. We would recommend that the user check for and install all updates for all installed applications. Also check for Windows updates and make sure they're installed. multiple restarts are recommended to ensure all updates are installed.

Way too loud
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Plugged it in and it immediately sounded like a datacenter in my office. It is ridiculously loud. I bought it mostly for to RTX 3080 though and the i7 chip so I will see what can be done with some different fans. Definitely think twice if you are purchasing as a gift, because sound will be a big problem without better/quieter case fans.

Posted .Dear Mike,
We appreciate you sharing your feedback on this model. We're sorry to hear about the unfortunate experience you're having with this model. Thank you for reaching out to us. We're sorry to hear about the issues you're having with this model. The noise that is emitting from the computer is known as coil whine. When the electrical current is increased to a certain point, the magnetic field around the coil can cause it to vibrate, which produces the whiny sound. After a short amount of time the noise should go away as the components regulates. However, if it is that the sound is too much for you, then we would recommend that you have this device sent in for servicing.

Decent
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was gaming and streaming fortnite for 5-6 hrs, i never changed any components for the PC, but my temps never went over 65C. However, I didn change case fan and cpu profile so it would turn on after 50C. It is a little loud however but no issues if you use headphones

Easy to setup and was ready to go in 10 min. ready to mine Ether. It's been 4 weeks and has not once crashed or given me any problems.

NON-LHR Asus TUF RTX3080
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.CONS: Poor Case Design with almost No airflow, your components will overheat. (Zero front fans, Zero top fans) Low end RAM (High CAS Latency / Green PCB). Underpowered 750 watt PSU when Asus' own RTX 3080 Tuf product page recommends an 850 watt psu. Poor cpu cooler, throttles at 100 degrees almost immediately under load. --------------------------------------- PROS: NON-LHR RTX 3080 --------------------------------------- Asus' customer support was non-existent when I reached out to them about my issues. If you just want a Non-LHR 3080 then go for it, but beware of the poor cooling, case design & component selection. Shame on you Asus, seriously, do you really not know how to build a desktop properly when it comes to case design & airflow? I find it hard tp believe since you build top notch individual components. BTW they just raised the base price from 1999 to 2099.

Posted .Dear Valued Customer,
It's unfortunate to hear that you received it open box. Have you purchased it brand new? Open-box items are goods returned by customers, inspected by the retailer, found to be in working order, and re-sold at a discount, rather than returned to the manufacturer. You can return for a replacement/ refund. If you have any concerns, feel free to reach out to me at customerloyalty@asus.com and provide this link for reference.

Returned, but it does have a 3080 in it...
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this, but never even opened it. I was thinking of gutting the GPU, but I ended up getting a 3080ti for my rig. If you have money to shelf out for a better case, get this and gut the system and connect it to the newer case. Make sure you get plenty of fans and good air flow, maybe a Corsair 5000d Airflow.

Mixed bags
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Only bought this prebuilt machine because I have no way to get a mark gpu. It’s a cool looking rig uses quality components, but why isn’t there a front intake fan? This type of case seems to work ok if it’s a blower style gpu but not for ROG fans that blow air sideways. An intake fan would greatly help the temp but it most likely void your warranty. Mixed feelings about this design.

Posted .Hi Tim, thank you for leaving this review. Usually our pre-builts are designed based on what components are included within the device and depending on those components our engineers will decide whether or not certain features are required, like an intake fan.

Amazing, but only after some alterations.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good system, but much like other reviews have stated I had to make some alterations in order for it to work. When I started the computer as shipped, it would shut down after less than 5 minutes of use. After switching out CPU cooler and adding more fans it now works flawlessly.

Great graphics, but runs hot
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.PC looks pretty sick. Side glass is a nice touch. The 3080 plays everything I have without any issues. Seems the system could benefit from some better cooling, though I dont think it's enough to steer someone away. Overall it's still a good system!

Power house for a good price in today's market
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great machine. Powerful, fast, with lots of storage nice to look at with the LED. Great all-around graphics card. It can get a bit hot and requires a lot of airflow or cooling to keep it from throttling. It would also be great if the LED could be easily turned off.

Poorly Built
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would not recommend this system if you're buying to use it as is. The only way it makes sense is if you're going to take the parts and rebuild in another case with better cooling. As is, the system has insufficient cooling and throttles aggressively. The main components are good quality, (Asus Tuf 3080, 11700kf, Asus B560-G matx motherboard) and the case is very stylish. However, the only cooling is a very underwhelming and ugly air cooler and 1 single 92mm rear fan that absolutely can't keep up. This airflow setup would probably work on a budget build with like an 11400f and a 1660 super, but with this hardware its just not enough. Beyond that there are some other weird choices... like putting an unlocked 'K series' processor on a locked B550 board and including ram with no heatsinks with an open glass window. This is a weird combination of good and bad; but if you're planning to use it as is the bad wins out. That said, its a great deal for the parts if you're looking to build your own system with a different case and cooler at least.

We certainly understand your concern about the build quality of the Desktop PC.
It is a well-built computer that went through intensive quality control testing and inspections, and there was no problem found as far as the cooling system is concern while running power-hungry games or applications.

Bad cooling
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bad cooling, great graphics card. ASUS used a cheap CPU cooler in the computer and case fan is very loud. But graphics card are hard to come by so overall it is probably OK especially if you can change CPU cooler and add more fan.

3080 Gaming, BEAST!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wow! This thing is an absolute beast. Right out of the box it worked perfectly for gaming. The Air Cooler can easily be replaced with an AIO to get the most value out of your CPU thermals and otherwise, you've got a heck of a rig with a 3080 TUF in it. 5/5 Highly Recommend this rig!
