      Dear Valued Customer,

      We're sorry to hear about the issues you're having with the fan on this model. 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 airflow for better heat dissipation. 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.
      For more information send us an email at customerloyalty@asus.com and provide the link of this review for reference. We’ll do our best to provide a quick resolution to your case. Your feedback is important as it helps with improvements to ASUS Support channels. Please copy a link to this post as a reference.
      Thank you for choosing ASUS.

For further troubleshooting, feel free to reach out to me at customerloyalty@asus.com and provide this link for reference. I'll do my best to provide a quick resolution to your case.

    It's a flamethower with inadequate cooling and too small of a case to add an after market cooler. 100c+ temps with the cpu without doing harding anything. Took it to Bestbuy and they re-applied the thermal paste but that didn't help.

Contact details can be found in the link below. We do stand behind our product and we continuously strive to improve our products and processes in order to achieve customer service excellence. For more information send us an email at customerloyalty@asus.com and provide the case number "N2107000501-0127" for reference. We’ll do our best to provide a quick resolution to your case.

    Good value, at least I thought. Just like the other reviewers said- very poor cooling. A 3dMark Stress Test put the CPU temp at greater than 100 C. Unfortunately Asus support was not helpful and deferred to Best Buy who advised that I return to store. Save yourself the hassle of a DIY that could void the warranty and spend a little extra for adequate cooling.

    Difficult review because this computer has many top components, but is held back by an inadequate air cooling system. The cooling was loud enough to distract from my enjoyment of the system, prompting me to reassemble most of the components into another system case. Now itʻs quiet and a joy to use.

    I got it on sale for $500 off, case has one fan only which is very noisy, cpu fan is small and noisy too, replace that with be-quite fan for 9$, replace CPU fan with Vetroo V5 for 35$, and 3 extra 120 mm PWM fan $30 so total 80$. Plus spent 4 hours. Replacing case is not bad idea.

    Great prebuild! Solid internal parts. NON LHR 3080, great value. Heat is a problem. I had to remove the side cover and run the computer open to keep the heat down. Others have had to replace the CPU cooler. The fans are real loud.

    3080 died after 8 months of use

    Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The 3080 TUF graphics card died after only 8 months of use. At the time of purchase this was the only in-stock option available to get a hold of a 3080. The stock case ran very hot so I moved everything into a larger case with better airflow and upgraded the CPU cooler to a Noctua NH-D15. Everything was running smoothly until a couple days ago the GPU fans ramped up to full speed and my monitor went blank. I replaced the 3080 with my old 1070ti and the system boots just fine. However, Asus refuses to service under warranty unless I put everything back in the original case and send it to them. This does not make sense since the video card is the only faulty component and I don't want to lose my entire computer for a couple of weeks. I will never again order a prebuilt desktop from ASUS.

      We appreciate you sharing your feedback on this model as this will aid in any improvements that need to be made. I'm sorry for any inconveniences this may have caused as well. However, the device was purchase as a full system and not as a custom PC and the warranty would cover the entire PC.

    Horrible cooling. No computer of this calibur should have cooling this poor. Returned after consistant crashes and bios showing CPU overheating errors after blue screens of death. Asus, poor thinking on your park- Get smart. Do not spend money moding this case just get a better PC. For 200-300 more instead of buying fans, AIOs and cases you can get a much better PC. Don't buy and mod this PC because of Asus's poor engineering. Asus will refuse to help you and refers you to best buy. You can't even find this model and details on their website. When you register this PC and try to get support, Asus recognizes your serial number as a BestBuy partner serial number and they will refuse to help you and refer you to geek squad. So all you can do is return the computer and leave negative feedback.

    It's an overheating crap can that has been collecting dust, had to turn its turbo mode off to make it usable, air sucks and a small ssd makes feel like I was spit on for how much they charged. It's under the holiday return period so it's about time I regain some self-respect and return it.
