This pc is great for gaming and streaming. It can run over 1000 fps on optimized settings for gaming and is best for your first prebuilt that you can later upgrade. It does get pretty hot so I suggest when buying this pc to also plan to get a new case in the future.

This seems to be perfect for my kids' gaming obsession. Bought IBuyPower before and suffered multiple malfunctions. This ASUS is all that the other was but more and doesn't fall apart. It is very good quality.

Love this product!! I agree with most of the reviews about the fans being a bit loud, but it isn't terrible. It's a good deal for what you get though. So, I'm happy.

Insufficient cooling negates the good specs

To put it bluntly, I do not recommend buying this gaming PC. The specs on it are awesome with the 3080 and i7 processor but there isn't sufficient cooling in the system to make this PC function properly. There are no fans pulling air into the system and the lone fan exhaust fan is small and cheap. Unless your planning on gaming in a ice box this PC is going to overheat. There is also insufficient space to mount a liquid cooler in the front of the case due to the size of the GPU. For something that should work out of the box, this PC just doesn't. As soon as I loaded up call of duty the CPU temps hit 100 degrees C and the GPU was pushing low 90s. I returned this PC and I do not recommend buying this system, the design flaws regarding cooling the system greatly overshadow the quality CPU and GPU included.

Dear BrettM,
We certainly understand your disappointment and the inconvenience this may have caused if you are concern about the excessive heat being generated on the PC.
The PC's cooling system is adequate to dissipate heat efficently. Any PC with the same hardware configuration, regardless of the manufacturer, 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 spike the temperature. The heat or temperature does decreases or normalizes once system resource utilization goes down.
If you need more information about the PC or other ASUS products, please email me at [email protected] 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.
Thank you for choosing an ASUS product.

I cannot believe this is an ROG machine, let alone even Asus. While the case looks nice, the only thing it has going for it, everything else is bad.
There is ONE 92mm exhaust fan on the back, NO I take fans and the tiny cooler on the CPU is insufficiently sized fan.
It's so incredibly loud, it literally sounds like a truck with the hood open with. You can't lower the fan speeds as you'll see why below.
This computer is utterly useless. With the above stock cooling, I was hitting 70-80C while downloading games in Windows.... Seriously? Running games, forget about it. 5 of the cores thermal throttled. Games would microlock up.
Tried adding more fans but the way the case is designed, you can only fit one 120mm at the top and a 92mm. The front can only accommodate two 92mm fans. Rad for liquid cooling fit nowhere.
Even with all of that, it thermal throttled. Thermal paste was applied nicely from the factory and still fresh making complete contact.
Avoid this Asus at all cost. I thought after loving my ROG G15 Strix Laptop that this would be another quality machine. I thought wrong.
Returned this piece of junk and exchanged for an iBuyPower which is put together infinitely better, has better quality components and didn't crack 60C once even while gaming at 1440 on Ultra. Would have never thought but couldn't be happier.

Dear Administrator,,
We do understand your concern about thermal issues.
The cooling system is adequate to dissipate heat efficiently. Certainly, adding additional fan or upgrading to a higher CFM will improve cooling. It is normal for the Desktop 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 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 spike the temperature. The heat or temperature does decreases or normalizes once system resource utilization goes down.
