Customer Ratings & Reviews

This particular version of the ASUS ROG Strix G16H is a reasonably priced offering for the parts it has, with excellent cooling potential, room to grow and get upgraded down the line. In short, it’s a reasonably sized, sleek system, performs as a 4060 TI / 14700f system should, capable of playing lighter or older games at 4k60, 1440p120, or more, depending on the graphics settings, DLSS support, and various other technologies that have come to be used in modern games. It came shipped in a box with tons of space between the PC and the sides of the box, with nice, thick foam keeping it in place. It seems very unlikely to receive shipping damage, and is easy to unbox, with nothing but the PC and a small box of accessories inside. They did not include a mouse or keyboard in the package, which I consider a good thing; They’re typically low-quality token items you would never want to use anyway, reducing e-waste. All the parts are standard, which is great! The PSU has standard ATX connectors, the motherboard has a standard micro-ATX form factor, and the case has standoffs for micro and standard ATX boards. You could mix and match any part from this build with any other off-the-shelf PC parts without any problems, which is great for upgradability and reducing e-waste. The only oddity is that the motherboard is powered by an 8-pin ATX power cable rather than 4+4 pin EPS cable, but that’s not a problem, really, just a quirk to take note of. Any other PSU could power the platform regardless. I suspect this is for ease of assembly for the manufacturer. The accessory box includes a 4+4 pin EPS cable for the semi-modular power supply, in case you ever change the motherboard out, as well as a few other cables for extra SATA/Molex power. The power supply is a 750w 80+ Gold rated unit from Great Wall, which is a reputable supplier for many well-known enthusiast gaming brands. The cable management is immaculate, and everything was firmly plugged in and secured. Cables behind the tray are all zip-tied and neatly laid out. Build quality in general is high. There were no loose screws, the GPU was secured firmly by an extra bracket, and there was a minor amount of cosmetic damage on the heatsink for one of the NVME drives. A bit of paint seemed to be chipped off, probably from a screwdriver that slipped. The cable management is very good, everything was fully and firmly plugged in, with excessive slack zip-tied and hidden as much as possible. Even the rear fan cable is tastefully coiled up to minimize its intrusion into the main area of the case. The case design is gamer-y, but not overbearing, and the RGB is tasteful without excess wasted on every single fan and component being RGB enabled. The memory is a bit slow at CL46 for DDR5-5600, but it’s dual channel, and this is an Intel platform, so it’s not that significant, especially paired with a 4060 TI. Although, I would have liked to see heat spreaders, or black PCBs for the memory - they’re just plain green, unadorned. The 240mm liquid cooler is far, far more than adequate for the stock power limits for the Intel i7-14700f. With both the GPU and CPU at full load, the system is whisper quiet. That changes as you increase the power limit, obviously. ASUS' Armory Crate software has very little in the way of options for boosting the CPU's power limits. As a non-K sku, the CPU is not overclockable, but it can have its power limit increased. Turbo mode in Armory Crate will give you a long-term power limit of 100w to play with, in comparison to the stock 65w, but that's a far way off from what the CPU/cooler/motherboard can really handle. Intel’s eXtreme Tuning Utility is able to move the power limit even higher than what Armory Crate offers, and you will need to use XTU if you do not want to use Armory Crate, as there are no options in BIOS to move the power limit up, as far as I can tell. The short term limit is ~220w, for about ten seconds, under both performance and turbo presets. The 100w Turbo preset gives about a 26% performance uplift over 65w, in a pure multithreaded benchmark, like Cinebench. Diminishing returns in terms of performance per watt can surely be found the higher you go, but it won’t make much of a difference for gaming. I would like to see ASUS provide their own power slider in Armory Crate, or in the BIOS. I had expected there to be one 2TB SSD rather than two 1TB SSDs. It's not a problem necessarily, but if you do want more space (in the form of NVME drives) you will have to compensate for the 1TB you're replacing, as you only get two slots on the motherboard. There's six SATA ports on the motherboard, though nowhere in the case to mount additional SSDs or HDDs. However, as previously stated, all parts are standard, and could be transferred into a different case with more mounting options, if you desired. Gaming performance is as you would expect; The case design is more than adequate for cooling the 4060 TI, and both the GPU and CPU hardly break above 60c in their default power-limits of 160w and 65w, respectively - while staying virtually silent to boot. True, native 4k gaming at >60fps is achievable for last-gen games without ray-tracing, and for newer ones, DLSS complicates what "4k" really means anymore. At 1080p or 1440p, you can expect high refresh rates of >120fps in most last-gen titles, or much more in esports oriented games. Hitman 3, on the Dubai benchmark, can handle 4k60 native on ultra (sans ray tracing options) quite handily. Ray tracing performance is again a difficult benchmark to quantify, given the rampant number of titles with differing upscaling techniques and usage of ray tracing to augment the image. In a purely ray traced title like Quake II RTX, the 4060 TI can manage a steady 29fps at true 4k. Much more at lower resolutions. Shadow of the tomb raider benched at >4k60 on ultra, without ray traced shadows, but required DLSS performance mode to achieve the same with ray traced shadows. YMMV depending on the game. 8GB of VRAM is generally considered suboptimal for 4k, but it really just depends on the game in question. In summary, this would be an excellent choice for a gamer looking to get into custom PC building sometime in the future, or anyone looking for a solid quality, non-RGB-bonanza-gaudy, gaming prebuilt capable of mid-high tier performance.

Asus really did a nice job this time with the ROG desktop. Powerful processor, great GPU, AOI to keep the hot CPU nice and cool. They even put in a PSU that isn't the min spec for the system. Since most of you can read, there's no need to rehash the specs from the feature page so I'll go to more specific that might not be included. The system RAM is 32 GB. They use 2 sticks of 16GB Hynix DDR 5600.There are two free slots to allow for upgrading without having to toss out the 32 already installed. Very good move IMO. The storage is listed as 2TB, but it's 2x 1TB WD PC SN560 - Western Digital Blue. The only odd thing is that they include a heatsink for drive 1 but 2 is left bare. None of the WD Blue drives I've used had an heat issues without using one, so it's not needed but it would have made for consistent aesthetics. Asus's AOI cooler does a good job of keep the CPU tamed while gaming. I never worried about thermal throttling during any gaming session - which is mostly Diablo 4 currently. The noise isn't bothersome, but if you're play without headphones or low volume you'll know the fans are blowings. I'm glad Asus opt'ed to get a higher than required PSU unlike an old ROG desktop I have. The 4060 TI only requires a 550w, but Asus put in a Great Wall 750 modular PSU and included extra cables in case you chose to add more SSDs (no more room for NVME drives). The front port has 4 usb ports, 2 USB A and 2 USB C. I wish they'd have included more USB C ports in the back since I'm coming across more periphs that use USB C and I'd hate to have those wires dangling from the front of the case. As for gaming, D4 is handled easily as well as Last Epoch. These aren't real demanding but once raytracing on D4 is implemented it may be another story. With 8GB of VRAM you'll be limited on what you can do with Stable Diffusion. It renders pretty speedy, but you'll have to tweak your settings for the limited VRAM. This years mid range ROG desktop is a great machine for anyone looking to upgrade or get into PC gaming.

So far, this computer has been great! Its taken everything I’ve thrown at it, like streaming and gaming at the same time. Probably nothing too strenuous, but it played PalWorld with great visual and a higher frame rate no problem. It never stuttered or anything. Will soon try video editing on it as well. It’s my first desktop in quite a while and by far the most capable computer I’ve ever owned, but still very simple. Set up was a breeze, and enjoy the little headphone hook on the side. Nice, convenient touch! I did get mine from the outlet right when buying it new went on clearance, so at the price it was (about $850) definitely worth it!

Normally I like to build my pc’s but time won’t allow it currently. I have had some poor experiences with pre built machines but this is ASUS which I’ve had some great experiences with their grfx cards. This thing is big! It was packed great and the installation setup was a breeze as it should be. Even before updating drivers I got an incredibly high score on 3dmark time spy test 13370 which would probably be a lot higher now that I updated the bios and drivers. Some keys that caught me by surprise. So quiet! Obviously it’s well made. Cabling is nice and neat inside the case. Zero issues experienced except one with my router which was the routers fault and fixed easily (mentioned it so if anyone has this issue). I was getting WiFi to drop and went to my router settings and took off smart connect. Simple fix and not reflective of anything with this pc. It runs games incredibly fast, Bluetooth works flawlessly and looks amazing! It does not come with a keyboard but most gamers will not use it and have their own mouse and keyboard anyway. Great awesome beast of a machine!

Just got the 2024 ASUS ROG Gaming Desktop - Intel Core i7-14700F less than a week ago and have been putting it through its paces. Before I get into more of the technical specifications and test results, I’d like to say this is my very first pre-built gaming desktop. I have built many custom PCs over the years, majority with ASUS motherboards, video cards and plenty of overclocking. This ASUS “Republic of Gamers” tower came well packed and ready to go. Included is a small box with a few extra internal power supply cables, a SATA cable and external antennas for the built-in Wi-Fi adapter. First time you power it on you may hear some faint “bubbles” which is the fluid traveling through the CPU liquid-cooled system, nothing to worry about, it went away in a couple of minutes. Completing the pre-installed Windows 11 64-bit operating system should take less than 20 minutes depending on how many steps you skip. There is no additional bloatware installed, just MyAsus Support App, Armoury Create and Aura Creator that allow you to customize your RGB case lighting and fans and manage the rest of the hardware drivers. Now onto the exciting stuff - it came configured with 32 GB of DDR5 HK Hynix memory (2x 16GB DIMMS), and two Western Digital Blue 1 GB SSD M.2 NVME Gen 4 drives. The OS is installed on the first drive, and the 2nd drive is empty, formatted as the secondary/data drive. The description said it comes with “2 TB SSD”, which is true, but could be assumed that it’s a single 2 TB drive. Some may prefer to maximize all available/contiguous space in a single drive/partition, but from a performance standpoint, having two drives could be better, or you could set them up in a RAID1 mirror for redundancy, which will drop down to only 1 TB of usable capacity. The 2024 Intel 14th Generation Raptor Lake Core i7-14700F is quite a workhorse, great for everything you throw at it, especially gaming. It comes with 8 high performance cores that can run crazy fast at up to 5.4 GHz and 12 energy efficient cores that are limited to a still very fast 4.2 GHz. The 20-cores combined with the 28 threads and 28 MB L2 cache and 33 MB of Intel Smart Cache makes this desktop great for multi-tasking, graphics rendering, content creation, productivity and photo/video processing and of course some serious gaming. What makes this even more of a gaming desktop is the GPU - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti video card w/8GB of dedicated DDR6 video memory. It also supports the latest DLSS 3 (Deep Learning Super Sampling) and Ray tracing that provides a fluid gaming experience for many games with high quality settings turned on. I have tried a few of my favorite older games such as Call of Duty, Rise of Tomb Raider and Grand Theft Auto V with high visual settings @1080p resolution and easily got over 100 fps. You’ll be able to play any modern AAA games at high or ultra settings on a 4K display without breaking a sweat. Moreover, you can easily upgrade the video card to a more powerful model down the road if need be. I also ran the classic 3DMark Time Spy benchmark out of the box with no updated drivers, no optimizations or overclocking and got a commendable score of 13,586 @4K which is better than 70% of all results, putting this ASUS ROG gaming desktop at least in the mid-range gaming desktop category, with plenty of room for expansion and upgradability. Other notable features are 8 total USB ports, 4 in the back and 4 in the front - 2 x USB-A 3.2 and 2 x USB-C 3.2 in the front/top of the case. Also 1 x HDMI and 3 x DisplayPort ports on the video card. There is also the HDMI and DisplayPort built-in to the motherboard, but those are not enabled/usable in this configuration. A 2.5 GbE Ethernet RJ-45 port as well as Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX211, Bluetooth 5.2 and both front and back classic headphone and microphone jacks are included. ASUS also includes a very nice external Wi-Fi antenna that has a magnetic base and a 30” long cable, so you can position it higher up for stronger signal reception. All in all, I would say this is a very well built mid-level gaming desktop that can easily be upgraded to be even better and should satisfy most gamers that also need to get some work done. It is also a good value, you’ll end up paying at least a couple of hundred more if you purchased all the same components and put it together yourself.

I have been hunting for a serious desktop for several months and, given my previous extremely positive experiences with ASUS and their products, they were at the top of my list for any pre-built. I have absolutely found all that I was looking for and more in this rigser I use my PCs for a wide variety of tasks, including running multiple monitors for work and for gaming for both me and my kids. I don't typically get into the bleeding edge games that require insane builds and definitely don't need anything like a dedicated workstation for work but somehow this PC managed to absolutely blow my expectations away on both. Before I mention performance, I just want to say that I think this is insanely clean build. The cable management is top-notch, the RGB is not overly obnoxious, and I love all of the small design details of the chassis that ASUS threw in just for fun. It looks like a gaming PC, but it somehow manages to remain quite handsome. There are two USB-C and two USB-A ports at the top of the chassis where they're easily accessible alongside a headphone port and mic port. Everything you need right there at your fingertips. Quick Highlights: Cinebench R23: - 27832 multi-core score - 2076 single core score. Notes: The multi-core score rivals CPUs that had significantly more cores and cost more than this entire PC less than 5 years ago. The single core score is also representative of just how capable the i7-14700F is. It's incredible to see just how much the CPU space has advanced since 2018. UserCPU Benchmark: - Every component scored "outstanding" - "UFO" score for Gaming, Desktop, and Workstation Notes: The NVMe drives are incredibly quick showing insane read/write times and scoring well above the benchmark range. The GPU is listed as a standard RTX 4060Ti, but it has ASUS branding and I think they've cooked it a bit to get more performance, though I can't verify that. Gaming is buttery smooth. The most graphically intensive game we typically play is Destiny 2, which this rig will play with max everything at 1440p with HDR and hold 110-130fps. I previously ran an ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14, and it would struggle to hold 70fps in D2 with max settings. For my work needs, running multiple monitors doesn't even begin to stress this rig; there is plenty of headspace for multiple programs, webpages, etc. Overall, I find this pre-built to be an incredibly good value. I feel ASUS really delivered with this pre-built by optimizing components to price without compromising performance in any significant way. At the end of the day, it's all I need and more than I expected and that's a good place to be.

Set this up today and performance seems great. One word of caution if you are ordering this. I had it shipped and noticed a different model number came. I took it to the nearest store and they checked the one they had there with the same SKU that was on my order and it also had a different model number but the also same SKU as in my order. The model is G16CHR-71470F096W. The specs were the same. The memory was listed as 16G*2 and the SSD was listed as 1TB*2. So I set it up and it has, as expected, 2 16GB memory modules and interestingly, 2 1TB M2 SSDs. One is the system C drive and the other is set up as a D (Data) drive. The graphics card is the same 4060Ti. Everything else seems to be the same too, so I just decided to keep this since the 2 drives works for me. The 1 star deduction is for the model number confusion.

One of the best prebuilts around in the current market. Pulled the trigger on this after debating a full rebuild from my last pc since things were jumping too far ahead for my old I5-9600k and 2060. The I7 in this is crazy fast and is able to do so much alongside the 4060 allowing for smooth high res gaming. The 32gb ddr5 ram may look tacky with the basic no cover green sticks but packs quite the power. Other than the badics, the Asus AiO is clean and keeps temps low, rgb is nice and motherboard is real modern. Only kind of pain is while the case is amazing, it does lack alot of drive storage bays for norm ssd mounting. All in all, 10/10 prebuilt.

This ASUS ROG gaming desktop is a beast! The i7-14700F and 32GB RAM make everything super smooth, and the RTX 4060 Ti handles games like a champ. Plus, the 2TB SSD gives me all the space I need. Fast, powerful, and totally worth it.

Great desktop, easy to set up and fast! I've been using it just over a month, and have had no problems at all, it can actually keep up with me and all of the Browers/apps I keep open!

Im an old school gamer mom, now grandmom (lol) I love the New era gaming. I bought this PC so that I can play VR games and keep up with my grandchildren. I wanted something with high quality specs that wouldn't break my pockets. So I found this PC. It was simple setting it up, as I've set up many PCS in my past. The speed that it took the connect to the internet was great the ram and the CPU was sufficient. The hard drive space was good but I did connect an external hard drive as well so that I can increase my gaming abilities. I'm happy with this purchase. I told my son about my purchase and told him that he needs to get him one as well so that we can play games together.

The product is ok. It is not very expandable internally. The slots are pretty much covered by the video card so additional SSDs cannot be inserted. Also there is no place to install HDD/CD/DVD/Blu Ray devices. There are a lot of USB connectors so additional devices can be connected externally. There is a lot of empty space that they could have lowered the height of the unit 3 or 4 inches. The unit comes with a keyboard and mouse that provide matching lights to the unit itself. These lights can be controlled and are customizable. The default processor speed is 2100 but can be put into turbo mode to get 5000+ when needed. The processor is liquid cooled.

Me and my father have had to return this pc two times. The first time, the sound didn’t work whatsoever, headphones in, or speakers connected. The second time (after 5 more days of waiting) the pc came in. This time, the sound worked, but not for long. Mid session, I received a text message, and I looked down to my phone to check what it was. I left the game, and after 5 minutes of being on my phone, I rejoined the game. The audio was gone, and same for videos and other things. So we connected a speaker, and the sound was working again, but it was a bandaid fix, as the next day the sound wasn’t working for the speaker (it was Bluetooth). While I will say that the pc is a powerful one, and looks cool, the audio problems completely ruin the experience.

The ASUS ROG Gaming Desktop is an exceptional choice for gamers looking for a pre-built system that delivers high performance, a sleek design, and ample storage. It's perfect for 1080p and 1440p gaming and multitasking, making it a solid investment for serious gamers and content creators alike. If you're seeking a balance of power and style, this desktop is well worth considering.

The ASUS ROG Gaming Desktop is everything I wanted in a performance PC and more. From the moment I powered it on, it’s been lightning fast and reliable. The Intel Core i7-14700F with 32GB of RAM handles multitasking effortlessly—gaming, streaming, and running multiple applications at once never slows it down. The RTX 4060 Ti is a beast for gaming. Every title I’ve played runs buttery smooth at high settings with great frame rates, and the visuals look incredible. Paired with the 2TB SSD, loading times are practically nonexistent, which makes a huge difference coming from older systems. The build is sleek and premium, with the signature ROG design and customizable RGB lighting that really sets it apart. Cooling is also excellent—even after long gaming sessions, it stays quiet and cool. This desktop isn’t just for gaming—it’s powerful enough for content creation, video editing, and any demanding workload you throw at it. Overall, it’s a future-proof system that delivers on every front. Highly recommend for anyone serious about performance.

Amazing setup, works great right of the box! Easy set up, has all the right stuff to run games amazingly and it’s a good price

Easy set up and super quiet! I’m not a big fan of all the LED lights, but it was easy to turn them off with the included software. Very pleased with this purchase!
