I’m getting a pre built that has a 3060 👀

Take a Dremel with a small cutting wheel and make those fake vents functional.

@@moonman1209 The case got better airflow than my own custom build.

@@skids6885 That’s impressive. Is it in just a metal shell?

@@Psyberify i was sorta joking on my sentence, since my case only has ventilation from the side towards the front io. In others words it doesn't breath. Just the interior exhaust fan at the back of the case is effective. The case has a very nice exterior with a tempered glass side panel, and a brushed aluminum look front panel.

@@skids6885 my case makes this case look like an air tight coffin. i'm using a CoolerMaster HAF XB lanbox/test bench case. two 120x120 fans in front one in back and a big 200x200 fan on top. the main board lays down in this style of case so i coupled it with a Be quiet Shadow rock top down cooler.

@@DenverStarkey That case looks somewhat like a box server ngl, but still really cool, that case has alotta airflow ventilation. Makes me replace my case with something similar since my cpu temps always spikes high underload.

Definitely in the top 100 things he’s ever said, someone make a list

@@trentonmeeuwsen739 I would love a list. 😂

@@DawidDoesTechStuff can you do a follow up on the cpu fan mount and go indepth on if you can or can't take everything out and put it in a different case

Depending on the process to make usable vents, they may be actually wasting or matching the material used to do so, but I'm sure it is probably more due to manufacturing costs than material costs.

Planned obsolescence, I imagine

It's like people who buy fake hood vents and riotously stick them on their Toyotas and say they're muscle cars!

​@@elephystryI don't see that, the hardware will never run hotter (if you do basic maintenance). That case is just poor design

More effort is required to machine the holes for flow. I'm not saying that is good justification. The problem lies with vendors wanting to sell products with round numbers (i.e. $500, $550, $575) so if the machining costs an extra $3, the vendor doesn't want to have an "weird" number (not a zero or 5) in their "round" price. It's the dumbest sh1t in the world.

😂

@@DawidDoesTechStuff lmao

lmao

I think it probably was someone doing the marketing looked at pictures of the case, assumed it was ventilation/intake for the case and highlighted it with out checking. Edit: Assumed not assembled...

Corporate "thinking" at its best.

Well, that makes me feel safer. Hopefully it's not like gigabyte.

@@Ivy-pe2wz never heard of it. maybe since I wasn't born in the 90's. Thanks for the info they do seem alright enough.

@@DawidDoesTechStuff i am glad i went with Coolermater case H500 its awesome and tons of airflow with front panel MESH..and 2x200mm fans.. got great temps even with 5900X and 3080 its just on another level even those ports on front with case its horrible just a few ports..

those temps are so bad.. i stay under 65c even under load in games with my 5900X using 360mm Aio and GPU is Gaming X TRIO so i stay around 70c even with 3080

Unless the tech is a result of alien negative energy tech the constraints in airflow is choking the life out of that poor gpu blower. The blower motor will probably fail before the gpu. The gpu will meet the same end soon after.

It really seems like it.

@@DawidDoesTechStuff.

I cackled at this. 🤣🤣

Correct me if Im wrong, but is the Mobo an Asus Prime B550M-K? I saw that MB tech specification on Asus USA homepage and said it has a VRM heatsink, while the picture on the homepage does not show any VRM heatsinks at all. And also, IIRC the B550M-K fo not have ARGB headers, and does not support Aura Sync. Why does the brochure for G10DK said otherwise? Did Asus made a mistake bout the heatsinks and Aura or I'm mistaken?

well, i really think it`s probably that SOME Ryzen are benefiting a lot from dual channel. For my pool old 1600AF the change between 1x8 and 2x8 is no more than 5%

It's weird especially considering that Asus knows how to make a decent case.

It's because people who buy prebuilts don't ever bother to open their computers and clean the dust. Additional airflow will only make this worse. And it's also less effort for Asus anyways.

Let's forget we that the 2021 version of the Legion 5 have a proper mesh front and top

@@DawidDoesTechStuff Prebuilts like these are marketed at young kids who couldn't care less about airflow, and don't care about specs either except the big main numbers (3070, 16gig ram, ryzen cpu, etc). They don't care that the whole rig is bottlenecked in 10 different places and probably losing 50% of its potential peak performance because of it. As long as they can get around 100fps in their main gaming resolution they'll be happy. So why would Asus bother shipping the prebuilt with an actually competent cpu cooler, or make a case that's just gonna let more dust in and require more maintenance that said young kids won't ever do? Why make a clean design, when edgy is what sells to their target audience? Why even brand it with "ROG" when there is not a single ROG product inside? It's all because they want to cut away as much cost as humanly possible, because their target audience wouldn't be able to desire the increase in performance anyways. Why charge more for better solutions, when customer can be satisfied with less. It's pure and simple business. Asus knows how to make the best GPU solutions on the market, yet they ship it with this barebones 3070 that is barely any better than stock. They don't even use their own power supply which they're so proud of. The only thing worthy of their name is probably the motherboard, because they actually build it from the ground up and thus can afford to offer a decent solution.

@@Real_MisterSir Your patronizing aside, most machines have bottlenecks of all sorts in them. By nature of tech its impossible for everything to 100% utilize everything else to its fullest. Like how not even modern ssds can saturate a pcie 3 bandwidth.

What was ur budget for ur first pc

Congrats man

@@domdinhh9772 abt 1300 us.

What gpu did u get because they are so expense at the moment

Welcome 🍻

You think the case looks good? idk man, i feel like their products are made to appeal to young kids who like gamer stuff. i hate it

@@samgoff5289 that’s the point. You have this sick case, but then you have beefy parts inside

Case is ugly too, though...

The entire design team for that case needs to be fired. And the person who signed off on it actually being sold.

you need to spend more money like to see him review the ga 35 sure the case is trash but easy swap lol

Did you keep the same mobo ?

@@antoinecarazzato2202 yeah, it's a strix b560 G matx board

Employee doesn’t know what is required for a prebuilt PC roast video LoL 😂

My goal is beyond your understanding

you do not understand where im going with thic pc...

It does feel a lot like that.

@@DawidDoesTechStuff so I am curious how much opening up those fake vents in the front with a Dremel will do to practical airflow in the system, like how good would it be if it came from the factory like that?

@@mattparker9726or keep the side panel off

@@Neptune695 well then I guess the cooler is to blame

Daummm sir u really solved the riddle. smart.

😂

@@DawidDoesTechStuff hi

It was “the cooler equivalent of thumbing in a softy” for me. Just about choked on my own breath, I laughed so hard.

or just remove the front. its just clipped in place :-)

I really wanna see that video !

Use a dremel tool and cut some openings and zip tie a 120mm fan to the front wall inside the case and it would be a night and day difference. I would do it if I had this PC.

@@MrR2185 thats exactly what i did with mine few weeks ago,not as clean though, just drilled few holes in the front panel and zip tied the fan :D temps went down about 15c on average across the board, can recommend

Yes...but for the people who buy this for $2k, it should have that already done from factory...its sad because it looks like you can fit at least two 120mm fans

Every case I've ever ordered delivered to my house has come damaged, finally had it shipped to a Best Buy and it was fine

Motherboard is the Asus PRIME B550M-K , their bottom of the barrel B550 board...

@@LastSecBloomer I had Asus Prime B350M-A before. My 3700X performed pretty well even the VRM had no heatsink.

No joke, the mobo in these is just garbage.

Good laptops as well. Well, except their TUF branded ones which are awful but the rest are pretty good ;p

i love how most billionaire companies cant make a good prebuild but can make good components

I want to know who decided that case should even be sold, because that’s ridiculous.

Yeah they dont put them in their pre-builts 😭

I always wonder who’s in charge of the product and sale team? They know gamers are gonna be nit picky and will want the best thermals, dual channel ram, and a clean OS installation.

its CLEARLY better than Dell.

whats a good case for it?

@@sockswastakentwice I need to know

@@brianbillings6518 same, i think im just getting a basic white case on amazon that has good reviews, im pretty sure all my parts and stuff will fit if not ill just return the case and get another

@@sockswastakentwice Probably anything that has airflow. Would be hysterical to see it in something like a Fractal Torrent or a Corsair 4000/5000D ;)

@@cluberti i got a corsair icue 4000x rgb, it worked out lool

I guess, and the fact that it's easley upgradeable makes it even better

men love holes

That sounds so sick. Did you ever find out what prebuilt it was? I really won’t to see some videos on it

@@timemast3r ROG Tytan CG8890, it came out in like 2012, but is still just nuts to look at.

yeah i just looke dit up. the 13 year old in me wants it more than fresh oxygen

the probleme is for me IF you have to buy ANYTHING else after you bought the prebuilt. means that the prebuilt was trash, and you should have made a custom pc from the start.

@@wellaname221 Yea that's exactly the point; to highlight exactly how much the average prebuilts are skimping out on and how compromising their offers truly are, when compared to an actually decently put together rig (with same core hardware, just built with common sense).

@@Real_MisterSir yup i see your take. honestly i stopped watching this youtuber the moment i have seen one of his prebuilt Test where the pc couldn't even Run a game 1 hours straight without 7 crashs" his words" , and in his conclusion he described the pc as " OKEY " when he should advise people to Avoid it even if it was the last pc on earth. his reviews are Shady AT best.

@@wellaname221 Damn.. I haven't seen that one. I personally wouldn't even feel comfortable giving a rating at all to a product that fails at such core tasks as running a game. That is something a pc just needs to do without question or hickups.

I've got the same computer except I've got GTX 1660 TI card

I've also got this prebuilt. Mine too came with dual channel memory. And a much better CPU cooler than the one seen in this video. Odd how there doesn't seem to be much consistency with these builds. Cheers 😊

Should I buy this pc?

@@Rxcdleyt Unless you dont know what you're doing or live in a country that has extra bad shortages, you're better off building your own system. The extra 200$ that you gotta pay for a gpu isnt too big of a deal compared to paying the same extra for a prebuilt and ending up with a prebuilt.

I bought this a couple months ago and it’s not to bad for what kind of gaming I wanted, and same mine did come with dual channel ram. I just want to upgrade it lightly and I’ll be happy

Honestly what I was planning on doing. Seems to be a pretty easy upgrade

Funny story. I actually bought one of these prebuilds that had an RTX 3080 TUF, i7 11700kf. I stuck it in a new case with a liquid cooler and (2) 3600 MHz 16 GB sticks of ram. The thing runs crazy nice. Best part about it was I only paid 2K for the prebuild

@@samyisafanoffred I just got the cooler master case I have a asus GeForce rtx 3060 ryzen 5 3600x I have the stock motherboard but it has no rgb headers or anything what did you connect your liquid cooler to I have the 2 fan headers but I’m going to get a spittler of amazon but I want a cpu liquid cooler but don’t know what one has no rgb header cause I don’t have one

@@samyisafanoffred so your telling me that it's worth getting the asus rog at 1,200 dollars and then upgrading it afterwards?? Or is it better to get a 1,500 dollar prebuilt pc with everything made to be best quality

@@MajesticSam the best move is to never, ever, buy a pre-built. Build your own

If you want it roasted, just skip the middle man and put a Gigabyte power supply in it.

Haha!!

@@MarkZickefoose lmao

@@MarkZickefoose the funny thing is this PSU probably can withstand higher loads than the Gigabyte's 850W unit lol

I have this PC as well. With a few upgrades, it can be pretty good although the thermals are rather sketchy. I do have a spare 90mm fan, but does the motherboard have a third fan header?

@@Matrix_The_One thermals were more than acceptable with the clear side panel which as you know is vented all the way around, and additional front intake fan. In fact I built a spare parts rig in this case and resold with no complaints. Still have one in the parts bin I might use for an emulator box.

I did this. Water cooled CPU and 6 fans total (2 in the radiator) currently. Works great.

@@shabazz18 how do i transfer everything to another case?

@@bootylumps3457 just swap over the parts to any M-ATX or bigger case. Preferably an airflow model.

@@shabazz18 hey bro i did it. Transferred it to another case. Way better airflow has 5 fans instead of the small case with only 2. STRESSFUL THO.

@@shabazz18 my CPU stays kinda hot tho should i replace cpu fan? i just bought the whole computer less than a week ago then transferred cases yesterday.

That's great! It sounds like it was a good starting point for you. Glad to hear it worked out for you. 👍

@@DawidDoesTechStuff I have one of these asus prebuilt ones, “ASUS - ROG Gaming Desktop - Intel Core i7-11700F - 16GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 - 1TB HDD + 512GB SSD” It runs cool and perfectly fine. What desktop prebuilt from asus are you using in this video?

We need pretty big AMD V-cache to go without RAM.

I mean, I did mention it extensively throughout the video. Hopefully, if Asus watches the video they don't just watch the conclusion. 😅

JFHeroux : I had the same thoughts.

I use an advanced sponsor ad skip extension

Dawid: "What about bondage jokes?" Corsair: "Our hands are tied there."

The pc? Just fine. However, a seperate dedicated arc reactor is needed for the GPU.

You can definitely use a 500W PSU with a 3070 unless you have a super high end cpu and 17 rgb fans in there I guess, picking a reputable brand is far more important than having extra headroom in the wattage.

Dhoelath as a matter of urgency any owner should swap out the power suply as soon as possible. Aside from safety I'd believe that under powering is a hot issue.

@@are3287 bro 500 wats is not enoth for a rtx 3070 that is a one way tiket to dead pc land

NVidia overshoots a little bit on the PSU recommendation because they can't predict whether the consumer will go for a super cheap no-name one or a 80+ platinum, so they might as well guarantee some headroom. However, 500W for a 3070 really is too low for comfort.

look at other reviews. this guy is just a snob. if i wanna spend 1000$ on a prebuilt this thing rocks. just get the 1660 ti not the super. airflow is not bad. and ive looked at tems of this in test and they stay about 60. js this dude got paid to rip on this system.

@@sgt.skibby570 Just because someone else doesn’t like something you do like doesn’t mean they got paid to rip on the system. If you like said system then more power to you, but claiming someone got paid to rip on something just because you disagree with their opinion is childish.

Would be contradictory to the awful thermals everywhere else

Standardization?
