Unless you are ready to spend another $300-400 to reinstall everything to a normal case,to buy a 240 or 360 AIO-DON'T BUY IT...
Mine was restarting every 30 min...I end up returning this PC and got this(with a 10% off coupon):

Much better prebuild...
Everything everyone says in the reviews and the old post for this thread is 100% true.

This PC is a good deal for parts, but it gets way way way too hot and it's insanely loud. It has a tiny exhaust fan in the back and a tiny cheap air-cooler which is just not even close to enough. No intake fans! Stupid.

That being said, for me, I still went with it because I had some BB in store credit to use towards it, and I've always wanted to build my own PC so I scratched that itch by case swapping this to a much better case and a much better air cooler.

I went with a Be quiet pure base 500dx, and a be quiet shadow rock 3. So 150 extra dollars and now I have a really quiet and cool PC. If you don't mind doing that and voiding your warranty, this is a great deal.
I got one of these open box + 10% birthday coupon for $1600. First thing you'll have to do with one of these is replace the memory. The RAM in this is absolute garbage. You'll be leaving as much as 25% if the performance on the table, depending on game.

The GPU in mine was 3080 tuf OC, NOT LHR. The picture shows a blower 3080 inside, which fortunately is not the case. The tuf is one of the best cards you can get.

The PSU is a Great Wall unit, it's basically the same thing as the Corsair RM850 gold PSU. Even uses the same cables with Corsair markings on it.

I don't know if I'd spend $2000 on this, but if you want something right now, it's not the worst thing you can buy. This is leagues better than the garbage dell and HP sell at this price.

I don't doubt that the previous versions of this prebuilt were non-LHR, but almost all production has moved to LHR chips for the 3080s, so I'd be pleasantly surprised if it was a non-LHR card. We'll see when I get it.

What's wrong with the ram? Doesn't it run at 3200mhz?

It's sk hynix ram rated at 3200mhz, but the timings are awful. Cl22 or something crazy like that. B560 is actually able to OC ram but these sticks are not OC compatible.

I bought this when it first dropped at $1900 and immediately replaced the case with a SAMA IM01 and the cooler with a ID cooling se224 xt. added a ton of arctic p12 fans and came out with a really good build for only about 130 more.

Stock cooler is a terrible 90mm 4 pipe fan that will throttle the cpu at 100C under any moderate load.

At a minimum you should expect to replace the case and cooler if you buy this. the case is shit tier and is so thin you won't be able to fit any respectable air cooler on top.

For $2000 it's a really good deal actually. All you really need to do is replace the stock cpu cooler, add a 120mm fan in front, 92mm exhaust fan on top, and replace the 92mm exhaust fan in the rear. If you don't know how to do that then it's not worth it.
No, it's not. It's mediocre at best, only good for those desperate for a computer

i didn't have any problems with the cooler. mine had a 212 evo. it does a good enough job of keeping the CPU from throttling.

single rank, horrible latency. there is more to memory than just clock speed.

I bought this and CPU temps were in the high 90s gaming. Replaced the fan on the cooler with a 92mm noctua and got a LOT quieter but still was up to 90-95 temps in the CPU.

I decided to get a meshify 2 compact case and a kraken 280mm AIO cooler. CPU is 50-55 during gaming now. That cost me about $280 but you can go with a $100 AIO cooler and get similar performance. I got the kraken Z63.

You can actually make the stock case work just fine. I've installed a full ryzen atx motherboard without issue, along with a 5950x, and bequiet low profile cooler. Getting celsius temps of 40s on both cpu and gpu. Installed a rear bequiet fan and front 120mm bequiet fan. Sold the intel mobo, 11700kf cpu, and ram so full 5950x build for pretty cheap.

Also put a 92mm top exhaust bequiet fan as well. The Asus case is nice in that it is quite compact. Think I will disable the rgb lights in the front as it isn't really my thing.
It's almost impossible to make a candy from a shit...Shit is shit...
ONLY GPU IS GOOD HERE...
