It's $2100 for this "TOASTER"?
ONLY GPU IS GOOD,the rest-GARBAGE.
You need to exchage the case and upgrade the cooling...Or it will be shutting down every 30 min.
Returned it...

this is still a good deal IMO. I doubt it will shut down every 30 mins for everyone.

The case is truly awful. Super hot and makes the single case fan run at max all the time. It's loud.

Anybody buying these should budget a decent case.

The 3080 in these may still be FHR and not LHR.

I'm curious.... how did it run with the side panel removed?

I never get why putting a ton of fans is better than just removing a side panel

Are you saying the speed of the speed of the air with the fans, keeps dust from accumulating, but opening the side of the box won't?

I would guess that an open panel just f--ks with directional flow of what fans you do have, which is what you want for cooling. Buy some cheap fans and zip tie them in.in the front and top, out the back. The case and panel will make sure that pressure is distributed.

I had this pc last year when it was $1999. Case is definitely bad for airflow. Got rid of it shortly after getting it. I would hard pass on this if you wanted to use it for any serious gaming.

Fans within enclosed environments use air pressure to cycle (push or pull) air through the case. Depending on how effective the fan setup is and what you're cooling, having your components exposed to stagnant air not being circulated by fans could be worse. At the extreme, think about a hot item in a wind tunnel vs a hot item sitting in a room without airflow assisted by fans

I agree completely. BUT since the CPU & GPU both always have dedicated fans, how much worse is it really, to take the side off the box (in the event it has "hot-box" airflow issues)?

Bought one in Oct/Nov and ran fine with the side plate removed while just mining (low CPU load). Asus stock case and CPU fan are garbage. Put the parts in a high airflow case (Torrent) along with a CPU fan and all is now good. Basically budget the upgrades into the purchase consideration.

What brands do NOT require mods like case/fans, in order to get full speed from the GPU/CPU?
