- Only air intake is the cpu radiator mounted in the front pulling air in and preheating it before it hit the gpu
- Much higher than average case temps
- Cooking the 4090, resulting in one of the highest 4090 temps
- Bios won't allow four sticks of ram to run at 5600, only 4000
Not making the radiator an exhaust up top and not having all 4 sticks be able to get to 5600 made this a definite no for me. Its a terrible design.
I tried to make the closest apples to apples comparison with PCPP and selected the cheapest components. This prebuilt is still cheaper (not by much if you exclude the OS, although I did leave fans out so there's a few bucks more that would be required if you are doing a complete build):

With this you get a single device to return/RMA if something fails as opposed to sending individual parts back. I felt the trade off with the proprietary MB and GPU was worth it... Just my opinion/rationalization of my own purchase.
"This product has a proprietary motherboard that is incompatible with high speed ram. What's really unacceptable is that it is advertised and shipped with 5600 Mhz ram, but the product actually does not even support the ram that it's shipped with. This is obviously not acceptable and feels dishonest. You simply cannot use high speed ram with this product which is insane for a $3000 computer. As things stand, it seems you will never be able to upgrade to highspeed ram for the life of the product. The BIOS is proprietary and extremely limited. Some of the supplied drivers from the Lenovo website actually cause more harm than good. Some of the drivers/software on the download page are recycled from other Lenovo products and this is very evident because when you download and run the drivers you will get an error message."
Everything else I've found is $1000+ more. Guess I'll keep waiting.

From Reddit: "I got the 4080 build for ~1750 earlier this month and the RAM speed issue was resolved by a BIOS update. Currently running at 5600 MHz with no issue."

Chatted with customer service about ID.ME not working and they sent me a revised quote with additional discount through email. Then combined with 8% in rewards, this is a no brainer that you can't possibly touch by building your own. Opted for additional 2 years of next day in home warranty for $71 and get another year through AMEX - so 4 years of warranty (if I keep it for that long)
