Rog Strix prebuilts don't have high-end components. The motherboards are fairly basic and the DRAM does not even have heatsinks. They are ROG in name only.
I have the 11700F and 3070 version of this and paid $1600 during the gpu shortage. I never experienced overheating issues out of the box but opted to upgrade to a better CPU cooler anyway (you will have to use a low profile if using an air cooler). Still have not run into any issues going on 2+ years now.
Specs are okish and price is okish
USB type-c in front is nice.
My only issue is that Asus has been sketchy the past year or so.
I've built with Asus for years but will use something else next time around
Reviewers on Micro say this PC runs hotter and louder than it should in 2024
Fan upgrades were said to be difficult due to lack of headers.
Personally I dont like loud PC's.
An HP Omen on sale is probably better
I was able to add an additional 120mm to this case with zipties and that fixed the heating issue
