I bought this exact computer last week, it's a beast. This is the motherboard: https://www.asus.com/motherboards...-a-ax6-ii/

My 4070 Super is an msi (I realize that can vary)
Memory is T Force Delta 16GBx2 5200

I found a discussion of this pc on reddit. Here is what they said about the loudness.

"I have one, and the fan loudness is fixable. For some reason the BIOS setting has the case fans going at max speed all the time, so I just went in to the settings and set up a curve. Once I did that it's much quieter now."

That's the neat part. You can upgrade the wifi chip yourself with a desktop. Also, no one uses wifi on a gaming machine.

Liquid cooling still highly niche and less than .05% of all systems. This is a large case full of fans with lots of airflow. You'll be fine unless you run it in a small room with poor ventilation non-stop in a region with hot summers.

Thoughts on how this Costco IBP deal compares to this Best Buy Cyberpower AMD X3D build price-to-value wise?

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/cybe...Id=6575113

Seems to be very comparable, I'm wondering if the extra $129 makes sense for the X3D with liquid cooling and a slightly beefier PSU.

Fan noise is holy cow. It's like an AC unit. Easy fix.. and contrary to what all the randos said, is to switch the fan profile to PWM. The default is auto, and choices are DC and PWM.Boot your pc. Spam the del button or f2.In bios switch to adv.And under fan settings just turn all the fans over to PWM from auto. You'll notice the fan noise go away before you even to restart and save. If you need help I'll post some pics.
If you could post some pics that would be great. I changed CPU 1 from auto to PWM and System 1 from DC to PWM and it did nothing.

Bought this two weeks ago and did a price adjustment.

Like one of the first posters said, it's a beast. There is fan noise. I wouldn't call it loud at all, but it's there. You can mess with the fan curves in the bios or in the MSI center.

Definitely doesn't require liquid cooling. I did zero fan adjustments and I'm hitting 68C to 74C in Helldivers 2 and Diablo 4 (gpu/cpu).

The only thing I really did before loading up games was update everything including the bios. No issues so far.

The Dell has a worse processor (not that it's bad, but you get the point), half the ram, half the hard drive space. You're ultimately paying more for the branding.

I don't have any regrets pulling the trigger on this one so far compared to the other deals I've seen since.

Did anyone bite on this?:

https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/d...%25pVEN1=!

Half the ram, half the storage, step down with CPU, but has liquid cooling with bump up on GPU (4070Ti Super) and can be ~$200-300 cheaper than this deal with various discounts and cash-back (10% off coupon, 15% CB site, 5% CC CB)
I did.. CB site did not come through. Can't use coupon and CB. so I might cancel.

To add to your comments, Costco is offering you 2 year warranty for what is worth. Also Intel has a 5 year on this CPU. A bit of a hassle but for the price it's worth the chance.

If you're a heavy gamer and want better fps then the x3d is your best choice because of the v-cache. However if you want productivity like video encoding, photo editing and other cpu intensive tasks then this will blow the x3d away with 20 cores. So really depends how you'll use the PC.

Quick update: I bought this today. I was able to go into the bios (pressing F2) and modify the fan setting profiles. I believe I have a MSI motherboard (Pro B760 VAC MS-7D98). I did not have to rewire the fan power cables. It is better, but still not quiet. I've been using laptops (mostly Apple) for the last 15 years. I'm not sure what to expect in a gaming desktop. The default fan settings were way too loud for my preferences. If I was not able to adjust the fan speed, I would have returned the computer.
Is it relatively straightforward to swap out the fans with something quieter? Any recommendations? Would I need to swap out all 5 fans?

I'm getting this for my son and don't know much about computer. Also is there any specifications for the monitor and any recommendations? Thank you in advance!
This one from costco is better. Better processor and more storage.

Does this include any game? I believe I saw something with assassins creed if you buy intel.
