Just what I expected
on July 30, 2020
Posted by: John
from Kingston
Not much to say, been surveying top brands for 18 months , never completely satisfied with speed, power or reliability. Asus, over the last six months proved to me, that they where serious about backing their product, with more than their mouth, but with an excellent product.. THAT WORKS..
I would recommend this to a friend!

Pleased with the Upgrade
on May 16, 2020
Posted by: Allen B
from Pickering Ontario
I have had this PC for just over three weeks now
I replaced a 2011 Desktop PC running an Intel 5-2500 processor made for generic office duties with this one after performance had dropped to unacceptable levels. I blame the hard drive for the poor performance. Yes, I could have put an SSD drive in place of the existing drive. It was an option.
I ordered online after a long period of research here at Best Buy and other online PC retailers. I kept looking until I saw the configuration I was looking for.
I am very pleased with the speed the PC boots up and is ready for login. The SSD boot drive makes scanning the PC a breeze. Completed in minutes compared to hours with the previous unit. Set-up and transferring my data via a portable drive was quick, all completed in one evening. It is very quiet sitting on the desk about two feet away. You barley hear the fans starting up when required for cooling.
I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a great desktop PC or a medium level gaming PC. I say medium level as I think it may require an upgrade to liquid cooling to do heavy gaming.

Total Power!
on August 1, 2020

I got this machine largely for creating and rendering animations for work. So far, the machine has been amazing and has improved my productivity and saved me tons of render time. It was a huge upgrade from my previous machine so comparisons aren't really fair, but I couldn't be happier with this purchase. I hope it continues to deliver, as I previously purchased a different ASUS Strix one model down from this one and it arrived with a faulty hard drive and refused to boot up. No similar issues so far and return/exchange was easy and fairly quick.

Amazing PC for the Money
on December 23, 2020
Posted by: AK370Z
from Calgary, AB
This pc has pretty high end specs for a price just shy of $2,000. Considering the price of the GPU alone is almost half the cost its an amazing deal. The CPU is also pretty powerful. A Ryzen 7 3700x, which is also pretty pricy. The case looks amazing and has built in RGB lighting. There is an additional ram slot to increase your ram. It plays any game on max settings.
Considering the parts in this pc are pretty high end the cooler could be better but works good and keeps temps at operating levels, even after extended gaming sessions.

Brand new PC Hot while idling.
on March 26, 2021
Posted by: Dave
from Nova Scotia
3 day old computer. No gaming or heavy use. Checked bios every day so far. CPU at idle is showing 59 C to 61 C temperature. The motherboard is 37 C to 39 C temperature. Most info online say this is not normal. Only one chassis fan in the case. Seems that other people are experiencing similar issues. Not sure what to do after spending so much money. Been saving for 5 years to get a new PC.

Cons:
Motherboard is very basic and you can't overlock. What is the point you buy an AMD CPU and you cant' overlock ? My guess is Asus doesn't want user to overlock and cause issues. Also X470 MB and X570 MB are expensive.
The fan is not original AMD Wraith PRISM but works . It is quiet and keep temperature low.
Overall : This is a good pc for this price. It is stable. You can do everything. If you are a gamer and want to see high FPS, then this may not be the one.
However, you can get it and maybe after 1 year, you can buy a x470/X570 motherbord and get a better cpu cooler to overclock and get the performance . Otherwise, this PC is not much better than 3600X.

Good Mid-High Tier Rig

from Canada
Previously I was using a very outdated pc from 2013, with this PC I have so far not encountered a game I can't run atleast 60 FPS with the max graphics. Also a great pc if you need multi-coring capabilities such as streaming, video editing/processing, etc.
If you are looking for a good relatively cheap gaming pc (for it's parts) would recommend.

AMAZING GAMING PC
on January 2, 2021
Posted by: Anon
from Regina
I've had this PC for about more than 4 months now and it's just been great. No issues what so ever and the cooling and temperature had no issues either. I would recommend a good Gaming monitor with at least 144Hertz to feel the actual smoothness of gaming. I have also AUTO overclocked both the GPU, processor, and the rams in safe manner and it just works great.
