Two weeks later it was dead and on it's way back. Fine one day, no boot the next, after a bit of fiddling, I finally got a nice rapid on/off loop before shoving it all back in the box.

I would like to see if the thermal re-do on this system would fix the stability issues. It looks like it was put together fine, decent cable management, and non-existent bloatware..but still abit in the high side for price.

[@Grimmwoldds]

Could have just run the thing with the side glass off to see if it was somehow overheating the CPU and crashing rather than throttling. Then it's time to look at runnnig memtest 86 to verify the RAM is good, then reinstall windows to see if it's a bad image.

[@tk72231968]

@@Grimmwoldds I doubt that CPU cooler can cool fast enough even if it's got all the air it can handle, not enough there to do the job.

[@anonymoustroll1549]

@@Grimmwoldds Don't know the actual cause but I have the same issue sometimes. Sometimes when I record gameplays with the nvidia in built recorder, the game crashes to the desktop. Sometimes the whole PC crashes and restarts. I have tried numerous things and found out all the hardwares and drivers are working fine but if I check the dump file it says system crashed due to "ntoskernel.exe". Have tried several other things but still same issue even though my thermals are pretty good and all the components working fine. I know that overlays can cause games to crash sometimes though.

[@matterino50]

[@editorvexo]

Who remembers when dawid had 150k subs. i hope your day goes well and you have more subs than linus dawid.

[@baroncalamityplus]

My gut feelings is that its an issue with the ram and then the cooler. I would defiantly replace the CPU fan with the one you recommended. Then make sure the ram timings are stock. If it still crashes, then you should see how Neweggs return policy is.

[@gernblanston4956]

The first PC I bought was an ABS, had an AMD k6-2 350. No complaints with the system

I bought ABS Ryzen... I have 3 isssues 1. Bios was not up to date causing crashes 2. Memory speed they sold me wasn't compatible with motherboard so runs just a touch slower, (and I had to set speed myself in the bios) 3. Power switch on case sometimes takes a few presses. After I got the memory and bios issues fixed... Its been a great system. I'm just living with the power switch for now.. Its an easy fix if I ever decide to put a new switch in...

[@trentonmeeuwsen739]

The front fans need to be moved to the back side of the mounts, they are blocking the only small wholes air has to travel through

[@Fogolol]

or better yet, replace that glass with a mesh

To note I did replace the CPU cooler immediately and it’s a great improvement over that. My temps were lower by almost 20°C

[@izwanshaari9854]

Yes please. Would like to see how the system performs with better cooler. And maybe a better airflow planning can help reduce the case temperature too.

[@triparadox.c]

I have the exact case since I bought mine from them. It's a Deep cool Matrexx 50 with Gigabyte B460M DS3H AC V2 motherboard. The case is the culprit. Try removing just the front cover (with heavily choked and meshed intake). During summer, my GPU reached 80C and throttled while after removing the front cover, I actually got the temp down to 67C to 72C AND that's not throttling (full power draw +10% PWR LIMIT).

[@EJBert]

Dawid's grunts and groans during the unboxing is in itself worth the price of admission.

[@memberberries7669]

Next you should review an ARMOURY prebuild from Canada Computers!

[@bloodkillerX]

Actually have an ABS system too but with the RTX 3060 variant (Gigabyte to be exact) and it works very well but not when I first got it. Was crashing in every game I tried (GTA, Destiny, you name it) anywhere from 5-40 minutes. Ran memtest86 and 1, if not both, of the RAM sticks came back with 1 error. Was olOy RAM and I took my Corsair Vengeance LPX kit out of my old build (i5 6500 with a 1060 6GB) and put it in the ABS. RAM had the same specs so nothing was lost really. No crashing anymore. Got this PC in October and been gaming on it nearly every day. Mine is an ABS ALI519.

[@yorchli3152]

I owned one of those Deepcool cases, 50 or 55, can't recall exactly. The front fans are choked, I removed both lateral grid strips (the ones on the inside and they are just glued) and temps improved 2 or 3ºC, I had an Hyper 212 blowing to the back and the air was entering through the top of the case (I made a smoke test to check it). That front panel is really bad, I wanted to try screwing the fans on the other side of the metal of their original position but I don't have the case anymore. I also taped the hole above the fans to prevent air recirculation.

[@newroo]

Dawid! Do a follow up where you change the cooler and check boost frequencies and temperature. Like two other coolers, one high-end and maybe lika Hyper-212 or Freezer 33.

[@coltonogden1513]

I bought this exact pc a few months ago. Definitely does run a bit warm but never dealt with frequent crashing

[@brbbrandon09]

[@coltonogden1513]

@@brbbrandon09 Yes. I did swap out the cooler it came with for a hyper 212, but haven't had any issues with it. Good mid range pc, performs well with all the stuff I play, but if you want to play more demanding games at max settings you may want better hardware. Though as with how the prebuilt market tends to be, I can't promise you won't run into a problem

[@arthuralford]

My first computer was a pre-NewEgg ABS. Purchased in 2001. And when it arrived, it wouldn't boot. A call to their customer support line and a bored tech told me how to reseat RAM. It was a beige box that performed adequately for a few years until I upgraded. Looks like nothing has changed.

[@MutantMasterRace]

I have an ABS and haven't had any problems and the Temps are amazing. So wierd that this one's like this

[@JarrydJunkin]

I think its time to invest in a cpl filter for your camera so you can reduce the reflections on any reflectiv surface

[@cerescop]

That cooler is totally inadequate, also the case fans in front are choked by the glass. Get an after market cooler such as the hard rock Be Quiet line or whatever you like just save the cpu. There is not much air moving in there.

[@squatch5012]

The new studio looks great! Have you considered doing mod tutorials on these prebuilds and then testing them? it would help those who have pre-builds to fix their rig up reasonably easy. Especially consider showing a GPU teardown and changing out the thermal pad and paste.

[@MrJobocan]

To be fair towards the Matrexx 50, you can easily pop out the front panel and instantly get airflow whenever you wanna do some gaming, it definitely helps. Shouldn't need to do that, but it's an option, you know. There's a mesh version now though (allegedly, I haven't found it in canadian stores yet) which makes me wonder why they still make the choke fetish version.

[@chickenpasta7359]

I have the Matrexx 40 Mesh with two Arctic P12's in the front with two on my AIO mounted for exhaust to the top, and one mounted in the rear. The case performs really well with my 6900 XT which even with a good amount of undervolt still gets hot, but my temps are stable and the overall package is fairly quiet and my GPU isn't an oven anymore. I can recommend the Matrexx cases with the mesh front
