Gaming Pre-Built Showdown: $1400 Aliexpress vs Local Pre-built PC

I compare a $1400 Aliexpress pre-built gaming PC to one I picked up locally. It quickly turned into a clash of titans.

I loved that you tested both with out of the box settings, but I wish you would have enabled xmp on both systems and then shown how much performance was being left on the table by the builders.

[@jackhole1979]

Agree 100% - to me that was the one thing missing in the video

[@neillpaddy]

Bios tweaks are usually down to the end user mostly because pushing to get more performance can cause damage and at some point you will probably have to reset CMOS, if you don't know how to enable xmp from the start you won't do it after the reset either and it would default to off and you will think you have damaged something

[@curiousgeorgeadv]

@@neillpaddy so running ram at it's manufacturer's rated speeds will damage it? And if that were the case why do companies such as Main Gear and iBuypower enable them as well as save uefi profiles with them enabled and the fan speed curves changed?

[@Dunk5520033]

@@curiousgeorgeadv The ram kit won't be damaged but... your CPU might because its in the CPU where the memory controller its located, and if you´re lucky enough you will get a good memory controller or a bad one. that's why some prebuilt manufacturers (NXZT the one that comes to my mind at this time) were advising to not enable XMP or you´ll loose the waranty on their systems, later they changed that policy and started enabling it from the factory.

[@neillpaddy]

@@curiousgeorgeadv it's not that it will cause damage it's that it can potentially cause it. If you don't know how to enable xmp yourself you probably shouldn't be dropping much money on a computer in the first place

[@SgtReaper22]

CC did a great job with a clean pc build.

True story, I first came across dawids channel as a complete noob. I use to think storage & memory were the same thing. (I know, take your shot I deserve it) I didn’t know the first thing about PC’s & thought you had to be a rocket scientist to build one but I always liked he’s charisma & thiddy. I watched more & more of dawids channel & slowly learnt so much. I even bought the game PC Build Simulator to gain a better understanding. Recently now I understand most of the lingo so I’ve gone back & re-watched old vids to understand them better. It helps a lot when dawid dumbs down some parts. I even called my a friend a GT 710 as an insult so i’m pretty much a pro now. Dawids actually given me the confidence to start to look at building my own rig one day down the line when I never had an interest in computers before I stumbled on one of he’s vids. It really shows an interesting person who loves their passion will always be fascinating to listen too regardless of your knowledge

Smoothlemons, this is awesome! It’s soo cool that you’ve gained the knowledge and confidence to pursue the hobby further.
