the gpu will be an problem the zotac card needs drivers from zotac witch is stupid

[@Bdogbeets]

How do you change the led lights on the PC

[@nat.morgan]

Currently looking to buy my first gaming PC and your reviews have been super helpful! This PC's dropped about 500$ since this video, so this is looking like what I'm going to get. Thanks man!

[@jestfulcompany9589]

Did you buy it? How's it holding up? I can get one with an i5-12400 and RTX 4060 for $900 on Newegg. I'm considering it. (Ik you can build it cheaper, but I don't have a Windows key. Once I added that the custom build I was looking at went up to $960)

[@nat.morgan]

@@jestfulcompany9589 ah dude sorry, didn't end up getting it. Ended up getting a ps5 instead :)

[@Frenzied_Frog]

Im really considering buying this pc as it has gone down 500 bucks since the making of this video. And im guessing the quality has not dropped since then

[@Puertorican32]

You are literally helping me so much on deciding which PC to get with my budget! After watching these videos I think this is the one I’m going to get. I have a 1060 rn so I know it’s going to be a HUGE upgrade from what I got.

[@HotTrashh]

1060 Jesus Christ you probly get less fps on new games than console

[@ejtorres9606]

Is it any good?

[@slielikesart]

Also looking is it any good you ever end up getting it?

[@Puertorican32]

⁠@@slielikesartI ended up getting the sky tech prism and it’s amazing. I had it for over a year now and runs anything and never had an issue!

[@slielikesart]

@@Puertorican32 nice I'm just looking around my old pc was a pre built with some swaped part over the years died and its not really worth the headache at this point so I'm just looking for reputable building company's skytech Lenovo and nzxt seem to have decent builds that don't cheap out on random parts (cough cyberpower)

[@stanleyp287]

Just Rx'd my Chronos! Your review backed up my research on this rig! Peace of mind! I appreciate your work on this! Thanks!

[@drummer7557]

I just found the Skytech Shiva II with an RTX 4070 12gb, and the i5 12400f which is older, but still good. Same cooling method, and it's on sale for $1099, from $1,499, that's a killer deal. And I owned a Skytech Rampage back in 2019, and it WAS a beast, but I gave it to my son and bought a Dell, since I didn't game much on PC then. Now I'm hoping this will get me back in the game (pun totally). I trust their quality, and their customer service is definitely the BEST in the PC business.

[@Family_Dollar]

First video of yours I seen helped me make a decision I subbed and used your link to purchase great content brother 🤙🏼

[@JustinTechTips]

Awesome! I'm glad it helped you Kelton! Did you use my Best Buy link or my Skytech link?

[@PeytonPlace212]

I have the Chronos! My version is a liquid cooled Ryzen 7 with a RTX 3070. Also I have a usb-c port on the back. I paid $1,499

[@edgaracr112122]

I believe that's the one I just ordered. My first PC. How's it running for you?

[@lilhonni]

Yeah how is it running?

[@PeytonPlace212]

It’s running great. So far no complaints

[@devlintaylor9520]

I'm thinking of getting one with a 4070 for $1400. Do I need to fill up the liquid cooler or anything?

[@PoiPoi-cd5mg]

Thank you for the thorough review!

[@neildsouza3175]

I have the skytech chronos and the cooling is blue. Its not changing when i hit the led button but all the fan led works just fine

[@dudley1807]

Hey, many thanks for the awesome content. I’ve always been a console gamer but I want to delve into the PC world. I’ve watched a few of your reviews and I’m swaying to Skytech but because I’m a PC noob I’m getting confused with all these skytech versions. I thought the Azure was the best one ?

[@HotTrashh]

There all just names look for the parts you like and get what’s best for your money

[@FlightZone777x]

rip fence and trampoline, you will be missed. 🕊️❤️

[@Bananawafers_]

[@visiblytarted]

My recent PC order from Build Pro PC has left me astounded. Their customer service is remarkable, the packaging was impeccable, and the build quality and performance-to-price ratio surpass all my previous gaming PC experiences. I enthusiastically endorse them

[@Xenoghoul28]

Do you think that this PC could run game dev programs? Im going back to college looking for a PC that can game but also run said programs like editing and animation

[@michaelthompson9798]

Sweet in depth review on a slick looking build 🥰😍🤤🤤! Despite being in Australia 🇦🇺 and not having these builds available here, seeing these builds gives me insight on SI builds for family and friends looking for a prebuilt as I don’t want to end up their IT support 😧.

[@JustinTechTips]

I appreciate you man. Yeah it is a bummer it's so hard to get Skytech machines in the rest of the world. I know they would do well if they could figure that out

[@MothenaTux]

Are you able to change the GPU in it? I'm thinking of getting this and eventually getting a better gpu.

[@narotto7370]

thank you for reviewing all these things it has helped me choose a lot of things like the triple screen for laptops that vid really helped anyway just telling you to keep on making vids the are really helpful thx

[@JustinTechTips]

Glad you like them Narotto!

[@destinsather9757]

I think that’s a good build considering what you’re looking to do… what’s the price?

[@Michael-uf1hz]

@@destinsather9757 its $1000 for just the tower, I'm just sick of playing on low graphic settings and would like something to keep pace with good graphics for a while. Which is pretty much max budget when you throw in a decent monitor as well. Thanks for your input!

[@ikennasmash1030]

This Chronos from the link to the Skytech website just gone out of stock! Managed to order one before then, just came back to see if anyone else noticed yet

[@yerocc]

Still out of stock :( I wonder if it will ever be restocked or if it's considered too old now?

[@dusty_rhodez]

I lucked out I got the skytech chronos that came with a gigabyte b760 mb i5-12600k and a rtx 3060 liquid cooled for $1400 and I'm loving it so far just having trouble with overclocking cpu and gpu

[@xxicet5251]

I have two questions overall do you think I should get this PC for a first PC and does it come with windows?

[@raevyn_storm]

i would assume it comes with windows, but it will probably say in the description of where ever you plan on buying it from, if you want to make sure, and it looks like a pretty good pc, and is one that i might get myself eventually, so if it's in your budget, and you think it's good then go for it

[@Lbozo0]

Hey i am trying to get a pc but my budget is around 1000 Australian dollars or 700 USD, i dont really know much about pcs and I'm trying to play Fortnite on a good graphics and fps. Which pc do you recommend that would suit me the most.

[@mickpernell1467]

They have one on the website for around 1600 with 32gb of ram and same 3070. I fee like it’s a good value any opinions

[@danieluorji]

Thank you so much for this review

[@Sjrick]

So what was the outcome with the tree ? i had a similar incident with my neighbor

[@howtodoit4204]

I am wondering if the pc is compatible with the Acer 28" monitor. I keep getting "no signal" on my monitor. what's going on? They are both new. I am also aware of the horizontal and vertical ports.

[@hunterw1345]

You probably have your hdmi cable plugged in wrong. Also u need to update your drivers

[@treysabia2424]

Do you suggest buying off Amazon or just buying off website, I’m most concerned about how long it will take to come in

[@HotTrashh]

Most websites are pretty speedy

[@alteredizzy]

Odd question but would the Sceptre 30-inch Curved Gaming Monitor 21:9 2560x1080 Ultra Wide be a good monitor for this pc especially for 1440p?

[@akhibbro]

Would you say its good for content creation like DaVinci resolve? Or running obs while playing.

[@ripdustbest]

Do you know any budget PC for streaming and gaming? Luke from skytech or something for my first PC

[@WoskiyYT]

Incredible review and very helpful I only have one question for video editing and streaming games would you consider the skytech chronos a good option? Thank you for your time and consideration

[@jaylam7920]

I’m wondering this too. It looks like it should be able to handle it though.

[@DarkXenoGaming]

Not sure if you will see this but I am looking for the best prebuilt PC to buy for my son that has good cooling as well as room for upgrades later. Trying to keep it under 1200. Thanks

[@IPS-FFF72]

Late reply but I’d consider starting with a prebuilt from Cyberpower if this is your sons first gaming pc. They should have rigs that are ~$800 or lower and can be upgradeable. I’d also suggest replacing the 8GB RAM for 16GB RAM, but that also requires a bit of research to ensure it’s compatible with the pc you got

[@PyschodelicPillz]

How much should you be spending for 1440p gaming. 2-3g?

[@MrCodyNos]

What are the two icons with lights on the top of the case to the right of the power button? Perhaps I missed something, but I can't find anything about them online.

[@ScavengerFX]

This was the first time I've seen one of your videos and I'm impressed. It's really good quality stuff and you cover all the important parts of why someone would buy a prebuilt. Sorry about your fence! I've subscribed.

[@JustinTechTips]

Thank you for the kind words Mark! Glad to have you on the channel! Sorry for the late reply

[@justinpeterson4845]

would adding 2 16 gig ram sticks significantly improve gaming performance? I'm very new to this stuff.

[@thetroller8530]

yeah, depends on the motherboard but if it supports more sticks of ram make sure to check the compatibility list of that motherboard before actually getting them

[@zachclawges6932]

Just ordered mine for $960. Only being one year old thats a damn good price

[@XenoCrocodile]

Damn was it a sale?

[@jeremystaggs9018]

It is a really nice looking desktop. Usually not a very big fan of CPU heat syncs, but that one looks nice.

[@marcoshfdez7429]

Hey i need help very new to pc i bought this exact one SkyTech Chronos Gaming PC (AMD Ryzen 7 3700X/1TB SSD/16GB RAM/GeForce RTX 3070) 8 core . i am looking to upgrade the 1TB SSD and the 16GB RAM but i dont even know where to start with brands or if it fits on my pc or not does that even matter or can i just look up for example 8tb ssd and lets say a 32gb ram buy it and it fits all pcs the same?

[@raevyn_storm]

idk about with a ssd, other then you probably have to get the same type as the original one, unless you replace that one, and the pc can handle that. ex. Sata, nvme, m.2, pcie. the the second one, i think you need to, or at least should get ram that has the same MHz at the end ex. 6000mhz. I would recommend asking in more places then just here though, and maybe going someplace to ask a professional in person, and also do your research, in anyway you can

[@averyyoutube]

You are a ton of help. You've narrowed down my list of reviewers, pretty quickly I might add. Not using a real microphone was the first wise choice. Could cut a hole in the bottom of a Folgers can and fill it with paper towels if I wanted to hear a review like this. And I'm 1 minute in, and you're still talking about this video. Think I'll just watch the videos you got your opinions from.

[@LuizAlleman]

I'm more of a creative and but still considering skytech chronos over cyberpower tbh.

[@hannahchristine5240]

Get the Skytech. Bought a Cyperpower and it barely works due to a malfunctioning RAM that crashes the computer any time I try to play a game or open Adobe. Contacted the company and they were less than helpful.

[@Itz_JustM1ke]

How many inches long and wide is this pc? It looks amazing and would be a great pc for my set up but idk if it would fit since I have a special slot just for the pc

[@raevyn_storm]

it probably says on the website where you buy it

[@simplyboxed9233]

Same pc but ryzen 5 5600x for 1400 buy it or no if you could respond fast that would be appreciated

@JustinTechTips, Great video and you explained it really well. Kudos! Btw, I have a similar model with i5 12400F processor. I am unable to completely disable the RGB lights and wondering whether you know how to do it other to pull the power cables off of the motherboard? I tried the Aura Off setting in BIOS under Led Lighting as well as tried Armoury Crate app but couldn't find a way to turn OFF the lights. if you know of a way to turn the RGB lights, please chime in.

[@bencongdonfineart]

I have the same issue with a skytech pc I just bought (i5 12400f and 3060 ti). The cpu fan was staying on while the others shut off. The only thing I found to work was using the rgb software that came with it and turning down luminosity to 0 before shutting down- which is a pain to do each time, but until I find something else, it's that or flipping off the psu

NOTHING BUT Blue screens again , restarts always, chrome crashes always and then one of the fans no longer worked and the light went out on day 3. I have had enough of this brand. They have no business making computers in my opinion. There will NOT be a 3rd time. Thank God I had the extended warranty. I take it back and will get an HP Oman computer... no more off brands for me. Buy at your own risk. The customer service IS GOOD.. they tried to help, but 2 lemons in a row? wow
