8 Month Update: Computer is still running great the LEDs did stop working though. It seems to be a common problem with this build.

[@aidenparker7246]

Quick question are the fans noisy?

[@yiely]

@@aidenparker7246 no they aren’t too loud. They also have a hi, med, low setting

[@aidenparker7246]

@@yiely Thanks and one more question sorry I got the PC today and tried to hook it up to my dell monitor from like 2014 maybe idk but it only uses VGA and i couldn't seem to get the monitor to connect to the computer would a VGA to HDMI adapter fix this?

[@yiely]

@@aidenparker7246 No worries! The VGA on the back of the tower is coming off the motherboard, meaning you won't get the power from the GPU, or it might not display at all. The GPU in the computer only has HDMI and DisplayPort connections on it. If you got a HDMI to VGA or DisplayPort to VGA it should work for you! Hope that helps.

[@kingjman1994]

I just saw this computer on sale for $600 with a RTX 3050, glad that you seem to like it. Hope that mine comes in and has decent longevity as yours seems to have had. Looking forward to receiving it next week, just wanted to see some actual videos of the product and initial impressions.

[@XenifyFn1]

That's exactly what I'm doing 😂

[@kingjman1994]

@@XenifyFn1 It actually came in today, pleased to say aside from the ram stick falling out from shipping it is working quite well. I suspect it was returned by the previous owner due to this/no display and red light on the MOBO. I have a 2060 Super that I may swap out (if it works) and upgrading to 32gb would be easily doable too. Haven't tested too many games yet but easily playing Black Desert on ultra and Rocket League in the 400 FPS range at 1080p highest settings. If you see it at the right price it might be worth picking up. :)

[@yiely]

Awesome! Thats a great upgrade!

[@upndaclub338]

How do you change the LED? The button on top wasn’t doing anything for me

[@Td2daname]

I really want that pc except with the 1650, hopefully it goes on price soon. It’s cool to see that you’re recording and on the highest settings in games and you still maintain a high average FPS

[@dentedbreadpg3d434]

prices are dropping soon crypto sorta crashed

This is what I’m gettin. Seems pretty reliable

I have the same pc and it’s great! But I was wondering how do you change the rgb on the pc?

[@yiely]

On the top of the case, the LED button is the 2nd button to the right of the power button and has the word LED under it. You can press it and cycle through all of the options. Hope that helps!

[@Frizziolii]

hey so im currently saving for a pc rn and i got one question. would this be able to run discord, roblox, and minecraft?

[@formersat]

hey, quick question. if i wanted to upgrade from the 1660 super to a 4090/future gpu's, would it be possible?

[@yiely]

Yes it would likely be possible but at that point you’d probably want a better motherboard and bigger power supply

[@jr_productionsz9902]

Hi i am planning on buying this Pc should I buy it for gaming?

[@JadonJ_]

Do you have any trouble with no signal on monitor? I’m having trouble, did you have to plug anything into motherboard?

[@yiely]

I didn't have any trouble with that. Maybe just check to see if the GPU is connected correctly or contact support :( Good luck!

@@yiely I worked out everything finally! thanks for your help anyway.

I have a question what were you using for internet were you using the WiFi card or Enternet because I heard there WiFi card is bad

[@yiely]

I am using Ethernet. I'm not sure about the wifi card but I could see it being bad as it doesn't come with Bluetooth either. But It's only $10 for a Bluetooth adapter.

Hello excellent video, I have the same PC as yours but suddenly the lights and the fans stopped working, I don't know if it was because I had to move the PC from one room to another some cable came loose, it's because you're so Please, and if you still have the PC with you, send me upload a video of the metal side part, there is a module where the cables are connected and another one in the internal part just behind your hard drive that is on the motherboard, of course If it's too complicated just let me know.
