[@golfsierra577]

cable management is an art, the CPU Power Cables can be tucked behind the PSU, the 24 pin along with other cables including Pcie power can be ziptied to the other deeper end of HHD Cage, Audio cable can be tucked behind the motherboard and atlast all the extra cables can be shoved inside the HDD Cage so that they are not visible.

Would have been neat to how much temps changed with a 120mm fan added to the front of the case

[@herrakaarme]

Yeah, it's pretty weird the MSI original case didn't sport even a single fan there. I guess withholding that one dollar addition is what saves MSI from bankruptcy.

I will put in my 2 cents on the Norton, I have personally used it since 1996 with NAV 4.0, there were some bad times around the release of Norton Security in the early 2000s, but mcafee is trash, the first thing I remove when I get a laptop that has it unfortunately preinstalled (looking at you asus) and the IT department has installed it on my work station by surprise and it has taken my previously deliciously fast work station to something that feels like it has a celeron processor in it and a network card that has never heard the phrase "gigabit speed"

Also, i could only have 2 drives in the system. If i added a third, it would not detect which was weird. Went through the bios and all the windows tools i could find to make it work and nothing. After i did a fresh install of Win11, i had zero issues. I'm guessing MSI did some tinkering to not allow much configuration of their system in the windows image

[@snitchmojo3717]

This isnt that bad to be honest! I know its more expensive, but getting a better PSU and maybe 2 noctua fans (1 intake, 1 exhaust) might help the temps

Or just opening the side panel when using the pc

in no way you should spend more then 700 bucks for this pc, let alone 1400 bucks which is the current sale price lol they sell those cheap boxes for much profit, 1000 bucks are their profit atleast and you get the 500 buck part, so its bad, a running car isnt a good car aswell.

This case is so bizarre to me, it feels like something from 2008 with the plaatic not covering all the way side window, the psu on top, the miserable cable management/drivebays at the top, it's bizarre. Especially sad because the original Codex had a lot of problems but a great case.

[@superdmdave3505]

So how many fans are in this unit? One in the front and back or just one in the back?

[@nommindymple6241]

If you're going to go through the effort of transmigrating the innards of the prebuilt into a quality case, I guess I'd suggest clearing the crud out of the OS by resetting it. Depending on your version, I'd guess the easiest way to do that would be under Settings > Update & Security > Recovery. Removing all that bloatware might give a measurable performance boost.

80C is warm but running equipment around there for long periods of time is perfectly fine. That power supply is fine too, I've used Bronze rated supplies in budget builds dozens of times over. 8-pin =150W and it can pull up to 75 from the slot. It's rated at 170W on MSI with a 550W recommendation which this one is. That CPU isn't going to pull more than 120W according to Intel. So potential of up to 225W GPU and 120W CPU for 345W for a 550W PSU to handle? Sure the mobo and SSD draw a little, the fans too. But go crazy and call it 400W. You've still got 100+ for headroom. Not sure if you're "speculating" about it for an entertaining video but there's really nothing worth worrying about here. You could nitpick about XMP not being enabled right out of the box, but aside from that you made a lot of mountains out of molehills. Throw an intake fan in the front, enable XMP, clean out the Windows install and you're good for 3-5 years which should be what you'd wanna get out of a mid-tier GPU anyways.

[@desktopstu4145]

Buying this pc you are paying a premium for non premium parts. The temperatures for the GPU were ridiculous in that case. As for the PSU if we follow your guide there and say approx 400w power draw on a 500w psu of questionable build quality you think thats ok? the 500w rating is its max rating, its not going to like drawing that for long periods. The 400w draw is 75% of its max rating. Dawid showed that an independent categorisation of the PSU showed it in band D, i.e. low end. this pc you are paying a premium price over build it yourself and I would expect a better PSU myself.

[@wolfblue9390]

@@desktopstu4145 Independent rating made by LTT, who is not a technical reviewer at all, though is knowledgeable. Also, 400/500 Watts is 80%. Bottom line is there's hard facts to power supplies and how they're rated. If you don't like the yellow/red/orange cabling then just say that. a 500W PSU should be able to handle 400W all day long, provided you're not pulling too many amps on the 12V rail. You're not paying for premium parts. You're paying someone to put parts together since you don't know how to. I spelled it all out pretty clearly in my comment though. 400 out of 550 is fine, and that's under full load, which is very rare. Educate yourself better.

[@desktopstu4145]

The PSU Tier list featured is not something created by LTT, its by a small group of contributors who have made it almost their lifes work to test pretty much every PSU they can find, however obscure. their testing regime is so good that pretty much all the youtuber reviewers refer back to it. Google PSU Tier list and you cannot help but find it - if they say iots a poor PSU, you can take that to the bank. As for colour of the cables, i dont see the relevance of that comment, I personally dont care what colour the cables are, ketchup and mustard works no worse than braided. Sure Dawid makes comments on the colour but its just that a comment. At the end of the day if you want to trust that no name brand psu with your gaming set up thats your shout.

@@desktopstu4145 He says in the video it's LTT's list. That being said, I googled it and see what you mean. Regardless, it's a subjective list, with too much emphasis on things that don't really matter - sub-100V power input or tiny spikes around 100mv. Someone who buys this computer in all likelihood won't be stressing it past 250-300 Watts, and again, it's Bronze rated, to there's SOME standards there. I'd be saying different if there wasn't an 80+ rating. Again, mountains out of molehills here. He's really more just reaching for points to make for an interesting video if I had to guess.
