ThermaltakeGlacier 150 Gaming PC (AMD Ryzen 5 3600, GTX 1650 OC, 16GB RGB 3200Mhz DDR4 ToughRAM Z-ONE RGB Memory, 500GB SSD, WiFi, Win 10 Home) Gaming Desktop Computer S1WT-B450-G15-LCS

I ordered this for my parents as their PC kicked the bucket, and a gaming PC seemed to be the best value. Plus there just wasn't much out there in terms of your old home PCs.Overall the build is nice, decent value for the components, etc. It was listed as coming with Windows 10, but already had Windows 11 installed so bonus points there for not having to deal with upgrading...However, a glaring issue was that whoever put it together either used the wrong standoffs under the motherboard or none at all. It was also missing at least one screw on the motherboard; bottom left screw. The top [left] screw was tightened so far that the interface panel was sunk in so nothing could be plugged in. I wasn't about to deal with trying to exchange or refund so I had to spend an hour fiddling around, loosen up some screws, and setting the motherboard in it's proper position. The PC also only came with extra screws along with practically zero paperwork. So even if I wanted to break it down there weren't standoffs to put this together properly. Anyway, simply loosening two screws and leaving them loose was enough so that I could pull the board up a little so that everything was able to be plugged into the interface.It's a solid PC, but that's a major issue that most people likely wouldn't be able to tackle.Also Amazon packing was terrible. The PC was packaged well in it's OEM box but Amazon slapped it in a box way too large and threw a sheet of paper in it; as if that even offered protection. Should've saved the paper for another package, what a waste.Overall a good value, and I'd buy one again if I ever needed a pre-built. These things can and do happen from all manufacturers. It's just a shame they do because it really isn't that difficult to put a PC together.

I'm very happy with this purchase and would recommend to anyone wanting a gaming PC for a decent price. I'll split this into two parts, first overall review and then the more technical review for those interested.Part 1: So overall this is a great all around PC. It has everything you need to game right out of the box. Good storage size for lots of data, good amount of RAM, processor is actually better than I thought and never caps out at anywhere close to 100% It looks great, the case is super solid ( surprisingly heavy ) runs everything I throw at it and is pretty quiet. The power button is really my only small gripe in this first section and that's because I turned it on once and it shut right back down. This was because the button can get stuck pressed in if you don't press it directly in the center. Not a big problem. If you are getting this as a gift or it's your first time buying a gaming PC I have some recommendations to keep your experience of PC's as pain free as possible. First I would look up some videos on YouTube about what to look for when getting a PC shipped. Connections, graphics cards and other things can come loose, leading to nothing happening when you turn it on or worst case a dead computer when power is turned on the first time. Always try to use a surge protector on the computer power as sensitive electronic can easily burn out in a surge. When you peel off the protective film on the glass I always remove the glass completely from the computer case BEFORE peeling. Peeling of the film on the glass can build up a strong static charge and this could be damaging to the PC. Remember to plug your HDMI into the graphics card and not the motherboard. And lastly keep it clean from dust build up, look up some videos on how to safely clean it.Part 2: Technical stuff...So I was really surprised on how cool this PC stays while gaming. I mean my room gets super hot but the computer stays pretty cool. Average temps (in Celsius)Processor 34 at idle 52-55 is the max I have seen it get to but it goes down quickly.GPU MSI RTX 3060 43-45 idle (at idle fans don't run until under load) and about 65 max but that with the card being overclocked with MSI Afterburner.Ram, MOS and chipset temps never seem to get to high, about 36-40 at idle and maybe 50 max while gaming.Games played on this PC are at the bottom.One odd thing in the case design is you have this nice magnetic removable dust screen on top but.... that is an exhaust so it in theory will trap dust that already made it through the computer as the front intake fans have no screen to filter out dust. This also applies to the exhaust on the CPU water cooler, it exhausts out the side of the case while pulling in dust that already made it trough the intakes in the front. My solution was just to remove them and clean the inside more often. I noticed there was a significant reduction in exhaust pressure with the screens on. It never got too hot inside but just seems like an odd oversight on the design. I ended up moving the two 120mm aRBG fans from the top and one from the rear so the front has all three for intakes swapping out the two plain black fans the were intakes. I see them from my viewing angle so this looks better. I then added two 140mm aRGB fans on top for exhaust right above the motherboard and another 140mm on the rear for more exhaust. I took one of the black fans since they were not used anymore and moved it to the bottom of the case where the HDD/SSD drive tray was so total I have four 120mm intake fans, three 140mm exhaust fans and technically two more 120mm exhaust fans on the water cooler. I went with all matching Thermaltake aRGB white fans for the new 140mm's. I got two more sticks of Thermaltake RAM bringing me to 32GB and added a Samsung 2TB 980pro with heatsink to the second NVMe slot. I got rid of the PSU cables and added white cables that have separators that keep each individual wire perfectly spaced from each other.All games for me are set to a capped 60FPS. I don't play competitively, don't see a huge bump in visual fidelity beyond 60 ( even though my screen is 120Hz) and you can run higher overall settings if you aren't trying to pump out 120FPS+Games:Hogwarts Legacy 1080p, max settings, RTX on preforms great. Loading times are almost non existent.Doom Eternal 1080p max settings no problem. It runs smooth, even when everything is going crazy around you.Diablo IV 1080p max settings, acts like it's not even trying. GPU load is about 45-60% CPU about 20-30%The Division 2 1080p max settings benchmark gave results of CPU average 25% GPU average 65%I think you get the point, here is a list of other games I play, all maxed settings.Borderlands 3, Battlefield 2042, No Man's Sky, VTOL VR, Boneworks VR, Portal 2(260FPS+lol) all the HALO's, GTA V, High On Life and 70 more games on steam.This is a great computer for the money and even though I have always built my own, I haven't had time to start from scratch with work kicking my butt. This revived some confidence in pre builds even through channels on YouTube like Gamers Nexus most of the time find so many things wrong with them. Lately they have said Thermaltake is beginning to make changes for the better and so far I am impressed with their products. I may have gotten lucky but either way every part that was in the details was installed in this computer. That's better than when my son tired to buy a pre build, it was a total scam... Overall I would recommend this for sure.

This is a great computer. I love it but it is supposed to come with 5.1 surround sound hookups but it only has a single music port. I was very disappointed with that, as it’s part of the reason I purchased the product. I ordered my computer and received a unit with the glass side shattered and had to send it back and get a replacement.

The media could not be loaded.  while I've been using it for 1 day, I can't say anything else except that it works really well, I can't say for sure about the cooler, whether it was during transportation or when it was assembled, maybe they didn't notice the malfunction, the cooler is fully functional, but it's a pity that the backlight doesn't workin support I was told that they would not replace the non-working component from the box, instead they offered to compensate for the damage for the non-working cooler with an Amazon coupon...
