ASUS ROG Strix G10 Gaming Desktop PC, Intel Core i5-11400F, GeForce RTX 3060, 16GB DDR4 RAM, 512GB PCIe SSD, Wi-Fi 5, Windows 11 Home, G10CE-US564

This PC isn’t deserving of the negative reviews. Yes the first couple days it crashed frequently but after getting all the updates it has run flawlessly for three weeks now. Not that long yet but appears to be a very stable platform.As far as the loud fans goes, for a gaming computer it’s probably the quietest I’ve ever heard. Those claims otherwise must not have ever had a gaming computer before. Temps stay cool even after playing for hours.Graphics are great, all the graphics test sights I’ve been to say I’m in the top 1%. I’m running my graphics at max settings on three screens and only once in three weeks has it crashed due to graphics. Toned everything down to about 95% of capability of the card and hasn’t been a problem since. This Nvidia 3060 is a worthy video card.If you’re wanting a decent budget gaming PC I don’t see how you can do any better than this one at this price. I can’t even build one for cheaper than these. I’m very pleased. Had planned on beefing it up a little but other than maybe doubling the RAM this PC is good to play anything out there right now.

Update: 12/3/2023: Computer was sent back to ASUS via RMA to get issue blue screen/critical process died loop and random reboots. Computer was returned apparently untouched, noting that they had replaced the graphics card. Computer still is randomly rebooting. Going to contact support in the morning.Bought this in November of 2022 for a great deal (somewhere under $900). Honestly was buying it for the graphics card + a faster chip and more RAM capabilities than my old computer.Got the PC in mid November. Added more RAM, added a SSD, added a case fan (because guess what... there's no MF'n case fan).It worked ok, for awhile. And then the problems started happening (I wish I had been in the Amazon return window at this point). I'd keep getting blue screen errors. I'd google. I'd do what the sites said. Run the varying fixes. Check the logs. Nothing would work. As time went on, the blue screens continued getting worse and worse. Until I just couldn't take it. Last month, I took it to a tech.Tech was mind boggled by the motherboard they used. Poorly made trash. Shocked ASUS even put their name on it. He said it also takes too long to boot up. He said the processor fan didn't have any copper on it for heat dissipation - the PC was running hot. The fan was loud as heck. He thought he fixed it after checking the drivers/etc... Not only did the problems continue, they got into a critical process died circle. Computer could barely stay up 5-10 minutes before crashing - or freezing, as it wouldn't even blue screen. The compute would just freeze.Advised to wipe Windows 11 and do a fresh install. I did. Now I'm having Kernel-Power errors, plus freezing. I still have some time under warranty, so I'm sending it back and seeing what happens with the RMA.Stay far away from this computer build. It's nothing but trouble.

Bought this on a Black Friday deal and I’m pleasantly surprised by the quality. I’m able to play most of my games (Overwatch 2, COD, Baldur’s Gate 3, Sims 4 + mods) on ultra graphics, I’ve never experienced latency issues and it’s been an awesome addition. Only negative I’ve experienced is occasionally the back USB ports are buggy (usually a sign I need a windows update) and it’s loud. Like really loud.

this is the first pre-built computer I have purchased since 1994. Individual parts costs too much that is it not worth it anymore for what I do on a PC as I dont PC game anymore these days. My youngest son however plays Roblox and Fornite on PC. My current PC has a i7-4770 cpu!I purchased the G10CE with Intel i5-11400KF, Kingston 16 GB DDR4 3200, and Asus RTX 3060. $739 plus taxes, great price considering what the RTX 3060 goes for. Comes with Windows 11. The SSD is a 512 Gb NVMe WD SN-530 PCI 3.0. The motherboard is a micro-ATX Asus B560 chipset board. 500 W PSU. Didnt check the brand. The case is fairly small for a tower case. It is not greatly ventilated at all. Does have a led RGB strip inside at the top of the case. Has 2 USB 3 ports on the top of the case.The performance of the computer is fine so far. Setup was a breeze. Updated windows, all drivers and software plus the bios of the motherboard. PC boots up in less than 15 secs. The biggest thing that holds this PC back is the motherboard. It is really limited. You cant adjust much of anything in the bios. It has 1 included 92 mm case fan and the cpu fan is also a 92 mm fan. They are SUPER noisy and you cannot adjust the speed of the fans. The case fan header is only 3 pin so you cannot replace it with a 4-pin PWN fan to make it quieter, but you can get another CPU cooler with a bigger 4-pin PWN fan to replace that fan. I found a low profile Cooler Master heatsink and fan unit with a 120 mm PWN fan for $23 on Amazon that should do the trick.Biggest question is can you add another NVMe PCI 3.0 SSD in the other M.2 slot for additional storage space and will the motherboard actually detect it being a B560 chipset. If not, there is some room at the bottom of the case where you can mount a 2.5 inch SSD but there is no way of getting a 3.5 inch HDD to fit in this case.This is great computer for someone on a budget that wants to game at 1080p. You should be able to run max settings on most modern games with the RTX 3060. The other hardware in this PC should not hold you backHowever i am returning it as the aftermarket cpu cooler did not help make it any quieter and i cannot tolerate the fan noise.

Although it looks kind of cool to see the lights inside the tower, it just doesn't get enough air with the glass panel. My computer was revving up so loud and hard and it was crashing at least once a day, if not multiple times a day. Now that I've switched it back to the metal panel, it's really quiet and it hasn't crashed at all.
