Review on 💻 Thermaltake LCGS Glacier 370 AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT CPU Gaming PC (ToughRam DDR4 3600Mhz 16GB RGB Memory, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070, 1TB NVMe M.2, Windows 10 Home) by Demetrius Young

Packaging: The computer was well packaged at first. There were 3 crates in total: 1. A huge crate of Revain made up the outermost layer, although this crate was quite battered when it got to me. 2. a solid outer box into which Thermaltake put an inner box from the assembly line, and 3. the innermost box was the original box that the S300 case was packaged in. There was foam in there that held the graphics card together and everything was delivered. are firmly connected and undamaged. Instructions for all components were assembled in a plastic bag along with screws, SATA cables and various other small parts included with the case/motherboard. No other accessories or peripherals were included, but you generally don't want a nasty keyboard or mouse thrown away as "freebies" anyway. Components Included: Although the description and parts lists are intentionally vague. I received a system assembled from the same parts as in the photo and received from another reviewer. The main components that were wildcards were: Gigabyte Gaming OC RTX 3070, Gigabyte B550 Aorus Pro AC and NVME drive - Seagate Barracuda 510 1TB. The rest of the system was named in the list of Thermaltake products and/or expected parts. Build Quality: Build quality is good, everything installed correctly and the system booted up with no issues the first time. Cables are neatly routed through the space behind the back panel and PSU shroud. A quick note: if you're installing any of your own SATA drives, be prepared to cut and replace some zip ties. The bundle of PSU connectors has been tightly bundled and placed in the PSU shroud. To gain access to a single SATA power connector, the entire kit had to be cut open and reassembled. Value: At the time of purchase/review, the fact that you're getting a system with an RTX 3070 is already an added feature. Thermaltake could certainly have tried to squeeze a little more money out of you for other components by bundling your desired graphics card with a poor quality motherboard and memory, but they didn't. As of 02/09/21, the price for a system with these components with the cheapest RTX 3070 available immediately ($998, phew!) is $2026.96 without the included Windows 10 license. If the RTX 3070 were available at MSRP, it would the system still cost about $1,528.96. but that's negligible as the RTX 3000 series' shortcoming is unlikely to be fixed any time soon. Of course, the ready-made downside of the value equation is that you can't customize the configuration to your liking, but you already know that. Bottom Line: If you can find this system in stock, it's not a bad buy at all. Revain's shipping estimate was grossly inaccurate and it was delivered earlier than expected, but Revain failed to deliver on their promise to ship within 2 days. Mine was shipped from Mississippi by UPS Ground. Shame on you, Revane. In an ideal world where graphics card prices haven't skyrocketed, this system would cost $100-$200 more than building your own with the same components. However, in the February 2021 market you'll get a decent deal if you're building roughly the same system with an RTX 3070 anyway.Update February 12th 21! - So I had the first hook with this system. I had a couple of crashes in Destiny 2 and then launched a couple of crashes from the desktop that caused the system to reboot. Long story short, it seems that flashing the latest BIOS fixed this issue. The current BIOS version for this board is F13a and the version shipped with my system is F10 as of last October. FWIW. Oh and I forgot to mention that these systems appear to have been built by Skytech Gaming for Thermaltake as one of the boxes they came in had the Skytech logo on it. Update February 17th, 21st! - I still had stability issues even after flashing the BIOS. It got to the point where I could load into the game, but as soon as I loaded a map or mission it froze and then crashed. I've been tinkering a bit with the system. The system is configured at the factory: the power supply comes with two sets of PCI-e power cables, each with two daisy-chain connectors. Only one of these cable sets was connected to the graphics card via both connectors of the same cable set. I decided to pull another PCI-e power cable from the kit and plug it into the card and. IT IS FIXED! No more crashes! The Gigabyte RTX 3070 Gaming OC can draw up to 300W under load, and my theory is that two connectors coming from the same set of PCI-e power cables aren't delivering enough power. As soon as the graphics card was loaded, it suffered from a lack of power and hung. It's a mystery to me why the second graphics card's power pin would go unused on a decently power hungry card like this, and I imagine it would be overkill for someone buying a prepackaged build to hack into their brand new system. Cut zip ties, find the right cable, route it, and reconfigure power connections. I'm reconsidering my guess as this shouldn't happen with prebuilt ones.
