Review on 💻 MSI Aegis R Gaming Desktop: Intel Core i7-10700F, GeForce RTX 3060, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD, WiFi 6, USB Type-C, VR-Ready, Windows 10 Home Adv. by Brandon Thompson

Buying a prebuilt graphics card makes a lot of sense in the current market as prices of modern graphics cards are going down, so I decided to try this prebuilt graphics card from MSI. I'm very glad I did! It's a great system that can be made even better with a little work and tweaks here and there. Here's what you're getting into and how to make the most of it. Firstly the shipping was good and the packaging was very well done to ensure nothing breaks. I was concerned that the parts that might be random would be on the low end, but they're actually pretty solid. nvme was Crucial Brand at 2 kbps. The RAM was a Gaming Dio with 3k MHz. The graphics card is a Ventus OC version. It runs new games great at 1080p, and some of them have ray tracing enabled (the ones currently available anyway) with no issues. My version was supposed to be 10700kf but it installed 10700k instead which is a nice little addition but not that big considering it's a system designed for gaming. So you'll obviously be using a discrete graphics card, but the internal part is good. for backup and testing. If you prefer maximum 1080p settings with smooth footage for current and next-gen games, the 2070 Super version is perfect for that. Now that I've been a PC gamer for years I know how to use a computer so here why it's only 4 stars instead of 5 and what you can do to fix it. to move to the top of the body instead of being used as a rear exhaust. This ensures the best flow and ensures that air bubbles or air in the AIO are on top of the heatsink and not hanging around the CPU. This revealed a difference in CPU temperature of around 4-5 degrees and will help extend the lifespan of the AIO. The way they wrapped it around the rear exhaust was just bad flow. You don't have to remove it from the CPU and re-stick it or anything, just unscrew the fan/heatsink, move it to the top of the case and screw it in. After you do this you will need a new rear exhaust, so when purchasing the system I will make sure to order an extra case fan so both arrive at the same time. I ordered a Coolermaster Argb fan and it worked great and plugged directly into the motherboard fan slot near the back of the case (where the AIO was plugged in) and there was even room on the RGB controller to plug it in. Talk about. Since they had the AIO mounted on the back, the power cable was connected to the rear case vent on the motherboard, if you look closely at the motherboard you can see the pump slot once you move the AIO wheel up to connect the power supply the power connector labeled "pump" on the top right of the motherboard, which was designed precisely for the reason that nothing is connected to it. This will ensure it is read correctly in the BIOS and your software like Dragon Center and hwmonitor, and increase the fan speed accordingly. Second, they didn't have an RGB connection to a CPU cooler connected to an RGB controller. The heatsink fan was on and running, but not the MSI dragon on the CPU itself. Removing the back of the case revealed that it was still wrapped in a tie, just hanging there, and only needed to be plugged into an empty slot on the controller . Finally, the Windows 10 version and the included Dragon Center software was pretty bad and shaky, and Windows 10 updates stuck with issues and it just felt a bit bloated. I really recommend partitioning the hard drive and reformatting it with my own fresh copy of Windows 10. My only nvme drive was partitioned into 3 different partitions which was just unnecessary. Delete all partitions and install a fresh Windows 10 from a USB stick and everything will be much cleaner and smoother. REMINDER: Before reformatting the drive, make sure you don't have other computers to download Wi-Fi drivers for a Wi-Fi card to insert into your system, otherwise you won't have internet and it can't set up properly on . . Once you get the Wi-Fi/Internet driver, everything else can be done after formatting as long as you can connect to the Internet. Download the latest version of Dragon Center and it will find all your other drivers and software and keep them running smoothly. Other than that, it's a really great system and MSI did a very good job choosing the components that go into it. I wouldn't recommend any problem if you are a little familiar with computers and know how to fix the problems described above. I'm ready for Night City! Cyberpunk, here I am! As a thought, not specifically an MSI or build related issue. RTX cards are fairly powerful and lightweight, so I'd recommend something to help them hold on to prevent the graphics card from sagging and damaging the PCIe slot in the future. My Samus amiibo was perfect for this and at the right height. This keeps the card properly in the slot instead of being overloaded and sagging which could cause problems later. Good luck everyone!
