Review on 🎮 Sleek Skytech Gaming Chromos Gaming PC Desktop - Experience Immersive Gaming with AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, RTX 3070 8G, 16G DDR4 RAM, 1TB Gen4 Storage, RGB Fans, AC Wi-Fi, Windows 10 Home 64-bit, White by Teo Alston

Full disclosure: I'm an IT systems engineer and I usually build my own computer rather than buying it from a computer builder. I've been planning to build a PC for many months depending on if I can get my hands on an RTX 3070. I can't give money to speculators (they're like a reverse Robin Hood stealing from the poor to sell for the poor). Rich). I was very happy that the Skytech Chronos had EXACTLY the same build configuration I had in mind for my personal build (RTX 3070, Ryzen 7 3700X, 16GB DDR4-3200, 1TB NVMe) and that it was only 100- $200 cost more. more expensive than if I build it myself. Considering the RTX 3070's scalping premium is currently 100% ($500 over retail), I'm more than happy to be able to purchase a complete system exactly to my specs from a PC manufacturer at an extremely modest premium to buy. So in short. she should be. Now my impressions of what came in the mail: The body is big and bulky with tempered glass. It's slightly thicker than longer. It has adequate cooling with RGB capabilities integrated throughout the body. I'm not sure if the grille on the front of the case (above the intake fans) was damaged or stylistically defaced at some point, but the metal grille looks like someone crumpled it. The box was otherwise in good condition with no other visible damage. The interior of the case was filled with a stretchable foam bag to keep the contents stable during transit, and I knew that, nervous as I was, trying to remove the stretchable foam bag would be an ordeal in itself could cause damage. . It came with a fairly inferior gaming keyboard and gaming mouse (which I haven't tested since I use the Razr Death Adder). I plugged it in, started it up and hey, it boots up! After a quick run through Windows 10 Welcome (which was optional), Device Manager confirms that it has the advertised hardware. There was a minimal set of drivers and software, which I appreciate; It was easy to take Skytech's initial setup and get on with it instead of just blasting and laying asphalt. I intend to upgrade my product key to Windows 10 Pro tonight. So, BIOS level: The motherboard does not have the latest firmware/BIOS installed. He had the original release version. Okay, it's not recommended to update the BIOS if you don't have any problems anyway. I checked the memory profile and found that Skytech has preset the XMP profile to use RAM at 3200MHz instead of the default 2666MHz. Cute! I connected an ethernet cable between my laptop and my desktop and started transferring data. The first real test was Cyberpunk 2077. The laptop I used as my daily driver (ASUS TUF FX505DV) experienced occasional stuttering, even on the lowest graphics settings. Cyberpunk 2077 launched and ran great, so I decided to turn up the graphics settings. Only to find that they were already set to RTX Ultra and there was no frame drop at 1080p. Very good. However, after about 45 minutes, the computer froze and restarted. Nothing in the event logs, nothing informative. I have a few theories as to what happened here, and they oscillate between the XMP memory profile and the idea that maybe 650W just isn't enough PSU power for this system. However, I have updated the BIOS to the latest version (1.10). -> 1.60) and I continued to play without problems. I found this morning that the BIOS update cleared the XMP memory profile, so I reinstalled it. I need to do more testing to make sure the system is still stable with the new BIOS and full memory speed. In short, for about the price I would pay, I would build this PC myself. build it The B550m board is inferior to the X570m, but so far it is. At some point I'll probably gut this system and move it to a cubic mATX case, upgrading the power supply in the process. But now I'm happy to have built a very modern system quite professionally at a reasonable price. Great job Skytech! UPDATE: 3 weeks later after updating the BIOS I no longer had shutdown issues.
