Add another 8GB of RAM and you're spot on!

The airflow is terrible but if that bothers you then don't buy it. I picked one of these for a friend who was looking to switch to PC from console. I did a few things with it first, I reinstalled Windows 10 and added another 8GB of RAM. Windows and drivers are up to date, there is no XMP option. So if you want to upgrade your RAM to, say, 3200, you'll probably need to use a Ryzen master to reach those speeds. First he wants to play Rust and Apex Legends. It smokes Apex Legends at 1080p, resets the settings and shaders a bit, and it's an easy 120 fps. I played around with Rust's settings and set it to what I would call "medium" and it hit 100 fps. And again these settings with the addition of 8GB of RAM for dual-channel mode (strongly recommended).

Pros
  • It's amazing
Cons
  • Trade-in
