Genuinely an amazing PC! Great for cost, high quality specs, and runs amazing! At first I thought it came broken, turns out I had plugged in a cord wrong. Since I fixed it, it's perfect. Make sure to plug in your HDMI cable into the CPU port, not the Motherboard! The PC runs very smoothly and is quick to play any games, the lighting is customization, has not run warm at all, it's phenomenal. My one and only issue is that the Bluetooth to connect to headphones does not work very well. Other than that, it is perfect! Read more
So far so good, I do wish it came with a better mobo buts it is still good. On board wifi pretty slow I installed my own antenna and got 200+ more mbs, came with nice mouse and keyboard, fans are a little loud but not horrible or deal breaking. My only problem is it's shipped in a big box with a picture of the pc to sit on my porch, pc is awesome I love it, but bad idea sending it in box with pictures of it all over. Read more
Slower out of the box than my six years old desktop (2070). Updated all drivers with a slight improvement in speed. Would not run some low end games from Steam. Fans were much louder than my old pc. Returned. Read more
The craftsmanship of this product is below standard. They glued parts to the board. It does function like a dream, but the parts are great, and the installation is poor. Read more
A very Whelming gaming system I wanted to make sure that I gave plenty of time with this system before writing a review, which I'm definitely glad for as time has gone on. If Amazon allowed half-stars, I'd most likely be rating this a 2.5, but I don't want to outright call it 2 stars, so 3 it is. The Positives: - The system was packaged extremely well for shipping. I suspect this could have been dropped from a truck and been okay. Which was good, because the experience with this package and USPS was... less than stellar, let's say. But that's on my local postal, not on the product at all. - The case is just nice, plain and simple. For many years, cases have been a place I've saved money and bought something really cheap to build in. The build quality, features, and just overall design of this case though has me re-thinking that approach. I've had to open it up multiple times (more on that later), and aside from the side panel being *really* finicky to line up the post/hole pairing, it's been great. The magnetic attachment for the non-glass side panel to access behind the mobo is very welcome. - The system (with caveats) runs very well, and has overall been solid and dependable in terms of performance. The system came configured with no third-party bloatware, only their RGB controller utility (more below on that). The Negatives: Hoo boy. - The controller software did a pretty solid job (once you made it through the menus) of controlling most of the RGB. However, while it had fan control functionality... that is locked behind a paywall. It's just a semi-functional demo utility with a subscription fee to use the rest. I did confirm this with support, and their answer was to uninstall and control the fans from the UEFI BIOS menu. Sooo.... yeah. That left an immediate bad taste. - The included remote for the fan/RGB controller is limited but decent for basic things like "Fan speed up/down (although very slowly) and some preset lighting choices for most of the RGB. But it doesn't sync them all, and is *very* slow to respond, prompting multiple "Did I press it? Did it register that I pressed it?" button presses. - I very quickly had a case fan go bad, which I was able to isolate and identify. Contacting support for a replacement fan was relatively easy, although even with providing the specific bad fan (along with the system's serial number for build info) they still requested pictures of the fan and connector type to source the replacement. Should that not be in their system , particularly when given the SN? The fan was also delayed in being shipped out until I contacted support again to check for an expected tracking number. - I have another fan which is chattering on system boot, but frankly this one I may just deal with until it goes out entirely, not to have to go through that again. - Part choices in general (brands/models) are mostly fine. Nothing was "Wow, they used a great piece there!", but (almost) nothing was "Ouch, they really skimped there and it shows". - The sad exception there is the motherboard. It's, in theory, an "okay" board. Middling reviews. Even noting settings and resetting to default/updating BIOS to current/etc, there are several sections in the BIOS which are just stuck permanently in non-English language. Spanish, I'm fairly certain. Toggling the language settings away from and back to English does not change this. - I bought an identical 32GB RAM kit to the modules in the system to perform probably the most common of gaming system upgrades. The system, despite claims for the board, will not run stably with 4 sticks of RAM. It will run *mostly* stable, as in generally for an hour or two with 4 sticks... if EXPO/XMP is completely turned off and the RAM is limping at 4800 (note, this system uses DDR5 6000 which the RAM is rated for and the matrix notes for 2/4 slots). Any combination of the RAM in 2 slots (Yes, I marked and tested mix/match) is stable at the rated 6000. 4 slots filled, any order/combo? 4800 and it's not great even at that. - This does, along with the language being stuck not fully in English, make me strongly suspect that Skytech went with some kind of for-export motherboard variant. Just overall, it feels like there was a degree of Minimum Viable Product in the parts choices and build. I wanted to be a lot happier with what was at the end of the day an upper-midrange-priced prebuilt, as it was my first time buying rather than building in decades. Instead, I have a system that I've already been into troubleshooting multiple times, and I know that there is more of that in my future with it. I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed. Read more
This computer has been amazing, i dont think there's a game out there that it cant run, i have even noticed details in games i have played for years that i never saw until now. Skytech definitely knows what they are doing when it comes to building a pc and, the cable management is soooo clean. Read more
UpdateNot even 3 months and the RAM quit working Amazon only gave 30 days I called skytech gaming and it was covering underneath the warranty they're sending me the stuff to replace it Read more
I’ve purchased from Skytech gaming twice and both times the machines were exactly what I wanted. This was my most recent upgrade, I wanted to put it the test before I wrote this review, I’ve never had any issues whatsoever. I have the Ryzen 7 9800X3D paired with a 9070XT and it has been great for me. I play a lot of FPS and I was able to hit 500FPS with low settings in Warzone, and 200FPS in the Epic and high ranges in 1440p resolution. I play Grayzone Warfare in 1440p and still average more than anyone else I know in the game on high settings. All in all, amazing pc building company, never had any issues whatsoever, I highly suggest considering getting a Skytech gaming machine. Not to do a shameless plug, but if you wanted to ask me about it live, I stream on Twitch Monday, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 8PM CST. Read more
