I bought this iBuypower with the Ryzen 2700x and 6gb Rtx 2060 about 10 days ago. As a first time gaming pc buyer I have been nothing but impressed by this machine. Upon arrival the machine had no 2tb hdd available, But the ibuypower tech support easily walked me through how to locate and fix the issue. The case having thumb screws for the glass and metal sidings is very convenient for any issues or future changes.
If I had one thing to mention that worries me, it would be about how the pc runs hot and high. Ryzen master, the pc spec program provided by the cpu website, says this machine is running at 1.35 volts and 4.0 ghz on idle regularly. 40-50 degrees Celsius cpu temp and 60+ when playing games like fortnite at 165 FPS 144ghz at 1080p. Fans do an okay job, but are definitely noisy if you’re not the one wearing the one wearing the headset.
From what I’ve read, the included mobo in my machine is a bit short of the capabilities of the cpu paired with it, but as I said I’m no expert. One of the cpu % monitors is almost always at 100% even after following suggestions online. Though I haven’t had any major issues or comcerns yet. I never planned on overclocking, but the 2700x kinda overclocks by default. Which means it runs at peak performance pretty safely, but can be dangerous for hardware and void standard warranties. It’s very interesting and helped me learn more about how everything works, but kinda scary with such a large investment on a first pc.
Use caution if deciding between a model with intel vs ryzen if you’re new like me and overly cautious.
Really though, other than the high numbers, 165 frames frames on fortnite is just out of being scared. On unlimited I’ve gotten pretty steady numbers around 300 and my internet is like 20gbs. Scored nearly a 3700 on cinebench20 more than once on 70% max cpu usage. Highly recommend, even with my concerns. :-)
