Overall Feedback:

84% appreciated the premium build quality, while 16% found it lacking
I used it sporadically for a week, but it didn't last.
73% praised for its efficient cooling system, though 27% experienced overheating issues
My computer is not starting up.
83% appreciated the stunning graphics performance, while 17% experienced frame rate issues
If I want to game on this, a dedicated GPU will add much value but I will need to swap cases for fitment clearance.
I found a broken plastic piece of the PCI Express connector which is preventing me from adding a graphics card.
78% liked the customizable lighting and sleek design, but 22% found it gaudy
My motherboard was burnt and it looks intentional.
I did not mention anything about the lighting and aesthetics of my gaming tower computer.
86% liked the generous memory and storage capacity, while 14% found it insufficient
I have a computer with 4 RAM slots and 2 open slots for expandable memory. The BIOS allows up to 16gb.
My RAM sticks are mismatched and of different brands, which is not acceptable.
My PC can handle 32gb of RAM and is up to date.
82% praised for its whisper-quiet operation, though 18% found it noisy
My PC constantly crashes, glitches out, and barely runs basic apps.
After 3-4 hours of use, my computer stopped showing display.
72% appreciated the reliable power supply, though 28% experienced power issues
I did a self test on my computer which shows that it is okay, but it is not booting up. I suspect it could be a PCU or motherboard failure which will cost the same as the computer or more.
82% praised for its blistering processing speed, while 18% experienced slowdowns
I am having trouble starting up my computer. It may be related to its processing power.
