Good power, bad airflow, wrong drivers
Pros: RX 5700 XT and Ryzen 7 3700X are a strong combination. Fast for gaming.
Cons: I couldn't use the computer to game at first because Nvidia drivers were installed instead of AMD. After uninstalling them and adding the correct drivers, I found the MSI RX 5700 RX Mech OC running at temps in the mid to high 80s, which is high for that version of the card. Taking the side cover off reduced temps to the high 60s. For some reason, I only have one intake fan, while two are in the product photo. Either my PC was built improperly, or they decided to remove a fan, leading to very high temperatures. I'm not happy about a case that's adding 20 degrees Celsius to my GPU!
Overall Review: Will someone here let me know their fan setup, or someone from iBuyPower contact me about the cooling issues? Thank you!
A free trial to a paid service
Pros: You can try out Xbox Game Pass.
Cons: It's not a game you will actually own, like comes with some other bundles.
Overall Review: A trial to a paid service is no gift. A game I could keep, or additional discount, would be. It added no value, as I have no interest in the service.
