Skytech GamingSkytech Archangel Gaming PC Desktop – Intel Core i5 12400F 2.5 GHz, RTX 3060, 1TB NVME SSD, 16G DDR4 3200, 600W Gold PSU, AC Wi-Fi, Windows 11 Home 64-bit

Review is for:Skytech Azure Gaming PC Desktop- AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 3.8GHz, RTX 3070 8GB, 16GB DDR4 3600- Asus PRIME B550M-A (WI-FI) MotherboardTLDR:- I would definitely recommend a PC from Skytech. Solid experience and PC. Great price too for the performance.- B550M-A motherboard should have been a TUF x570 with the dual M2.- Case is fine but will end up replacing it for the Cooler Master NR600 because of its high end cooling and no RGB on the case. Not really a fan of the Skytech RGB Logo and RGB on the case in general. RGB on the inside is perfectly fine. The RGB case is the only option to get this PC.- PC came with a tech check off sheet with pen/marker to indicate that the PC was actually checked. Nice!Purpose and Performance:- This PC is to be for both a work and play and solves both very easily. Even when opening some really heavy/large files this PC just shrugs at them. The previous PC is a Ryzen 5 1600 with GTX 1060 6GB and is a real workhorse. It started to struggle on these large files as well as some texture processing. It did fine though but far below the level of this PC. I do find that the AMD CPU and nVidia pairing are amazing for both work and play.- The motherboard works well so no complaints. The B550M-A motherboard should have been a TUF x570 with the dual M2. It is just the cheaper board (currently $127) vs the amazing board (currently $189 for the Asus TUF x570 WI-FI). Will replace eventually.- It only comes with 1 M2 slot which is used for the 1 TB drive included. I could not re-use my current 1 TB M2 drive. The board is also really small with no extra PCI slots.Price:Great price for the PC specs. I picked all my own parts to build my own and ended up just a couple hundred less than this. I had some better parts (as I found once it was here) but I also did not have to put it all together and get it set up. This was a definite win in getting this pre-built.Software:- No bloatware. It was clean!- It had most of the drivers installed but I had to update the nVidia drivers (normal) and I could not control the RGB because of missing Asus AURA software. So I went to the Asus site and downloaded all the files for the motherboard. I installed Asus AI Suite and Asus Armoury to control the RGB. Should have already been installed since it was checked off on the list. Not going to take a star off for this though since the rest of the PC was actually set up well.Appearance:- At first I was not a fan of the large Skytech logo on the front of the enclosure. I am still 50/50 on it so would be nice if there was just the RGB strip on the left and no RGB Logo. The rest if the case and parts look great and very tasteful. Not too much RGB and just enough. Very nice.- Cabling was zip tied nicely and routed cleanly. Looks great.Noise and Cooling:- This PC is super quiet. I can just barely hear the fans and CPU water pump/radiator. Even when it ramps up when I work in Blender, UE4 testing, Texture Conversions, or playing the PC is mostly quiet.- The InWin 103 (Skytech custom) case cools really well. The air pressure seems well balanced and the temps are decent. Not really a fan of the Skytech RGB Logo and RGB on the case in general. RGB on the inside is perfectly fine. The RGB case is the only option to get this PC.- I will likely end up replacing this with the CM NR600 since it is a much better case and high end cooling.Misc:- It was shipped with great packing details. Nothing loosened up during transit. Great work!- The GPU is a PNY and ended up different than the pics. I ended up purchasing a Display Port to HMDI adapter for my second monitor. Many cards it seems have 1 HDMI and 3 Display Port so not unexpected.- Comes with a Skytech branded Mouse (decent and light) and Keyboard (mechanical and heavy). It appears the keyboard is well built but I prefer my Logitech G213 since it comes with the wrist support and works with the LGS Software. I also prefer the Logitech G602 since it feels solid and wireless. This Skytech mouse has a similar feeling in the hand.- I have two 500GB SATA SSD which fit perfectly in the two case drive slots. The screws from Skytech were in the box with some extras.- The WI-FI antenna did not come with any method to secure it to the case. Basically it would just slide off from the weight of the cable which is light but pulls normally. I ended up using a magnetic business card sticky to stick to the bottom and a small knife to carve along the edge. It now sticks magnetically on the enclosure.

I had been gaming on my MBP for about 3 years and hadn't had any issues, it ran AAA games like Cyberpunk, Assassin crreeds, Mass Effect games with no issues at 60 FPS but with games coming out with higher requirements I decided to make the plunge into a gaming rig. I looked at a few different ones but decided on this one. Let me tell you it was the right decision. I'm getting 120 FPS with no issues, fans are quiet, the air circulation is amazing. If you're looking at a new rig for gaming, get this one. so far so good (just waiting for that windows update that breaks it) which is no fault of the actual machine.

Aside from myself, there aren't many things I will say work as good as they look, but this is definitely one that does!

Overall it's been a great gaming company. It's always been slow booting up on windows. That's honestly not been a big deal. It's very quiet but it doesn't last very long I've had this computer for only 2 year it no longer turns on. The memory size was a little small by today standard. Overall I enjoyed unfortunately I wouldn't recommend buying it cause doesn't last long.

so far i LOVE this computer! i’ve played sims 4 and dead by daylight on it, on ULTRA graphics. it runs so fast, i’m super impressed! it does not have any sound, so you will need speakers. this is an extremely minor detail that really has zero impact. it came super well packaged, with foam inserting to protect the inside, which can be a little daunting because you don’t want to dislodge anything! but whatever helps protect it is okay with me. also comes with a colorful gaming keyboard and mouse. i’m extremely happy with this purchase, it’s incredible for the price!

Ok so, I’ve only ever seen prebuilts from other companies and they have always been cheap and not so nicely setup. Skytech however took me by surprise . Due to gpu scalpers I chose prebuilt to save on money for my 10 year olds new computer, this thing was very nicely built. It’s beautiful and it screams with speed. Gigabyte gpu, asrock mobo, oylo ram, cooler master aio..... it wasn’t built with cheap equipment. I have to say skytech is a great deal.Update after a few months , the skytech PC is still going strong, I did notice a small detail, the fans and cooler master AIO are not quite enough if you’re running high end games for to long, I could toast bread off the exhaust heat, invested a small amount into a 240 aio and a few Noctua fans and it is now an air conditioner . So just a small investment but way worth the upgrade .New update: almost a year still running strong, 10 year old autistic son hasn’t been able to break it.

I'm quite happy with this PC. It has some minor issues, but they are related more to the design than the actual quality or function.It's expensive, yes, but so are 3080's right now. For what comes in it, the price is completely fair. The build quality was good, cables were managed, it looked super clean inside.No bloatware at all, only thing outside of normal Windows stuff I saw preinstalled were the programs to control the RGB.Temperatures are all what I'd expect them to be, it's super quiet, and overall it's a great machine.My only minor issues have to do with the case they use. It's limited on expansion slots, you can fit some additional SSD's in it, or a solitary hard disk, but not much else. No space where you can put a blu-ray player, for example. I'm also not crazy about solid glass side panels, they look cool but also don't provide for any extra air flow. That being said, I knew that this was what I was getting, and as I mentioned the temps are fine, so it's a very minor squabble.I would recommend, especially if you plan to buy it and leave it alone. If you intend to add stuff it's a little cramped, and well, you probably know how to build one from scratch anyway, so you might not be looking at these to begin with.And of course, if the price seems high, wait for 3080's to not be 2 grand anymore. I would certainly imagine they would cut the price when that happens.
