I bought that Crucial ram and unfortunately it does not clock up to its rated speed. It runs at 2666Mhz. I'll see if I can find a third party kit that would work.
Thanks for watching y'all!
i'm interested to see what works. i have a ibuypower prebuilt (b/c i know f*** all about building my own), and i was curious to know which ram would work. I've heard these pc's don't operate higher than 2666mhz for ram.
Thank you because i tried it and it didn't even read the ram at 3600Mhz idk if i got bad ram sticks or if it was the computer and it was my first prebuilt it took me forever to figure out the problem yesterday but i got it working with the old 3200Mhz it came with plus it was in dual channel on the ryzen 7 3700x with the 1660 super version so not a big problem
is it ok if I upgrade my GPU with an RTX 3070 without upgrading my power supply?
thanks if you find one that works ill click that link and order it.
hiperx predator, 16gigs (2x8) it works oc on 3400mhz stabile... with ryzen 3200g
Dawid is the one guy on UA-cam who feels like he’s talking to you and not the camera
Well spotted. He also doesn't apologise a lot or say "aboot!" (which is how I expect most Canadians talk).
@@buggerlugz6753 I don't think he's native to Canada
@@buggerlugz6753 Yeah I checked and he used to live in Namibia.
This is a very accurate observation.
That's very kind of you to say. 😁
perhaps this's gonna be the one that's gonna get a "eh, it's not bad" from Steve?

"it's a way to get graphics cards"
@Leumens You're right. Searching youtube shows no major channels talking about this line of prebuilts. They always seem to focus on Dell and HP which are really fun to rag on. But looking at their site, the prices are reasonable and with the parts being easily upgradeable, I think I might try to convince my boss to get me one for my work.
Lol exactly. Since this is the top comment I like to add on another note that when they put one stick of ram in there it's actually a good thing. It gets people who are just getting into PC's to upgrade their rig. One stick of RAM is like the gateway drug of PC's. Before you know it they'll be building their own and it all started with adding that second stick of RAM.
@@easley421 @@easley421 i can see where you're coming from, but I'd think forcing people into spaces they aren't comfortable going into isn't really the best thing.
Also, since this pc only support JEDEC memory, they might buy a high speed kit of ram only to end up finding out that it doesn't run at it's advertised speed. I wouldn't want to be in that situation. Imagine trying to explain to the seller why you have to return the kit.
People buy prebuilts cause they're not ready/not willing to build their own PCs, so i really do think that OEMs should be able to deliver that experience without them having to tinker with the PC.
Is it really that much more expensive for OEMs to get dual channel ram in their prebuilts?
That being said, i did actually got into PC building due to a lenovo prebuilt(H520s). Decided to use my allowance to buy that extra 4gb stick of ram after alot of researching, getting into and understanding PCs's actually pretty hard, especially if you can't tell the difference between a monitor and a PC.

I paid 2100$ for my Lenovo Legion early 2021, because of AMD Ryzen 9 5900X CPU. GPU is RTX 3070.

@@V3ntilator hey what power supply did you get like the wattage
Dawid had brainwashed me. When the box of peripherals fell I said “NO, THE E-WASTE!”
just my thought XD
Tbf the keyboard is some tough e-waste, it's very built well for something with shitty rubber domes.
nice profile pic
@@roundduckkira we must keep it in pristine condition so we can properly pollute oceans
I am actually thinking of doing an e-waste peripheral shoot out.
Legion but dawid has now made it "leg-eye-on"
I think it actually means "legiron", hinting at the performance. (single stick of RAM and such)
I think it is "leg-iron", as in the heavy weight the mafia attaches to your legs before dumping you into the river.
I was just reading it how it was on the box. 😂
Leg - ion just like the box said, two words.
Ligeon is the pronunciation though the speeling is legion
Best way to learn if a side panel is glass is to drop it flat from about 20 feet. If it shatters, it’s glass. If it just breaks, it’s probably not glass.
I often drop it twice just to double check.
Have to say... my Lenovo Legion lasted me many years and still using it. It is very stable and durable.
You had me laughing out loud at “Leg-Ion”. Now I can’t un see that.
Leggg Ion gets me every time LOL
Right!
Where dawid gets all of his one liners and zingers Im not sure. What i do know is they're amazing. Keep it up dawid!
Thank you! I'm not sure where they come from. 😂
Must be from the voices in his head.
By far the funniest tech guy on youtube.
Dawid and Linus upload at the same time:
I think I’ll go with Dawid this time
Last time I watched a Linus video it had twomad in it and Linus was so confused 🤣
Wrong choice, son.
Dawid has a better command of vocabulary
Always pick Dawid. At least you won't get bashed over the head with self promotion.
to be fair this is a guy in his apartment, Linus is the head of a company with others depending on him for their living.
I really do love that they gave you the option of having all of the Lenova branded bloatware installed piece by piece. It's nice getting to choose what may or may not be useful to a user.
single channel ram eh how bad could it possibly be lol
Wow, to see a pre-build that actually has standard pc parts in it that you can swap/upgrade. That is rare.
personally i've got sort of a pre-built, you buy a package of parts that you can't really change parts of via their store, and they build it for you no extra costs + it's the standard pc parts and not the pre-built crap
@@marijn17s ah yes. that kinda pre-build is ok of cause. I was thinking mostly of the big corporates like Dell & HP where when you come home & open the case you will find some horrible custom motherboard where you cant change anything & perhaps the PSU has been replaced with like a laptop power block. I thankfully also has a local store selling "upgrade" packs with real pc parts so you can choose things yourself, whew.
@@cholohd32 if you get a custom motherboard and want to swap parts out, can you just buy another motherboard that supports it?
@@user-su6js9po4l Technically yes, but there may be more than one issue that hinders it. I mean is the case iself even ATX motherboard compatible? They quite often cut/blocks/moves things around in big corp factory prebuilds to save money. Who knows if you can even fit a real pc motherboard in it physically ? Then there is the issue of the weird partition on the SSD that factory prebuilds usually come with. On one hand Windows has always been hugely good & flexible to me. Ive manage multiple times to move HDDs/SSD from one pc to a brand new one. And even thou Windows got highly confused by the complete change in hardware it still managed to pull thru (and didnt even ask to reactivate windows). But that was on open normal pcs. But on a factory pc the motherboard bios is usually locked/limited in some way & the partition is custom with a specific recovery partition & they even control windows update as you get messages like "we are working on something" instead of the actuall windows update messages. Who knows if it will even boot on a new motherboard. Hopefully the SSD/Hdd can be reformatted at least & reused (but i have seen sitations like xbox/playstation formatted hdds that couldnt be reformatted back to pc). If you can remove the ram & CPU/cooler normally from the old motherboard you may be able to reuse them as i doubt they change those, however in bad cases those might be "onboard" or soldered down. So make sure to backup your files individually before ever even thinking of attepting "upgrading" such a pc (aka not just the partition, as it encrypted by your windows account that you may never again access if it goes wrong. Actually move you importent files manually yourself to a thumbdrive/external hdd for safekeepin's).
Normally oem's void your warranty if you even open them but lenovo actually encourages you to upgrade your device, even with notebooks
As a newbie to this whole scene, I appreciate the fact you didn’t make me feel like a lost idiot. I was on the fence with this and another PC you made a video on.
Thank you for helping me make an informed decision 🙏🤙
The ryzen 7 version of this actually comes with dual channel ram
same with the i7 10700/RTX 1660S
All of the variants with 16gb of ram that i have looked up are listed as being dual channel. (8+8)
So maybe they only use 8gb sticks?
Since i guess if they standardized on 8gb sticks that would save money.
vs having both 4gb and 8 gb sticks.
Even the 16gb version of this setup
(Ryzen 5 3600, GTX 1660 Super) is dual channel.
And to be fair i would say that 8gb is
Probably borderline even for a new gaming PC today anyway.
(Even in the budget class)
So even if it was 8gb dual channel you would probably want to upgrade it anyway.
I was thinking of also having a look at the higher end version. They look promising.
@@DawidDoesTechStuff Do it! This was the best oem prebuilt I've seen, and the higher end version is probably the one most people would consider buying, assuming it has a half decent graphics card. Edit: I've just looked at the options, and I really wish you could find the Ryzen 5800 version in stock, and its really too bad everything has a 1660 super gpu at best. If you are feeling extra Spendy, I see a CLX 10900k and a Rtx 3070 for $3000? I still wish the Ryzen 5800/ Rtx 2070 version of the Lenovo could be had.

I recommended my sister buying one of those Legion systems. It really stood out against the competition and was even one of the cheapest. Her 16GB were also actually dual channel, which is nice.
how is her legion after 3 years? still great?

There’s a Legion 5 desktop on Costco with a 10400, 16gb, and 1660 super for only $900. Absolutely insane value for the current market
i got that one a month and a half ago exept it came with 8 gb ram but then i upraded to 32 gb

Me almost every day: "Heh... Leg Leg Ion Ion"
I love these prebuilt videos. These are the videos that keeps me coming back, keep it up bro!
i bought this pc yesterday and it is a really good pc. I bought one with 16gb ram which really makes my game run smoother. if anyone is going to buy a new pc soon i really recomend this one!
Bought my Legion T5 back in May (i5 10400F, 2x8GB 2933mhz RAM, RTX 3060) and I've had 0 issues so far. Absolutely loving it
I purchased a legion desktop directly from Lenovo 3 months ago. I have been very satisfied with it. Build quality, part selection, and price where right on point. The one I went with has an I9-10900k, 32gb ram, 2x1tb nvme drives, and a rtx 3070
@@dod1721 Same spec here. CPU cooler is super good (same as the one in Dawid’s although mine is the T7 which is bigger than the one shown in the video) and you can option an AIO as well. Temps are VERY stable around 65-70 running Doom Eternal, Halo Infinite, etc at max settings and, in Doom’s case, with Raytracing enabled.
I got a Legion tower 5i a few weeks ago and I'm loving it, and you only help me feel better with my choice
Just ordered it today from Best Buy and ordered the ram from Amazon. They’ll both be coming in this Thursday.
How you liking this Desktop?
@@Aj80503 so far love it. For me, playing Arma 3 (campaign) and Zero Hour run smooth.
Right now the only real negatives are, no display port and only 1 HDMI. There is a VGA port.
And the 256g SSD.
Lenovo makes pretty great computers and I was surprised how good their gaming desktops were.
listen to the voices again then
Yes but they crash a lot
My first pc was a lenovo pre-built pc back in mid 2000s. It had an intel dual core processor, 256mb of ram, 256 gb of Hdd and came with windows Xp. Later on, I upgraded the ram to 1gb and added an ati 4850 1gb graphics card. It ran for 10 years, and could've run for more but the poor soul just couldn't handle the newer softwares and sold it for 1/15 of the price. I still have fond memories of me playing skyrim and dragon age in it.
“Leg Ion” God I love this guy.
He just read of the cardboard box :/
lol he cant speak right cause the accent
I bought a Legion with Ryzen 7, 16Gb dual channel and a RTX 3070 and I'm pretty happy about it.
The only thing is that with some usb devices I have to use a powered hub because the usb ports on the computer doesn't deliver enough power.
Thanks Dawid for buying these pre-builts and testing it for us!
I was a thinkpad fan boy for a long time but after the t430 they started making them so difficult to customise and upgrade I gave up with them.
It seems like with the recent legions they might just be heading back to what made them great, hopefully they stay on this path.
I have a similar (same brand) computer. It was bought on sale from Best Buy. It has played every game I have tried super well. I have really been happy with it
My personal bit of experience with lenovo service has been awesome. I bought their extended warranty package for like 15 bucks on my laptop and that gave me 3 more years of support. I cracked my screen the second day I bought it by closing the lid while an earphone waa on the keyboard and got it replaced for free. (I know!). The whole process was flawless, the engineer came to my house and repaired it for me. Then every year or so my hdd kept failing because of my stupid use and ive gotten 3 replacement for free. They also fixed my webcam not working for free once, and ram stick that was unseated. I also got a laptop power brick replaced for free. And lastly I found my laptop was overheating so I got it cleaned and repasted for them for like 10 dollars. All in all, awesome support. The laptop still works and is my workstation after 5 years of use
I'm surprised this is $20 cheaper than the piece of crap dells going around with 1660 supers.
It's probably cheaper due to less technical support and other Bs warranty business
Wow! That's crazy. Rubitupdad makes an interesting point. However I would pay not to get Dell's technical support. 😂
@@DawidDoesTechStuff lmao great video I'm sure it'll be on gamers Nexus next.
@@DawidDoesTechStuff lol "rubitupdad" :'D im a child
Ive basically given up on GPUs for my Dell 9010 Optiplex since I just got my Gtx1650 OC LP-card(brand new, and for 260 euros, cheap in these crazy days lol) refunded due to working once. Then never again. Been desperately trying to get a gpu that fits my weak Dell PSU for 6+months.
Everything is out of stock everywhere and Im not payin 500-600 euros for a gtx 1650 when I can buy a pre-built around that price.
Def want a pre-built now, a budget-one. I just wanna game a little bit, then I want to use the GPU for research-purposes, AI-machine learning(Im learning now about that).
I love the way they didn’t even line the ryzen sticker up straight 💪🏼
Even though Gamers Nexus is getting into this, I still say Dawid is the OG of Prebuilt hunting
I'm using my Lenovo prebuilt from 2007 still. It's slow, but reliable. Upgraded it with an SSD a few years ago and it gets the job done.
Dawid, you are quickly becoming one of my favorite content creators, keep up the awesome work you're doing!
So are we going to call this the lenovo legion winner coolface?
Haha!! Great name.

Since I have a lenovo legion T5, I can officially say it's a great prebuilt!
Hi is this Computer a better prebuilt than the Dell G5 or the HP Omen 25l or the omen 30l?
What aboit asus pcs..are they good prebuilts? Should i go for them or this one?.. the one i m looking at right now comes with core i7 with 32 gb rtx ram 3070.
I have this one. I really like it! Already upgraded the GPU to a 2070 and it runs awesome especially for my first PC.
I have the legion T5 desktop and yes I ordered the 16gb version but I was a bit sad to find that it came with a single 16 gb stick. Although the specs are way different it's an Intel 10700 with rtx 3070 so maybe it doesn't makes much of a difference. Would really love if you can do a review of the higher end legion desktop towers as well. I honestly think Lenovo is very underrated OEM builder
Regardless of other products, Lenovo definetly put very much effort to the Legion lineup. The lineup has some of the best gaming laptops, great to see the desktop products are decent as well.
Lenovo has been usually good with ThinkPads too.
I really wonder why these do these two groups well and then we get superfish on an IdeaPad. But then again Lenovo laptop keyboards are good so all laptops from that got that going for them. :p
I have basically this PC, upgraded to 16GB dual channel RAM though, but I adore the thing, it plays pretty much everything I could ever want to play. It's amazing. I also slapped two more fans up on the top mesh as exhausts to help the CPU exude heat.

I’ve swapped out plenty of cooling solutions for customers that has these glued on back plates. Hair dryer works wonders and they pop right off.
I actually deploy a lot of Lenovo systems in corporate environments, and my son has a "Leg Ion" (😅) laptop. The vantage software is quite lightweight and very useful. Even when re-imaging new Lenovo systems with a custom build, I often put the Vantage software back. It's that useful, with no appreciable strain on day-to-day use.
Vantage is just the "HP Support Asistant" of Lenovo.
Both seem reasonably useful and relatively benign. 🤷♂️ I'm genetally fine with both being installed by their respective mfgs.
Just got the mid-tier variation, which has been on sale before the holidays: 16 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD and I am loving it! Does everything you would hope for as a console convert.
Bought one of these with a i9-10900K and 3080 (came with GPU support to combat the weight+length!) Dual channel 32gig RAM and air cooler. Its been a blast! Just another thing of note:
Lenovo has moved all the CPU and GPU tweak settings to Lenovo Vantage (still not as good as having them in the BIOs but you can still change some settings concerning voltage and stuff there). I was also able to simply opt out of all extra bloatware when I started it for the first time and just had to uninstall mcafee to get rid of it. Been very happy with this system so far!
I bought this prebuilt but it's a different variant where it actually had 2 sticks of ram which surprised me when I opened it
Damn gg
Hey, so there's a Legion 7i, which seems to overcome some of the shortcomings of the T5, including dual channel ram, and it seems to have even more fans. Now, the main downside is the fact that it's normally $2,000 for the 2070 Super version, but you can sometimes get it on sale for $1,500, which is way more reasonable.
So yeah, in conclusion: If you want to further spiral into your journey to brokenness, then you can put it on your list of prebuilts to examine.
Crazy how i still have my first ever pc which started as a prebuilt from NZXT and it came with an i5-9400F an MSI GTX1660ti OC which i still have but upgraded the cpu. 16gigs of RAM 3200Mhz idk remember the mobo but i bought a new Z390, it came with a decent cpu cooler i still use, just a DEEPCOOL gammax 400 and 1tb 665p m.2 ssd and i got it all for under $1,000 it’s so crazy seeing the prices now. I’ve upgraded everything except my RAM, GPU, SSD but i upgraded my PSU, CPU and MOBO so im ready for a new GPU and im gonna turn the old parts into a second pc. Just need to find a 3060ti or 3070 for a decent price. NZXT used to be great with their prebuilds but i luckily got mine like 3 months before the lockdowns.
Lol they dropped the GPU down to a regular 1660 and this thing still costs $1150 USD which is crazy man, i hope my GPU lasts until i can get a new one or ill end up having to buy a used 20 series. I have maybe this year and next year to play new AAA games at frames above 120 and that’ll be at medium/Low setting by then :( im sad
I bought the T530 with i5 9400F and gtx 1660Ti for my son 2 years ago when 16 series and gen 9 was new. It had a really pathetic cpu cooler and a single exhaust fan so we put a Tx3evo and a 120 intake in the front and it is still rocking. We went for 16 gigs dualchannel already back then. I must say this looks a WAY better, and also has four ram slots.
With the GPU shortage I got a Lenovo Tower 7i. Which is a Core i9 10900k 32GB of RAM and a nice 3080. I love it. It gets insanely good thermals! as good as any build short of 100% watercooled. It didn't have the same problem with the memory configuration.
Ah yes! You and LTT uploaded at the same split second!!!
When he mentioned that he hasn't mentioned single stick ram configurations in his video lmfaoooo
Dawid does tech stuff > Linus tech tips every time.
Agreed
Dawid does tech stuff= Randomgaminginhd
the fact that Linus makes no effort to review Lenovo is mind blowing. Looks like Lenovo doesnt pay to play with Linus and spends its money on the product.
Dawid actually has soul though......
Ya all I have learned from Ltt, is people with small hands that wear sandals drop stuff.🤷♂️
Lenovo's Legion lineup is definitely a beast. I use their laptop as my daily driver and man I don't have a single complaint
I bought a Lenovo Legion last year! Been running the 1660 Super but finally ordered a 3070 so will be putting that in when it gets here in the mail!😃 Great PC!
I got a version of this with an i7 and it's great. Playing Destiny 2 on it and I'm absolutely delighted. Definitely lots of bloat, but easy to fix.

I love this video, watched it 3 times, did my research with all the other reviews and channels and found this one the most helpful so i did get a lenovo legion and I love it! thank you dawid for the content, keep it up and Merry Christmas!
But ya gotta love that single stick of ram in all prebuilts it's like the boss battle in any video game near impossible to beat
i feel like steve from GN would actually give this one a chance
but it's not oooozzzing pusss out of every orifice so are you sure?

Interesting-the model that Dawid reviewed here seems so different compared to the one Gamers Nexus did especially in regards to airflow.

It's just leg-ion. You know, a leg with an electric charge.
Was debating buying one of these a few months ago with a 1660 super in it for 700 dollars. Was a pretty good deal, but I ended up building a pc when I saw the mobo and stuff. Wanted to build anyways.
I ordered the Lenovo legion 7i in tower which has some promising specs for a pre-built for $2000 packing an i9-11900k, 32gb ddr4, liquid aio + 3 120mm fans, 1tb ssd + 1tb 7200rpm hhd and an rtx 3070 so it'll be interesting to see if the legion series is still going strong.
How much is the price?
@@matmamat9690 my system was $2400 bit was on sale for $2000, and so far it's performed much better than I expected.
I wanted to build a PC, but with limited supply and scalper prices I went with a prebuilt. I got an HP Omen 30l with a Ryzen 7 5800x cpu, Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060ti gpu, 1tb NVMe drive, 16GB of Hyper X Fury 3200 MHz ram (8x2), liquid cooled with a 750w power supply.
I upgraded the ram to 32gb of Hyper X Fury 3200MHz ram (16x2) and added a 1tb SK Hynix SSD. So far I’m liking it, but man did I picked a bad time to get back into PC gaming.
I recently bought one back in early November. Within 3 days of use the entire system blue screened and was unable to connect or see the WIFI icon - it was a hardware failure. Brought the pc back to the store and they gave me an entirely new unit. Today I had the same fucking BSOD for just having two applications open. Unbelievable.
For the last decade or so, Lenovo has been the only manufacturer I would recommend. They actually build their computers to last, unlike HP, Dell, etc..
well they used to be from IBM.
Funny considering both of my lenovo laptops have gone to shit but they're functional at least
To be fair Lenovo isn't perfect themselves (*cough* Superfish *cough*) but when they do things right they usually hit it out of the park.
i have the newer version of this PC, with dual channel 16 GB of RAM, and a ryzen 7 5800 non X processor, and it runs great
same, with 3070
@@achmed51 mine has 1660 super
Let's say it all together, thank you Lenovo
Decent pre-builts are usually found in world 2-3
Packing foam with red racing stripes is a 10% fps increase.
I bought my Lenovo Legion 5i desktop from Costco and it came with a GTX 1660 super with 16 GB of Ram duel channel and I upgraded the Ram to 32 GB and on top of the 1TB HDD I installed a additional 8TB HDD to hold all my games and had it for a year now and still works like a king 😎🙌
Yeah mine came with 16gb ram which isn't bad but I will be getting 2 8gb Corsair to get a total of 32gb I won't need anymore than that
Ah finally something I can recommend to someone since everything else they want isn’t in stock.
Amazingly good compare to some of the others you have reviewed Dawid.. regarding Ram I purchased 1 of the Acer nitro gaming pc very cheaply(450 AUD) and it has the i5-9400 8 gig single stick of 2666 ram a 1650 graphics card so a good buy even with the problems it has ,,the windows re install fixed the bloatware issue and I purchase another stick of CL 19 2666 ram and it immediately recognizes it so that was a gamechanger and finally fitted a fan to the rear of the case making for a pretty good alternative and at $450 aussie dollars with another $50 for ram and a few dollars for a fan its now comparable with the rest of the i5-9400 gaming computers around at about half the price. $450 AUD is about $328 US
So question what happens to all of these pre-builts
I bought a Lenovo a year ago. I'm happy with my purchase. At the time, it was the cheapest route to go with GPU prices and availability. Recently, I upgraded my PSU to a Corsair 750.
Micro Center is having an awesome deal on the Lenovo Legion T5i 26IOB6 right now. I hurried and ordered one. I could have gotten an MSI R gaming computer from Costco for about $300 more with almost identical hardware. When I saw what the cooling fans could do opposed to the MSI I knew I was getting even a better deal. I’m really excited and it comes with Spider-Man Remastered. Glad you had a informative video.
Yup
Just picked one up tonight to upgrade the kiddos limping pre-built from 2 years ago. Seems to be running smooth. Though I'm not seeing any clear definitive answer for upgrading the ram here. Wish I understood deeptek-speak.
I sold a few Leg ions in my retail days, they just... sorta semi get it :L even the laptops are not total trash!
i love how he got tired of saying vinerial disease and hes just saying vd now
You can't look for decent prebuilts if you keep going to see the natural wonders of New Zealand, David!
Keep it up my guy, the future is bright. Right now your LTT light, the decision to. Go for that niche was genius, but also offers me who knows better justify myself.
I’ve had a Lenovo y700 and a legion y530 and loved both of them.
I dunno, but I'm pretty happy with my Zotac Magnus One pre-build.
Crucial seems to have a really good track record for compatibility, especially with OEM, it’s all I buy honestly.
So crucial pcs are a legit company? Nice. I got ripped off by cyberpower tbh
I bught these pc, it camE with intel stock cpu coller, i chose to go for better one and i exacly had that problem with glued socked... As mutch as i was disapoited in the end i was happy. I toke kit from phone repairing and a hair dryer with wich i warm the glue to the point when it get soft and it went very well. After all it is very good pc. My came with rtx3060ti and for coller i went Alkass Venom Voodoo.
I've been re-watching Dawid's videos, and realized that somehow I didn't hit like on like half of them!!! I think they're just so engrossing that I forgot!
Buyers beware that there's no way to manually adjust the fan curves. You can only set the fans for the GPU with MSI Afterburner, but not the CPU or the other cooling fans. Lenovo gives 3 options in their Vantage app (Quiet, Balanced and Performance mode) but to be honest it's crap. After checking the cooling and fans with HWinfo64 there doesn't seem to be a difference between Quiet and Balanced mode. So you are pretty much screwed if one of your fans is shaky or has coil whine when it hits a certain RPM. No way to adjust it, except for replacing it. This is a nice prebuilt and mine plays pretty much everything, but not having manual fan control is quite a dealbreaker imo. I don't care much for rgb lighting, so put mine inside a ventilated cabinet because of that particular fan whine Dawid is talking about in the video.
