Hello Dawid! There was a purpose of that foam under the GPU: placing it there prevents the bag from expanding around, and engulfing, the cables running under it.
That’s a pretty good unboxing experience for $800.

I'm quite sure they have a storage building the size of a small country by now. Not criticism, I'm actually in awe of their commitment to preserving prebuilt pc history!
Dawid and Aliexpress are a deadly video combo!
It's always interesting to see these, there is so much quality variance. I am a bit surprised you managed to do one this early in the year though given their usual shipping times.
I love watching these videos. Inspired me to build my own pc, still stuck with a 1660 but looking to upgrade it to a 4070 soon. Keep making great content!
if you want to check a different airflow direction , reverse the back fan too, and do the same with the three at the front to make them exaust
I have helped a few friends with temp issues on this type of no-front-cool-air issue (A.K.A. a "this case sucks" situation) by taking the top fan towards the front and using it to pull air in then the rear top fan to push air out. Just a thought for future testing. Thanks Big D.
I tend to go for lots of intake (front and top) to draw lots of fresh air for parts, and some minimal exhaust - this keeps the static pressure pretty high too - but each config has its pros/cons
I love your vids man I learned a lot about computers form you, thanks man
These kind of videos are totally my dirty pleasure. Love it!
It's refreshing to see new games added to your tests.
I enjoyed that bit of graphics card Flex while you were removing the foam.
Really enjoy ya content from the U.K. mate . Thanks
You should try moving the front fans inside the case to see if temps improve under load. It would make it easier for those fans to pull in air through those side slats.
The 4500 is actually quite a decent budget chip. 6C 12T and AM4 drop in. The stock cooler as you show here with a thermally constrained case is good enough. The other thing about them is the power draw is exactly what you would expect, quite decent. An all rounder in the low end for a good price. A full eco system for it to run in and on. IIRC the 4600G is the same or close enough anyway and adds in the iGPU missing with the 4500 and is all you need for a nice quite low end desktop basic home computer that will do the usual things people want to do with a low end computer.
Dawid!!! Mount the front panel fans on the inside of the frame, rather than the outside. This effectively moves them 2.5 cm away from the front glass and maximizes the benefit of vent slots. Then show us how much cooler it gets!
That's a pretty ok prebuild. The additional foam stop the expanding one getting too close into the gpu. Also top fans ALLWAYS exhaust bc hot air rises. Basics😉 Sure u can build it cheaper by yourself its definitly good priced for one who have no clue on how to build a pc. I like that there are good prebuild aliexpress builds out
Hey Dawid, could you switch the Afterburner graph from framerate to frametime ? I think that's more interesting to see, and more representative of the actual frame pacing.
Love your videos, keep 'em coming. I was kinda rooting for the little guy, because I'm rocking the same video card in my MEGA E-PEEN GAMING PC. :D
I never knew Costco made RAM! This is excellent news for those of us who need computer parts at the same time as an 80 gallon jug of mayonnaise.
Dawid you have helped me so much, I highly appreciate your work, Thanks bro
Pleasantly surprised this time. Good job SI and goob job for the great video!
I believe the Placebo foam is there so the expanding foam doesn't break components as it expands. Just guessing though
I reckon you could've gone top intake and front exhaust. The GPU blows it's exhaust towards the front anyhow so that should have made it cooler. With too many intakes the hot air doesn't get evacuated fast enough, so it just gets pushed around into the heatsinks. I got some thermal probes in front of my GPU fans a while back, and going from one exhaust fan(rear) to two(rear and top rear) dropped the air temp at the rear intake fan from 17C over ambient to about 5C over, and this is all with cardboard ducting around the card to separate the intake from the exhaust as much as possible.
its not only about the performance, its also about the aftersales, ease to access the aftersales, warranty and shipping protection.

most likely the best top fans setup is the one nearer the front pulls in and the one at the back blows out. and have them as separated as possible.
You know, when people buy a new pre-build, everyone always tells them to buy a second stick of ram or a new power supply that wont explode and/or release a pharaohs curse upon ye but the actual best upgrade for a pre-build is just to buy a drill and make some holes in that case,, 500% improvement right there.

If you deduct the shipping cost from it the build is quite respectable for that price point. The reality for anyone is they should look locally for computer stores that do pre-builds you could take that shipping cost and inject it into the major components and maybe get a better processor and gpu for a $100 more.
a little surprise for the integrity of the shipping box...after shipping from China to Canada. btw, the power supply brand is 1st Player, price in china is around $35, pretty low end stuff...

I was interested to see what the top fan switcheroo would do. I have a similar arrangement in my build, originally had the top fans as exhausts, I mean heat rises right? My switcheroo also lowered RAM (2nd stick in the wind shadow of the stick benefitting from front fan airflow) and VRM's. My case benefits from a better design for airflow generally but I was still surprised to get better temps using the top fans as intakes.
I think that PC looks and performs very well for its price range and it was packed very nicely and came with two memory sticks. I can’t fault it, really. I’m not a fan of RGB, but I didn’t hate how those fans looked, either. A bonus that they were quiet in operation, as well.
Your videos never disappoint. Keep it up!!

Wow, this PC will cost me AUD 960 but the shipping fee to Australia is AUD 222. I'm very impressed by Aliexpress price completely beat local computer store price (always above AUD1500 unless u get a celeron or i3).

Watch for import tax/duty over AU $1000 that may not be included in the price.
A thing you should consider on am4 cpu is that enabling pbo always helps, esplecially when cpu bound
With a front mesh case, temps will improve even more.
Super fun video as usual, I'm always here for the sarcasm, just about as much as the PC. Would love to see another ridiculous case build from the depths of the internet.
i love this kind of contents from you! i live in the philippines and they buy their stocks in aliexpress then sell it for a ridiculous price lol
Good unboxing experience, clear instructions, well-built, and all but the power supply seem like pretty solid components for the (pre-built) price. I'd say this one is a very weird win for AliExpress, props to "MXZ"!
Bro i'v just literally finished cooking my noodles i was looking for something to watch and wondered if you uploaded somthing interesting, you're video literally bobed in the screen , i think iam falling in love 😘

What do you do with all this stuff after the video is made?! I just picture a warehouse full of the stuff 😂
Dawid, if you're playing RE4 and it's too dark and you can't see anything, you calibrated the brightness settings wrong. Every RE Engine game has you do this the first time you launch the game before you can play, but you can go back again and tweak it as well if it's a problem in game. If you have an HDR monitor and you enable HDR this issue will be even less so, since bright areas will be much better lit, and dark areas will still have bright spots from reflections and things that help illuminate them well. The lighting engine in RE engine is honestly quite impressive in RE4 having spent some time testing it in detail, especially now that it supports RT
1st Player is a cool brand, had one of the gaming mice since 2015 lol.
You must so many chimera PC builds that shouldn't be alive, but somehow they just won't die. Always interesting to watch though!
You know it means Serious Gamer(TM) when it has a dedicated RGB button.
10:33 "It's too dark, I can't see anything" the video game...yup, that's the impression that I get of it
Do you test the PC and turn it on before you open up any panels and pull things out like the power supply? I feel like if you do not then you could be fixing things unintentionally that were wrong with it before like that cord that was up against the GPU.
I always like seeing junk from Wish and Ali Express. It never disappoints. From the top it looks exactly like my case 1:1, except it has a mesh front panel instead of glass. I wonder if I have a Gigabyte case ? I bought a prebuilt just so I could score a 30 series card when they were impossible to find. I have kind of rebuilt it and swapped out many pieces to kind of make it my own but I still have no idea who the case manufacturer is... It's like a knock off fractal front. Yeah, that is basically the same case just mine has a mesh front. Screw glass fronts. What were they thinking !? Edit : All in all this seems like a decent system.
Fun fact: those rgb fans are sold at big lots (value store in us) with a usb connector! The rgb is bright and the fan is relatively quiet.
I'm impressed by this little system. For fun, could you overclock it and see if you can get a more stable 60 in Last of us?

It's his job. Just like a carpenter needs to keep buying wood, veneer, varnish, and such, to make furniture, Dawid needs to keep buying different sorts of PC hardware to keep the business running. Technically he could even deduct from taxes stuff he buys for his business, but I'm not sure if it applies to this. If he gets a new PC for video editing, then for sure, but especially if he lets go of these random PCs after a while, it could mean they don't qualify as investments.
Aside from the front (gigabyte) and side panels, the case template looks like the raijintek silenos case.. wish David showed the front Fan install to confirm the template there as well
I've been feeling really low today, I'm 1:57 in and already smiling. Even the sponsor ad made me smile, TY for being Dawid...... err Dawid
Not to bad of a starter Rig. It will be easily upgraded a piece at a time when you save up the cash.
Hey Dawid, I think you should try some Oculink eGPU in a budget laptop, it's a small form factor PCIe connection and some companies make M.2 to Oculink 4x adapters that should work on any machine. It should be faster than Thunderbolt enclosures and cheaper too.

I've looked at the ryzen 5 4500 for my next build, I just wasn't sure what the performance would be. It's actually really good considering the average price on ali express and even ebay. I might spring for it now that I've seen a reputable performance review. It'll be pushing an rx580 8gb for the time being anyway so it'll give me plenty of headroom for when I can afford my next GPU.

I bought a Raspberry PI W clone there but it might had been under powered to run Octo Print on it. But I might find another use.
No too shabby, despite aging hardware, choking case and AMD fan it held up well, even in crappy unopztimized newer titles. I guess all these extra fans did well in keeping the temperatures low. Dual- channel RAM is great too, but I wish these people would enable XMP from the factory...

I spit Pepsi out of my nose when you did that joke with the 3-year-old choking in a LEGO factory. Ironically I don't have such an excuse. 😂

You should invert just 1 fan and see what it does. So 1 fan exhaust 1 fan intake. Make the inner fan exhaust make the outer fan intake
