PC with "Auto-Restart" function
A PC should do one thing above all: not shut down when you don't want it to. This PC has been perfectly tuned to have only a few watts of headroom: When a peak current must be drawn, the auto-restart function kicks in. No matter what you are doing, the PC will restart and only because you wanted to save on the power supply.
Pc was sent in warranty to Captiva because of the neustarts. 4 weeks later the PC came back: No information what was done, but on the same day I had two neustarts....
Pro
- ready installed
Contra
- Power supply too weak
- wrong information about the components
- only one harddisk mountable

It is to be expected that at this price, a build with a 3090 will have some rough edges.
I understand that a "budget" version of a 3090 build can't have top of the line components everywhere. Still, I think it's a shame that this build has virtually only "budget" parts.
The motherboard is not a gaming motherboard and in my opinion questionable in this build. The graphics card is from second-rate manufacturers like Palit or Gainward. The Asus, EVGA or MSI versions of the 3090 are much better than this Chinese variant. Likewise, the all-in-one cooling is second-rate and COMPLETELY questionable. The only advantage to a worse Gainward graphics card is the lower noise (since the fans are less powerful). This single advantage could be used to make a "silent" build. However, with a second-rate cooling system, the "silent" bonus of the graphics card is nullified... too bad! The PC is quite loud because of the A-I-O.
The RAM sticks don't have any lighting, but they are okay.
Conclusion: It would be much smarter for a little more money to look for a build with a decent motherboard and CPU cooling.
Note: In the description of the product no components are mentioned. So I think there may be variations in the parts depending on the order. But on the whole I think they won't differ much.Pro
- many interfaces on the case
- RGB fans
- RGB strips on the case with remote control
Contra
- no gaming mainboard
- poor power supply
- second-rate 3090
- LED strips without cover
- no CH cable
- very poor all-in-one cooling
Absolutely unusable power supply and much too loud.
For the price I expect a better performance. The power supply is absolutely insufficient and had in 4 weeks of operation certainly already 5 crashes by the power supply
Contra
- Power supply
- Loud
- Incorrect information regarding DDR4 ram
Great value PC with top brand parts
Fantastic value high end gaming pc which is over 1000chf less than any similar spec RTX3090 gaming PC.
Pro
- cost
- performance
- quiet
Contra
- no recovery thumb drive
- DDR4 could be fastr
