Skytech Gaming Chronos Gaming PC Desktop – Intel Core i7 13700K 3.4 GHz, NVIDIA RTX 4070, 1TB NVME SSD, 32GB DDR5 RAM RGB, 750W Gold PSU, 360mm AIO, 11AC Wi-Fi, Windows 11 Home 64-bit,Black

I received the PC, having it shipped to Guadalajara the box was beat up by customs as they wanted to inspect it obviously. After opening the box, everything was perfect, no issues to note besides the box itself being obliterated. Packed extremely well and tight to ensure nothing moved. Inspected the inside and only had to shift a cable that was blocking a fan from spinning. After starting it up, it had an issue with installing windows 11 and restarted mid startup and forced me to start again. Once I got in… this is where the fun began. Windows broke on the initial start up so I had no Start or Taskbar and no access to admin. It came with a bunch of programs preinstalled and all that sketched me out. After spending an hourly searching how to fix the Windows issues… I wiped the PC clean. That fixed every problem. Now I am running Diablo 4 Max setting with 200% 3D resolution and no issues. PC isn’t even running hot when it is 100+ F outside (33C+) and my house is sitting at 80 F. My advice, when you get it. Wipe it completely and you will have no problems. It runs like a dream on my 32” 2k at over 165 fps. At time of purchase the PC was 36,000 MXN, so roughly 3,000 Canadian.

Back in the day, I built PC's before there were system integrators and I really enjoyed being able to find the best quality products and put it together to my specs. There weren't many big companies that made performing PC's, and if there were they sold you proprietary designs that required their power supply, mainboard etc and made them not upgradable. I started down that path, needing to build a new PC to replace my 10 year old gaming system and after a full day of reviewing, landed on the Skytech Chronos II. I found it for $1799 around black friday and made the purchase. When the system arrived, I was pleasantly suprised at the excellent packing - the main unit was in a tyvek like black bag to protect it from scratching and the internals were well secured with expanding foam in bags, and some foam blocks. Checking over the components, I was happy to find (in my system) an MSI Nvidia card, on an Asus Mainboard, with TForce DDR5 ram. The case I believe is a lian li and the AIO is an enermax. All of the RGB components are managed through 1 management software, mine had SignalRGB pre-installed. First impression is that it's a well built system, with nice cable routing and name brand non-proprietary hardware that can all be upgraded at a future date. The system ran flawlessly first boot and has endured hours of gaming sometimes 8-10 hours at a time playing at 4k, 1440p resolution with great cooling. The only challenge I've found has been with getting my sound for microphone adjusted properly and it's probably user error. I also tried not using the antennae for wireless since I was not going to use it and instead plugged it in to my router and found that my bluetooth range was limited, unless I put the antennae on and then it was resolved (so go ahead and put it on!!) I'll come back and update this review in about 6 months, once I've spent more time with it. So far - Highly recommended

This was a perfect replacement for a gaming computer I had been using for the past 10 years! I purchased this as an avid mmo player. I mainly play World of Warcraft and I have seen this get over 500fps on ultra high. I know that realistically you don’t notice a difference after a certain point but it is nice to know that I will be consistently above 80fps. I was barely able to get 40fps on medium-low graphics on the old computer. For the price it is definitely worth getting. Potential to add a second ssd and more ram for even better performance. I did have to purchase a display port adapter for my second monitor since there is only one hdmi port. That is something to consider if you have multiple monitors. 5 star experience from shipping speed to set up to using this pc right out of the box. As many have said. It does come with a keyboard and mouse which is great even though I do not use them. As far as the fans being loud. I presume this issue has been fixed. I have not had to change any setting and they are extremely quiet. During boot up they are loud for a few seconds and then I can barely notice them at all!

Pretty solid and cool looking. :) I did have some issues with the fans to start that I saw in other reviews that I've resolved. The fans were running at full speed and were extremely loud. After some search I read to set the fans to PWM in the BIOS (not DC). That solved the fan noise issue. Hope this might help someone!

For my first PC, the set up was easy to understand and quick to do! I can definitely feel the difference between drawing and gaming on this compared to my laptop. Gaming is smoother and clearer and the loading speed for drawing programs has definitely improved.
