Lo B660 WIFI £99 --> 79 H610 (as good as many H610 in terms for quality on VMS)

Case poor £40 with stock cooler meh £40
Valuation on parts: 850, inclusive of win given.
Postives: Decent for retail market, good for folks who can obtain usage out of more cpu power,
negatives: Temps, can be beaten by other systems for gamers elsewhere for budget.
Verdict: 50/50 dependable on usage, adhock core user system.
-Overall a very good pre-built machine. However be aware of the 16gb of ddr5 Ram.If you need to upgrade this you can only use a single stick which is more expensive as the other channel is blocked behind the cpu cooler
-Spec wise this thing is nearly a beast, however, Asus has cheaped out on the cooling causing the pc to thermal throttle when playing virtually any game.
-Machine is good but limited information about motherboard provided such as what type of memory supported. I have tried 2 memory detecting tools and neither can detect which memory is suitable for the machine and the memory type installed is different to what the manufacturer states is compatible. Also limited upgrade options on the motherboard in respect to number of NVme drives which are supported
-Who thought it would be a good idea to put a stock cooler on a 10th gen i7 CPU?CPU runs hot! Hot enough to throttle and cause the whole system to hang momentarily at the most inconvenient times!The i7 hit 100°C after about 12.5mins of of a popular FPS game (I lost my Gulag!) Apparently, the chips have a safety feature to prevent them exceeding 100, but they get "scorched"... Scorchio!
Any thoughts from anyone who knows please?
It looks like it might be possible to kill 2 birds.... replace the cooler AND thus free up the memory slot.
Yes, processors will throttle at high temperature - but not quickly enough if the rate of temperature rise is very steep. eg try to run one without a HSF will kill it. If not overclocked - the throttling on a standard HSF should keep things safe enough. But rather a waste to do that when better HSFs are easy enough to fit and don't cost much, in relation to a machine of this cost.
Only makes sense for people not wanting to do any research and/or build themselves.
And the case/cooling will make it hard to upgrade over time.
