Aventum 3 Unboxing/Review

So, due to a breakdown in communication I started off my morning picking up my system from UPS Freight.









Here we go with the unboxing...







Here are some images of the system set up.













Finally a second video showing the system set up and running.







I will try and sit down soon and write out a nice review, but I am coming up on finals for two of my classes and I am Very busy atm.

So, I have had the PC long enough to rock it a bit. I have to say, first, foremost, and most surprising it is VERY quiet. A dozen fans all running on the digital storm control center "extreme mode" and it is, to me at least, a whisper. If you put them on "quiet mode" they are completely silent.

Secondly, I generally have 3-5 webpages, steam w/chat, battle net/ with chat, discord, and at least one game open at all times and this thing does not even stutter nor has it even gotten a tiny bit warm.

Third, oh yea, it boots in under 15 seconds.

Fourth, that hard drive writes at speeds so fast I cannot even explain it. I have transferred and downloaded huge amounts of information already and it is incredibly quick.

Fifth, I am on wifi and I run around 380mbps down and 38mbps up with the built in wifi on the mother board with the external antennae hooked up. I downloaded League of Legends, World of Warcraft, Path of Exile, Starcraft, Heroes of the Storm, and Hearthstone all at the same time in under an hour.

Sixth, this monitor is GORGEOUS!!! The twin 1080's beast out on my monitors so flawlessly no matter what I am doing.

Seventh, I have still not gotten used to how absolutely beautiful this machine is. The lighting, design, and absolutely incredible amount of attention to detail and time spent to make this beast look the way it does is above and beyond.

she sure is a beauty, also what desk do you have?

Is it a pretty solid desk for the money?

Wow! Looking great. I embedded the YouTube videos.

Nice! 

I will notify the team to feature it.

Damn, that's beautiful! I hope Alex is working on mine, next..

That's bloody awesome, too... wow... but the one thing that really sticks out to me is that the machine is as tall as your desk!! (That's a good looking desk, too.)

Originally posted by Snaike Side note... About the monitors. I didn't have enough room side by side for mine either. So I went vertical with this stand. Just a thought if you ever want to try it out.

That is a nice stand if anybody is looking for one

the QDC's are located at the case wall divider pass-thru's between the mobo and the reservoir, with a short length of tubing going to the cpu and gpus.  

Thanks db, I may look into that if and when I have money again lol...it is the wifes turn. Hehe, spending around 5-7k on turning two of my three car garage into a dance studio for her and my daughters. May be a while...


Thanks a lot Snaike!

Very nice. Thanks for the pics and videos too. Always cool to see people show off thier rigs.

that is a sweet setup but to make a sweeter, put a piece or wood under the rig, so it doesn't touch the carpet. you don't want any static shock near that thing.

also can you tell us how the liquid cooling loop works, for example from the rez goes to cup then rad then gpu ext ext..


is there space in there for an additional radiator and pump?

that would be sweet thx

if u take that side panel off and take some high-rez pix of the insides that would be sweet.
would like to see the tops the sides and a clear pic of the motherboard to see what can be customized in there.
would like to see where the ssd is stored also how the gpu back-plate looks upside down like that

@Democules

I noticed in your video, you had DS send you your old cards' shroud, backplate, etc (all the items they remove when setting up the GPU for LC). They appear to be shipped in the crate with your pc.

I requested the same service for my GPU, so that I can possibly set the card back to original to sell, when a better single GPU option comes out next year. I was told that it would cost me $35, which i paid because it is worth it.

Did you get a nominal charge for DS to do this for you? Just wondering. I hope you are enjoying your new toy.

Thanks Lady, hehe...yea it is a nice desk. I really love it. It looks good and it quite functional.
