Topic: New Aventum X ReviewPosted: 02 Mar 2021 at 6:58pm |

I just want to share my thoughts on this new Aventum X as I think it deserves something positive with everything that has been going on with thees crazy times between the pandemic and the shortage of parts. Lets start off with this isn't my first digital storm PC nor is it my second, my last PC lasted 10 years with the Black Ops Hailstorm II and it has done its job and then some. I first and foremost want to say this BE PATIENT. I have waited for this build to be completed since Nov 27th and has took to this day (Mar 2nd) to be at my door. I know going in what I was in for with all the new stuff and the limited supply out there that there was going to be a delay on top of covid delays so this would take time to build and I wish some more people would understand that better and that there not freaking out on why theirs a delay. There are some things Digital Storm nailed it on and that this rig looks amazing! I love the water block on the back side and how its machined. What was also a nice surprise is how the PNY 3080 XLR8 looks inside. when reading reviews on cards this doesn't really get talked about much and I myself wouldn't of gave it a 2nd look if I know how good it looks fired up with this build. I have yet to test it out with games to see what it can do as im still setting it up with all my crap but from what i seen so far it looks good. Some other things now I think can improve with digital storm is a little bit better on communication and it can/was frustrating not getting a simply replay back like (we will look into it) just so i know it was at least acknowledged with an email. Also UPS didn't help at all with the situation as my system disappeared from tracking for a week and a half with, it will be here on this day and yep will be here on that day or maybe this day or that day, as it sits on some rail car some where in the Midwest as I burn days off from work waiting for it to finally show up. As I say this again yes this system looks AMAZING, will I buy again from Digital Storm... Most likely yes. The specs on this new system is as follows: Chassis Model: Aventum X

Solid build. Mebbe a bit overkill on the proc caused some delay, but, hey, it's here now right?
I'm from back in the Hailstorm days. I got me a Storm Sniper. I'm on my third DS from 2018. Congrats and happy gaming!

Curious why you didn't watercool the GPU?
