"Maybe Acer needs to have an exorcism at their factory or something."
I mean, it's worth a try. 😅
Maybe they did that with my Nitro 5 lol

@@arhumraja8881yeah, but if your previous PCs were Fisher Price, that doesn't say much.
Prebuilts give me E.D.
What breaks me most about the ‘redesign’ is that they kept the angry monobrow \/ 😡 haha oh well! Slight improvement but still a suck edition for sure 😁
It looks like something that would put a pillow over your head while you're sleeping.
@@riven4121lol
It's gamer. 😁
I kinda like the glowy visor V, it makes the PC look like a Cylon.
That red V light gives me strong Cylon from Battlestar Galactica vibes. It looks seriously evil/cool.
'Poo poo garbage motherboard' I don't know why I am laughing so hard at this and revinding it
That killed me too
same here
It's because baby language like that just seems so funny to us (at least me lol), can't stop rewinding that part
Saaame
what model is the motherboard? it has the same motherboard as the new predator 3000
“80+ Gold PSU”
Your telling me they can put in a 80+ Gold PSU but they can’t put in 16 gigs of ram in dual channel?
yeah costs like 40 bucks more for better and double the ram
@@BTaylor1802 sorry its not my native language so thanks for letting me know
@@olivierdols5556 no it doesn't lol you can get two decent 8GB sticks of ram for 60 bucks and that's you or me not the companies that buy these items in bulk. It probably would have cost them around 10-15 bucks to add another stick of ram into the build. Instead they only put one in to save that little bit of money and cost us even more money since ram is more expensive and harder to find if you are only buying a single stick versus two sticks.
@@TheFrogInYourClosetWatchingYou wouldnt it increase sales if they had 16gb instead of 8
@@olivierdols5556 I think so especially seeing how some people that buy prebuilts aren't comfortable upgrading their rig even if it's something as simple as sticking in another stick of ram. So a prebuilt coming with 8GB will definitely stop some people from purchasing it.
I'd prefer they charge an extra 20 bucks and include a second stick. I ended up throwing in two more 8GB sticks of ram in my prebuilt that came with a single 8GB stick so now I'm rocking 24GB. I was able to get two sticks of 8GB ram for 55 bucks which wasn't bad I would have preferred to just pay 20 bucks extra for a second stick of ram to be included though.
"Single channel is bad, mmmmmkay!"
Acer: "ok mister mackey"
“ok mr man”
That power supply and motherboard look like they came from McDonald's Happy Meal toys
lol
Haha!! Yeah it does. I just feel bad for it, considering that it's never going to taste fresh air.
@@DawidDoesTechStuff that hits differently
@@DawidDoesTechStuff It's a pure 12V PSU build, using the motherboard for most of the switching for 5v and 3.3v. It's a much more efficient design. The motherboard is a weird design if you noticed. Makes upgrades difficult but not impossible since many times it HAS to go at least partly through the MB for weird reasons. The SSD is also DRAM-less so its significantly slower than it should be.
the psu it's good, it's a delta or fsp they have solid platform good caps and a good ripple soppression... the only problem is, how it can be cool down in this position?
There are 2 things certain in life: death and Dawid buying prebuilds
What's the second one?

AC: Valhalla has such shit optimization it's not even worth using it as a benchmark.
of course it is. What matters is consistent use of benchmarks. Just using something because it runs well isnt a great reason, having a mix of software/titles and seeing how different machines run all on the same settings and seeing how they cope is the point of benchmarking
It does run like crap, but I agree with IFFY, I think it is still interesting to see how it runs.
I have this pc but with 12 gb ram, gtx 1650 and and a i5 10400f. And have no issues at all. Temps stay below 50 degrees. I can play valorant at max settings and get 300 and some fps
What type of ram did u add? What is it called?
@@wolfgabriel6430 i didnt it was the same model but different specs. I got mine from bestbuy in alberta. It came with those specs.
Ok 👍
I’m assuming the GPU bracket is to help so it doesn’t break in shipping
I got sucked into watching your videos and now I cant stop please help!
I have an acer nitro 50 with 8gb of ram, 9th gen i5 and the GTX 1650.
I bought it exactly like that with the original purpose of using it for graphic design.
I very quickly started downloading and playing all sorts of games. Never once have I ever had a crash running games or my design apps.
I recently updated the ram to 16gb with a second 8gb stick and it’s running even more quickly than before.
I love the computer despite the horrible reviews
Watch out tho, I had the 2017 Ryzen model and after 1 year the hard drive got realllly loud, and after a year of use the entire system started crashing and taking almost an hour too boot
@@downnnnnn I have one with a 512gb SSD no traditional hard drive. All you issues sound like they are coming from the hard drive problem
Hey, those garbage e-waste peripherals come in handy sometimes.
The PC is really small. How convenient! I just hope that everything runs smoothly and that the power supply does not make any noise when it is switched off.
well nothing runs smoothly!
@@Zebra_Paw oh yeah!
power supply does noise when its turned off, overheating problems over 85 to 95 temperature normal settings had to underclock, fans louder than a airplane, pc sucks tbh kinda regret buying it just need a new case. But good thing it has a rtx 3060 ti i5 11th gen and 16 gb ram not really bad for a 1k pc.
@@jsonp209 Thinking about buying it, should run about everything on medium settings right? And do you think it could pull off vr? And will it be fine if I leave the side panel off for ventilation?
@@prydeerrol Games arent a big deal. but if you keep running it while overheating shits gonna destroy youre cpu and then you are gonna have problems. Thats why im buying the Coolmaster H500 or the Pure base 500dx case which has good cooling system and very good ventilation. I suggest you to dont buy it yet but build. The only thing that overheats is the cpu not the gpu (in my case)
Me: Stares at my Acer Nitro N50 old version
Also me: ;(
haha yeah i had one aswell and got ripped off, ended up building my first pc last week spending roughly as much with 5x performance
Yeah I still got the old one too. Hoping to build my own when the 3080 rtx comes back in stock
I bought my nitro for only 500$ 1650, 12gb ram, 512 ssd, i5 9400f, and I'm happy with it. Can't even buy a 1650 rn for under 300 so crazy value
I actually have one of these and it runs most of my games at 100+fps and doesn’t over heat during long use. I just have to upgrade the ram if I want to play call of duty smoothly
I have one too. never gets over 75c
@@361MichaelS20 Im thinking about getting a Acer Nitro N50-620 which one do you have?

I feel so old knowing who Alma is and actually played those games...
HUGE ANIME BREASTS
Tried the first one on PC, but didn't have good enough hardware at the time. Played through 3, and played contractions quite a few times with a buddy.
FEAR is still an awesome series, though the third one is kinda meh.
@@RuruFIN fear 3 isn't even scary or dreadful at all, it just feels kinda cheap
I have this pc with dual channel 8gb and it’s pretty good for me, i get around 75-80°C running cold war on high settings, if i wanted to i could just put new thermal paste on. I just got it as a decent starter pc i can use for a while until i have enough money to build my own
i dont know how to build my own so sadly i cant so im going to be buying this pc and im ny opinion its pretty great even though i dont have it and its great because i has some 2gb office laptop and i only game on it so it really is a nightmare i just need to pass my SATS to get this pc but can u tell me which cables i need to plug it in with my moniter nd pc
@@nubydud4558 it is a great pc! it hasn’t stopped working yet and I can play all top games at at least 60fps. Temperatures are a bit high at first but you can limit them using msi afterburner.
Cables: you get the pc power cable with the pc, so that’s not an issue. Display cables probably a hdmi cable, one that you use with your Xbox or PlayStation already if you have one. Or you can use displayport, depending on your monitor. Have fun and good luck with your SATS :)
Bro, if you live for example in Sicily you're totally fucked, permacrash reboot. Here your 80 degrees would be 90+
imagine having decade of computer experience and constructing this hot mess..
So, if you buy one of this, what you have to do is to nuke the SSD with a fresh windows install, take of the side panel and face a fan like those you would use in the heat of summer to cool you. And that's an improvement. Great work.
Would doing a reset via windows work? Or would you have to completely reinstall windows?
@@FatalDeath I think that the reset via windows reinstall some things in the core of windows and let others to stay, so to be sure that everyting is wiped out I would do the full reinstalation. Anyways if it is a new machine, you won't have any personal data or vital programs instaled.
This pc is my first ever "gaming pc" Minus the ugly case (yes, I want to change the case) the pc doesn't run bad at all. I consistently run at 100fps on warzone (competitive settings) and 320+ fps on Rocket League with max settings at 1080p. Tempretures stay cool and barely get a frame drop. What's even better, it came with 2X 4gb ram for duel channel. I really have no complaints over it apart from the case.
Btw, I also managed to overclock the gpu core by 150mhz and gpu memory by 950mhz without hurting the tempretures. Overall, a decent entry level system.
can u reccomend any cases that would be compatible with the pc
@@jacbb5128 so i recently bought a Corsair icue 4000X rgb case and it works brilliantly. In the Corsair case there is a metal plating that hides the cable that you'll need to take off or else the motherboard wont fit due to the odd design of the motherboard. The pc case is amazing and the cooling with fan header splitters works absolute wonders
@@nowshefeelsepic7826 thank you so much
@@jacbb5128 you're more than welcome :)
@@nowshefeelsepic7826 sorry one more question do u have the gtx 2080 version of this pc or the gtx 1650
That was the power button? I thought it was a disk drive
I am dying inside when someone uses itx part with tower pc case (not sff)
i have that pc, it’s amazing except you need to buy a harddrive because it has 500gb, but i have the RTX 2060 version
Do you recommend it?
Acer had to know that by putting “do not touch” on the gpu, that Dawid would have touched it.
I like the look. If they swapped that ATX PSU for a SFX unit, added a 4th slot in its place to make it full microATX, put some mesh in that front end, then sold it as a tiny SFF microATX case, I'd buy one.
so if it was whole new setup youd buy it? just buy a different one lol if they changed this and this and this and this. dont think there was anything left after what youd change
Thats the point though, it has too many issues that need rectifying for it to actually be decent enough for the money, these prebuilt manufactures need to be sued for taking advantage of its customers and selling PC that clearly get far too hot. You just aren't getting your money's worth @@allenzapata9284
The reason those manufacturers do those back plates is actually so that the GPU stays secure in transit but the purchaser does not have to open the side panel and remove a bunch of expanding foam like if they bought a system from an SI like ibuypower or digital storm
You should do Acer stock vs.fresh Windows Install
Just purchased one of these babes ! Hey the four finger on off button is a nice touch, and the battle star galactica red mono brow is the bees knees. Your just too fussy! I will buy 2 chocks to put underneath to let psu breath though, and extra ram. Plan to use for video editing I'll let you know how I get on.Oh and bought a bottle of gremlin spray!
And some toilet paper to give the motherboard a quick wipe over:)
A follow-up after a reinstall could be interesting.
I got an entry level MSI Codex pre-built pc and it works. It keeps BSOD almost every time I use it, this only happens after a while though. I’m going to get it fixed, so hopefully it won’t BSOD and I can get a hardware upgrade.
Its the SSD iirc
I actually had a rant at one of my work colleagues about the whole single channel memory thing with pre-builts, and her response was "Well, I assume they want you to spend more to put more in" - I mean, she's right, but that doesn't make it any less annoying. It's the whole 8GB v 2 x 4GB saga all over again! Great video as always Dawid :D.
Honestly I dont mind the single channel 8 GB stick. If you're buying a prebuilt in these modern times then 16 GB of RAM is a must. The prices of another 8gb stick are reasonable too so for me its a day 1 upgrade.
@@Covid-bv4hpin the uk it’s £33-34 for consumer 3200 cl16 2x8Gb kits.
These prebuilt manufacturers can get ram for much cheaper than we can, it’s genuinely inexcusable especially if it’s more than £500
well i got one..it came with 1 tb hard drive..8 g ram.....2g geforce graphics..
i added an ssd and 16 g ram for a total of 24g....the machine works really well..although i only use it for e-mail and you tube..
what ram did u add
It’s hotter than my sleeper rig, but performs wayyy better :,)
My sons one has crapped out, no power at all, there is power from the psu to motherboard, but it wint boot, no lights nothing, replaced the cosmos battery, checked the on-off switch, and it's dead after just two years.
Did the graphics card give up on life?
It’d be interesting to see if the gremlins went away with a clean install of windows. Then it definitely would be the bloatware.
I have the Nitro n50 600 and I have never had it crash , it has been a very reliable system for the money.
Just discovered your channel today, really love the content. Pretty rare to find stuff with such a knowledgable host and great production quality.
I purchased another 8 gig stick with the 19 cas latency u spoke about in a previous video and now its running at 16 gig x 2666
Yup, those are the questions I always tend to ask myself when dealing with a new PC: How much venereal disease does it have and is it haunted....quality stuff m8:) You always make me laugh at some point in the video:)
"Let's open it up and see what kind of venereal disease it has." LOLOLOL. Funniest thing I've heard all year.
In my opinion this is an AMAZING beginner pc
Can it run rust well?
@@joc1634 yes
Re install windows to have a clean install and that that you get better performance and put 2 sticks of 8 gigs ram in
0:38 that’s what she said
Nice to see that asser is still at it.
i feel this case is a perfect candidate for a side panel fan directly over the gpu. It already looks like it's from that era so why not.
Good point. They probably outsourced the case construction to outer Mongolia.
i have the old acer nitro n50 and it cant even play warzone, my gpu overheats when i play almost any game for example csgom do you know how i fix that?
The case looks fancy ngl
Can you remove the backplate off the gpu
"how much vd does this have?"
It has win 10, that's the ultimate vd.
One positive thing that may be worth a mention that I dunno if you touched upon -- judging by the shots of the inside of the case, it looks like it would be compatible with a micro-atx motherboard, even though the board it comes with is proprietary. Could be fun for a sleeper build, perhaps?
Again, I can't say just by looking at it, but I have this fascination for weird/irregular tech that prebuilt computers come with.
The shitty proprietary motherboard is probably the reason behind the spooky demons hauting your Acer.
I very much agree with you on that one. If a Windows reinstall on a new SSD doesn't fix it, blame the poo poo garbage motherboard.
Can you even remove it 😂😂
Always a good feeling when u see a good deal on a pc at the shop decided to buy feel all excited about it (acer nitro v1 ) only to search up reviews on it after buying it for Dawid to slate your pc for over 10 minutes straight XD
Because of the really good specs (for the price) I want to buy this PC, but do you think I could fix that PSU ventilation problem by putting bigger things underneath for more clearance? If yes, how much space does it need?
honestly since the intake of the psu is at the bottom just lay the case on the side. Lay it on small brick tiles to elevate a few inches from the floor.
Can you just point a fan at the PC?
does it come with the wires to connect to the wall and monitor ?
Lots to improve on this pc but for an entry level pc, it’s pretty solid
I AGREE! Despite the hate towards this pc, I do really like it since I don't play super high graphical games. I really enjoy it.
okay, so basically heres a rundown with all the issues i've had with my acer nitro 50 within a singular year of receiving it.
1. my whole operating system corrupted.
2. my ram died.
3. it's been extremely trash in many ways more than one.
4. not even joking when i say this but mine has a singular hdmi port and its trash
5. why is there a flubbing ginglebus DVI PORT?? this isn't the early 2000s where we all have dvi monitors that are in 480-720p dude
6. no display port. i literally cant run more than 240hz without it literally suffocating
7. the psu is trash, it can't supply the graphics card enough and it literally overheats so much.
8. the case is SO bad like i literally can't move it without it turning off.
9. same thing with the case but this is kinda crazy, so one day i was playing recroom like a week after i got this computer and it literally just turned off. do you wanna know why? the ram literally overheated from running discord and rec room at the same time, also recroom was on the lowest graphics possible
10. the fps this thing got in games (300 in fortnite) vs now which is like 100, which isn't caused by any bloat ware because i don't have like any extra apps since then and i never download anything sketchy, this thing has literally just died over the years, i even got 32gb ddr4 ram and it hasn't improved it at all because it's literally TRASH i'm going to be getting rid of this thing.
the good things
1. decent fps in roblox and fortnite
2. it doesn't run anything besides that because i have 400gb of storage.
keep in mind this is a 800 dollar computer and for the same price i could've build my own with a 1660 super, i7, 32gb ram, 1tb ssd, and a corsair case with a 600 watt power supply.
i love acer!! (they're so trash.)
The OG modding video was QUALITY!!
Thanks! I really enjoyed making that one.
Wtf was that little laugh after he said “keep on learning”?😂😂😂
Thanks I was waiting for this review. I saw this on BestBuy. Looking for cheap gaming pre built pc.
I'm buying it too but with better RAM and SSD
I use this of recently got it about a week ago and for me it has been working amazing and good for gaming if you want top tier graphics and gaming quality maybe not the best pc but for competitive gaming and streaming and recording it works amazing for me.
@5starDee Overwatch, Valorent, gmod, apex, fortnite and warzone rn they all run smooth
@Milatcho it makes so much loud noise for me
@Milatcho any tips Im going to buy it and have no idea about anything to do with pcs
Still good?
Should I buy this pc my budget is 1100
did u end up getting it
No I’m getting a pc August 6 and I’m not sure if I should get this one or not
@@Hi-ue2jf I have bene fishing for a good pc for the last couple of days, every single prebuild is 'bad' for every review. I think this pc isnt that bad, you can uninstall the bloatware.
Only thing weird is the power supply fan on the bottom, but if you put it in a different case (later) or maybe just put elevate case with the bottom fan having more space to breathe its not that bad imo
Ok good to know thanks
"Skillshare is an amazing online LEARNING community of LEARNING..."
yep!
The ewaste peripherals however will never get old! It always makes me die of laughter, especially when they are actually not looking that bad!
I cant fathom why big manufactors like this cant even manage a simple thing as temprature in a prebuilt.
They can design this stuff from the ground up and they have engineers and entire QA departments and yet they still push out systems that throttle and give unhappy customers.
What gets me, is that even if the parts are ok, you have to be a tech enthusiast to sort it out. In this case, buy 8g of extra ram, reinstall a fresh windows to get rid of all the bloatware, add an hard drive for backup storage as 512gb will not last long, and even after all that there's not room on the case to add more fans to solve the heat issues. To solve the heat issue you'd have to go all Jimmy to remove the drive cage and drill holes to start mounting input fans in the front and another exhaust fan at the top. If you could do that you could build a better pc for less. So at the end of the day these pre-builds are just there to scam people who aren't into computers :(
I just bought one with a 3060ti 😐
F
Just curious what you are doing with all of those PCs that you reviewed for us?
Normal People: "PC"
Dawid: "Pee C"

I haven't seen such a proprietary motherboard since Dell's BTX boards and HP's office boxes from 2007.
this computer works great and is great for people without a lot of money this video is honestly insulting..
But you can build a much better one that doesn't try to eliminate itself just by running anything for cheaper, and with all the issues that just pile up it isn't worth it
Yeah I picked this one up on sale for $499 as my first true gaming PC and when it comes to building my own I didn’t want to mess anything up my first time around so I actually like this PC
I just spotted this Nitro 50 in the wild today in Singapore, and someone was seriously considering buying it as well. It's 1400 SGD or roughly 1050 USD.
At least it has a back fan so it's not going to be THAT hot

I've watched more videos of yours in the last 3 days than I'd like to admit. its like you're the ashens of PCs absolutely 10/10

Honestly if you add the ram and just reset Windows fully I think it could be alright. Airflow ain't great but if you get it at a good deal it could be fine
Everytime I see these pre-built PCs I'm more and more happy to have learned and built mine.
Hitting thermal limit like this is absolutely unacceptable. This build (and many other) always reek off the ''it works good enough and they don't know better, so whatever'' mentality.
Like in LTT newest tech shopper. Even in the winning iBuyPower build, when he put on screen the ongoing benchmarks on the 2070 super that it was hitting 1665 Mhz core clock.
This was a MSI 2070 Super (not a blower one). I have one of the cheapest 2070 supers in my PC (gigabyte windforce 3x) and at base settings in goes to 1965 Mhz at less than 65 degrees. Stable OC at 2025 lower than 60 degrees with ajusted fan curves (I have a good arflow case). The pre-built basically gives you a 15% drop in core clock compared to a cheap GPU of the same kind. Wild.
Anyway good video, I really like those.
The SSD in that system is actually better than I was expecting. The SN520 is DRAMless and doesn't have HMB for some reason, but it beats the trashy WD Greens that a lot of OEMs put in their machines.
Lesson 1: if its Acer dont buy it.
Lesson 2: there is no lesson 2.
Lesson 2: never forget remember lesson 1
They have monitors tho
Lesson 3: Build your own pc next time, would save you money and can probably run much better.
@@olanze you didnt learn the lesson of the gpu shortage
@@olanze No
I feel like the side panel on the first one had more effective ventilation (more airflow) even if the overall area wasn't as large.
This guy just hates acer likes wtf
No complaints about my Acer prebuilt. Granted it is a non-gaming model which I added a video card and upgraded the power supply, but it has met my gaming and computing needs quite well over the last 3 years.
Hoping to keep it going for a couple more years before I do a major upgrade to it.
My acer prebuilt was actual dogshit.
@Dawid - I noticed that you shortened your opening 'theme'. I think you should go back to the full opening, BUT use the scene on here where the gpu says "don't touch" with you touching it. That would be fitting.
I always am early for these vids and enjoy them but I still cant afford it sooo. Thats that
Bro you have the cheaper option , you could get the better one for a little more money , it has much better placement for vents etc. and it has RTX3060 on it ! intel I core 5 11th gen . true it had 8 gigs of ram , but I upgraded it to 24 for around 50 bucks and it has a 256 gigs of SSd and 1 terrabite of HDD , I also put another SSD which is 532 gb and the PC works like a charm ! You should've reviewed the better version of it , also the vents are very good engineered and they keep the PC cool all the time , even tho the case is small tower . :)
Summary: don’t buy a gaming prebuilt from a company that makes office computers
Actually that new case could EASILLY be "hotrodded" for much better airflow. Remove the hard drive cage, install fan onto empty holes as front INTAKE. It will be limited but a pressure optimized fan should pull much more air in than nothing. The GPU "backplate" is a brace that will help guide air from the front intake to the GPU. It even has slits cut to allow airflow front to back. REVERSE the exhaust fan by the cpu, use as rear INTAKE. The case will have passive exhaust out the side panel. The only real cost is a new fan, and the sacrifice of the HDD cage. But you could still slap a couple of SATA SSDs around to make of for some of the HDD cage loss. The worst choice they made was the excess of side panel ventilation. A substantial portion of the front INTAKE airflow will be lost out the bottom of that side panel. Covering the extra triangle they added this generation could improve the path of fresh air to the GPU and not wasted out the side panel. Can the panels be swapped?
Always love your videos man, they get me thinking.
You seriously bought the version with 1 8gb ram, and then complain about it
I guess you could find a gaming PC with Windows ME on it. That's what I built in early 2001 with a 1 ghz Pentium III with 256 mb ram and a 32 mb GeForce 2 graphics card. Of course I later upgraded it to XP in 2002.
Pretty sure the air flow comes from the back for the PSU
10:10 - 10:18 What do you mean by that? That the GPU is a small version affects its temps negatively? If yes, why do you also mention the CPU? They only come on one size and the motherboard and case are not tiny.
