My PC has a secret as well: when you start editing in Premiere, it turns into a space heater.
Mine have a secret as well, every time i try to turn it off, it restarts
Always has been.
@@ristri16 i genuinely had this problem with a laptop years and years and ago.
(Maybe 6-7 yrs ago)
I always wondered why
Thx lord technology is advanced now,and i also have a 3080 lol to not have any issues
Mine likes to blow the fuse
Magic PC.
Linus: Their pitch is that they charge you an extra 75$ to build it.
*NCIX INTENSIFIES*
Atleast they are honest.
It's a $75 convenience charge which when you consider the amount of time to might put into assembling a machine is quite reasonable
@@FoxDren they charge you $120 for windows though, even though most customers already own windows or could easily spend $3 on ebay for a key for an operating system that was free for like 9 years.
@@FoxDren they probably also make money by buying components in bulk so they get a discount.
@@lowercasesush1057, oh, they definitely do, but if they're marketing to someone interested in buying a pre-build instead of building it themselves, that someone also is not really the type to follow the sales to get the absolutely lowest price rig, so that's not unreasonable. Plenty of other SIs do the same AND charge a 10-20% mark up on top of that AND skimp out on the quality of components like PSUs.
I don't get it
order one for your "secret shopper" series... i wonder if their cable management would be of the same quality.
Everything's been shot and edited already
@Rusty Springs could throw NZXT BLD in there too. Would like to see customer support also
But then how would they get paid?
@@lordv1le859 I could be wrong, but I thought Gamers Nexus did a video on NZXT BLD as a secret shopper.
@@TheMightyRecom They also did a Zen 3 review, several in fact, does that mean no one else is allowed?
This is several months after the review, and I bought my own Build Redux gaming PC from these guys. I also have the 10700K Core i7, I could only afford the RTX 3060Ti, the 512 M.2 4th Gen and a 2TB platter disk. The remote that came w/ my system controls the RGB lighting to just about any configuration you can think of. The R on the branded liquid cooling unit is not controlled by the RGB lighting. The case looks great, the cable management is exactly like in your video, the water cooling tubes at the bottom, pretty much, exactly like your own build. I have the 32gb of RAM tho. My system runs great. I have no issues at all. I got mine w/o the OS installed so I could set it up myself. This system is pretty bad ass.
How much did it cost, if you dont mind me asking?
@@envyomenn8106 Kinda late but according to the site, the build he described would've been $1858 USD.
Waste of money
@@blasianking4827 Thank you.
@@jayj-fx326 why do you say that? If someone doesn't build their own.
Linus: "We have Microsoft Edge!"
*Drags to Recycling Bin*
xD
I was waiting for that joke when it came to bloatware, but was disappointed by solitaire lol
dumb move, the new edge is excellent
@@kevinm4x I know man. My default browser is Edge. Gotta rack up those points for Xbox Game Pass
@@kevinm4x I know, but that was the old Edge he put in the bin
@@kevinm4x new edge's still trash
If this was sent by the manufacturer, they might have done nicer cable management just for you. You should do a secret shopper to see if it’s real!
Yea, sometimes he mentions stuff like that, that they do things more pretty, just here he seems to have not.
Maybe the sponsor notes mentioned that.
Yeah, but it was a sponsored video. I'm not supporting it, I think it's a dumb idea, just pointing it out.
Actually, they've already recorded secret shopper season 2. It might even be already out on floatplane lol.
@@corruptedcardinal9253 Nice, that series is 🔥
@@corruptedcardinal9253 it is
Linus: "Not too shabby"
the game: *is running at 300-400 fps*
He’s experience $20,000 pc’s he is now used to 9999 FPS
when my computer runs at most 60fps lol
My potato pc barely managing 4 fps on roblox
He’s also playing a very simple game. And the monitor probably cost more than the pc
Just received my Redux PC. It took 7.5 weeks to arrive. During this time, they provided little-to-no updates. My order was "Pending" until one day it was "Shipped." Shipping was pretty fast - 4 days for cheapest shipping option. They charged me $832 for an RTX 3070 (this seems a little shady given their claim of MSRP prices). The unit arrived without noticeable damage. Unlike Linus's version, they installed the water cooler oriented upwards, and you can indeed hear the bubbles sloshing inside occasionally - otherwise it's very quiet compared to my old PC. One memory stick seems to be questionable - it often stalls on DRAM during BIOS. One fan is not spinning and I seem to have trouble getting it to boot up after it's been powered off all night. Once it's up and running, it runs nice and gets 90 FPS on Ultra settings on Witcher 3 on 2560x1440 resolution. I'm kinda miffed about the price of the RTX card, but assuming they can help fix the fan, memory, and boot issues, overall I'm not unhappy with the purchase.
It's a lot faster wait times nowadays about 2 weeks or even less
Update: I had to send it in to get repaired because it kept failing to boot. I think they replaced the RAM. They also provided a replacement fan but didn't install it for me. I lost the packaging after my initial purchase, and they charged me $50 for a new box to ship it in. Don't discard your box! After the repair, it works just fine.
My experience was better in that being that I ordered the good shit, they may have prioritized my quality?? I dunno, makes sense from a company perspective. It was good all around.
For 75 dollars I think they did an amazing job! If I was going to buy a pre-build this definitely would be a consideration.
Pricing is pretty off their claim for only 75 dollars is pretty bs like come on a 1650 for 170? You can get those for as little as 120 even less if you look around well enough.
Not only is the pricing off they are also selling windows for 120$ in every system which is a joke.
@@nottroop5389 I was wondering where their margin came from. That explains it.
@@nottroop5389 thats because its an official version which is not much cheaper than 120 dollars, of course you can always buy it from key sellers, pirate it, or not bother and use it without activation.
are you going to pay 800 for a pc with i3 or r3 ??
dude, thats nuts. as much as i want to build my own pc, this is amazing pricing to have someone build it for you.
7:30 - That RGB remote is for that acrylic GPU support. I actually bought one of these off Amazon a few years back. It came with the acrylic piece which had a small recess, a small RGB strip on acrylic that fit into that recess, and a remote. From what I can tell, though, the GPU support they sent does not have that recess for the RGB part, so I'm not really sure what's going on here. I just wanted to mention it.
Edit: Read Korbinian's reply.
rgb remote should have a “M/B Sync” button to switch between remote and software control of the fans
The RGB remote goes to the "DS PCB" he noticed. Clicking on the lock button 5 times in a row, or holding it down for 5 seconds (one of the two) should get it to sync the remote to the LED control board, allowing him to control the lighting. The acrylic board support came with the GPU, and since you bought it, you get to keep all parts that came with the components.
@@korbinianlisandro5586 Ah, I see. Thanks for the correction. That makes a lot more sense.
I start thinking that they review prebuilds just to get their hands on rtx 3080's
Seems like getting a prebuild would be the easiest way to get a 30 series card right now
@@Hyphonetics Honestly not even that bad tbh, I hate prebuilds personally but these don't look to shabby
@@PilotZoomer thats cause these arnt generic pre-built they are essentially custom pcs built for you. Similarly to bringing parts to a micro center to be built for you.
@@hundredlives3910 Go to there website and take a look, it's just another SI.
Plenty of SIs use retail parts.
You can't really customize the build other than the processor, storage, and gpu. Also they don't list the exact model for RAM, PSU, wifi card.
They are really just another SI like everyone else
@@jameshou7911 do you think I should get one with a r5 5600x and 3070 for $1653 or is that over priced ?
I think they are reviewing all these prebuilt systems so they can harvest the 3080s from them
I can stop laughing at the fact you said “harvest”
@@mattpeltier6946 well miners are mining so id say that is an appropriate term.
Is there custom fee if it ships to Canada?

"very similar to the model we had with NCIX PCs"... that might be a clue....
I don’t get it
@@arcanum3882 basically, there are at least 1 person from NCIX in Redux
@@arcanum3882 It means Redux might, you know, go bankrupt in the future
@@pixels_per_inch took time to look at their actual price and i dont think that will be a problem they are making the same to sell a windows key or roughly the same as to build it. and they are only selling pcs to people who know about cpus, gpus and bling almost everything else is very basic (they dont even list a brand or speeds on the memory)
you mean NZXT or something else
12 years ago I bought my first gaming PC and it was a pre-built from Digital Storm. It was an absolute beast of a machine. The cable management was top notch and the liquid cooling on the cpu and dual GPUs was amazing. I build my own now but if I had to recommend a pre-built it would be from DS and now Redux if they are an offshoot from them. Also, I had a power supply fail almost 2 years after I bought it and they shipped me a new one in less than a week. Customer service was on point.
"We've got geforce experience, microsoft edge."
(Immediately drags edge in the recycle bin) 😂
I literally just built my own PC and after looking at their website, customizing, and price checking everything... I'm almost regretting not buying a prebuilt. The only thing I wish they offered instead of a GTX 1650, or 1660, was an RX 580. But overall, I think I might use my tax return to buy one anyway! with a 2 year warranty on everything, you just can't beat it.
Hey man I'm thinking about getting one how is it after a year
@@Mk18_40mmIt’s best to build your own computer or to buy parts and then commission a local store to build it for you.
I've been considering ordering a new PC from this place. I've built my last two PCs, but I'm feeling a bit lazy these days, so the assembly fee might be worth it to avoid that whole process. I figure a builder like Redux is a nice middle ground between building my own and just buying one off the shelf at Best Buy.
Linus: *plays first level of doom eternal again
Me: *Takes another shot

Xasmanius Völk what are you even saying
@@chockie8363 he is assuming in Linus's region, the shipping company is shittier than in his region, that's why.
Yeah, whenever I see videos that involve product shipping that’s filmed in North America this kind of thing happens all the time. I end up thinking that it must be North American post service because I live in the uk and I’ve never received something that was damaged in shipping and only rarely (once or twice) heard people say they have.
“If they didn’t want it torn down they wouldn’t have sent it to me”!😂 You know what Linus, that weirdly makes sense!😎
you ruined it

@@m4tijas111 all I edited in was I am thankful for getting my first heart!
Omg 😳 I didn’t know that editing it would remove the heart! Can I please get another one Mr. Linus?! That was the first time ever I had got a heart on my comment so I didn’t know
Perfect timing for this video as I'm currently looking for my first gaming rig pretty sure I've watched like 30 linus based videos just to get some Idea of what's good
I checked out their build planner, I think they might want to add a VR option to the games played as that will 100% change the parts you'd want in the system
i love how linus just mentions microsoft edge then immediately throws it in the recycling bin LMAO
and then proceeds to use it anyway
What's going with edge. i use it as my browser now both mobile n PC
@@milotherocket your comment just offended literally 99% of all windows users
@@uyghur-zv4fe well the new edge is based on chromium so it has almost all the extensions n features i need. Except for history sync but I dont really miss that.
@@milotherocket well, most people who did not use edge earlier probably still do not use it because all they see when microsoft says "Oh NEw EdgE", they just assume its just more bloatware (which it kinda is in some ways)
i personally am using google chrome and will keep using google chrome, but i do not think edge is as trashy as it was before
Actually looks like a good SI. Aio installed correctly, decent part selection no air suffocation decent price!
God job there redux :D
Is there custom fee if it ships to Canada?
I bought my system about a year ago from them. I loved it, and since then have gotten into PC Building more. I wanted to upgrade my rig and came to find they swapped the case fans with proprietary RGB connectors, and the remote that came with my Redux PC bricked within a week, so now I have to buy all new ones.
Think the only changes I'd recommend to them: Include more memory options (at least add a 32GB option), choice between air-cooled and AIO (rather than forced option). And maybe some variance in the power supply as mentioned would be nice for higher end rigs
Also hoping they include the RX 6000 cards when they release... but that's a "yet to be seen" situation.
Is there custom fee if it ships to Canada?
they added 32 gb ran sticks but i have 32 ram alrready so ill jusrt swap that out i got the 16 but ill swap it out
they have a option for 32 ram, what they need is a option for even more ram. That is my only complaint about this company lol but 32 ram is fine
@@bobbythorton7693 you can also get more ram on your own
Just when you thought the power supply shortage was over... RTX 3000 comes out
I wonder if that 600W PSU can handle both space heaters at the same time...
I have that 3080!
lucky
The back plate is more of a gunmetal than brown I'd day.
I got 3070 version.
I'm confused, is mine meant to be brown too? It looks as black as the rest of my case.
Edit 8 hrs later: I get a bsod.... :|
Is the backplate really that ugly or is the camera just doing it dirty?
Good job little buddy!
Got a PC from these guys. Exactly as picture. Fantastic build quality and cable management. Took a month and a half cause they were backed up but the wait was worth it.
what number where you
thank you! been seeing lots of messages saying that the shipping takes a while but i’m glad that atleast the build quality makes up for it.
I ordered a 3070 rig from Redux and received it in 12 days. Very happy with it and would definitely recommend.

I ordered from Build Redux on the 7th of December and still haven't received my computer it's now Jan 17th. They've stopped responding to any of my calls or messages or e-mails. They said it would ship the week of the 11th, when I was able to get through to someone back in early November, but it didn't.. Still waiting today with no idea as to when it's supposed to come. Bad wait times and no communication makes for unhappy customers.
Hey man! I help run a discord server for BuildRedux customers to commiserate/compare notes! We have about 125 confirmed orders in chat (barring ppl that joined, confirmed, and have since gone inactive), of which 50 have received tracking and/or the PC. A lot of the people around your order date are starting to get their PCs in so you probably have no more than a week or two to wait.
The lack of communication has been awful and they've had a number of setbacks, but PCs are making their way out to the people.

5:00 The tech Jesus is smiling
I'm impressed that the Front AIO tubes are in the right position, being at the bottom instead of the top
Clearly, they take the Tech Jesus finding seriously. Nice small detail from them.
Isn't that the wrong position? The bubbles will go on the top where the cpu is? I may be wrong
@@qwerasdfhjkio any air bubbles will rest at the highest point, which in this case is the radiator as the top of it is slightly above the CPU pump.

Just bought one from them today. Can't wait for it to get here!
Let us know, what made u choose them over nxt what ever its called i forgot
@@TommyDavidVerbal I wavered HARD on my choice between NZXT and Redux, but the decision I made was base on money, and options. NZXT at the time only offered one type of card upgrade and that was the 3090. I didn't want that. And they also didn't offer a 3060 either at the time. I'm not trying to play in 4k, so I really didn't see the value in picking them for the available build options they had.
I went thru the same mental negotiation with Maingear, Origin, ROG, and even buying parts individual and building it. Price, and availability, as well as build quality, was my end reason.
@@NinjaYodinTV is it any good?
This is interesting, might be right up my alley. Thinking about adopting the Linus "one gen back" ideology to avoid problems for myself (I suck at troubleshooting). Seems like they have a limited number of components and can't fully customize your build that I'm finding. Like, I don't need the wireless thing, and I would like to put the OS on a separate SSD.
I'm guessing something like that could be worked out if you contact them, but as of right now, it's just a relatively fixed amount of parts. Still though, a $75 build fee is pretty good compared to other brands I've been seeing.
Went to Redux to see if they had 3080 in stock. If they did, I would have bought the system despite building many of my own rigs. Turns out it says December availability on 3080. Backed out. I guess these videos work though because I was ready to commit. 😅
If you want it before 2022, you might just want to get one now.

what the hell is he doing with his arms?
Bro what 🙉
I checked them out online, when u upgrade say the cpu they charge u full retail but don't credit you the cost of the original cpu. So you pay for 2 CPUs but only get one.
Everything looks great but I'd have to think that the system sent to you & any other "influencers" probably get a 2nd or 3rd look-over to make sure all is done proper whereas the regular customer may not. Nevertheless, it looked great & worth checking out especially since I've been considering a new desktop anyways.
That screw alone would be an instant return from me.
Same here, that's way to much damage for a shipping service to allow.
Came here just to say the same.
It looks like it's been hit with a hammer, how else can you cause that much damage to the case in regular shipping?
I went on a website and got a recommended pc. “RTX 1660” LMAO
Just looked at Redux's site and DANG those are some well thought out components. The only thing I'd tweak about the $865 machine is to increase storage up a tier but I'm going to solidly recommend this service next time I have to recommend a desktop.
cheapest build is a 890 dollar one with ryzen 3 3100 and GTX 1650 NON SUPER..
Im sry what?! thats atleast 200 bucks over the top if you not include the rgb case..
for that price i can get a ryzen 3600 and GTX 1660SUPER
edit: looks like its the most sold one, holy im sad, my pcmr heart cant handle that :/
There are people who are down for that. Not everyone is comfortable tinkering with electronics. Some don't have the time, some would like the included tech support. The learning curve for building a pc and troubleshooting from zero knowledge is kinda steep.

He is trying to sound at lower pitch
I've ordered a PC from Redux Gaming (based in the Netherlands, so probably part of the EU branch of Redux?) back in June 2020 and can confirm that the spces and build quality is absolutely solid. Mine was shipped with a Ryzen 5 series CPU that wouldn't boot during first boot and with some help from the Redux helpdesk we concluded the CPU might have gotten a bit lose from the socket during transit. Reseated it and the system booted fine. Still running it to this day. Cable management was as neat as in this video, so that must be a company standard.
Only downside I can think of for this company and concept (at least in EU) is that you don't have that many options to upgrade a pre-selected device (storage, mem and usually a wifi adapter, that's it). So less customisation compared to their US/CAN branch.
They still need to allow more options for parts choice
Just accidentally found out that clicking the background of youtube and typing "awesome" makes even the progress bar on the video RGB. Just thought you guys would like to know.
What power is this. It worked.
Damn thats surprising
bruh how did you guys not know
Are you guys new here youtube had this for years

Redux: NO MARKUP
Also Redux: $885 3070
with the amount of PC's Linus has looked at with and rtx 3080, I bet he has most of the stock
I ordered mine late November and still haven't received it. They just continue to make empty promises.
DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY.
62 days to be exact
Have you got it yet
Really i ordered one and got it in around 15 days ripped out the 3070 and slapped in my 1660 s and resold it on fb in a day lol
So wait, why was there a motherboard still in the box but not in the PC? Is this a situation where they send you the parts to build yourself? Which would make the build fee kinda strange? Or did they just send you the box as a display to show what motherboard it is? Or did y'all place it there yourselves for comparison's sake? I have so many questions, especially since I plan to buy one of these things soon.
It wasn’t a motherboard it’s just the box. The box has cables as well as a few other things.
@@Razsic Ohhh, okay, cool! Thanks!
Me too I have a lot of questions too. Like why does the AIO Radiator have no fans on them unlike the rest of the pcs.
@@Jumpygerm they’re probably on the other side
@@Jumpygerm fans are in push orientation from the front.

Funny I didn't hear anyone ask
Dont be mean, hes precious. And cute when he says stuff like that 🥺
They're just SO used to this 😂

I know nobody will see this most likely, but I heard the intel i7 doesn’t come with a cpu cooler, and I didn’t see one in the video, is that not a problem
My pc arrives in one week. Jesus.. I have to look out for that.
Never mind. I think the cpu is being cooled by the liquid cooler.
@@steveplay1132 You can see it in the Bill of Materials, create an account (same email you had order confirmed with), and you can see (generally) what they are going to be using. Mine doesn't say whether the card is EVGA or Asus or what, but it does say the general model, mine does come with a Liquid Cooler.
If there’s anyone still watching this video who has experience with build redux,nzxt anything like that lmk where I should look I’m planning on getting a pc soon and I just don’t want to waste my money
I bought a build redux PC about two years ago and it's still kicking exactly like the day I bought it. Granted prices have gone up since then, it's still solid price/performance.

i like how linus just instantly put edge into the trash bin
I've been wanting to get a desktop for quite awhile now, and this sold me. I'll come back and edit this with my thoughts when it comes on. Kinda surprised they have a 3070 to sell with these builds
@Nima Ebrahimi my bad. It took about a month for it to go from bought to actually shipped, but I am happy with my rig through and through

Me: looks at the dent on the corner of the case
Kind of sad that they're wasting 3080s on Intel systems
They're still solid processors. Intel 10th gen has great single core and okay multi core speeds. It's not nearly bad enough to be a bottleneck. AMD is a better value, yes, but consumer processors are still better than ever in general.
there's an option to change to ryzen processors
It's not a give away alos they don't care about you
lol plz look amd zen 3 benchmark in game from random youtuber and you will see
$75 + MSRP parts that they get for cheaper, but yeah
You'd be very much surprised about that second bit. Theirs a reason the margins for these things are super thin.
Yeah they get em SO MUCH cheaper >_>. Do you even know how companies work? I can tell you, selling a 3080 at MSRP, they likely paid almost the same, because they are in short supply.
@@TheGauges420 but in things like ram, which are in sale very often, they probably have bigger margins
@@user-gj1gj3gi1o yeah maybe, depends on what RAM they use as a standard though. If it's more popular RAM like Vengeance RGB Pro or TridentZ RGB, those are on sale much less often.
@@TheGauges420 they prob pay around 20-30% less than msrp bc they would buy in bulk
The rgb controller is for the DS pcb from earlier. It was a fan/rgb strip hub
I ordered a redux build purely because of you recommendations
Except they include the full cost of Windows. So in reality your paying about 170+ more then it would cost to build.
No? Even if you build it yourself you still have to pay for windows..

Pretty much convinced Linus has the whole stock of RTX 3000 series cards with how many videos we have seen where there is an RTX 3000 series card featured.
I'm getting anxious watching Linus holding that pc on the edge of the table I swear I had like 5 heart attacks
Wait wait, lemme guess the secret.... The factory works pre-dropped it for you?
The secret is that its oudated before shipping
7:58 why does his screen blur when he scrolls
it just looks like that on camera when there is like a high refresh rate
because he is using high refresh monitor
Because, He recorded in 30fps. At lower fps you usually get motion blur.
It is due to lower the fps is, More is difference in motion between frames. So many frames you notice get Intermixed and to make it easy for your brain, It blurs changing part to track motion.
so it doesn't look like that in perdon, in person it just looks like a smooth af display.
hes using a 360hz lmao
6:59 - this is the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen! Has Linus got treble jointed arms?!
This is a VERY nice build for only an extra $75
$75,- for the build, +a nice 20% on top of every single component in the system ofcourse
looking at it, all the parts are the same as regular retail.
Watch in 1.75x speed, Thank me later
Yeah, this video is a snoozer but I still love this channel.
@@jrswon it's mostly the pc reviews that are just kinda good, other stuff like the oculus quest videos are very good and entertaining especially with Riley.
2x
I'm loving the front grill on this thing.
Thanks for the review. I saw them as your sponsor on a newer video and went and bought a beast. This is the first system ever purchased. I hope following your link makes you some coin.
Update: Had my system a few weeks now and runs great. I guess the guy building mine didn't watch your review. The tubes for my rad are at the top. Should I take the time to swap it out?
DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY! READ THE REVIEWS! Thousands of 1 star reviews, they aren't shipping systems for MONTHS!
on the site, they only show like 6 or 7 good reviews. Linus' is one of them. noting that you can't choose mobo or know which one you get, no choice in cooler, psu or case, fans, system overall color, ram, or ports. unknown how many of this or that the system has. The site is basically for a buyer with just a little knowledge of pc's and would usually buy a pre-built anyway.
they say 1 month to ship. this means they are reselling systems assembled in China and that they are defaulting to gtx 1650 means you;re getting probably a recycled crypto mining card with cheapie rgb fans and aio, probably B450M board, WiFi is not on the board, they incl a dongle, try to get you to incl a $9 keyboard listed at 35. I thik I'll stay away. for a mid-level gaming pc I can customize much more from vendors on ebay for the same price with faster shipping, why take a chance on a co less than 1 yr they've been around?
Linus. Please do a follow up on this. I bought a PC from this company because of the review and their site is a total scam. I ordered in early November and now am hearing my order might not even SHIP until early January.
Not a scam bro, parts are in short supply right now so even the build boutique sites are having issues with supply. Be patient and it'll arrive. I ordered one too so I know your pain.
I'm still waiting 6+ weeks later. Because of scalpers and China limiting the export of computer parts, plus the Governor here in California has limiting companies to 50% of their workers on each shift. It's a mess all around.
Have any of you guys gotten it yet your order I mean
?
