    The new OverPowered line of gaming PC's from Walmart got slammed by other reviewers. While they do not sell these in Canada, we went down to US and got one to see for ourselves.

    • @vincentwu2848
      @vincentwu2848 ปีที่แล้ว +25

      He did mention that the front fans intake air through unfiltered side vents. Side vents are a pretty common feature on a lot of nice atx cases, and having filtered vents is even more restrictive to airflow but will not necessarily cause components to overheat. Its probably not true that true that the processor is getting cooked on the system in the video because he made no mention of thermal throttling in any of the tests.

      Hey dude, it's not bad for the price, he gave some completely useless criticisms that have no impact on anything. For example, he talks about them partitioning the hard drives, that has no impact. He talks about there only being USB 3.0 ports on the back, which has no *real* impact. He criticized the onboard graphics even though your system is running off the GPU, so that HAS NO IMPACT. Just a bunch of garbage and overly critical commentary from someone trying to get views. In the end, do not worry, just put a dust cover on and *you have a good pc* .
      Edit: the hot glue crap also has no impact

      I mean, its' common sense (no offense, genuinely) that a blocked filter won't act as efficient as a clean one, though generally they still offer airflow around the center where the fan is.
      However, depending on your house/office, you could leave a PC for a couple years and not touch it and you might have no problems, nor notice a thing, because the dust filter is doing it's job. It won't be as efficient and those who pay close attention to temperatures etc will see the difference.

She usually got up to four or five in English and then started again. After a few minutes of this repeat exercise, I got frustrated and counted them out for her! She then took them back off me and started to count them out again. I just looked at my wife and laughed and walked out without the cards. A bit rude of me I know, but heh when I employ staff, I make sure that they can speak English and count......……….. the majority of our customers speak English and therefore English is a must for any employee.

      You must not be familiar with Dell business practices from the late 90s and early 2000s. All integrators have done this for decades because on paper the machine specs look good but the unlisted components are generally garbage.
      As an example, I was at a staples and asked what the speed of the RAM in a particular system was. The guy said "says right here it's 16GB DDR4"...
      That's all they put on the spec list. They don't tell you because it might be single stick, single channel 2400MHz going into your Zen 2 system instead of the appropriate 3200MHz+ dual channels kits on the QVL for the motherboard, if those bargain basement motherboards even have a QVL.

      Turbo buttons had an important purpose - though sometimes systems were built using cases with turbo buttons but which didn't utilize it.
      When 286 was king, games were written for the clock speed specifically. When 486s were released, games played on it would run far too fast. The name "turbo button" was of course a marketing gimmick, but it's one that made sense. Putting a "slow mode" button on there would sound ridiculous to most consumers.
