XOTIC PC G7 Avenger Ryzen Review 20

XOTIC PC G7 Avenger Ryzen Review

General Performance »

A look Inside


Opening up the system shows that XOTIC PC clearly takes pride in making sure it's neat and tidy inside and out. The all-in-one liquid cooler for the CPU is mounted to the front of the chassis and brings air into the system. Meanwhile, two fans on top and another at the back act as exhaust fans for a matched three in and three out. The sleeved cable extensions are a very nice touch.


The wiring behind the motherboard tray is immaculate, with no bulging of the side panel. The excess cables are hidden in the power supply compartment, out of sight and out of mind. Where the cables are hidden, users will find two 3.5 inch drive bays, while the back of the motherboard tray supports three 2.5 inch drives. The power supply—crammed into the bottom of the chassis—is, as with most DIY systems, from EVGA. It is their 600B model. The front fans are RGB LED-equipped and are used to suck in fresh air that is pushed through the 360 mm radiator.


As for individual components, this system features an HGST 2.5 inch 1 TB 7200 RPM HDD for storage duties, while a Toshiba THNSN5128GPU7 128 GB M.2 NVMe SSD keeps the OS and system feeling quick and responsive. Finally, memory is from G.Skill's Ripjaws V lineup. The memory is rated at DDR4-2666 CL19-19-19-43 and 1.20 volts.


The graphics card is an MSI GTX 1060 6 GB Armor series. Nice enough to look at, it doesn't have a backplate, which is a shame. A nice backplate would make the system a bit more attractive considering this build features a case with a tempered glass side panel. However, it's not like the lack of a backplate on the graphics card instantly makes the system awful either. It's a nice feature for those concerned with aesthetics, but has no realistic impact on performance.
