The well-known tech YouTube channel Gamers Nexus bought a gaming PC for 5,000 euros. However, he is not really happy with the device, as it has numerous flaws. External damage from transport is just the beginning.
If you want to have a new gaming PC, you can either build a computer yourself or buy a pre-built PC from a manufacturer. Many gamers also opt for such pre-built PCs:
- The hardware is already configured and the BIOS is set up
- Windows is often pre-installed as well.
- The price is slightly higher than self-built devices, but the risks on paper are initially lower, because everything works.
The well-known tech channel Gamers Nexus has now purchased a pre-built PC for 5,000 USD. However, the team is only facing a lot of trouble with it.
“One of the most disappointing builds we have tested so far”
What kind of PC is this? The Skytech Mark 9 comes from the PC builder “Skytech”. Inside there is an i9-12900K and an RTX 3090 Ti. Since the release of the RTX 4090, this is no longer the fastest build of a gaming PC, but it is still extremely fast.
What problems are there? However, the team around Steve has not had much joy with the system. Upon the first glance, the YouTuber notices damages on the outside of the case, and even inside, the CPU cooler is bent.
However, these cosmetic damages are not the only issues, as the gaming system also has many errors:
- The cables are glued and can hardly be removed.
- Loose screws are flying around inside the case
- Temperatures are way too high, which is mainly due to faulty fan setup (100 degrees on the CPU).
- Incorrectly configured BIOS, XMP is turned off or everything is on default.
- There is a lot of bloatware pre-installed.
- A mouse and keyboard are included, but they are only functional and are nothing special.
How does the YouTuber react? He is quite disappointed and especially surprised. Because the last two complete systems that the team from Skytech tested were quite good and even received a recommendation from Gamers Nexus. That’s why Steve Burke is so surprised that this system is so bad this time.

Who is Gamers Nexus anyway? Gamers Nexus is one of the most well-known tech channels on YouTube with around 1.8 million subscribers. The team around Steve Burke tests computer hardware, gimmicks, and other relevant tech products. The channel once tested a huge computer fan that was officially supposed to be just a joke:
Other users also have little luck with their new gaming PC. A gamer bought a new system and wanted to play comfortably on it. However, nothing came of his gaming session because the computer caused numerous issues:
