Our Boss Bought A $6,000 PC?! | Aftershock Zeal Unboxing



We raided our boss’s home to unbox his very VERY expensive new PC! Ryan’s New PC Specs: Case: ZEAL Tempered Glass Showcase Edition CPU: AMD …

  1. Aftershock is the worst PC brand ever. Broke down within twice within 1 week of collection and I have to justify to them why they should be replacing the motherboard instead of trying to update driver.

  2. Hi NOC. I'm curious.. why did you not ask Julian in this segment as well? I know he kinda of part ways but there's no harm to add him to discuss more on the parts and look into cable management. Love to see him and NOC in tech segment again.

  3. Hi NOC, I received my Aftershock PC last Friday as well, I am pretty sure that your ram is Adata Spectrix, as far as I know, aftershock doesn't offer Klevv RGB ram, even if it is, it's suppose to be named klevv on the RGB lighting not XPG, XPG is under Adata 🙂

  4. Lol, with their range of components available, it could have been cheaper and way better..the components that made up half of $6,000 is the GPU and CPU, the rest of the parts they used are either their own brand (cheaper) or of lower quality (People that built these did not consider the overall performance) They just want to make it looks nice and expensive because of 3090 and 5950X which you do not need at all to play AAA games at top specs:

    1) They used their own brand PC tower case which cannot compared to their bequiet pure base 500DX (probably one of the best high airflow case in the market) Zeal looks nice but airflow are probably not as good.
    2) 3:18 wrong ram brand (it should be ADATA spectrix D50 which is the one listed in their ram list, KLEVV does not have RGB and ADATA is the cheapest of all the rams they provided)
    3) They also used their own AIO cpu cooler which is technically way cheaper) I would recommend buying their ARCTIC Liquid Freezer 280 which I believe is one of the best AIO cooler (Hard to find)
    4) 1TB Samsung NVME which is cheaper than most of the other nvmes' their provide..speed and stability wise, it is good but they do provide faster read/ write NVME at just a tiny bit more expensive.
    5) 2x 4TB toshiba HDD, if you are look at playing games, editing stuffs, I would rather you invest into NVME or SSD, 8TB might sounds a lot but when you are playing games or editing software, all the games/ software have to be installed in NVME to fully ultilize the fast read/write speed. 1 Cyberpunk is already about 64GB + Premiere pro?? other editing software?? how many more AAA games/ software you think can install in a 1TB NVME including Windows OS???
    6) 3090 GPU TDP is relatively high (Which translate to need more Power) including 5950X + AIO cooler (CPU more heat = more power needed for AIO to cool down the cpu) etc, 850W of PSU is probably enough but personally if you are going for 3090 + overclocking, I would recommend higher PSU wattage.
    7) Vertical GPU mount is only for the looks (RGB), just go research as to why vertical mount might or will affect the performance, blocking other PCIE slots, restricting airflow etc, would not recommend this.

    I'm by no means an expert but through enough research I could easily spot all these, wonder why experts from Aftershock did not. They probably built it expensive (Focus on GPU & CPU = usually people only know these 2 so its probably easier to get by other components without people questioning them?)
