[Music]
oh yes that that that checks out
[Music]
okay so hands up if you knew that the
worst rated pc on best buy was going to
be one of these losers but first a word
from today's video sponsor today's video
is sponsored by deepcool and their ak620
cpu cooler now i've been using it in my
personal system for a while and let me
tell you this cooler is a real quiet
beefcake not only is the ak620 a
beautiful cooler but it's also easy to
mount and with its dual 120mm fans it
can handle pretty much any cpu you can
throw at it without making much noise so
if you feel like stuffing a new huge cpu
cooler in your case the ak620 is a great
option especially considering the
deepcool is offering five bucks off to
anybody using the link in my description
below
[Music]
now i've actually done a video on one of
these before in which i very
affectionately dubbed it the acer loser
nitro suckface edition because you know
it was just that good
but this is a different spec so let's
crack it open and have a look at best
buy's favorite pre-built
[Music]
there's some new things in here
so obviously there's the standard
e-waste mouse but
in the bag you actually get some
additional sata power and a sata cable
so you can upgrade some hard drive space
although obviously the connector is some
weird alien technology and then we also
get a nice e-waste keyboard which looks
about as fun to use as a home
colonoscopy kit and that seems to be
about it for accessories
[Music]
and then here is the most important
thing we get in the box which is some
patronizing gaming stickers
it's so light actually damn
oh it's upside down
oh it's so tiny it's like a runty little
animal and i can't quite decide if i
want to protect it or eat it now in
terms of front i o we've got a very long
skinny power button two usb 3 ports and
a microphone and headphone jack and then
it's got this tiny red chin under here
which i guess is so that they can mark
it that it has airflow in the front
although at least on the side we do have
this big ventilated panel which i think
is a good choice over going with like a
glass side panel so that we don't have
to look at its horribly deformed organs
and then around the back we've got a
tiny little fan some usb ports and a
graphics card which is always exciting
at this day and age and then finally the
power supply
uh
[Music]
now the inside of this little guy is
about as predictable as the sun rising
in the morning we have our long time
favorite abomination a single stick of
ram and it is a single 8 gig stick
that's rated for 3 200 megahertz
although it does seem like we've got a
new cooler on here by cooler master this
is actually not the standard intel
cooler that oem companies just screw to
everything although that's not
necessarily a good thing it looks like
they just replaced one abomination with
another and under this sad cooler we do
have a ryzen 5 5600g and it is a
well-known fact that ryzen loves single
channel memory so we should get some
really good performance out of this oh i
actually feel like i should point out i
was being sarcastic there using ryzen
with a single stick of ram is kind of
like trying to run a marathon right
after an amateur hip replacement but
we'll do some performance tests later in
the video and despite that ryzen 5600g
having an eye gpu in it we do still get
a graphics card our old friend the gtx
1650. storage wise we've got a 512 gig
nvme drive which is pretty roomy in
terms of the power supply it seems like
all the information other than just this
parts number is blocked off behind a
riveted on side panel although if you
google that parts number you'll see that
it is in fact a 500 watt 80 plus gold
rated chicony power supply which i've
been told is a reputable manufacturer
interestingly it seems that that weird
proprietary additional sata power
connector plugs into the motherboard
over here
let's give it a try
oh look at that and then just like that
you've got this beautiful extra cable
for additional sata power so yeah as is
always the case with the insides of
these oem systems we have a whole bunch
of proprietary landfill fodder hardware
going on in here although funnily enough
it is actually better than the previous
generation of nitro 50.
and with that let's put the side panel
back on and see what kind of windows
installation we're working with which is
usually one of acer's many achilles
heels
[Music]
it's got a nice evil red glow on the
inside which i guess checks out
considering the last time i used an acer
system it did feel very possessed wait
what's planet nine
um
well i i guess this is just like gamer
marketing or whatever okay never mind
now in my experience acer systems
normally have the windows equivalent of
a rabid dog installed on it and we know
that rabies is 100 fatal so
hopefully they've improved with windows
11. uh let's see what kind of vd we're
working with here i i don't know this
this it's vd wise i guess it's medium
here we have our ryzen 5 5600 g with
our single stick running at 3200
megahertz okay it's good it's good and
yeah i'll definitely play around with
the ram configuration later in the video
now we're starting with the game that i
always start with gta 5. this is 1080p
high-ish settings i guess this is a
perfectly possible gaming experience
granted this is like a 98 year old game
so it
it kind of should run well
on a system that cost just under a
thousand dollars although uh we can see
that there is definitely a limitation in
the system because the graphics card is
not running at 100 utilization
and uh we know that it's not the cpu
that's the limit at least directly
because the cpu is not running at 100
it's it's the ram we're getting near to
that full eight gigs of utilization and
because it's just a single stick
it always slows down the performance but
um despite that it's still very playable
oh and also temperatures are fine uh
which again i'm not surprised
considering that we don't have
very high power draw components in here
and they're not doing much so yeah if if
the temperatures were very high that
would be an absolute outrage but anyway
with that let's try let's try something
a bit newer
now i've tried to be nice to the system
here uh we're running battlefield 5 at
1080p medium settings and you know give
credit where it's due it's it's running
decently
oh oh big oh no big oh it's
what's happening
so i guess it's not running that great
[Music]
um yeah cyberpunk let's see if it works
it's currently at 1080p low settings uh
yeah let's let's give it a try it's not
going great
but in all honesty it's better than i
was expecting yo this car
sucks
is this the worst driving car in the
game oh and the big stutters are back
that's not ideal
[Music]
now i think the main audience for this
system is some parent buying their
fortnite kid a gaming pc so if in the
stock configuration it can run fortnite
acceptably at 1080p then i guess it wins
back a modicum of self-respect i mean
i've definitely seen fortnite run worse
than this
for whatever that's what to be fair i
routinely use some of the worst systems
known to man so i i don't think that's a
a very high part across to be honest
having said that we have pretty
consistently stayed above 100 frames per
second and in terms of input lag i mean
it's better than using geforce now so
yeah this is this is perfectly usable
look at that i won a fortnight on the
little loser nitro suck face hell yeah
that's that's pretty awesome and with
that shocking upset let's power down the
system throw in some new ram and see how
much of a difference that makes
[Music]
that actually looks way better that
single gangrenous green stick around
really stood out like a sore thumb
wow this bios looks like it's from 1752
like
like what what is the point of this bios
even like why do they even give you
access to this you basically can't do
anything in here
yeah okay so this is the first problem
uh we can't do anything about the ram
speeds so chances are we're gonna get
one of two ram speeds when we boot into
windows it's gonna be either
megahertz or 2666 megahertz both of
which
are just aren't great um
so let's see which one we get
a few moments later i was wrong we got
megahertz
which is even better
i i can't believe it somehow managed to
give me a lower number than i was
expecting that is
hey that's made a pretty big difference
uh you can see that now the gtx 1650 has
become the bottleneck because of that 99
utilization uh which is kind of what you
want in a system and uh the ram
utilization has very quickly jumped over
that eight gigs so yes a single eight
gig stick is is bad uh it's it's not
something you want in your pc
and uh we see that every single time we
we do this
[Music]
and then the final thing i want to talk
about is the negative reviews of this pc
on best buys website there were two of
them the only two reviews about this
system uh and the two people were
varyingly unhappy with their acer loser
nitro suck face edition pc so the first
one was saying that in its stock
configuration the pc will definitely
give you shingles although once you do
some key upgrades to it the the
likelihood of it giving you shingles
reduces which checks out i mean we did
kind of show that in this video now the
second comment however was saying that
after about a month of use the pc became
gradually slower and worse to the point
that it's basically unusable and i think
that that also makes sense considering
that it's a it's an acer system so
there's definitely some alma action
happening in there and i can imagine
that it gets worse over time now that's
the kind of thing that's really
difficult to test in a video where you
spend three days testing a system so
what i'm gonna do and i can't believe
i'm about to say this but i am going to
replace my main gaming system at home
which i use a lot and it's it's this bad
boy that showed up a couple videos ago i
really love this pc but i am going to
replace it for at least a month
with this thing
uh just to see what longer term alma
exposure does if you don't want to miss
that video filled with darwin alma
suffering subscribe to the channel that
video will come out in about a month and
a half depending on how the test goes i
guess and uh yeah with that thank you
for watching if you want to watch the
first video that i did on this original
acer loser nitro suck face edition it'll
pop up in a second and yeah until the
next video bye
[Music]
