Aegis R2 AI Gaming Desktop: Intel Core Ultra 9 285, Geforce RTX 5070Ti, 32GB DDR5, 2TB M.2 NVMe SSD, Air Cooling, USB Type C, VR-Ready, Window 11 Home: C2NVR9-1452US

I gotta admit there is nothing to hate about this PC. Everything is so high quality and built well. I even took the time to take off the back panel to discover great cable management. Upon arrival the PC worked as it should and after purchasing it back in October 2025 i can confidently say it still impresses me. It's also a VR gaming monster rarely lagging. The aircooler works great. The hottest I've seen was 75°C and the PC is still quiet.

Overall great computer. Super fast and the price was $20 less than if you bought all the parts yourself, even more if you account for the included mouse and keyboard. Small nitpick is the guide shows a different style wifi antenna than it was shipped with, so that was confusing for a second.

Worked great right out of the box but after 2 weeks of use, I had to reinstall windows because it just stopped working. Customer service was no help at all. I had to get a tech friend to fix it. So, good to go until it happens again 1 month later. Now it's past the return window of 30 days and I can't even access anything to try another install of windows 11 again because it won't boot, at all.

Works well when my son is gaming and he says it never gets warm. It runs cool on all of his games. He did have some updates from MSI and Nvidia which help it run even better. Had some tweaking with the monitor he bought separately because the graphics card was so good, the monitor settings needed to turned up a bit. Playing all games at between 100 to 150 fps with no noticeable latency. At original price it's not a deal but we got somewhere around 800 dollars off during prime days back in early August. It's also fairly quiet and no problems thus far.

This PC has exceeded my expectations and runs every game I own very smoothly. I was worried about the processor being slower than my i9 14900k but changing one setting in the bios puts it 8k points over my previous CPU while still running at about 73 degrees Celsius at full load with only air cooling. The 14900k pretty much ran at 100 degrees constantly, which is what Intel throttles the temperature at, unless you use a program like ThrottleStop to reduce heat. I play Star Citizen and it's one of the most demanding games out there. This PC has no problem running it. I highly recommend this computer, especially at the sale price.

I would like to preface by saying Amazon has the incorrect photo for this item. After checking the specs myself, I also confirmed with MSI I received the correct product based on the serial and model number. I also showed them the link and they informed me that the listing is showing the liquid cooler version of this PC instead of the air cooling version being sold. I was a bit disappointed to be honest, but I still love the computer and I am very happy with it so far. This will be super easy to upgrade for anyone wondering. I didn’t even need to remove the GPU from to get my secondary SSD installed. I will say, I wish this one had the heatsink for the hard drive as the one in the photo shows, but I believe that can be purchased separately if needed. Anyway, it’s a great PC, works well for what I need which is gaming and content creation, and will be easy to upgrade over time.

Great price on sale, very powerful pc. Especially now that the Ram market has skyrocketed. My only complaint is less than 2 months in the exhaust fan has an annoying tick at certain rpm. Easy to replace that but still kind of annoyed.

Having owned many pc's since 1993, I can say this is a solid build. It's very fast, plays 4k games without a hitch, led's on fans and graphics card look nice without being tacky, MSI Center management app great for quickly monitoring and adjusting system settings including fans which are powerful and silent. I bought on sale which made it an excellent value and after 4 months, I can honestly say I'd buy it again.
