10 Best Valorant Stretched Res (2022 Updated)

Pros: – High quality parts – Two RAM sticks, rather than the single stick shown on the website – Excellent build quality – Excellent value on Google Express sale ($660) – Great performance for the cost Cons (all minor quibbles): – Individual systems may vary, but mine had several differences from the one pictured on the website: (1) Rather than the Zotac Gaming graphics card, it included an ASUS GeForce GTX 1660 Overclocked 6GB Phoenix Fan Edition, so it includes 1 HDMI 2.

0b port, 1 DVI-D port, and 1 DisplayPort 1. 4, rather than 1 HDMI and 3 DisplayPorts; (2) there is no PS/2, VGA, or DVI-D connector and only 4 USB 3. 0 ports; (3) the motherboard graphics port is non-functional, because the processor does not include integrated graphics (in case the graphics card fails).

– Keyboard: (1) it does not include separate media keys, as pictured on the website, so volume control requires holding the FN key on the bottom right with the F2-F4 buttons on the top left, (2) the backlighting can only be changed to a handful of rainbow RGB settings (uniform color options are preferable), and (3) the backspace key is the same size as the letter keys (I am used to an oversized backspace key that is easier to find).

Otherwise, the keyboard seems to be of high quality, and key presses are relatively quiet. – The cooling fans that push air out the top of computer run continuously, regardless of the internal temperature, so there is always some noise.

However, they are relatively quiet. – There is no way to turn off the RGB lighting on the tower, but at least it can be set to a single solid color.

I’ve had this PC for nearly two weeks now and I’ve never been happier. It’s beautiful, the white casing is clean looking, the RGB lights are vibrant and it has a decent amount of presets to choose from and I catch myself changing presets constantly (although the pink one is cute!).

The WiFi has a really strong connection (hits right at the 150-160mbps mark for me, I get 150mbps with my internet provider so it may vary!!). The delivery was on time, packaging was well done and PC was well protected.

I really love the “testing” card they include in the package to show you that it indeed does work and was tested prior to leaving Skytech’s care. This is the perfect starting PC for anyone that’s ready to ditch the laptops (ME!!!!) and I’m so happy my husband found this one for me! The mouse and keyboard doesn’t seem cheaply made, I have yet to try the keyboard but I am currently using the mouse.

At first the scroll wheel felt a bit too “firm” to push down, but it has seemed to have improved over the past nearly two weeks, the mouse lights change colors and it has a really nice braided-type cord to protect it.

the cursor speed has a CPI button as well which made me really happy as these two do not have a program with them.

IšverstiShow in original languageI found 3 major overlooked issues and 2 minors. 1. The front panel light and RGB fans where not on when system powered up. Nor could I get them to turn on with the on/off RGB button.

The problem was not that they didn’t have power; either RGB button, I/O panel or cables were bad or circuit was open. I did my own troubleshooting by following the fan power cables to where they all connected.

I found that the 5pin mini power connector was disconnected to the front panel. Once I connected it and powered the system back on. All was working, which means that 5pin mini is a jumper to close the circuit.

I am so glad it was not RGB button, I/O panel, broken or cut cables. As a tech I know these are a pain in the behind to find. Hot glue would probably melted the 5pin mini connector. 2. The 3700X retail processor comes with Wraith Prism RGB heatsink/fan.

Why was this off brand “Cooler One” put in? Its a 5/6 LED light base with whitish/clear fan that only changes into 3 color modes. The only choices I had from PolyChromeSync were Random, Wave and Rainbow.

I did get the Static color mode to turn on once before the PolyChromeSync software update. I would have rather seen the Wraith Prism RGB ring heatsink/fan in place then this $15 fan. Which I could only find on that other site as non-RGB type.

3. Advertisement on Newegg site was a 1TB NVMe SSD and what was given was a 1TB SATA SSD. Checking the system history in Device Manager shows there was Gen4 NVMe attach at one point. So either QA removed it or Newegg does not have the right information to put on the site from Skytech.

The downgrade of SATA read/writes/random/IOPs vs NVMe is way lower. NVMe is about 2000-3000MB/secs read/write/randoms and about 500,000 IOPs compared to 80,000 IOPs. Even a lower grade NVMe stick is faster then SATA SSD.

Price comparison is $20 less. But when you say NVMe is in system and get something else “I the consumer/customer feel cheated!” If anyone wants to check comparisons: wdc 1tb sata ssd vs wdc nvme sn550 ssd.

**Update** Contacted Newegg about what was advertise and what was actually sent. After a few emails I was refunded the cost difference. Instead of having to send the whole unit back. Thank you NewEgg for allowing this a an option.

4. A minor issue and does not reflect performance of the computer. Keyboard bump keys are left index finger F and right index finger J. Who creates one right index finger K? Skytech apparently. I kept goofing the spelling my own name and I had to go back to my Magegee keyboard.

I did not want to relearn what took me almost 20 years to perfect in typing because of one letter off. It also goofs you up on the letters above and below that row. Same goes for the gaming mouse it felt unnatural so I unconnected and reconnected my magegee mouse.

Not even Canadian keyboard layout keys have K as the right index finger! 5. Another minor issue and does not reflect performance. One of the front Ringed RGB top fan housing has slight vibration noise when computer is first turned on.

If I tap the top grill a little bit, noise will go away and continues to be silent after that. I guess this is acceptable being refurbished computer. All in all not a bad system just a lose connection, choice on processor heatsink/fan, 1 bad advertisement of SSD (**been refunded), molding of keyboard key bump on K not J and one vibrating housing of RBG fan.

This system should have been right around $1200 not what was asked. I cant really change out anything as the warranty does not cover changing of parts thus breaking the seal. One thing I can say is, I as technician would have never let this leave testing bench knowing these issues, New or Refurbished.

IšverstiShow in original languageWhile the keyboard isn’t the highest of quality, it’s still a deal and a half for this computer. It’s fast to boot up and load into games because of its SSD, The glass swinging door is extremely useful for maintenance, nd the LEDs work great.

The cord management is really clean, and the cherry on top for me was the graphics. I reccomend using this computer on a 1440 monitor. The CPU is slightly older than the GPU, but they still work well together.

If the CPU can run tarkov this well, It’s a pretty solid unit. I would definitely reccomend this to anyone who needs a good gaming rig (With plenty of room for future upgrades).

Overall I’m very happy with my purchase! Gamers on the internet shame prebuilt PCs because they often cut corners in various ways, so I felt like I was taking a risk on this. But after having it for a couple weeks, I couldn’t be happier with it.

Setup instructions could have definitely been better. There were essentially none. What did come with the PC told me to go to the site for instructions on this specific PC, and there weren’t any. This is the only reason my review isn’t 5/5.

It also came with the wrong cooler, but Skytech Support offered to send me the right one or get a partial refund, so it seems they handle mistakes like that very nicely.

I love the included components. The case is a surprising little wonder. Obviously the GPU is the reason to get this system and it works as advertised. If I were only reviewing the hardware I’d give it 4 stars.

A 240mm AIO would give it 5 stars. However, I have to dock an extra star for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, the rear 120mm Fan was installed the wrong way. Guys, you don’t want your exhaust fan to be blowing back inside the case.

This is basic stuff. My other issue is that not all accessories that normally come with components are present. I would expect such practices with OEM products. But a company that seems focused on building great systems should, in my opinion, give you all of the cables that come with the PSU.

There are some other odd choices, such as installing Patriot Viper RGB software, but the included RAM is non-RGB XPG. Some of the cable management decisions were questionable at best, but it’s workable for the most part.

All in all, we have a motherboard that tends to run warm, a NVMe Gen 4 SSD with no heat spreader, an RTX 3080, a Ryzen 7 3700X cooled by a 120mm AIO – a combination that will run WARM! – and the exhaust fan was put on backwards.

If this weren’t such a great product overall, this would be a horrible review. However, the product is great; the service needs a little work. Please take care of your customers.

To be forward, if you are looking at this tower because you want a 3080 paired with a rysen 7 3700x, than seriously look no further. The case is amazing for cooling, the front is complete mesh with 2 fans pulling in air(complete with dust filters at each place air is being pulled in).

The AIO cooler keeps the cpu cool even when playing at 1440p, max settings and rtx with mult applications open and the overclock ability and ease of use of the cpu makes it great and a reason why i prefer it over its intel competitor.

GPU stays very cool being a three fan design, and having plenty of airflow through the tower and that 3080 is beyond capable of whatever you throw at it. 16gb at 3600 is awesome aswell. It is a really solid build and skytech did a high quality build of it, great cable management.

The NVMe is beyond fast, booting up takes under 5 seconds and prepare to load into games before anyone else. Looks great, runs great. When im ready to upgrade in the future i will be back here. If you read all that, just get it already, you know its what you want!.

I can honestly say this is the first review I’ve written so excuse the length. I ordered the Blaze 3. 0, but when I received my order on 10 February what actually came was the Shadow 3. 0. Almost a $900 difference in model price.

Not sure how the mix-up happened, but something to be mindful of when you receive yours. However, I am giving the company itself 4 stars for the customer service. As soon as I figured out it was the incorrect PC I emailed support.

Elizabeth D. was my POC and let me tell you she was amazing. Extremely professional, very helpful, outstanding communication and response time. Just overall a great experience with her and Skytech customer service.

The Shadow 3. 0 has been shipped back and currently waiting to receive the correct Blaze 3. 0.

The item came well boxed with no damage. The delivery date was a surprise because even when delivered the order status was “Not shipped”. Delivery was in the estimated time though. The machine is mostly assembled.

I only had to install the seat back, which was a simple process. I found several bolts loose and tightened them. The machine is easy to operate but you must apply the supplied grease liberally to the screw assembly during set up and I recommend applying a clean heavy grease to the bevel gears.

Otherwise there is a lot of resistance when applying large pressure against the legs and it will wear out the shuttle shortening the machines life. The machine will work on carpet but a smooth hard surface is optimal.

The machine is built heavily enough that it should last a lifetime with basic care and maintenance. To measure my progress I keep a tape measure resting on the wheel and measure between the leg pads.

Without it I have a difficult time seeing my progress and setting goals. I am very happy with my purchase. I could not see myself spending over $350 for a machine for home use and very glad to own this one.

The stretch machine is a high quality item and easy to use. It is very comfortable, well-padded and the two position back is a great option. Just a couple minor suggestions: 1. Swiveling wheels instead of the fixed position ones to make moving the machine around easier 2.

The adjusting/turning wheel needs to be more stable – comes off easily Not having any experience with this type of machine an operators or instructional manual would be helpful – expectations for time required to see/achieve results, duration of each position – how long should you stay at a certain position before moving up Something like this is what I’ve been wanting/needing for some time to help me get the flexibility and range of motion that I haven’t been able to obtain on my own.

I’m confident that this machine will get me there.

This is a good machine for the money, is comfortable, and gets the job done. I feel like the worm gear may be a weak point, but it is working just fine. When trying to crank your legs back where they don’t want to go, you can tell there’s a mechanical strain on the gear.

However, the machine works great and generally is the lowest priced of all the machine based stretchers out there right now. I’d buy this one again for the money.

White denim washed and waiting for tie dye. When I first touched the fabric I knew it was just what I needed. The white bull denim washed perfectly and now awaits colors that will be part of a denim quilt.

I’ve ordered two pairs I’m ordering my third right now. Nobody will be able to top these jeans. True to size. Low profile if for carry. Love the belt looks holds tactical belt secure and can draw constantly for practice solid stitching and design.

I bought 2 pairs of size 4 and I often get a size 6 to have a little extra room for certain IWB firearms if I need it. The mesh pockets are smart for venting, no shortage of pockets and phone / AR mag pockets! Love the feed in the pocket for coms also.

Most comfortable jeans that still look really good for everyday wear. You guys nailed this thank you !.

I have been looking for tactical pants that doesn’t look like I am headed out on a hunt. I wanted another color other than OD green, or khaki. I have finally found them. These jeans are comfortable and stylish.

They are part of my every day wear as well as my every day carry. 9 pockets! Extra belt loops! Usable pockets! I need another pair.
