Examined! ASUS ROG Strix GA35 Assessment – Ryzen 9 3950X + RTX 2080 Ti – Is It Value Shopping for & For Whom?

robertino



The ASUS ROG Strix GA35 is maybe the most-beastly PC Swapnil has ever examined! It is powered by a liquid cooled AMD Ryzen 9 …

[Music]
hey guys welcome to digit.in and right now
i am reviewing the asus rog
g835 that is the gaming desktop from the
firm uh it is powered by an amd
processor it is truly fairly wonderful
and really thrilling that i’ve had the final
few days with this machine so there is a
lot to go over so earlier than we get into all
of that ensure to hit the like and
subscribe button on our channel and
there’s additionally the bell icon that you simply
ought to in all probability hit on in order that you do not
miss out any future movies from us
on that notice let’s start
[Music]
so that is the asus rog g35
gaming desktop it is powered by an amd
processor that is the amd ryzen 9 3950x
16 cores 32 threads beast of a processor
accompanying that’s 16 gigs of ram
there is a 512 gb nvme drive it is a pci 3
nvme drive not pci 4. extra on that in a
bit uh there is a nvidia rtx 2080 ti for
graphics and naturally there’s additionally an
further two terabyte storage exhausting
drive
um for you so that you could retailer all of
your video games and never so this can be a high-end
gaming desktop from asus and over the
course of reviewing it truly realized
that whereas sure it’s completely a beast
with regards to gaming
it is truly higher fitted to inventive
professionals and since it might deal with
some very very very heavy edit hundreds
with
absolute ease so we will get into
that in a bit extra on the specs half so
the cpu is definitely cooled by a liquid
cooler it is a 240 millimeter cooler
which asus says has been designed in
conjunction with cooler grasp
apart from that there’s an 80
millimeter fan on the again to exhaust
the warmth and there is solely a singular fan
within the entrance which is designed to
mainly pull in chilly air to chill this
vertically mounted gpu so by way of um
cooling you realize it is it is a passively
cooled system and initially it made me
very skeptical of this configuration however
i am pleasantly stunned uh the system
doesn’t overheat and we’ll get into the
specifics of that within the efficiency
part
total this uh along with what’s on
the within the specification sensible
there’s additionally two slots within the entrance uh
for decent swappable ssds like when you’ve got
a two and a half inch ssd simply form of
mendacity round you may put it in right here and
it turns into like a detachable storage and
surprisingly it is tremendous handy now
it’s possible you’ll be pondering who has a two and a
half inch ssd simply mendacity round proper uh
effectively if you happen to’re gonna be shopping for this
machine and given how a lot it prices you
can in all probability afford one so mainly
that is protecting all the specs of the
asus rog g35 gaming desktop now let’s
take a look at the way it performs
that is truly one of the
thrilling components about having examined this
g35 it is obtained a 16 core processor and for
me personally i’ve by no means actually had the
probability to work with one thing this
beastly so it was very thrilling of
course first we began off with our
benchmark hundreds and you’ll see all of
the numbers and actually the benchmark
numbers are fairly excessive
and it is to be anticipated there’s nothing
out of the strange right here gaming nevertheless
is the place we discovered some very fascinating
outcomes now
each recreation that we examined we do do
maternal name of responsibility fashionable warfare
metro exodus overwatch all the
widespread modern-day titles proper
all the things runs rather well actually quick
you we had some very spectacular body
charges which you’ll be able to see within the chart on
your display proper now however i wish to take
a minute to speak concerning the load on the
cpu the gpu and naturally the
corresponding thermals a lot of the video games
are put placing the 2080 ti on this
machine to 100% of its
capabilities the pushing that gpu and
the utilization sits at 100 as reported by
{hardware} monitor
the cpu alternatively has cores that
are virtually idling
which implies that it virtually looks like
the 2080 ti is the limiting issue
by way of the body charges we’re
getting from this machine now do
maternal we’re seeing north of about 200
fps on the
extremely graphic settings and as soon as once more is
the gpu that is maxed out however the cpu
nonetheless has quite a lot of headroom the cores
are nonetheless accessible as a way to you realize
push the body charges greater if wanted
additionally quite a lot of video games will not be designed to
benefit from this many cores however
given the truth that now we have them and
given the truth that not all the cores
are even working on the 100% it is
someplace within the comfy 50 60 vary
however the gpu is maxed out so this leads
us to consider that
within the close to future if nvidia or amd
whoever was to launch a gpu that was
much more highly effective than the 2080 ti
you possibly can get higher body charges with
this processor put in so you may simply
swap out the gpu and you will get higher
efficiency
on that notice shifting ahead
the place this mix truly actually
actually excels and that is the place you see
all the elements actually getting
pushed to the restrict
is in inventive workloads now when it
involves adobe premiere adobe lightroom
and possibly even photoshop to some extent
these three functions after results
as effectively by the best way
these inventive workloads are capable of
make the most of all the cores on the amd
ryzen 9 3950x
and all the reminiscence accessible on the
2080 ti to the max so this machine even
although a gaming machine is ideally
fitted to creators as a result of oh my god
the
area at which it is capable of do issues is
simply completely phenomenal
[Music]
now i wish to speak concerning the occasions this
machine takes to render out sure
forms of video tasks images and so forth
now in premiere now we have a take a look at venture
with a period of 20 minutes we render
this 20 minute file in 4k and utilizing the
h265 codec 1080p in once more 265 and we
repeat the method for 264 codecs as
effectively then we repeat this complete factor for
a 5 minute clip in order that now we have a
higher concept of brief versus longer clips
so for the 265 codec a 5 minute file
the 4k export took about three minutes
six seconds the 1080p export once more took
the identical period of time and once we
converted to 264 it took three
minutes and 19 seconds whereas the 1080p
model took simply 2 minutes and 58
seconds
shifting over to the longer 20 minute lower
4k x264 and it took 12 minutes 28
seconds and uh the 1080p model took 13
minutes and 34 seconds and is similar
for the 264 numbers as effectively so in about
13 minutes this machine is ready to push
out a 20 minute export in both 4k or
1080p
for picture editors on the market if you happen to’re
working with adobe lightroom uh we took
500 uncooked recordsdata from a nikon d800 large
uncooked recordsdata after which we do an export in
batches of 100 250 and 500 uncooked recordsdata at
the identical time
the 100 minute uncooked file export took solely
2 minute 14 seconds the 250 picture uncooked
recordsdata took 5 minutes 48 seconds and a
complete of 500 uncooked recordsdata had been exported in
simply 11 minutes and 22 seconds now these
are very very spectacular numbers we have
not seen export occasions this quick
ever on you realize machines so it is actually
actually spectacular the opposite factor that
was actually notable was particularly with
lightroom and premiere exports
they’re truly using the cpu to
its max in lightroom once we had been
exporting the five hundred recordsdata all cores had been
at 100
and that is truly
what you are paying for proper if you happen to’re
paying for a 16 core chip you need all
of that for use in your heavy
workloads and that is form of what was
occurring and that is fairly wonderful identical
factor with premiere as effectively premiere
levels for exporting once you’ve obtained
{hardware} or render enabled it should use
each the gpu and the cpu so that you simply
know the encoders are shared after which
you see the cpu consumer soar as much as 100 and
your gpu utilization sits round 40 to 50
% and that is usually how adobe
balances the workload
in all of this in gaming in modifying in
premiere modifying and lightroom modifying
in photoshop one factor that i needed to
actually maintain my eye on had been the
temperatures as a result of there’s not loads
of cooling in right here there isn’t any there isn’t any
4 followers on the entrance two within the again
there’s nothing like there’s simply it is a
very naked minimal
setup with regards to followers pulling in
air and pushing out air so i actually
needed to see how this was going to
influence the temperatures
the cpu surprisingly doesn’t cross the
86 diploma mark and so and this we
confirmed utilizing {hardware} monitor which
is fairly spectacular as a result of if
over a interval of 11 minutes in case your cpu
is totally maxed out whereas it is doing
a heavy workload and it doesn’t attain a
sure temperature it simply speaks to
the truth that the cooler that is been
constructed is doing a job effectively so total
you are not going to have to fret about
thermals
even the gpu stays at about 70 to 73
levels throughout gaming and premiere
exports
the place it does trigger some drawback is
by way of the warmth being exhausted now
i used to be testing this desktop
over the course of two days i had no air
conditioning in my room and this factor
actually actually places out quite a lot of warmth we
famous at about 42 levels the air coming
out of the computer is about 42 levels in
temperature and that is quite a bit so
you will want an air conditioner
in your room as a way to guarantee that
you realize the ambient temperatures keep
at a cool comparatively cooler temperature
in order that over the time frame let’s
say if you happen to’re gaming for a whole day
you do not see temps in your room and in
the computer rising this does rely loads on
ambient temperatures the cooling on this
factor as a result of there may be actually nothing
else occurring on the within so
there may be that
so what’s actually fascinating is we
talked concerning the temperatures within the
room which had no air con however
if you happen to do use this within the room which has
an ac with the ambient temperature set
to love 23 levels or so we discover a
large distinction in temperatures for
instance whereas rendering in premiere and
lightroom the cpu temps are round 62
levels celsius and the gpu temps are not any
greater than 49 levels that is wonderful
that is actually virtually like a 20 to 30
diploma distinction within the cpu and gpu so
total like this passive cooling factor
works however it does depend on the fats that
it’s good to have
very very cool ambient temperatures so
after all that could be a huge caveat
[Music]
so the built-in design of this desktop
is definitely fairly novel as a result of there’s
quite a lot of issues occurring that form of
work with the elements on the within
for starters this cpu case this cupboard
is a twin chamber design and
by doing that it has allowed asus to 1
transfer the facility provide into the again
chamber uh additionally transfer the exhausting drive into
the again chamber so you will have some warmth
era that is been separated off
out of your primary chamber so your cpu
cooler is definitely mounted proper above
in the direction of the middle so it is not truly
pushing out any warmth inwards it is
truly exhausting warmth out
um the gpu which is vertically mounted
truly has a metallic plate on high so it
separates the cpu a part of the
motherboard from the gpu half so once more
efficient cooling by separating the warmth
the opposite factor about this chassis is
that it has quite a lot of cuts and holes and
it is perforated tons and plenty of
openings so the case truly affords
most airflow by you realize form of not
obstructing any air
there’s a draw back to that although
the design is such that over a interval of
for instance one month possibly even two
months if you happen to reside in a spot the place
there may be mud like i do
you are gonna have a tough time cleansing
this machine the truth is proper now after
testing this machine for a sum complete of
seven days
i can already see mud on the within and
it will be a nightmare to wash
the mud out of all of this
zigzag edges and these sharp lower traces
you are going to must take a brush and
simply form of
go at it so cleansing this machine is
going to be positively an issue the
different actually cool built-in design
function are these flaps that they’ve
supplied to maintain your scorching swappable ssd
base protected the facility button that is
built-in onto the entrance facet is
truly fairly neat as effectively after which
there’s after all rgb strips throughout
the place so total the built-in design
of this machine is very nice
one factor i do wish to notice is that this high
deal with which you realize it’s possible you’ll assume is
extra of a gimmick however it’s truly not
this cupboard in complete weighs about 14
and a half kilograms and it is easy i used to be
capable of carry it up utilizing the deal with on
a number of events carry it across the
home you realize we introduced it in for
shoot carried it with the deal with put it
up right here does not really feel prefer it’s one thing
that is going to interrupt um how asus has
strengthened it and nonetheless must be seen
however total it feels fairly sturdy
the asus rog strix ga35 additionally packs a
complete bunch of ports
let’s go over the ports on the again
first
you will have 4 usb 3.2 gen1 ports which
are of kind a you will have three usb 3.2 gen
2 kind air ports you will have one usb 3.2
gen 2 kind c port
additionally on the again you may discover one hdmi
2.0 port alongside a show port
one rj45 ethernet jack and naturally
5 audio jacks alongside one spdif
port for digital audio
that is not all although
there’s additionally io on the entrance
on the entrance you will have two usb 3.2 gen
one kind a ports
two usb 3.2 gen one kind c ports one
microphone in and one headphone out
clearly there isn’t any thunderbolt since
this isn’t an intel machine however given
what number of ports this factor is packing i am
fairly positive you are gonna discover your all
of your wants met with ease
[Music]
so
there’s a case to be made for getting a
pre-built desktop despite the fact that it could
price you just a little greater than a
system that you’d assemble your self
a few issues that come into thoughts
is like all of those distinctive designs you
can get with a pre-built desktop there
is after all the peace of thoughts that every one
the elements you have obtained shall be
you realize suitable with one another and
then there’s after all the guarantee
if something goes dangerous with this desktop
you may catch asus and have them exchange
it or repair it no matter however when you’ve got a
customized constructed machine you may have to search out
out who to go to the place the service
middle is and so forth all that it’s a headache
as any person who’s been coping with computer
pre-built pcs and customized constructed pcs for a
very long time the headache of customized constructed
pcs is all the time going to be there you realize
once you’re assembling it after all
that is the most important concern
irrespective of what number of occasions you construct a computer
there’s a few of us will all the time be
nervous about doing one thing unsuitable so
pre-built methods have their benefits
little doubt however
having stated all of this with the g35
there are some notable caveats and this
machine just isn’t low cost
so listed below are some issues that i really feel that
work in opposition to the g35
for one there are not any mud filters
neither within the entrance neither on high
even when there are not any consumption followers within the
entrance or high the actual fact is with out mud
filters it nonetheless does stepping into the
computer
over the course of testing this for
seven days i can already see mud on the
inside mud filters would have been good
second factor is
if you happen to reside in a component which is hotter
than the standard locations for instance if you happen to
reside in a desert or in you realize close to the
equator no matter
the issue is
it’s possible you’ll discover your temperatures greater
than what we noticed possibly you do not
have an ac in your room to maintain the
ambient temperatures cool and you are feeling
okay you realize what i want i may add
extra followers to it so that it’s going to keep
cooler however sadly you may’t there
is not any option to mount any extra followers to the
entrance there are not any grills on the within
and identical factor with the again fan it is an
80 millimeter fan which you can’t
improve to a 120 or 140 as a result of there
are not any mounting holes and if you happen to go the
diy route the place you assume you realize what
possibly i will simply drill them then guarantee
is gone so by way of bettering airflow
there may be nothing extra you may truly
do besides simply possibly guarantee that the
vents are in an open place and you’ve got
an ac in your room and i feel that’s
asking for lots
trusting this uh setup is effectively for us
it is okay as a result of now we have air
conditioned rooms we are able to monitor the
temperatures we are able to form of tweak these
issues round however total not having the
flexibility of with the ability to add extra
followers or improve the present followers to
larger followers is form of problematic the
third factor that caught me off guard was
realizing that on the within the 16 gigs
of ram is definitely a single stick it is
not even an eight into two sticks so
single channel on a efficiency gaming
desktop actually asus actually not even like
that is simply computer constructing 101
twin channel ram all the time however you get one
single stick after which you realize even when
you are making an attempt to provide us the logic that
possibly you realize individuals will wish to
improve later that is simply no that
does not work it ought to all the time be twin
channel in order that’s one factor however maybe
essentially the most stunning issue right here is that
the nvme drive is a pci3 nvme drive not
pci4 and all people is aware of among the best
issues concerning the new amd platform is
pci-4 so the corporate says that they
due to this complete covet state of affairs
there’s been points with procuring uh
items of sufficient pci for nvme drives and
that is why they needed to ship it with pci3
however
you realize it is simply
it is unhappy it is it is actually is gloomy that
you do not get pci for with the machine
that is this beastly
and personally i really feel {that a} 512 nvme is
on the decrease facet when you think about the
truth which you could get laptops with uh
with a one terabyte nvme drive for much less
than this like you may proper now if you happen to
simply choose up there’s sufficient of them out
out there so they might have completed
with the one terabyte nvme total
apart from all of those drawbacks i imply
there may be there are fairly a number of of them
so that you can think about and on the finish of
the day the selection to both purchase this or
not will rely upon you
right here is my suggestion although for
players the 3950x is like absolute
overkill
proper now
however additionally it is a system that’s
fully future proof as a result of if we have
discovered something from amd it is the actual fact
that they prefer to make their merchandise
as lengthy lasting as doable like take a look at
the am4 socket you realize they’re
supporting it even now 4 years and
three years into the long run
so you realize that the 3950x will take
care of any of your wants effectively into the
subsequent three or 4 years with none
drawback
the gpu after all you may improve
every time a brand new one comes out and if
for instance the nvidia
rtx 30 sequence is
extra highly effective than the 2080 ti they’ve
a card you may put that in there get
higher body charges
however what actually this machine excels at
is for creators like
it simply cuts by way of premiere like that
like adobe lightroom just isn’t a problem at
all and that is form of you realize we
wrestle with each minute of render
time crash renders or you realize having to
scrub footage and wait a second for the
impact to point out up
making use of an impact and ready for it to
render first none of that is a matter on
this machine and that is actually the type
of viewers who would profit from
one thing like this and naturally it
seems actually cool too so you realize there
is that
[Music]
so once we reviewed the asus rog strix
ga35 desktop the video was truly shot
at some extent the place we weren’t conscious of
the costs we lastly know the way a lot this
desktop prices and it is a price ticket of three
lakh 49 990
that is some huge cash however maintain on sure
you possibly can possibly construct this configuration
for lots much less however take a look at it this manner
the cpu alone prices about 70 000 bucks
the gpu is over lack of rupees and
you have obtained this actually amazingly effectively
designed chassis that is not nearly
airflow but additionally about you realize the uh
scorching swappable ssds the twin chamber
design the concept that a chassis may
cool the internals passively so all of
that taken into consideration and the
engineering and the standard of the
total construct is fairly strong
so that you do see why the corporate is
charging some huge cash plus let’s not
overlook about the truth that there’s
import duties and taxes to be factored
in as effectively
so sure 3 lakh 49 990
a reasonably steep price ticket however if you happen to had been
to construct this by yourself you would not
be manner off the mark both you’d
in all probability find yourself spending shut to 2
and a half quarter to a few lakh rupees
any which methods so total by way of
its pricing sure you might be paying an rog
premium
little doubt about it however on the finish of the
day what you additionally do get is an rog
machine so total that is a overview of
the asus x g35 gaming desktop it is a
fairly wonderful machine it has positively
obtained its notable drawbacks and
that is why we will go away the
resolution to purchase it or lower than you
possibly you possibly can wait possibly the pci 4
comes out in a number of months you by no means know
however total it is a formidable machine
it really works very effectively its efficiency is
completely within the high tier and total
we’re fairly impressed with it thanks
guys for watching this video and make
positive to subscribe to our channel and hit
the bell icon in order that you do not miss any
future updates from us thanks and
i will see you within the subsequent one

  1. Thank you, you were the only one that said anything about SSD slot in the front and I just bught this pc used with 3080 and I had an 100bg ssd laying around and now is back into use 😀

    Reply
  2. Awesome review, ended up getting one myself! Do you have any information on how the hot-swappable SSD bays actually work? I placed a 2 TB Samsung SSD inside the slot, but I can't seem to find it to access it. Any insight?

    Reply
  3. This is great info, I'm looking at the next gen model 3090/5900x. Was worried about the airflow on the case, this review answered pretty much ALL of my questions so thank you!

  4. The real question is: where is the reset button, you know, that little lifesaver from viruses or adwares little button that makes soft resets and saves your skin mounted next or aside the main acc button.
    Other than that crucial missing part is a no no config, matherboards should be as in deep mounted in the case rigs for space pourposes / cablaging and re arrangin wires inside / replacing items / dissipating heat by using the same case volume ( cases nowadays shoulb be used not only for storaging matherboards ) / less plastic and more valuable aluminum or copper inside / more neat and semplistic shape it means more space for other components = less stress when it comes to placing additional filters between the fans and less heat / and dulcis in fundo NO ONE sane uses HDD only SSD otherwise you will feel slugghiness by adding one wrong component ( system and gaming alltoghether ).
    Thank you very much for this detailed review, at least i know that simple things make the best pc rigs, like base quality case for starters, i dont need badass plastic cases i do need a healty machine that lives longer and performs good in the long run.

  5. There is no benefit having dual channel RAM. Having just one is perfectly fine. There has been multiple tests on this. Only ONE place is it beneficial, and that is video/fx rendering, and even that it gives a very small advantage.

    Reply
  6. Really good review! I have the same system only with a Ryzen 9 5900x and rtx 3070. Could you please do another video about the vertical gpu mount? My gpu is horizontally mounted and I would really like to mount it vertically like your system. Can't seem to find a mount that is suited for this case.

    Thank you!!

  7. Do i need to buy the cooling liquid for the liquid cooler? Or will it already be in the liquid cooling system? And can i upgrade the Nvidia 2080 into the latest one?Also about the thermal temperatures,it only gets that heated if you're putting a lot of load on the gpu/cpu right? even if it is so, doesn't the liquid cooling help?

    Reply
  8. No mention of motherboard???? really???certainly not X 570 not being a PCI 3.1. Begs the Question , are we pushing a older mother board….that's is just Wrong using a 3950X.
