doing some real work here, clean video, no stupid flashy intro, just straight to the facts with no BS

[shadow_bullet]

I made my own Frankenstein of a computer with the motherboard. I got a whole new system, and was going to give the original computer to my dad for his work, but i didnt remember which screws went where when i disassembled it XD thankyou for this video though

[robrod]

Nice work, straight to the freakin point. Love it. 💯🤘

[EdnovStormbrewer]

The Acer Engineering is pretty good, I will give them that. It's a shame though they made the front headers a proprietary thing by making all being part of the motherboard instead of being separate by having a daughter board, a motherboard with the header ports, and wires to plug them in like any normal custom gaming pc should have. Other than that, Excellent video!

[veryprogamer]

This is a holy grail, thank you so much

[Junkyard_Dawg]

I appreciate this complete disassembly. I wanted to see if the CPU cooler was replaceable, because I did not know if the mounts were built into the chassis or not.

[Furieas]

thank you. the video gave me the courage I needed to install new CPU fan. so quiet now.

[TopDiggerYT]

Can you tell me what other CPU's work in this motherboard please @Mxkdi ?

[mosmos]

剛剛加咗個hard disk, 好困難插底板線, 然後先睇到呢條片, 點樣拆過hard disk盒！

[milkbucket]

This was a good video! Keep up the good work and I might sub!

[paxeubanks]

What Graphics card are you using in the pc you showed in the video. Also, which one is the cheapest and best performance

[jajaharman]

hey do you know whether you could add any extra fans?

[VI-zhtb]

Where is second m.2 slot located? Acer site mentions 2

[arnoldnavalta]

Hi Great Video. I have the same motherboard and can you help me locate where is the bios chip? TIA.

[jags]

Can someone please post a CrystalDiskMark result for the SSD that is in this PC. I have a feeling that they limited PCIe bandwidth to 1x on the M.2. connector - I only get 900MB/s read and 700MB/s write, when the WD drive is rated for at least twice that speed.

Can anyone please spare a few minutes if they have this PC to test their SSD drive speed?

[paxeubanks]

Could u fit this motherboard in a gaming pc case. If you could please make a video on that

[AdrielVFX]

Can you run a test on it maybe post a vid with the gt 1030 and maybe run some benchmarks and see how the pc is doing, can you?

[reinnn.]

can i take all the components e switch to another case?😊

[AnilKumar-gqzo]

The fan is so loud I’m thinking of replacing just the fan, do you have any suggestions what I could replace it with?
