Video Description
#asusprime #pcbuild #asuspcdiy - Until now, we've had a complete ROG Strix ecosystem, TUF Gaming and ProArt... It's time for ASUS to send it with the more affordable PRIME hardware. Enter the complete PRIME AP201! Timecodes, though I don't recommend skipping for visual narrative reasons! 00:00 - An Introduction 00:54 - PRIME RTX 4070 Super Overview 01:25 - PRIME LC 360 ARGB Overview 02:02 - PRIME 850W PSU Overview 02:21 - Settle it With Spin The Bottle? 02:52 - Build Hardware 03:20 - Motherboard Assembly 04:44 - PRIME AP201 Assembly 07:57 - Airflow Visualization 08:16 - Cinematic & Desk Setup 09:56 - Coffee Thanks & Outtakes In what feels like has been quite a long time coming, ASUS have been working on making their PRIME series a complete ecosystem for those on a tighter budget without compromising on that hardware quality and aesthetic which we've all grown to love. The inclusion of the PRIME RTX 4070 Super, LC 360 ARGB Liquid AIO and 850W PSU perfectly marries together for that futuristic design language with some of their own unique quirks and features. The PRIME RTX 4070 Super will be one of the lowest price triple fan GPU's falling at Nvidia MSRP which is amazing to see considering the performance and cooling potential this card brings to the table.
