Dell G5/XPS Prebuilt PC Definitive Review (Thermals, Noise Levels, Best Config)
Do I regret buying the Dell G5 5000 Gaming Desktop (or Dell XPS 8940 as it has the same internals)? In this video, we'll go into great detail over my experiences using this prebuilt PC for gaming and productivity tasks. We'll go over some of the issues I had with thermals, noise levels or the stock OEM parts that come with it. We'll also talk about my configuration or spec to help you pick the upgrades you may want as well.
