there's been so much buzz around how finally after four long years AMD is able to challenge Intel once again but the launch of Rison was less baby bottom smooth and more team that meant well but still managed to bend the Civic into a hedge PC enthusiasts were willing to trust that AMD would iron out the wrinkles in short order but Rison wasn't quite ready for the average consumer you know folks who think when a computer fails to post it means that it got lost in the mail but good news everyone the unruly teen has grown up a donned a suit and gotten a job Rison is now available in Dells gee skills km 780 our mechanical keyboard features a brushed aluminum top plate on the fly Mac for recording and various Cherry MX key switch configurations learn more at the link below now you can say what you want about your past experiences with Dell but the fact is they validate their computers in a different way than individual component manufacturers for instance when a soos makes a motherboard that is compatible with Rison you can trust that the motherboard will be good but they only validate the motherboard not every possible graphics card SSD RAM stick etc that you could possibly stick in it what Dell sells is the experience as a whole now you might be sitting there thinking well that's nice but I'm just gonna build my own system anyway but consider this Dell the third largest om PC producer in the world sold more than ten times as many systems as AMD sold graphics cards last year and when you consider that you'll understand why complete system sales is the way forward for AMD to win back some real market share from Team Blue but only if that complete experience is any good so is it actually it's not bad I'm not a hundred percent sold on the looks the blue venting on the side is a slightly weird contrast with the boring business aesthetic of the rest of the case but I wouldn't call it offensive especially because functionally it's pretty darn good front i/o is ample with type a USB 2 and USB 3 including a quick charge port for your phone or tablet and a fifth USB of the type C variety even the SD card reader is high-speed which is a nice touch and at the back you'll find everything you need for a bunch of peripherals or VR gear and analog surround speaker setup and even your model M keyboard and ball mouse if you're into that sort of thing also the plastic removing experience was one of the best we've had in a long time moving inside then our build out of the inspiron gaming fifty 675 includes a hard drive with no SSD so the OS is about as responsive and sprightly as my nan but the good news there is that the motherboard is surprisingly fully featured so upgrading down the line is a legitimate option it's a shorter m80 export and only two memory slots is a bit of a downer but it's got dual PCI Express 16x slots with adequate spacing and support for crossfire with a third card in between it rocks to m dot two slots and a whole whack of SATA ports for all the storage you could reasonably expect to fit in a mid Tower especially if you're willing to get a little creative about Drive mounting and thanks to the am 4 socket our Rison v 1400 could be replaced with a 1700 X or more giving us up to twice the core count or even potentially better CPUs in the future depending on AMD and Dell support of this socket moving forward so the functionality is good but if we're being honest I think Dell could do better when it comes to cable management the overall layout is much better than older Dell systems that I've had the misfortune of upgrading including some nice touches like room for a much larger power supply standard ATX to boot if the included 4 60 watt one isn't enough along with adequate space for full length graphics cards and even a holder for the back of the graphics card to prevent that smelly guy 2 seats down at a LAN party from stealing it or actually on second thought it probably has more to do with those guys in the brown shorts gaming wise it's about perfectly Specht out for 1080p 60 FPS gaming performing admirably and everything that we threw at it it's certainly vr capable and managed a solid 60 frames per second in modern triple-a titles on high slightly older triple-a games can even get the ultra treatment and if you're only playing eSports titles you could even consider an investment into a high refresh rate display the only issue we had was occasional stuttering when 3d assets loaded in late thanks to the molasses speed hard drive broom broom so again get an SSD under full load the CPU stayed suspiciously cool at less than 40 degrees so I do wonder if Dell is reading the temperature offset correctly about 60 would make more sense with this cooling solution and as for the GPU it ran a little hotter than we'd like over 80 degrees but this is more the fault of AMD's underwhelming reference cooler design since it's sitting right beside an open air vent the single exhaust fan is unexceptional but adequately handled our single graphics card configuration and features anti-vibration mounts and overall the Inspiron gaming wasn't distracting on the desk and was almost inaudible when we placed it on the floor though with that said cleaning will be important for keeping thermals and acoustics consistent over time because with no dust filters and a lot of openings it's not gonna take long to grow fur in a carpeted room but besides gaming what can it be used for with only 8 gigs of ram ah not that much but with another stick it would be suitable for applications like photo editing or light video editing and most other general productivity tasks value eyes I've got to give full marks to both Dell and AMD the cost to build an equivalent system even using non-mining craze prices for the RX 580 lost nine hundred and fifteen bucks and ours came in at nine hundred and fifty you lose out on some enthusiasts stuff like better overclocking support but for folks who weren't gonna do that anyway $35 is a pretty compelling value for a functional if kind of crappy keyboard and mouse assembly service and a full system warranty so our hope is that Dell can pop out heaps of these systems so that AMD gets the cash flow going to continue improving Rison and continue stirring up the processor market well hey there can't it's um - and I'm here to tell you
