VERDICT
Don’t let its last-gen parts fool you: this is a perfectly capable PC and then some
CROSSOVER EVENTS DON’T happen much in tech, but when they do it’s guaranteed to turn heads. Here’s one we especially didn’t see coming: a PC Specialist desktop system, branded by the eSports production firm ESL.
It’s an eclectic mix, but there’s nothing too out-there about the PC itself. Contained inside the lovely Cooler Master Masterbox K500 (Shopper 371), this is a high-end gaming system using familiar high-end gaming parts, including a Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 graphics card and an Intel Core i7-8700K CPU.
The latter is overclocked to 4.7GHz, the chip’s standard Turbo Boost speed, but it will run at this higher speed all the time instead of only when it’s running cool enough. To keep a lid on the resulting higher temperatures, an all-in-one watercooler is installed as well.
