High Performance Intel i9 Asteroid COF7 Gaming PC - Outer Space Edition

Premium Gaming Rig - Peak Performance

The Asteroid Gaming PC is a premium gaming rig. A game-changer, combining build value and performance, with unparalleled functionality for the price.

From the first shotgun blast to the final boss, the Asteroid Gaming PC is all about that feeling. The speed, the chaos, the glory kills, and the pulse of metal in your veins. It's the gaming experience exactly how it should be.

The specifications are high, and everything is placed in a large mid-tower case made of glass and dark metal, that looks subtle and refined. The glass panel on the left side gives a full view of the components, including the fans; there are mesh vents directly behind those fans. The whole case is spacious and well laid out inside, leaving plenty of room for future modifications and additions. The case also has sturdy feet that lift it up high enough for good airflow underneath.

There's a separate panel at the back for two additional HDDs or SSDs if you need more storage. There are some RGB lighting strips on the inside edges that add a bit of fun and combine well with the colourful Thermaltake fans. Alongside this, the cable management is neat and tidy.

The Asteroid Gaming PC is well-stocked on ports too. The front has two USBs, a mic and headphone jack, and a handy USB-C. The rear ports, motherboard and graphics card combined, total four DisplayPorts, two HDMIs, all the audio including optical, five USBs and two more USB-Cs.

Need For Speed

Inside is where it gets really tasty with the following headline attractions: an Intel i9-9900K CPU overclocked to 4.9GHz; NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 8GB GPU; an ASUS ROG Strix Z390-F gaming motherboard; and a 2TB Intel M.2 2280 NVMe SSD. Plus 16GB of RAM, ADATA DDR-3600MHz, is perfect for today's games. The Asteroid spits out some healthy 3DMark numbers, although that was expected. On Time Spy (DirectX 12) the Asteroid reached a dizzying 10730, aligning it with the top 6 percent of PCs tested on the software, and reached an enormous 23009 on Fire Strike (1080p), smashing it into the top 3 percent of data from machines tested.
