Skytech Azure 3 Black 2025
Most buyers are thrilled with the raw performance, noting it runs demanding games like Cyberpunk with path tracing and handles 1080p Ultra easily. However, a few experienced early hardware failures (a dead PSU within a week) and minor cosmetic discrepancies versus product photos, such as non-RGB RAM and missing radiator cover. Overall, the machine delivers excellent speed and power, but quality control and future upgrade paths (AM4 platform) give some buyers pause.
Pros
- Excellent gaming performance
- Handles 1080p Ultra easily
- Capable of 1440p and 4K
- Well-packaged and assembled
- Fast and smooth operation
Cons
- PSU failed within a week
- Non-RGB RAM vs product photo
- Missing radiator cover
- Limited AM4 upgrade path
- Case arrived with dings and dents
