I usually build my own pcs, but I was worried about the scarcity of the 30 series cards. Hence, I decided to preorder a MSI Gaming X Trio 3080 through Dreamcore. As luck would have it, they just brought in the CoolerMaster NR200P (Fuel) as part of their lineup.

I was ecstatic! It was the case I have been planning to build my 30 series system in a few months prior to Nvidia s announcement.

The whole process was a surprisingly smooth one!
I called them up on the day of Nvidia s announcement, and placed my order and deposit.

Through the next few weeks, I had multiple email exchanges with Shaun who followed up after the call.
Not once did the experience feel horrible! He was patient with my queries & had prompt replies.

Their customer service is next level and here s why:

I first configured my system to run an i9 10900 to pair with my gpu, which I decided later on to swap to the i9 10900k instead. I called them up, they told me that the system was built and ready to be delivered but they ll see what they can do.

20 minutes later, I get a call saying that my system is back in the assembly line and they will do the cpu swap as soon as possible. I was pleasantly surprised!

As of writing, it has been 27 days since the delivery, I chose to wait this long to see if I ll face any issues like thermal throttling, bad parts, etc before writing the review. I must say I m extremely pleased.

There is one caveat; I use this system in an air-conditioned room so your mileage may vary.
However after removing the side panels to see how the system was built, I'm sure it ll run just fine in Singapore s weather.

What to expect:
10/10 Customer Service.
Smooth purchasing experience.
Most importantly, pure gaming & productivity bliss.
