Given that Ryzen 7 CPUs launched just over a month ago, system integrators have been quick to start building new PCs based on the Ryzen platform. The system in for review today from AWD-IT is one such example, as their Phoenix system is built around the 1700X chip and the Aorus AX370 Gaming 5 motherboard. With the inclusion of a GTX 1080 alongside the 1700X, could the AWD-IT Phoenix be the perfect Ryzen PC?
The second PC I have seen from the folks at AWD-IT, what makes the Phoenix interesting is its use of a Ryzen 7 1700X chip. If you have read our review of this chip over HERE, then you will know the 1700X is a great choice for those who regularly execute heavily multi-threaded tasks – its performance is similar if not better than competing X99 CPUs, while it only a fraction of the cost those Intel HEDT chips.
Our focus today is not just on the CPU, though, as we need to see how well AWD-IT can build a system around the Ryzen platform. Read on as we assess the Phoenix's build quality, performance and value.

Great review, flawed system. It hurts me to see such high end components put in what was always meant to be a cheap budget bottom end case, just because they put a tempered glass window on the side doesn’t change it. I had the case and could only tolerate it for a month. It really is paper thin rubbish and the CPU and GPU cooling on that system both exhaust back into the case. This could have been so much better with something like a Be Quiet Silent Base 600 Tempered Glass Which Retails for around the same price.

I emailed AWD to ask a few questions about a PC kit they were selling a few years ago. Never heard back from them so wasn’t impressed. Lost me as a customer then, funny how that works…..
Hopefully they have changed.
