Anyone here used Chillblast machines?


Recommended Posts

Hi guys, I’m still looking at going for a new pc although due to a change in my circumstances I.E. I’m now a father, for the 1st time in my pc career I’m looking at purchasing a off the shelf pc :O

 

Been looking around for the last few weeks and came across a company called Chillblast, which appears to have very good reviews, and has a machine which they claim, is the fastest flight sim PC avalible, which is a rather bold claim. Now it is within my budget just and on paper looks rather impressive, but I cannot find ANY reviews of this pc anywhere.

 

It’s called the Fusion Valkyrie.

I was just wondering if anyone here within our community has come across these guys or maybe used the machine itself as given the claim of the fastest flight sim pc avalible, we are obviously the target market.

 

 

 

I’m planning to use it with XP11, DCS and Star Citizen running at 4K and I have a target a FPS of at least 60. My current pc still runs most but she’s struggling with XP and I very very rairly can get FPS above 20, DCS runs at about 25 - 30 hence it being time for a new pc.

 

Although I am tempted to hang on for the latest Nvidia cards due out in a few months.

Hey man,

 

 

I think the chip is not the best for DCS, there are better suited ones.

 

 

The rig itself is real nice, no doubt, but I'd couple the rest with either a 2700x Ryzen or 8700k. Actually I'd take the 2700x without a doubt.

Similar to you, I used to put together my PCs. Last two I bought from Chillblast. One back in 2014 and one a couple of months ago. I liked the first one enough that I didn't hesitate to go back when I needed a new one. Had little experience with their customer service, but what I did have was positive. Impressed by the tidiness of their builds as standard and happy with the value for money. Unless something changes I'll get my next from them in a few years.
