8Pack returns! And this time with something truly unique.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Introducing the Frame R8<\/strong> – an innovative entirely wall mounted PC.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Frame R8’s unique aesthetic is the result of a collaboration with startup Creative Solutions For Gamers (CSFG)<\/a>. Just over a year ago, the Swedish founders of CSFG had the idea to make a professionally manufactured wall mount capable of holding an entire PC. After extensive planning and testing, they were able to develop a prototype that could be manufactured at scale from their factory in Poland.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

A chance meeting with 8Pack at a trade show occurred and a partnership quickly formed with CSFG supplying their Crow<\/em> wall mount and 8Pack using his knowledge of components and overclocking to devise the perfect complementary hardware setup.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

CSFG has made some customisations to differentiate this unit from previous versions, including a bespoke distro plate and a dedicated flight case for shipping – just to make sure it arrives in the best condition. The result is a stylish water cooled PC system, with red coolant by default to mark this as 8Pack’s first all AMD build.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

AMD Power<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

he Frame R8 is as powerful as it is aesthetically pleasing as a result of using an AMD RYZEN\u2122 5900X CPU<\/a> Overclocked to 4.7GHz and RADEON\u2122 6800XT<\/a> GPU Overclocked up to 2650MHz. This stunning combination ensures that the Frame R8 can handle even the most intense games and computational intense applications.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Exploiting the AMD RDNA\u2122 2 architecture, the Frame R8 ensures vibrant visuals with further enhancements thanks to AMD FidelityFX and Radeon Image Sharpening. Additionally, AMD FreeSync\u2122 Technology3 prevents tearing and, as a complete AMD build, Radeon\u2122 Software Performance Tuning Presets are available for detailed customisations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the core of the Frame R8 is its ASUS OG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero X570, a fully featured motherboard with a sleek black PCB with subtle chrome and RGB elements. It has an advanced VRM architecture for efficient and safe power distribution, extensive I\/O ports and ASUS’s <\/a>tuning software to maximise performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile extensive storage is offered by two 1TB SAMSUNG 980 PRO NVME DRIVE<\/a> and access time are kept speedy thanks to 32GB of 3600MHz 8Pack Team Group Dark Pro<\/a> memory.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
