All elements are sorted into packages and neatly laid out - there are no complaints about the organization of the kit.
The assembly inside the case looks extremely neat. All components are installed without any visible flaws - the liquid cooling system is laid out correctly, the hoses do not bend or interfere with other elements. The Asus RTX 5060 Ti graphics card takes up almost the entire width of the case, but at the same time leaves enough air thanks to the perforation of the side walls. The cable routing is perfect: everything is secured with clamps, there are no wires sticking out anywhere, and visual noise is reduced to zero. It is especially nice to see the ASUS branded cable ties, which emphasize the thoughtfulness of every detail.
Taking a closer look at the central part of the system, you can see how compactly and powerfully the platform is arranged. The processor is cooled by an LC 240 liquid cooler, with the radiator located in the front part of the case. Kingston Fury memory has stylish metal radiators, and the slots are filled with a pair of modules with a dual-channel configuration. The Asus Prime B860-Plus board uses hidden wiring on the back side, which allows for a clean appearance with no visible wires in the area. CPU and VRM. Everything looks technologically advanced and modern.
On the back of the system unit, you can see that the cable management is flawless. All the wires are securely fastened, the bundles are aligned, and a sufficient number of fasteners and guides are used. The hidden layout of the motherboard deserves special attention: all the main connections are made on the back side, which significantly simplifies the organization of space and improves ventilation. This approach not only provides an aesthetic effect, but also facilitates maintenance.
The power supply area is completely covered by the lower section of the case, but the neat installation of the 750W ASUS device is visible. All the cables are hidden in the technical compartment, nothing interferes with air circulation. A separate ARGB extension cable for the fans is also laid at the bottom - nothing dangles, everything is secured. This level of installation can only be found in custom builds or premium brands.
The back panel of the case looks functional: large ventilation grilles, cutouts for all standard ports, and a visible video card area with three HDMI and one DisplayPort. All motherboard ports are aligned, a large number of USB 3.2, audio connectors, a network cable and two outputs for connecting monitors from iGPU. Also installed is a 120 mm fan with ARGB backlighting, blowing air out. The back panel repeats the style of the all assembly - nothing superfluous, everything to the point.
The I/O panel is not located on top, as in most cases, but at the front bottom, which allows for convenient use of the connectors when installing the system unit under the table. There is a power button with LED indication, two USB 3.0, one USB-C and a combined audio jack. Separately, we can note the textured surface of the panel, made with horizontal grooves - it looks unusual, but is convenient for all-day use.
The final appearance of the system with the backlight turned on makes a strong impression. Four ARGB fans on the front panel and a fifth for blowing create the effect of a full volume of glow. The backlight is synchronized, going through the Asus Aura controller, and looks rich, without sharp changes in brightness. Thanks to tempered glass and hidden wiring, the internal architecture is clearly visible, creating a visually clean and futuristic image. The assembly looks expensive and balanced, without an overload of effects.
HARDWARE FILLING |
The ExpertPC GLORY PBA computer is based on a modern Intel platform Arrow Lake and is completely built on ASUS Prime components. This allows for not only stable operation, but also the most accurate appearance of the assembly. In this section, we will examine each key element of the system in detail.
The video card in the assembly is an Asus Prime OC GeForce RTX 5060 Ti with 16 gigabytes of GDDR7 memory. The solution belongs to the latest generation and uses a 128-bit bus with a throughput of up to 448 GB per second. The frequencies are impressive: the core boost reaches 2572 MHz, and the memory operates at an effective frequency of 7000 MHz. The number of shader units is 4608, texture modules - 144. All modern technologies are supported: ray tracing, DLSS, DirectML, Vulkan and OpenGL 4.6. The connection is made via PCI Express 5.0, but in x8 mode, which is typical for the B860 platform - a limitation from the chipset. Despite this, the video card does not experience a shortage of bandwidth in games and works at full capacity.
Processor - Intel Core Ultra 7 265F. This is a 20-thread chip built on a 3nm process technology, with a configuration of 8 performance and 12 energy-efficient cores. It belongs to the new generation Arrow Lake and is installed in the LGA 1851 socket. The maximum boost frequency is 5.3 GHz, and the thermal package is limited to 65 watts. All modern instructions are supported, including AVX2 and FMA3. This processor is great for both gaming and working with heavy multi-threaded tasks. According to the readings CPU-Z and AIDA64 show that the voltage under load is around 1.43 volts, and the L2 and L3 caches are fully active, providing fast memory access and reduced response time.
The motherboard is Asus Prime B860-Plus WiFi. This is an ATX solution with support for reverse cabling, which significantly improves the appearance of the assembly and simplifies the wiring. The board is equipped with a built-in Wi-Fi module, two M.2 slots, radiators on the VRM and chipset, as well as full support for DDR5 with frequencies up to 6000 MHz according to EXPO / XMP profiles.

The RAM is represented by two Kingston Fury Beast DDR5 modules with a capacity of 16 gigabytes each. The operating frequency is 6000 megahertz, the timings when activating EXPO are 36-44-44-90 at a voltage of 1.35 volts. The memory is assembled on Micron chips, which are traditionally distinguished by good overclocking ability and stability. The performance is at a level, and if necessary, the user has room for manual tuning.
Data storage is implemented on the basis of the SSD Kingston NV3 with a capacity of 1 terabyte. This is an NVMe drive with a PCIe 4.0 interface and a declared read speed of more than 3000 megabytes per second. The temperature of the drive in idle mode is about 44 degrees, which confirms good thermal regulation indicators inside the case. The device is new, with minimal wear - only 8 hours of operation and less than 2 terabytes of recording.
The power supply is an Asus Prime 750W Bronze. This power reserve is more than enough for a system with an RTX 5060 Ti and a processor. Ultra 7, even taking into account possible upgrades. The PSU is certified according to the 80 PLUS Bronze standard, equipped with black braided wiring, a modular connection system and a quiet 120 mm fan. Inside the case, it is installed in a separate chamber, which has a positive effect on the temperature balance and simplifies cable routing.
The cooling in the system is provided by the Asus Prime LC 240 ARGB liquid cooling system. This is a two-section system with a 240 mm radiator located on the front panel of the case. The pump is installed directly on the cover CPU, the tubes are laid compactly, without bends. Additionally, the system is pre-installed with four ARGB fans, creating a directed air flow from the front and back.
Case — Asus A31 Plus Black Tempered Glass. This is a modern medium-format case with a fully mesh front, glass side panel and hidden cable management.

The case is ideal for such an assembly and emphasizes the signature minimalism of ASUS.
All components are selected in such a way that the system is balanced, quiet, productive and at the same time visually attractive. This is not just an assembly on new hardware, but a complete finished product in which each element works for the overall result.
UEFI Asus Prime B860-Plus WiFi |
Great, now let's move on to the UEFI BIOS section - an important part of any modern system, especially when assembling from scratch. This is where the behavior of key components is configured: the processor, memory, cooling system, storage and many other parameters. We will take a detailed look at the BIOS interface using the example of the Asus Prime B860-Plus WiFi board, where each section plays its role and can be useful for both a beginner and an advanced user.
The first BIOS screen is EZ Mode. This is a simplified mode where the system enters the first time it is turned on. All the basic information is collected here: the board name, the processor model, the total amount and frequency of RAM, the temperature of the components and the configuration of the drives. The main purpose of this screen is to quickly check that all the equipment has been detected correctly and, if necessary, immediately activate the XMP memory profile. You can also quickly configure the boot order and enable Intel Rapid Storage from here.
The Main tab in the advanced BIOS mode provides access to the main system parameters. Here you can find out the firmware version, BIOS build date, the volume and current frequency of the RAM, as well as the general condition of the hardware. This is a kind of "passport" of the platform, which is useful to look at before updating the BIOS or to clarify the current characteristics of the processor and RAM.
The Ai Tweaker section is designed to adjust performance. This is where you can adjust processor core multipliers, cache frequency, memory timings and frequencies, and XMP profiles. This tab plays a key role for those who want to manually set the hardware parameters — for example, to increase performance or reduce heating. Here you can overclock the processor and change the memory mode for a specific task.
The Advanced tab combines all detailed settings for the chipset, power subsystem, USB controllers, PCIe, ACPI and many other functions. This is a kind of "technical basement" of BIOS, where features like enabling ReSize BAR, changing energy profiles or managing built-in devices are hidden. Usually, people go here after assembly - to fine-tune the system's behavior for specific scenarios.
The Monitor tab displays temperatures, voltages, and fan speeds. It's your system's health control center — it lets you monitor your thermal picture and immediately identify potential cooling or power supply issues. Thanks to QFan Control You can manually adjust the ventilation curves, making the system quieter or, conversely, more efficient in cooling.
The Boot section is responsible for the boot order and startup modes of the operating system. Here you can choose which device to start from - for example, from an SSD or USB flash drive, if you need to reinstall Windows. Secure Boot is also enabled here, which protects the system from modified bootloaders. Useful when building from scratch and when testing different media.
The Tool tab contains useful built-in utilities. Here you will find ASUS EZ Flash for updating BIOS from a USB flash drive, securely erasing storage devices, and saving and loading custom BIOS profiles. This is an important section for maintenance or optimization - if you want to save your overclocking, for example, or transfer settings to another system.
Finally, the Exit tab completes work with the BIOS. Here you can save changes, reset the settings to factory defaults, or launch the EFI shell directly from an external drive. Although this section is the simplest, it is from here that the first reboot after setting up the entire system most often begins.
The entire BIOS menu on this board is conveniently organized and as clear as possible. Even without deep knowledge, you can activate the necessary functions and control the system's operation the first time. And for experienced users, there are wide opportunities for fine-tuning.
OPERATING MODES GPU Tweak III RTX 5060 Ti |
Mode Default Mode — the basic profile activated by default. It sets standard operating parameters with maximum stability. Boost frequencies reach 2572 MHz, power consumption is strictly limited to the nominal 100%, and the coolers remain off until the temperature exceeds the specified threshold. This mode is for all-day tasks and moderate gaming load without unnecessary noise.
Mode OC fashion Activates factory overclocking, flashed by the manufacturer into the BIOS of the video card. It increases the power limit to 110%, raises the Boost Clock to 2602 MHz and allows more aggressive behavior under high load. All this is accompanied by maintaining protection from overheating and supporting zero fan speed in idle mode. This is a solution for those who want more performance without manual overclocking and while maintaining factory tolerances.
Mode Silent Mode reduces the power limit to 90% and lowers the Boost Clock to 2542 MHz. This allows for lower power consumption and extremely quiet operation, especially in non-gaming or lightly loaded scenarios. At the same time, the amount of available video memory and all the functionality of the card - including support for DLSS, ray tracing and AV1 decoding - are fully preserved.
So, Asus GPU Tweak III is not just a recommended utility, but the main tool for managing the RTX 5060 Ti graphics card as part of this system. It is integrated at the BIOS level and provides control over the behavior of the device without resorting to a third-party solution.
