Skytech Azure 3 Plus (R7 9800X3D / RX 9070 XT / 32GB RAM / 2TB SSD)

Manufacturer: Skytech

The Skytech Azure 3 Plus, configured with the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D and Radeon RX 9070 XT, is a desktop gaming PC built around a full ATX form factor. It ships with 32GB of DDR5 memory running at 6000 MHz and a 2TB NVMe SSD, offering a solid foundation for modern gaming workloads and day-to-day computing tasks within an enclosure measuring 465 mm tall and 211 mm wide.

The RX 9070 XT graphics card is based on the RDNA 4.0 architecture, built on a 4 nm process, and carries 16GB of GDDR6 VRAM across a 256-bit memory bus with a maximum bandwidth of 640 GB/s. It delivers 48.7 TFLOPS of floating-point performance alongside a texture rate of 760.3 GTexels/s, supports DirectX 12 Ultimate and ray tracing, and can drive up to four displays through a combination of three DisplayPort outputs and one HDMI 2.1 port. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU runs eight cores at a base speed of 4.7 GHz with a turbo of 5.2 GHz, backed by a substantial 96 MB L3 cache. Connectivity includes Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.2, USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports, and a single RJ45 Ethernet port, with a one-year warranty included.

Pros
  • The RX 9070 XT GPU delivers 48.7 TFLOPS of floating-point performance with 16GB of GDDR6 VRAM and 640 GB/s memory bandwidth, making it well-suited for demanding gaming and GPU-intensive workloads
  • The Ryzen 7 9800X3D offers 8 cores with a 5.2 GHz turbo clock, 96 MB of L3 cache, and an unlocked multiplier, giving the CPU strong single-threaded and multi-threaded capabilities
  • 32GB of DDR5 RAM running at 6,000 MHz provides fast system memory for multitasking and high-framerate gaming scenarios
  • A 2TB NVMe SSD offers substantial fast storage in a single drive, reducing load times across large game libraries and applications
  • The system supports up to four simultaneous display outputs through a combination of three DisplayPort and one HDMI 2.1 port, offering flexible multi-monitor setups
  • AMD SAM (Resizable BAR) and FSR4 support on the RDNA 4.0 GPU architecture enable additional frame-rate optimisation features
Cons
  • The maximum supported RAM speed is listed at 5,600 MHz while the installed RAM runs at 6,000 MHz, indicating a spec mismatch that may require XMP/EXPO profile handling
  • No USB 4 ports are present, and there are zero USB-C ports on the chassis, limiting compatibility with newer high-speed peripherals and accessories
  • Air-water cooling is not included, so thermal management for the 120W TDP CPU depends entirely on whatever cooling solution is pre-installed
  • The warranty period covers only one year, which is relatively short for a full desktop system
  • No Thunderbolt 3 or Thunderbolt 4 ports are available, restricting connectivity options for users who rely on Thunderbolt-based docking stations or external devices
Who is this for?

This system is well-suited for users who engage in high-demand PC gaming, particularly those running titles that benefit from large L3 cache, high VRAM, and fast DDR5 memory. The combination of the 8-core CPU with a 5.2 GHz turbo, 96 MB L3 cache, and an RX 9070 XT with 16GB of GDDR6 VRAM makes it a strong fit for playing modern, graphically intensive games at high resolutions and frame rates. The four-display output support and FSR4 compatibility also make it appealing for users interested in multi-monitor gaming or content consumption setups. The 2TB NVMe SSD and 32GB of DDR5 RAM further extend its usefulness for users who run large game libraries alongside background applications or light creative workloads simultaneously.

Who is this NOT for?

Users who require high-speed USB-C or Thunderbolt connectivity for external GPUs, professional docking stations, or fast peripheral ecosystems will find this system lacking, as it offers no USB 4 ports and no Thunderbolt 3 or 4 support. The absence of air-water cooling and no mention of an included cooler may make this a less straightforward choice for users planning to take advantage of the unlocked CPU multiplier for sustained overclocking, as thermal headroom under heavy loads would depend entirely on whatever cooling is fitted. Additionally, users who need a compact or space-efficient desktop solution will find the ATX form factor and 41,306 cm³ chassis volume unsuitable for small-form-factor or space-constrained environments.

Final Verdict

The Skytech Azure 3 Plus configured with the Ryzen 7 9800X3D and RX 9070 XT is a well-specified desktop gaming system that brings together a cache-heavy 8-core processor, fast DDR5 memory, and an RDNA 4.0 GPU carrying 16GB of GDDR6 VRAM with 640 GB/s of memory bandwidth — a combination that positions it firmly within the upper tier of gaming-focused desktop builds. Its support for AMD SAM, FSR4, ray tracing, and multi-display output reflects a thoughtful feature set for users who prioritize graphical fidelity and display flexibility. Connectivity limitations around USB-C and the absence of Thunderbolt ports mean it is less versatile for users with professional peripheral ecosystems, and the ATX chassis rules it out for compact setups. Taken as a whole, the Skytech Azure 3 Plus delivers a capable and coherent configuration for dedicated PC gamers who want strong out-of-the-box performance within a standard desktop form factor.
