Review: Chillblast Fusion Vector

Conclusion

Chillblast may have one eye on the millions of gamers vying for survival in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, but looking past the marketing tie-in, the Fusion Vector base unit is ultimately a high-powered machine that's good for both work and play.

The headline components include a Core i7-8700K processor, 32GB of DDR4 memory and GeForce GTX 1080 Ti graphics. Wrapping said parts inside an eye-catching Corsair Crystal Series RGB chassis is a sure-fire way to create a potent build, but Chillblast has skipped some of the finer details. The bare memory sticks look out of place, an 80 Plus White PSU isn't befitting a build of this magnitude, and it's a shame neither the CPU nor GPU are overclocked as standard.

Neither of these missed opportunities can be deemed deal-breakers - performance is ultimately strong and the rig is handily placed for high-resolution gaming - yet given the £2,700 price tag it is fair to expect excellence in every aspect.

Bottom line: Fusion Vector has the makings of a formidable all rounder but needs a few small tweaks or a revised price tag in order to stand out from the crowd.
