Although the all-AMD Conquest isn’t cheap, it’s still as much as $1,500 less than the competition. Even better, it comes with the backing of EK’s massive catalog of watercooling products, allowing you dip your toes into the world of custom watercooling before you fully dive in.

The 275 Conquest is a beautiful PC. The Lian Li PC-011 Dynamic it’s built inside is the best PC case you can buy, showing off the clean hardline tubing running throughout the machine. The 275 Conquest also has a distribution plate specifically designed for the case, which is washed in a sea of RGB.

EK also uses custom power supply cables for your 24-pin, 8-pin PCIe, and 8-pin CPU connectors, and they’re trained so that that none of the braided cables overlap each other. This is Falcon Northwest Talon levels of build quality, just without the massive premium.

EK has a little branding, but it’s all tasteful. The Lian Li badge that normally lives in the PC-011 Dynamic is replaced by an EK badge instead, and EK’s logo is etched into the top of the distribution plate.

One of the reasons the PC-011 Dynamic is a great PC case is that it offers a ton of room for cable management, and EK takes advantage of it. Even when you take off the back panel, there’s not a cable in sight. Everything is neatly tucked away, built with the attention to detail you’d have if you put together the PC yourself. That’s a lot more than machines like the MSI Aegis RS 12 can say.

The only complaint I can drum up is that the tubing runs to the GPU look like they’re at a slight angle. It’s so slight that you can’t notice it from most angles. I’m in awe with the EK 275 Conquest, not only because of the exceptional build quality, but also because EK doesn’t charge a massive premium for it.

Specs and pricing

Everything in the EK 275 Conquest is branded, much like the Origin Neuron. You know exactly what you get upfront, so you don’t have to worry about some custom motherboard or manufacturer-only memory causing problems with your system.

CPU	AMD Ryzen 9 5900X
GPU	AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT
Motherboard	Asus Prime X570 Pro
Case	Lian Li PC-011 Dynamic
Memory	32GB G.Skill Trident Z DDR4-3200
Storage	1TB Seagate FireCuda 510, 4TB Seagate Barracuda
Power supply	EVGA 850W 80 Plus Gold
USB ports	9x USB-A (7x rear, 2x front), 2x USB-C (1x rear, 1x front)
Networking	1Gbit Ethernet

For specs, the 275 Conquest is just below EK’s top Conquest model, which comes with a Ryzen 9 5950X. You can scale down to a Ryzen 5 5600X and RX 6700 XT for $2,500. EK offers its Vanquish line for Nvidia fans, though these machines run a few hundred dollars more than their AMD counterparts.

You don’t have a lot of options for configuration, unfortunately. Memory and storage are the only two areas you can customize, and EK doesn’t offer any options with Intel processors. EK offers several configurations for AMD and Nvidia, though, so you shouldn’t have any problems finding a machine that works.

For pricing, the 275 Conquest is a great value. If you were to buy everything on your own, you’d spend around $4,000. The 275 Conquest costs $4,800, but $800 is a pretty reasonable premium, especially considering the $4,000 price I quoted doesn’t include things acrylic tube cutters, much less a three-year warranty that covers leaks.

The value is even more clear when you bring in the competition. A similarly configured Maingear Vybe with a three-year warranty will run you $6,000, and it comes with a much worse case. That’s not to mention the pedigree EK has in the watercooling community, with a massive catalog of products to trick out, repair, and upgrade your build in the future. All things considered, $800 is a small price to pay.

Servicing

Custom watercooling requires maintenance, but it’s a lot less tedious than you might think. EK ships the 275 Conquest without fluid in the loop. There are rogue splotches of water in the loop from when EK tested the machine before sending it out, but you’ll need to fill the loop yourself with the included fluid.

The included instructions are easy to follow, and EK even has a video showing the process on its YouTube channel. Squirting water into a PC always feels unnatural, but EK offers through instructions so that even beginners won’t feel lost. You can have the loop moving in about 15 minutes.

EK doesn’t offer any resources beyond the initial fill, though. The only documentation I could find on maintenance is an FAQ that recommends draining and refilling the loop annually.

This doesn’t seem like negligence, just oversight. The included doc has instructions for draining the loop, and EK includes an extra drain tube. Simply noting that you should refill the loop annually on the included instructions would go a long way, so I hope EK does that in the future.

Upgradability

Upgradability is dicey on the 275 Conquest for two reasons: The custom loop makes upgrades tedious, and most major upgrades will void your warranty. The warranty bit is frustrating, but it makes sense; if you have to take apart the loop to make an upgrade, EK has no way of guaranteeing it’ll be put back together without leaks.

If you want to upgrade and still be covered, you can call EK for a quote. It will collect, upgrade, and return your PC to you. EK normally has products for the latest CPU and GPU launches, so if you want a shiny new graphics card down the line, there’s a good chance EK will be able to accommodate.

For PC builders who can handle the moisture, the 275 Conquest is fair game. You can buy everything in the system, all bits of the cooling loop included, on its own. You’ll need to set aside some time to plan and execute upgrades due to the custom loop, but EK doesn’t lock users with upgrade limitations like the Asus GA35DX does.

Processor performance

The heart of the EK 275 Conquest is the Ryzen 9 5900X. It’s a powerful 12-core processor that, up until recently, was only outclassed by AMD’s own Ryzen 9 5950X. The Conquest is an all-AMD system, which is a bit to its determent (at least before AMD reveals its Ryzen 7000 processors).

|.. EK 275 Conquest (Ryzen 9 5900X) | Maingear Vybe (Ryzen 9 5900X) | HP Omen 45L (Core i9-12900K) ---|---|---|---
Cinebench R23 multi-core | 20,361 | 20,802 | 23,068
Cinebench R23 single-core | 1,581 | 1,597 | 1,893
Geekbench 5 multi-core | 13,813 | 12,724 | 15,685
Geekbench 5 single-core | 1,629 | 1,718 | 1,910
PugetBench for Premiere Pro | 842 | 956 | 1,025

The Ryzen 9 5900X inside the 275 Conquest falls in line where I’d expect. Compared to the Maingear Vybe, which has the same processor, you can see almost identical single- and multi-core results in Cinebench and Geekbench. The HP Omen 45L is a more interesting point of comparison.

It comes with Intel’s Core i9-12900K, which universally outclasses the Ryzen 9 5900X. The multi-core improvements in Geekbench and Cinebench are impressive, but the single-core results stand out more. Intel is at the top of the stack when it comes to processor performance right now, and the EK only offers machines with AMD chips.

The RX 6900 XT is a sour point for creative pros, too. You can see how it lags behind the RTX 3080 Ti in the Maingear Vybe and the RTX 3090 in the HP Omen 45L in PugetBench. Despite the RX 6900 XT being an exceptionally powerful GPU, Nvidia still has the lead when it comes to creative apps. Thankfully, EK offers Nvidia cards if you want one.

Gaming performance

Processor performance may be disappointing, but the 275 Conquest is a hell of a gaming machine. The RX 6900 XT powering the graphics is obscenely powerful, matching or even exceeding the best that Nvidia has to offer. You can see my results at 4K with the highest-quality preset below.

|.. EK 275 Conquest (RX 6900 XT) | Maingear Vybe (RTX 3080 Ti) | HP Omen 45L (RTX 3090) ---|---|---|---
Forza Horizon 4 | 192 fps | 148 fps | 159 fps
Red Dead Redemption 2 | 76 fps | 76 fps | 76 fps
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla | 68 fps | 64 fps | 66 fps
3DMark Time Spy | 19,492 | 17,160 | 18,523
3DMark Fire Strike | 39,307 | 35,088 |めずく Fortnite | 80 fps | 82 fps | 82 fps
Cyberpunk 2077 non-RT | 43 fps | 38 fps |めずく Cyberpunk 2077 RT w/ FSR | 42 fps | 38 fps |めずく

The HP Omen 45L comes with an RTX 3090, but the RX 6900 XT outclasses it. In every game but Fortnite, the RX 6900 XT managed a lead over Nvidia’s most powerful GPU. And those differences are significant in some cases, with the 275 Conquest outpacing the Omen 45L by nearly 21% in Forza Horizon 5.

Maingear Vybe内のRTX 3080 Tiまでステップダウンし、その違いはさらに多く開きます。そうは言っても、私はGPUの力に関係なく、特定のタイトルにいくつかの強い制限を見ました。 _red dead redemption 2_は、4Kで3つのGPUを横切って同じ平均フレームレートを持つ適切な例です。

RX 6900 XTは素晴らしいゲームGPUですが、それは弱さを持っています：光線トレース。 RX 6900 XTがオフになっているRX 6900 XTが短くなっているにもかかわらず、RTX 3080 TIでさえ、RX 6900 XTが短くなっているにもかかわらず、RX 6900 XTが点灯しています。あなたはAMDのFidelityFXのスーパー解像度（FSR）を補償することができますが、それは見栄えません。

NVIDIAグラフィックスカードの大きな利点は、今深い学習スーパーサンプリング（DLSS）です。レイトレースゲームをプレイ可能にすることは不可欠です、そしてそれはFSRよりも_much_見栄えがよく見えます。 RX 6900 XTは作物のクリームですが、NVIDIAは現時点ではプラットフォーム機能が優れています。そしてそれは_cyberpunk 2077._のようなタイトルの大きな違いを生み出します。

それでも、私は275征服のゲーム性能に非常に満足しています。レイトトレースパフォーマンスが悪いことではなかった場合、RX 6900 XTは市場の最良のグラフィックカードになり、質問はありません。良いニュースは、ほとんどのゲームでレイトレースを持っていないということです、そしてそれをオンにしたいのなら、FSRはそれでもあなたのパフォーマンスを向上させることができます。

ソフトウェア

275の征服がどれだけ正しいかを与えられていたが、マシンはぼかし注文を搭載していないことがわかりました。箱から取り付けられているものはすべてAMD Ryzen MasterとASUS Armory Crateです。内部のコンポーネントの両方の必須ユーティリティです。

マシンにはWindows 10がロードされています。 Windows 11はまだ非常に新しい、そして多くのPCゲーマーは安定性のためにWindows 10を好む。このマシンはWindows 11と完全に互換性がありますが、必要な場合は無料でアップグレードできます。
