CLX Horus is the perfect gateway to PC gaming

CLX draws inspiration from Egyptian mythology, so many of the product families are named after gods like Ra, Horus, Osiris, and Anubis.

Every PC gets shipped in a massive wooden crate like it’s some kind of ancient artifact, which enhances the vibe.

We tested a recommended Horus build for several months. The performance was phenomenal.

Highlights of this build include:

• Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 6GB
• Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 3.8GHz Octa-Core
• Motherboard: ASRock B550M Pro4/ac - Micro ATX

A real highlight of our experience was playing the Back 4 Blood beta on the Horus.

Rushing into battle in Chivalry II was also brilliant. Despite the occasional connectivity issues, gameplay ran smoothly.

The Horus could easily handle Call of Duty: Warzone at max settings, along with anything else thrown its way.

CLX began incorporating 11th Gen Intel Core processors in March 2021, and the processing power really shows with the following:

• PCIe Gen 4 supports the latest discrete graphics cards and other PCIe devices
• Intel Killer Wi-Fi 6/6E technology automatically prioritizes play on busy networks
• Thunderbolt 4 technology brings fast connectivity to monitors and other peripherals
• Intel Optane memory launches games and loads levels faster than ever before

The PCs themselves are also a real work of art.

Perhaps the greatest benefit of using CLX rather than building your own PC is how much better the company is at assembling it.

The internal Aura RGB LED lighting is perhaps the best part.
