Velocity Micro Raptor Z95A Gaming PC Review: What Leaving It to the Pros Looks Like
Velocity Micro Raptor Z95A Buy at Velocity Micro Pros Excellent gaming performance Tidy interior Ample upgrade options Cons Considerably more expensive than DIY So-so front connections Velocity Micro Raptor Z95A Buy at Velocity Micro If you want an extreme gaming PC without bloatware or the tedious work of configuring and building it yourself, the Velocity Micro SX3 Raptor Z95A stands out as a compelling option. It's pricey, but the folks at custom builder Velocity Micro put together a tidy system using almost exclusively standardized parts, leaving the door open for future upgrades. While it's frequently cheaper to build on your own -- at the very least, you save on the cost of labor -- the Raptor Z95A manages to be fairly competitive with other systems in its class, like the $3,899 Corsair Vengeance a7400 or $4,699 Vengeance i8200, though it leaves room to be undercut by systems like this $2,750 Asus ROG G700 with an RTX 5080 of its own. The Z95A is built around a few core elements that don't change, no matter the configuration. It's centered around a Gigabyte Aorus Pro X870E motherboard and Velocity Micro's SX3 case -- a 55-liter tower that fits ATX and EATX motherboards. Closed-loop liquid cooling is also a central feature, with a 360mm radiator and the option for RGB-lit fans. Velocity Micro Raptor Z95A Price as reviewed $3,999 Size 55 liter ATX (19.3 x 18.9 x 9.25in/490 x 480 x 235 mm) Motherboard Gigabyte Aorus Pro X870E CPU 2.5GHz AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D Memory 64GB DDR5-5600 Graphics 16GB Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE Storage 2TB NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen 4 SSD Connections USB 2.0 (x2 rear), USB 3.0 (x2 front), USB-C 3.2 Gen 2x2 (x1 front), USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A (x4 rear), USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A (x3 rear), USB4 (x2 rear), 3.5mm audio connector (x1 front, x2 rear), Optical S/PDIF (x1 rear), 2.5GbE (x1 rear), Antenna x2, HDMI (x1 on motherboard Networking 2.5GbE, Qualcomm FastConnect 7800 Wi-Fi 7 802.11be, Bluetooth 5.4 Operating system Windows 11 Home 24H2 The configurations start at $2,549. At that price, you get a Ryzen 5 9600X processor with 32GB of DDR5-5200, a 750-watt 80 Plus Bronze power supply, a 1TB Kingston NV3 SSD, and an RTX 5060 8GB. (The "A" in Z95A refers to AMD. There's a Z95i based on Intel CPUs.) Our test configuration bumps up a Ryzen 7 9800X3D with 64GB of DDR5-6000, an 850-watt 80 Plus Gold power supply (an MSI MAG A850GL in this case), a 2TB Samsung 990 Pro SSD and an RTX 5080. When the unit was prepped, it was listed at $3,999, though currently it's sitting at $4,644, partly because of volatile component prices. That's far from the peak of the pricing. Higher CPU, GPU, memory, and storage options can ramp the price up dramatically. Bumping up our test configuration up to the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D and RTX 5090 alone would raise the price to just under $7,000. Josh Goldman/CNET If you tried to build it out piece by piece yourself, the configuration would cost roughly $3,000. This would be with largely identical parts, though calls for a different case and cooler, as Velocity Micro uses its own exclusive case and cooler. The extra $1,000 (or $1,644 at the current price) may be worth it for some, as it comes with some peace of mind that the cooling has been done effectively, the hardware is backed with a warranty, and the cable runs are kept neat. If you configure it yourself, you'll also have to bark up the tree of graphics card pricing. Unless you can get your hands on an RTX 5080 FE at its $1,000 retail price (or used), you might see your price leap up considerably. Clean but not too eye-catching "Micro" might be in the name, but there's nothing small about the Velocity Micro SX3 Raptor Z95A. The 55L SX3 case sits in the border between an ATX full and mid tower, able to accommodate as large as an E-ATX motherboard. As configured here, there's plenty of room inside the case thanks to the modest proportions of the RTX 5080 Founders Edition; it will be a little tighter with beefier GPU designs. Josh Goldman/CNET The case doesn't stand out. It's a rather stately black build with a healthy combination of solid aluminum, perforated aluminum, and a glass side panel. There are a few plastic elements around the front, but they don't stick out or make the case seem cheap. The front grille offers plenty of air for the three intake fans while keeping the perforations small and tightly packed. Hair and dust are still likely to get sucked in, but the grille should keep a good deal out still. Velocity Micro's 360mm radiator attaches at the top of the case and gets three more 120mm fans exhausting through it. This placement is smart, as it avoids feeding the graphics card pre-warmed air from the radiator. There's one more 120mm exhaust fan in the rear. While this does mean there are more exhaust fans than intakes -- creating the risk of negative pressure that could pull dust into the system from gaps in the case -- the air resistance provided by the radiator should help prevent this. The front fans also have a mostly clear line to the back of the case, so they blow hard enough out the back to keep dust from entering through the less-filtered holes there. Josh Goldman/CNET Velocity Micro has done tidy work with the cable management. Cable runs are kept mostly out of sight, appearing only for the short distance they have to travel to plug into the motherboard and other components. Surprisingly, the backside of the case, behind the motherboard, isn't a complete rat's nest either. The lack of pre-wired SATA cable runs is a little disappointing, especially when the system includes two 3.5-inch drive bays in the basement of the case, near the power supply, and two 2.5-inch drive mounting points. I wasn't thrilled to see the hoses for the CPU cooler touching the GPU radiator fins, either. The hoses may degrade from contact with the hot metal, and the airflow out of the back of the GPU is likely impacted. Josh Goldman/CNET The motherboard offers a great selection of ports, including 2.5Gb Ethernet to go on top of the Wi-Fi 7 support. The front I/O is limited with just two USB-A ports, a USB-C port, and a 3.5mm combo jack. The case allows the front I/O to sit either on the left side near the bottom or up at the top edge. The muscle 4K gaming calls for The Z95A is an extreme-performance system. It pairs some of the most powerful gaming PC hardware on the market for both high-frame-rate and quality 1080p and the horsepower to handle 4K gaming with cranked-up settings. In all of our game benchmarks, the system was happy to run at an average of more than 150fps at 4K, and that's without even tapping into the advanced Nvidia DLSS optimizations available to it, like Frame Generation. Monster Hunter Wilds' benchmark ran at 64fps in 4K with Ultra settings and DLAA enabled. Dialing back to 1080p but leaving other settings unchanged, it hit 120fps on average. That's without Frame Generation, which Monster Hunter Wilds encourages you to enable. Josh Goldman/CNET It can also keep on trucking even under demanding loads. In 3DMark's Steel Nomad stress test, the Raptor Z95A sustained its frame rate over 20 runs with a top score of 8285 (83fps) and a lowest score of 8139 points (81fps) -- that's just some run-to-run variability, not a steady decline in performance. The fans kick up a bit to sustain this performance, but they're not very loud or shrill. Beyond gaming, the Raptor Z95A holds up in high-end everyday operation, and it's well-suited to AI applications with the RTX 5080 tucked inside. It has some of the fastest CPU performance I've seen from systems I've tested for CNET, although some of the top-end Intel chips still rival it for single- and multi-core performance. Naturally, all this power comes with some heat, and it spits plenty out the top and rear. But the important thing is that it's spitting that heat out. The CPU manages to level off around 52 degrees Celsius, and the GPU levels off around 72. Working inside the case shouldn't be terribly difficult, as it's quite spacious. And because Velocity Micro has used all standardized components, your upgrade options will be basically limitless. The AM5 platform of the motherboard should be supported for a while yet, and the case has plenty of room for much beefier graphics cards in the future. All in all, it's a fast, solid build that should allow for enough upgradability to offset the high price over time.

F1 has a complex history in America, but cracked it eventually
This article is part of our 75 Years of Speed series, an inside look at the backstories of the clubs, drivers, and people fueling Formula One. The idea of Formula One taking over Times Square for the premiere of a new Hollywood movie about the sport was fanciful just 10 years ago. For so long, F1 had tried to crack America but failed time and time again. It seemed like whatever the sport did, no matter where it raced, F1 couldn't quite tap into the American psyche enough to enjoy sustained success. Advertisement But as Brad Pitt posed on the 'grey' carpet (resembling an F1 starting grid) at Radio City Music Hall in New York City to promote the new F1 movie in June, it proved just how far the sport had come in the United States. The film went on to become a box office hit, pulling in more than $500 million to stand as one of summer 2025's biggest blockbusters. 'Having been in the sport for so long, to see the progress from then to now, it's pretty phenomenal,' Lewis Hamilton, the seven-time world champion, told reporters in June. '(It's) not only within the paddock, but just how the world perceives (the sport) and appreciates it. It's so great to see and be able to share that with so many more people around the world.' The turnaround has been dramatic. The calendar now features three American races per season – in Austin, Miami and Las Vegas — and two teams, Haas and Cadillac, will race under the star-spangled banner in 2026. The success of Netflix docuseries 'Drive to Survive' and the embracing of digital media undoubtedly played an enormous role in finally capturing that much-prized American audience. But to understand why F1's Stateside success is so significant, and in some ways sudden, the tricky path to this point cannot be ignored. When the F1 world championship was formed in 1950, the United States hosted the only round outside of Europe in the inaugural season. But it wasn't a 'grand prix', nor a race for F1 cars. The Indianapolis 500 had long established itself as the 'greatest spectacle in motor racing,' first taking place in 1911. But it was included on the F1 calendar between 1950 and 1960, offering points towards the world championship. That wasn't enough to lure F1 regulars over. Alberto Ascari was the only one to make a proper go at the Indy 500 in this stretch, opting to skip the season-opening Swiss Grand Prix in 1952 so he could qualify at the Brickyard. He retired from the race after 40 laps. But Ascari still secured the F1 world championship that year, winning the next six races. F1's Indy 500 years remain statistical quirks to this day — with true interest from F1 drivers in 'crossing codes' only starting in the 1960s, as Jim Clark and Graham Hill made successful attempts to win the famous race in 1965 and 1966 respectively. But the first running of the United States Grand Prix as an F1 world championship round did not occur until 1959, when it was held at Sebring in Florida that December as the season finale. It was backed by businessman Alec E. Ullmann, who was also bankrolling the 12-hour sportscar race at the track. Advertisement The F1 race proved a financial failure and wasn't warmly received by the F1 paddock, which prompted a move to Riverside, California, for 1960. But a low fan turnout in the desert meant this too was one-and-done. F1 instead moved to Watkins Glen in New York, which was quickly becoming the premier road course in the United States. The United States Grand Prix's move to Watkins Glen in 1961 also coincided with the crowning of the first American F1 world champion, Phil Hill, who raced for Ferrari. Hill won the title in tragic circumstances after his teammate and championship rival, Wolfgang von Trips, was killed in the penultimate round at Monza. Hill won the title by a single point and Ferrari opted not to compete in the Watkins Glen season finale. As F1 bedded in at the Glen, staying there through to 1980, American drivers also enjoyed success. Dan Gurney was one of the leading lights of the 1960s, winning four races, while Richie Ginther, Masten Gregory and Peter Revson all also claimed grand prix victories. But no name was bigger than Mario Andretti, who went on to become the second (and most recent) American F1 world champion in 1978. Driving for Lotus, his title was also won under tragic circumstances following the death of his teammate and close friend, Ronnie Peterson, again at Monza. Sensing a growing interest in the sport and with local figures eager to boost the popularity of the city, a second American race was added to the calendar in 1976 in Long Beach, California. Andretti's victory in 1977 boosted the race's profile, while the 1983 United States Grand Prix West (as it was known) featured John Watson's remarkable charge from 22nd on the grid to victory. As eventful as the racing was, it wasn't enough to convince race organizers that keeping F1 was financially viable. The Grand Prix of Long Beach became a Championship Auto Racing Teams (CART) event from 1984, and today remains a regular fixture on the IndyCar calendar. By the start of the 1980s, Watkins Glen had also started to lose its allure, its facilities growing outdated, and by now there were several other American cities circling a calendar slot. The financial success of the Las Vegas Grand Prix's debut in 2023 starkly contrasted the first time F1 visited Nevada. Back in 1981, the season finale was held on a track constructed on the Caesars Palace car park. Chris Pook, the Long Beach promoter, was drafted in to try and establish a high-roller event similar to the boxing prize fights that were taking place in the city. But it never resonated with locals. Nor did the event endear itself much to F1, which left after two races. Former F1 driver Derek Daly told The Athletic in 2023 the race was 'more a novelty than an event.' Advertisement Caesars Palace wasn't the only fleeting venture for F1 in the United States in the 1980s. Dallas held its one and only race in 1984, an event marred by extreme heat that caused the track to break up. Nigel Mansell even collapsed as he pushed his Lotus car over the finish line. Serious financial issues meant by 1985, the company behind the race was bankrupt The only lengthy home for F1 in the United States through the 1980s was in Detroit, which joined in 1982 as a third American round. By 1988, it would be the last one standing. The event's backers viewed F1 as a way to boost the city's image, while Detroit's significant automaker presence also provided an added interest spike. The drivers found the street track to be a grueling, bumpy challenge that took its toll on both their cars and bodies. F1 demanded improvements to temporary pit and paddock arrangements that the city would not agree to, leading to the Detroit Grand Prix falling off the schedule after 1988. Ayrton Senna had just won the race for a record third time. The 'United States Grand Prix' moniker returned one year later with a new race in downtown Phoenix on a five-year deal. This faced immediate opposition from locals, with a low turnout for 1989's inaugural race being put down to June heat. But a March move to become F1's season opener for 1990 did little to boost interest and the race was cancelled after 1991. Few tears were shed in either F1 or the city. But it did leave an America-sized hole in an calendar that was becoming increasingly global. The gap would ultimately be filled by Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS). Tony George, then IMS president and CEO, was in talks with F1 ringmaster Bernie Ecclestone from the early 1990s about the possibility of bringing grand prix racing back to the Speedway. Eventually, a deal was announced in late 1998 for a first race in 2000. Advertisement A huge crowd of more than 220,000 fans attended the return race, but it was always an awkward fit between slotting F1's own traditions and quirks into America's established racing capital. F1 gained some goodwill by becoming the first international sporting event to take place in the United States after the 9/11 terror attacks. But in 2005 a farcical race occurred with only six cars taking part. This was after all cars running Michelin tires were forced to withdraw on the formation lap due to safety concerns. This marked the beginning of the end for the sport's tenure at Indianapolis. The final United States Grand Prix held there was won by Hamilton in 2007. Fresh financial terms could not be agreed as F1's demands grew increasingly difficult for organizers to reasonably accommodate. The event's failure did little to dispel the thought that F1 simply couldn't crack the United States long-term. But that wasn't going to stop F1 trying again, with a new project emerging in the late 2000s. This was aimed at hosting a grand prix on a barren patch of land on the outskirts of Austin, Texas. Originally earmarked for affordable housing before the 2007-09 Great Recession, land owner Bobby Epstein was put in touch with Ecclestone about creating America's first purpose-built F1 track. Plans for the United States Grand Prix to take place at the Circuit of The Americas (COTA) were unveiled in 2010, but Austin was not alone in trying to entice F1 back. Ecclestone had been pushing ahead with a long-held dream of taking F1 to New York City — or close enough — and struck a deal for a street race to be held across the Hudson River in New Jersey as the 'Grand Prix of America' from 2013. The NYC skyline was to feature in the event's backdrop. COTA's development had stalled amid financial concerns and wrangling behind the scenes, only for the New Jersey threat to prompt organizers to rally under Epstein. The track was finished in time to host its first United States Grand Prix in 2012. The circuit drew acclaim from drivers for its undulation and exciting corners, many of which took inspiration from great race tracks across the world. Despite being included on provisional F1 calendars for 2013 and 2014, the New Jersey race never got close to becoming a reality. This left Austin to cement itself as F1's only American round in the 2010s. The event may have been popular for the F1 paddock and fans who attended, but it proved a big ask financially. Heavy rain in 2015 proved disastrous for subsequent ticket sales and this coincided with a $6 million cut in state funding due to concerns over gate numbers. This caused serious doubts over F1's long-term future in Austin — and again in America overall. Advertisement But COTA's owners doubled down on attempts to become more than a race. The track secured big headline acts – including Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars and Ed Sheeran – to play over its grand prix weekend. Swift's show in 2016 was her only performance of that year, contributing to a record crowd that breathed fresh life into the Austin race. In early 2017, F1 itself came into American ownership after Liberty Media completed its acquisition of the sport. It quickly identified a series of easy wins to unlock what it saw as huge untapped potential in the United States market. An overhauled, modern approach to digital media was unleashed, which introduced long-standard practices from other sports. Examples included making highlights available online and loosening restrictive social media rules for competitors. It all helped F1 reach a wider audience. But no move was more significant than F1 opening its paddock gates to cameras from Netflix for 'Drive to Survive,' which debuted in 2019. Despite initial concern from some teams over the secrets it might give away — Ferrari and Mercedes refused to take part in the first season — the series proved to be a huge hit. It was boosted notably in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, when much of the world's population was required to stay home. F1's fanbase changed and evolved through this time, becoming younger and more diverse. When F1 returned to Austin in 2021 after missing a year due to COVID-19, a record crowd of 400,000 fans attended, signaling the explosion of interest. Liberty also set about reaching what it called 'destination cities'. The first was Miami. Various proposals were considered before a race around Hard Rock Stadium, home to the Miami Dolphins, was ultimately selected. The event debuted in 2022 and was won by Max Verstappen. One year later, F1 was racing down the Strip in Las Vegas, the memories of the Caesars Palace failure soon banished. This came about after F1 secured an agreement with the city's casinos to stage a grand prix. The first two runnings, despite facing significant local pushback, have proven a financial success for Las Vegas and F1 itself, which promotes the race. Advertisement To have just one successful, stable grand prix in the United States was the dream for many in F1 across eras. Yet it now has three races that are firm parts of its identity and its future. Miami's contract was renewed in May through to 2041; Austin's deal runs until next year, but there's no doubts over an extension; and officials in Las Vegas are moving toward another two years beyond 2025, but with longer-term plans in mind. F1 has also entered the cultural mainstream, both globally and in the United States. The movie's success proves as much. F1's transformation in the United States has been dramatic under Liberty Media. But as complex as its history may have been in the U.S., the sport's potential was always there. It just required a big shake-up to unlock it. The 75 Years of Speed series is part of a partnership with Shell. The Athletic maintains full editorial independence.
