Crazy Bad ASUS Pre-Built Gaming PC for $2500 (G22CH-DH978 Review)

Sponsor: Hyte Y70 Case on Amazon https://geni.us/p2lWP (or blue Y70 on Amazon https://geni.us/586E5q)
We bought the ASUS G22CH-DH978 pre-built gaming PC to review, originally priced at $2500. The pre-built PC is one of the worst-configured, and combined with misleading marketing, wins the award of being the worst pre-built we've reviewed so far. ASUS misses the mark on CPU clocks massively, performs equivalently to an i7-13700K in some tests we ran (despite it being a 14900K), and is intentionally power throttled just like the Corsair One i500 that we reviewed.
