Excellent motherboard with plenty of features
Pros: Solid built Built-in RGB Huge amount of NVME slots (5?) Support for PCIe 5.0 & DDR5 7200+ Built in Wifi / Bluetooth Tons of USB Ports / IO Options
Cons: None so far
Overall Review: Something I just found out is that the Q-Code readout while in Windows actually shows the temperature of your memory / RAM. It will be 35 to 45 while browsing the internet but when gaming it will show 60+. I thought this was a cool feature that I hadn't seen before. I didn't see anything about it in the manual in the Q-Code section. If you are wanting to install a lot of NVMe drives, this is the board for you. It has at least 5 slots all with their own heatsinks. Back IO has tons of USB 3.0 ports as well as a couple USB C, 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, Easy Bios updatability, & Bios Flashback. Overall, it's a very nice motherboard with lots of features. Definitely recommend if you have room in your budget.
So far so good
Pros: ATX 3.0 / PCIE 5.0 1000W 12VHPWR (Cable Included) Solid built
Overall Review: I built my computer about a week ago now and everything seems to be working fine. All the cables are sleeved and stored within a reusable bag. I like that this PSU has the 12VHPWR connector for the 4090 so that you don't have to use the adapter (which is apparently causing issues for some people). No issues so far.
Awesome RGB Cable
Pros: Super bright RGB Customizable with software Improves the look of pretty much any build
Cons: The L-Connect 3 software can sometimes clash with other software (i.e., Asus motherboard Armoury Crate).
Overall Review: If you are wanting to sync this cable to your fans, motherboard, RAM, etc., the Lian Li L-Connect 3 program has a setting in "Quick/Sync Lighting" tab. You turn on "MB Lighting Sync" and it will allow you to use your motherboard's software instead of L-Connect 3. Overall a very nice looking RGB extension. Well worth the money to improve the look of my computer build.
Love this case
Pros: Sleek looking RGB is nice Solid glass tinted panels Lots of room Fits a MSI Gaming Trio 4090 with 360 AIO easily (still a good 2+ inches of space)
Cons: If you have a lot of RGB, the back cable management can be a bit cramped
Overall Review: I really love the look of this case as well as the huge amount of airflow. What I did for my build was move the 2 large fans to the bottom and mounted a Corsair 360 AIO to the front. Plugging in the front panel connectors on the bottom of the motherboard was a bit of an issue in terms of cable management. I had to adjust the bottom fans to allow cables to come through on the bottom left so I wasn't pulling a cable all the way from the right to a bottom left connector on the motherboard. Other than that, I didn't have much issue with the build. Some of the removeable panels (the top, for example) will easily come off when moving the case around but they included a way to screw them down with thumb screws to keep them stable.
Fast memory (7200 Mhz)
Pros: Super fast Looks nice
Cons: Unstable 7200 XMP out of the box
Overall Review: The memory is good so far. When running Memtest with it at XMP 7200, I was getting over 1,000 errors and then the Memtest froze. Keep in mind the only thing I did was change XMP to 7200. When I changed it to XMP 7000, I got 0 errors. The 7200 errors could be due to not enough voltage but not sure. I'll have to play around with 7200 a bit more and see if I can get it stable with 0 Memtest errors. 7000 Mhz is still really good regardless.
Excellent Print Quality - Excellent Price
Pros: Print quality is excellent. Very clear prints overall. Currently using the starter cartridge and have printed over 100 pages thus far with no quality issues or paper jams. Wireless works well. I'm using Windows 10. I installed drivers using the given CD-ROM. I set up wireless by installing drivers as "Printers Connected To a New Network." Currently, I don't have the printer connected to any computer via USB and I am able to print from any computer within distance (iOS devices, laptops, desktops). Printer is fairly small in size.
Cons: One of the biggest things I can think of is that the printer is fairly noisy. If this thing prints in a room with someone sleeping, it will likely wake them up. The printer is fairly small but can be very loud compared to other laser printers I own.
Overall Review: Overall, a great printer for the price.
