I LOVE IT

GIGABYTE Z590 AORUS MASTER LGA 1200 Intel Z590 ATX Motherboard with Triple M.2, PCIe 4.0, USB 3.2 Gen2X2 Type-C, Intel WIFI 6E, AQUANTIA 10GbE LAN
GIGABYTE Z590 AORUS MASTER LGA 1200 Intel Z590 ATX Motherboard with Triple M.2, PCIe 4.0, USB 3.2 Gen2X2 Type-C, Intel WIFI 6E, AQUANTIA 10GbE LAN

Pros: - so many fan headers! I think there's 8 if I remember right - has 2 RGB headers and 2 ARGB headers - backup BIOS - 11th gen Intel CPUs do in fact work (I'm running an 11900K)

Cons: - some of the Gigabyte software is a little finicky but it all works for me the way I want it to 99.99999% of the time.

Overall Review: I would definitely buy it again, however not everyone may need 3 PCI slots and/or 3 mSATA slots.

These are good

Asiahorse Power Supply Sleeved Cable for Power Supply Extension Cable Wire Kit 1x24-PIN/ 2x8-PIN (4+4) M/B,3x8-PIN (6+2) PCI-E 30cm Length with Combs(Dual EPS Black Mix)
Asiahorse Power Supply Sleeved Cable for Power Supply Extension Cable Wire Kit 1x24-PIN/ 2x8-PIN (4+4) M/B,3x8-PIN (6+2) PCI-E 30cm Length with Combs(Dual EPS Black Mix)

Pros: Motherboard cable plus 2 8-pin CPU cables and 3 8-pin PCIE cables, just what I needed! The length is good for me too, not too long or short.

Cons: I wish there were more organizing clips for the 8-pin PCIE cables since they have more exposed/visible length going out to plug into the GPU.

Overall Review: Sure they're great, if you need them buy these.

Better than I expected

ZOTAC GAMING GeForce RTX 3060 Twin Edge OC 12GB GDDR6 192-bit 15 Gbps PCIE 4.0 Gaming Graphics Card, IceStorm 2.0 Cooling, Active Fan Control, FREEZE Fan Stop ZT-A30600H-10M
ZOTAC GAMING GeForce RTX 3060 Twin Edge OC 12GB GDDR6 192-bit 15 Gbps PCIE 4.0 Gaming Graphics Card, IceStorm 2.0 Cooling, Active Fan Control, FREEZE Fan Stop ZT-A30600H-10M

Pros: I got this via the Newegg Shuffle, it wasn't my 1st choice to say the least. Using a PCIE4 slot with an 11900K and 3200MHz RAM: - most games on max or high settings rarely dip below 80fps - I've never seen the GPU temperature go above 70 (case and CPU also air-cooled) - it doesn't seem very loud either although hard to tell because my CPU cooler is definitely louder

Cons: Before this I was using a GTX 970 on an 8 year-old PC so it's hard for me to see anything bad about this... other than the fact it's not an RTX 3080, which is what I really wanted. Maybe now I can get an RTX 3080 Ti instead LOL

Overall Review: If you actually want an RTX 3060 this one does the job pretty well, I'm genuinely impressed.

It works

Intel Core i9-11900K - Core i9 11th Gen Rocket Lake 8-Core 3.5 GHz LGA 1200 125W Intel UHD Graphics 750 Desktop CPU Processor - BX8070811900K
Intel Core i9-11900K - Core i9 11th Gen Rocket Lake 8-Core 3.5 GHz LGA 1200 125W Intel UHD Graphics 750 Desktop CPU Processor - BX8070811900K

Pros: It's great I guess... I haven't overclocked it yet because the best GPU I could get is an RTX 3060 so... no point right now.

Cons: - Maximum 3200MHz memory speed - It doesn't come with a cooler but you should be buying a better one anyway

Overall Review: It's everything Intel says it is.

Nice monitor

MSI Optix MAG274QRF 27" WQHD 2560 x 1440 (2K) 1ms (GTG) 165 Hz 2 x HDMI, DisplayPort, USB-C NVIDIA G-Sync Compatible Height Adjustable IPS Gaming Monitor
MSI Optix MAG274QRF 27" WQHD 2560 x 1440 (2K) 1ms (GTG) 165 Hz 2 x HDMI, DisplayPort, USB-C NVIDIA G-Sync Compatible Height Adjustable IPS Gaming Monitor

Pros: G-Sync works, colors are good, it is what it's supposed to be.

Cons: The monitor backlight will never shut off during the "monitors off" power saving mode in Windows unless you go into the monitor settings and disable the auto-scan feature, and even then sometimes it stays on for some reason. -1 egg for that annoyance.

Overall Review: Yeah I would recommend it still, works great!
