Works great
Pros: Ample power for an overclocked i7-4930K, two GTX 980 video cards, four SSDs, one optical drive, eight 120mm fans, and a 360mm Deep Cool Captain water cooler.
Cons: None
Asrock & Roll then Crash Part II
Pros: I received the replacement board, tore down my machine again, and installed it with high hopes.
Cons: It will not boot into Windows 7 64bit. I formatted the SSD drive and tried re-installing the OS but ran into an error and the installation aborted. I tried installing the OS on a WD Raptor 150 HDD but the mouse and keyboard wouldn't work.
Overall Review: I removed the board put back in my Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R. I had to reinstall Windows 7 on my OCZ 100GB SSD and was shocked by how fast the installation went as opposed to the attempt on the Asrock board.
Lookin Good
Pros: Quiet and powerful
Cons: Huge and expensive
Overall Review: The Asus GPU, on an Asus BTF board, with Lian Li cooling, in MSI Maestro case, looks fantastic in my opinion.
Power
Pros: It runs my overclocked i9-13900K, RTX 4090, four M.2 drives, and nine QL fans with power to spare.
Cons: Have to use four cables to power my RTX 4090.
Overall Review: This PSU has powered my last three build versions without missing a beat.
Faster than a speeding 4080 part 2
Pros: I posted the wrong photo, the one with the 4080 that had RGB.
Cons: I miss the 4080's RGB.
Overall Review: Running at 133% power and overclocked with MSI Afterburner it is even faster.
Fast and cool
Pros: Small enough to mount vertically and runs very cool. Much faster than my 3080ti was.
Cons: Couldn't get my hands on a 4090.
Overall Review: Fast, cool, and relatively quiet.
Fast delivery and very well packaged
The tempered glass panel added the final touch to my Thermaltake Core P3 build.
Needed for RGB madness
My Asus ROG Maximus IX Code motherboard only has one internal USB header but I need three for my NZXT Kraken X52, Thermaltake RGB power supply, and the front panel header. The NZXT USB hub was inexpensive, delivered fast, and works great.
