ASUS TUF SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0 AM3+ AMD 990FX + SB950 USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
ASUS TUF SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0 AM3+ AMD 990FX + SB950 USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS

Pros: I have had no problems with the MB. It stays cool even with heavy use.

Cons: none so far

Overall Review: The only problem I have had is the external USB 3 jack on my case stop working after just copying 7 files but I think it is the jacks not the MB. I have no way of testing it at this time.

Most Critical Review

not bad

Rosewill BLACKHAWK - Gaming ATX Mid Tower Computer Case, Blue Edition - Five Fans Included, Side Window Panel, Top HDD Dock

Pros: The number of fans. It stays cool.

Cons: USB 3 and Headphone jacks

Overall Review: I hooked up an external drive to copy 250 gig worth of data and after just copying 7 files the USB 3 port stop working. It could be my ASUS SABERTOOTH MB but I had no way of testing it. I was able to use the MB jacks with no issues. Also using the headphone jack, the plug does not want to stay in the jack. Other than that I am happy with the case for the price (I got it on sale).

It was free with the AMD 5 processor I bought.

Kingston NV3 M.2 2280 1TB PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SNV3S/1000G  Up to 6000 MB/s
Kingston NV3 M.2 2280 1TB PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SNV3S/1000G Up to 6000 MB/s

Pros: I am using it as an extra drive because I bought two gig and a four gig drives that are faster then the free one.

Cons: No cons

Overall Review: it has been handy.

The processor does just what I bought it for.

AMD Ryzen 5 7600X - Zen 4 6-Core 4.7 GHz - Socket AM5 - 105W Desktop Processor (100-100000593WOF)
AMD Ryzen 5 7600X - Zen 4 6-Core 4.7 GHz - Socket AM5 - 105W Desktop Processor (100-100000593WOF)

Pros: I had an old PC that I built almost 11 years ago with an AMD processor. With this new AMD 5, it is like night and day with the speed so far. If I need to, I can upgrade it to a faster processor since it is AMD 5.

Cons: So far no cons.

Overall Review: Looking forward to just playing with my new toy.

The motherboard is pretty much what i expected.

Pros: The board was easy to setup like I wanted.

Cons: The 2 extra M2 slots, I wish they had heatsinks. The manual was not worth looking at. It is good that I still know a lot about PCs. A beginner would have to watch a lot of Youtube videos.

Overall Review: I wish I could have gotten a different board but they would not have come into stock for 2 or 3 months.

I am real happy with this case with just one con.

LIAN LI LANCOOL 207 Compact ATX RGB Gaming Computer Case, Tower Chassis w/ 2x140mm ARGB,2x120mm PWM Fans Pre-Installed, reinventing ATX Layout / Tempered Glass Side Panel (Black) --- LANCOOL 207RX

Pros: This case was a pleasure to build. I looked at a lot of cases and for the price this was at the top of my list. The only draw back was the cable management. I had a little trouble getting the cables arranged to be able to close the side door. But it worked. the air flow is so good that the fans on my GPU hardly turn on.

Cons: Cable management

Overall Review: I would recommend this case just to about everyone.
