Most Favorable Review

Nice case.

Phanteks Enthoo Evolv X PH-ES518XTG_DBK01 Satin Black Aluminum / Tempered Glass ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Phanteks Enthoo Evolv X PH-ES518XTG_DBK01 Satin Black Aluminum / Tempered Glass ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Good quality, Clean look, Easy to run neat wiring, Good cooling. LED lighting is a nice touch.

Cons: PS mounting is not very secure, which is ok for a PC that won't be moved or shipped assembled. [It is only mounted at the case back without any support at the opposite end, near the cables.]

Overall Review: This case fit my primary needs. Super neat wire routing. Good cooling. [Air, in my case.] Quiet. A nice clean look. Room for an ATX board, a large air CPU cooler, and 2 RTX2080's 3.5" bays for 2 SATA SSD's mounted in heatsinks. 6 Case fans.

Most Critical Review

Bad mainboard from new, Less than thrilling repair service from Asus

ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG48UQ Gaming Monitor - 47.5" 4K, OLED, 138Hz (Overclocked), 0.1 ms (GTG), G-SYNC Compatible, Custom Heatsink, 98% DCI-P3, True 10-bit, HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4

Pros: Nice picture quality. Has a nice appearance

Cons: My monitor had a problem where the picture would become corrupted with fine lines then degrade to a total loss of video. Since it was just one component in an entirely new system, it was difficult to identify the the source of this failure. Once the issue was determined to be the monitor, [It was too late to return it to Newegg] I contacted Asus for it to be repaired under warranty. It cost $90 to pack and ship it back and once the monitor was repaired it returned with damage to the rear cover which is now warped and does not sit flush with the back of the screen. [It looks like cr*p] The reason to give it 2 eggs is due to the great picture quality when it works.

Overall Review: I would recommend it based on the probability that my bad experience was unique. I have owned several Asus products and have had no issues until this particular problem.

Aorus at its best!

GIGABYTE Z790 AORUS XTREME X LGA 1700(14th,13th,12th Gen) Intel Z790 X EATX Motherboard with DDR5, 5 M.2, PCIe 5.0, USB 3.2 Type-C, Wi-Fi 7, 10GbE LAN, Q-Flash Plus, EZ-Latch Plus

Pros: Tons of features and top performance. It looks as good as it performs. A huge performance jump from my Aorus Gaming 9 [X299, 990X] system.]

Cons: There is not much to dislike with the exception of the price. Time will tell if buying was the right decision. [I usually keep my systems for many years] This MB replaced a Aorus gaming 9 X299 that has served my needs since 2015.

Overall Review: I would recommend it, I would buy it again.

Very nice monitor.

SAMSUNG Odyssey OLED G9 QHD 2K 1440P 240Hz AMD FreeSync Premium Pro & G-SYNC Compatible 0.03ms HDR400 Built-in Speaker Smart Curved Gaming Computer Monitor Height Adjustable Stand LS49CG954SNXZA

Pros: Beautiful picture with no defects that I can see.

Cons: Maybe a few too many 'features' for what I am using it for. [A PC monitor] This is very much a 'smart TV' with loads of streaming features.

Overall Review: Definitely recommended for gaming. Using a 'scaling mod' for Fallout4 that correctly fits the game into the ultra-wide screen resolution has excellent results. This monitor and a new faster system has replaced my previous ROG 34" widescreen.

Fast DDR-5 memory

G.SKILL Trident Z5 RGB Series 48GB (2 x 24GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 8400 (PC5 67200) Desktop Memory Model F5-8400J4052G24GX2-TZ5RK

Pros: Faster than my CPU can handle. Works as it should

Cons: none

Overall Review: Nice fast RAM. Modules look nice in my case.

Excellent CPU

Intel Core i9-13900KS - Core i9 13th Gen Raptor Lake 24-Core (8P+16E) 3.2 GHz LGA 1700 - Intel UHD Graphics 770 - Unlocked Desktop Processor - BX8071513900KS

Pros: Stable and very fast. Runs cooler that 14900K

Cons: It lacks many tuning features that are enabled in the 14 gen CPU's, but the overall performance difference is minimal.

Overall Review: I would recommend this processor due to the greater stability than the next gen.

Nice POST speaker

Put a dab of epoxy on the back of the speaker to keep the wires from breaking off at the solder joint. These work as they should.

I returned the unopened package due to a newer model being introduced by the manufacturer

I have no issues with the seller. I returned the cooler only due to the manufacturer coming out with a newer version of the D-15H cooler. I never even opened the shipping box, just simply replaced the label with the return label. Newegg makes the process easy.
