Great aio Great value

MONTECH HyperFlow ARGB 360 - AIO CPU Liquid Cooler, Supports Intel LGA 1851/1700, AMD AM5/AM4, Enhanced 3100RPM Water Pump Design, 3X Metal Pro 12 ARGB Ultimate Cooling Fans - Black
MONTECH HyperFlow ARGB 360 - AIO CPU Liquid Cooler, Supports Intel LGA 1851/1700, AMD AM5/AM4, Enhanced 3100RPM Water Pump Design, 3X Metal Pro 12 ARGB Ultimate Cooling Fans - Black

Pros: Good cooling for a 7800x3d, not too loud if proper fan curves are used, great value overall, pairs great with a Montech King 95 Pro case, 6 year warranty-huge factor for me picking this aio.

Cons: Those fans move alot of air and can be quite loud if proper fan curves aren't used, no special software included-this can also be a pro to some, and nitpicking here, but hoses can be quite stiff, but they did include 2 hose clamps for management.

Overall Review: Great value and keeps my 7800x3d running great and cool. My idle temps are 33c and gaming load is around 63 to 68c depending on how much cpu is utilized. Normally it's in the 50's for most gaming sessions.

Most Critical Review

Great until I noticed a defect

GIGABYTE G32QC 32" 165Hz 1440P Curved Gaming Monitor, 2560 x 1440 VA 1500R Display, 1ms(MPRT), 94% DCI-P3, VESA Display HDR400, FreeSync Premium Pro, 1x Display Port 1.2, 2x HDMI 2.0, 2x USB 3.0
GIGABYTE G32QC 32" 165Hz 1440P Curved Gaming Monitor, 2560 x 1440 VA 1500R Display, 1ms(MPRT), 94% DCI-P3, VESA Display HDR400, FreeSync Premium Pro, 1x Display Port 1.2, 2x HDMI 2.0, 2x USB 3.0

Pros: -Nice display if it's defect free -nice for a VA panel -Fast shipping from Newegg -Probably the best bang for the buck out there if you win the lottery of non-defective -no dead pixels

Cons: -Defect rate -not ips -defective models seem to have severe back light bleed and dirty spots with dead pixels -qa seems hit or miss -RMA process is pretty bad overall, very slow and hardly any updates

Overall Review: I was happy with the monitor as it checked all the boxes for me, but there is a fingernail sized dirty yellowish spot that seems to be damage to the sheets or the underscreen of the monitor itself. Be cautioned that defect rate seems to be an issue and I am going through RMA process to try and get a return. I wish I had waited before buying this.

Good stable mobo so far

ASRock X670E Steel Legend AM5 ATX Motherboard. 4xDDR5 slots, PCIE 5.0X16, AMD Cross Fire, QuadM.2 slots, Dual LAN ports 1GB and 2.5GB , WIFI-6E,7.1 HD audio, HDMI 2.1, DP 1.4 ports

Pros: -Great aesthetics -stable -works well with my Corsair Vengeance cl36 ddr5 Expo and 7800x3d -has a gpu support bracket

Cons: -Lack of digital debug display, you only have lights -no external reset of cmos, you will have to do manually -can be difficult and finicky depending on bios version, im currently running 3.06 and am stable

Overall Review: I had to wait for almost a month due to gpu RMA to try out, but I have been gaming and stress testing this weekend and have had no issues. Everyone gets a failed part every now and then, it happens. This board had everything I wanted and for a not so high price, still not cheap, but one of the better mobos in the price range.

Great gpu if not defective

ASRock Phantom Gaming Radeon RX 7900 XT 20GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 ATX Graphics Card RX7900XT PGW 20GO
ASRock Phantom Gaming Radeon RX 7900 XT 20GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 ATX Graphics Card RX7900XT PGW 20GO

Pros: -beast at 1440p with high frames and can do 4k -my unit had great temps under load, junction temp was not more than 79c with 100% load under stress testing -beautiful card

Cons: -a multitude of driver issues plagued my unit and a bad DP on the back of the gpu caused 41 errors with the default AMD drivers being reinstalled on windows 11 pro. I made sire thr group policy was updated, but because the errors were hardware related this could not be resoled. I also had to repair my adrenaline drivers daily. I updated the bios, ddu'd the drivers in safe mode, tried multiple DP cables, sent in multiple support tickets to AMD, and am finally going through RMA for a replacement. -i hope that I just had bad luck and that there aren't bad qc on these cards. -not a great look for my first AsRock gpu, I like the mobo's as I have had 2 so far, but gpu track record isn't the best for me.

Overall Review: I overall love the performance of the card and is a great value just like a 7900 GRE. If my replacement works, I'm happy with the card, but if not, I will be getting a 7900 GRE instead. Hopefully Newegg helps me out.

Great case

MONTECH, KING 95 PRO Dual-Chamber ATX Mid-Tower PC Gaming Case, High-Airflow, Toolless Panels, Sturdy Curved Tempered Glass Front, Six ARGB PWM Fan Pre-installed with Fan Hub, Black
MONTECH, KING 95 PRO Dual-Chamber ATX Mid-Tower PC Gaming Case, High-Airflow, Toolless Panels, Sturdy Curved Tempered Glass Front, Six ARGB PWM Fan Pre-installed with Fan Hub, Black

Pros: Great aesthetics, easy to build in, lots of room for large gpus, easy cable management, pro version has all fans pre-installed, and tempered glass is thick.

Cons: Width has to be accommodated depending on where the case is housed, can be slightly heavy, dust filter is removable from the rear only (wish it were the front) rgb and fan control instructions weren't super clear, but it is controllable with mobo headers, and tempered glass although beautiful, had to be handled with care.

Overall Review: This case is amazing and has been a pleasure to build in! Great shipping from Newegg and case arrived with zero damage.

Sapphire is the best Amd card maker!

SAPPHIRE NITRO+ Radeon RX 5700 XT 8GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 x16 ATX Graphics Card 100416NT+8GSR

Pros: -great value -runs everything at very good fps -1440p isn't hard to run -beautiful card -never need to repaste gpu usually, they do good work. -getting past this performance is hard to do unless you spend double, really think about that for a minute before throwing money at another company -it's team red, what's not to like!

Cons: -massive card size, I literally have 3mm of space in a meshify c with 140mm fans installed. It did work, but I had to rethink my aio placement. -don't buy this card without checking your case, seriously, you will be very upset as this card may not fit. -with this card you can forget about an aio up front, at least in a meshify c. If you have a larger case your fine I suppose. -no 3 pin rgb cable included, my aorus master came with a few, but just something to think about.

Overall Review: TLDR: fantastic value, massive card, and it's relatively a good investment for half the price of the other cards that might have some higher fps that you are never going to notice anyway.
