Fantastic Future Ready ROG MoBo

ASUS ROG STRIX B850-A GAMING WIFI AMD AM5 B850 ATX motherboard 14+2+2 power stages, DDR5 AEMP, 2.5G LAN, WiFi 7 with Q-Antenna, 4x M.2, PCIe 5.0, USB 20Gbps Type-C, AI Networking II, ASUS AI Advisor
ASUS ROG STRIX B850-A GAMING WIFI AMD AM5 B850 ATX motherboard 14+2+2 power stages, DDR5 AEMP, 2.5G LAN, WiFi 7 with Q-Antenna, 4x M.2, PCIe 5.0, USB 20Gbps Type-C, AI Networking II, ASUS AI Advisor

Pros: Excellent design, feel of the whole board. Feels super premium, and works like a charm!

Cons: No real cons...I sometimes wonder if I should've gotten the black variant...but that's a me issue.

Overall Review: This board has been fantastic in my AM5 build. I've paired it with a Ryzen 5 9600X and Corsair DDR5 32gb RAMeverything runs smooth and stable, no issues at all. Setup was easy, BIOS was user-friendly, just did a recent update and all good. Overall imo I think it looks awesome with its white/silver design and ROG ROG on the corner. Other notes: WiFi 6E and 2.5Gb LAN are great out of the box, and it supports PCIe 5.0 and DDR5, so its ready for the future. A bit pricier than most B-series boards but I trust Asus, and got a great deal with the free Corsair RAM bundled indefinitely worth it for the quality. Only downside is no USB4 or Thunderbolt, but not a dealbreaker.

Most Critical Review

Solid remote but looks like it was repackaged, not brand new

PlayStation DualSense Wireless Controller – Volcanic Red

Pros: Cosmic Red finish is a nice change, looks sleek. Its a PS5 DualSense, has premium feel/play!

Cons: Packaging looked off, box was torn and looked like it was tampered with, came in a non-PS wrapping in box. I assume it was returned, but still new. Disappointed but the remote works just fine and got it on sale for $55 which stated no returns (bummer, but I still dont think it was brand new, certainly repackaged).

Overall Review: Its a PS5 remote, works well and performs how it should. The Cosmic Red color is cool. Looks like Newegg repackaged it in a torn ps5 box, so that was disappointing as I was under the impression it was brand new.

Easy and nice aesthetic add!

Pros: Easy to install and gives a nice vibrant glow. Works well with Lian Li Uni hub or you can connect directly to motherboard. Colors are vibrant, great add on for a good price. Its almost double to buy these elsewhere.

Cons: overall no issues...wish the lighting was same as SL-INF fans but I get its a different variation...not really a negative

Overall Review: Bought these for my Hydroshift 360 S AIO as they did not come with ARGB. This completely transforms the look of the AIO and I am so glad I found this product. I would recommend this if you are trying to add some extra glow/rgb and want to be able to customize the fans on AIO

Does the job!

Overall Review: This monitor looks amazing. The OLED makes blacks super deep and everything looks sharp and smooth. 240Hz at 1440p is amazing for gaming. Colors pop, HDR is solid, and it's been a huge upgrade from my old old IPS monitor. Comes with HDMI and Display Port cables, and you can download Acers on screen widget to control the OSD. Flagship level monitor at a decent price!

Overall Review: They run fast, stays cool, and adds great RGB flair. Punches well above its price class. Great speed and aesthetics, even better when its free, got it as a bundle with my Rog Strix Motherboard on Newegg!
