ryzen 3800x Msi Unify board and a scythe mugan rev b

EVGA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER XC ULTRA+ Video Card, OVERCLOCKED, 2.75-Slot Extreme Cool Dual, 70C Gaming, RGB, Metal Backplate, 08G-P4-3175-KR, 8GB 15.5 GHz GDDR6

Pros: Works like you would expect for the money..........very well. Card left me with probably three inches to spare. However.......I have a very large case. Card seems to be very well made. If you don't have a board with reinforced slot......find a way to brace it........it is very heavy. Only time I heard fans really spin up was with first couple of boots......as a rule.......silent. I was concerned about coil whine and clicks I had read about.........I have neither. Works flawlessly......I use geforce for drivers so I don't have to do much.

Cons: None so far......I was going to get a sapphire 5700xt. Fact is......I just want my gear to work with no extra steps. Correction.......the only issue I had was in installing. I set it in the slot and had to work it a little to get the holes lined up to screw it down........very little.

Overall Review: My only concern was if I ran into coil whine/clicking. I won the lottery with that. Other draw back was price........got it on black friday.

Pros: Came quick and running just like it should. Msi Unify picked it right up.......and after hitting xmp runs at advertised speeds

Overall Review: Yes..........I would buy again and recommend.

Msi Unify 3800x Rtx 2070S Ultra+

MSI MEG X570 UNIFY AM4 AMD X570 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: It's heavy.........No plastic. Booted first time with zero issues.

Cons: Not sure if this is a con or not. I put cpu in and ram. Then I put in the two 970 evos. All this went well. Then I went to button it down........everything was fine til I got to screw no 9. It sits under the heatsink for the m.2 next to the cpu. So in order for me to put that screw in I now have to take the heatsink back off........and potentially ruin my thermal tape. Then looking thru the book for the motherboard it shows NOT using the middle screw. Still not sure what to do about this.

Overall Review: At first I looked at reviews of the board.........the only complaint was with the amount of satas. Didn't pay attention to that.......Yup......I used them all.
