Pros: Knowingly did a sideways upgrade from the 7600X. On air cooling, the 7600X immediately jumped up to high 80s Celsius when stressed. I know AMD said it was designed for such, but that's just hot. With the 9600x, at 65w TDP, it does not break 68C when stressed. Same cooler, same case etc. I'm happy with it.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Recommended.

Pros: Overall build quality is superb. Designed well. Lots of grommets for cable ties. Fans look great, operate well, easy to connect all the argbs. Built in argb controller works well. No clearance problems with cpu cooler (be quiet pure rock 2 fx). Not much to say about this one, it looks fantastic, tons of air flow, and keeps things cool. A no brainer in my opinion.

Cons: Like another reviewer said, usb 3.0 connector on Gigabyte 650M Gaming Plus Wifi motherboard is difficult to attach because of the location and the size of the connector. I chose not to use it as I didn't need front usb ports.

Overall Review: Easy to recommend this for matx. Nice job Fractal. I haven't built a PC in 15 years and chose this one. Zero issues.
