Chip is great

Intel Core i5-11400 - Core i5 11th Gen Rocket Lake 6-Core 2.6 GHz LGA 1200 65W Intel UHD Graphics 730 Desktop CPU Processor - BX8070811400
Intel Core i5-11400 - Core i5 11th Gen Rocket Lake 6-Core 2.6 GHz LGA 1200 65W Intel UHD Graphics 730 Desktop CPU Processor - BX8070811400

Pros: Chip is great, Overkill for my application.

Cons: Stock Intel coolers are trash. They never seat properly with the push pin design. Stock cooler runs at 49-60c Idle and its firmly placed on my Cpu. But is it? Its fairly evident when i remove the stock cooler that the thermal paste presses over to one side. Why does Intel make a high tech CPU and pair it with a Stone Age Cooler from the Flintstones ?

Overall Review: 5 stars regardless

Most Critical Review

Pros: Perfect for 13-19" monitors

Cons: Won't hold up my 24" Dell So an Empty EVGA Power Supply Box holds my Monitor up

Overall Review: Doesn't matter how many clicks you Adjust it......30 seconds later Slump

BOOM SHAKALAKA !!!

ZOTAC GAMING GeForce RTX 5070 Ti APOCALYPSE OC DLSS 4 16GB GDDR7 256-bit 28 Gbps PCIE 5.0 Gaming Graphics Card, IceStorm 3.0 Advanced Cooling, SPECTRA 2.0 ARGB Lighting, ZT-B50710C-10P

Pros: Initially I bought a 9070 XT and that was my worst Newegg purchase ever. AMD was an Abysmal Disappointment. I was Stricken with poor performance and Extreme Coil Whine right out the Box. It almost felt like I bought a Counterfeit Ali Express GPU. Returned it and Ordered this. Game Changer.

Overall Review: I can see myself keeping this gpu, Oh Yeah Newegg, them 9070 xt's ain't right.

Really Nice Board

Pros: I like how this board worked out for my build. It is very impressive. Glad this doesn't have Display port or HDMI on the back panel. I have no need for integrated graphics nor their ports. Delete your Drivers and swap video cards out. Why you need IG ? I also don't need wifi but it comes with it. I recommend that you upgrade the bios as soon as you can, Initially it sounded like a Manual Cash Register during the Windows Updates. Loud Bangs, Clicks, and thuds during the Restarts. It added to the Theater of Building. After all the driver updates it's smooth as butter. The Bios is the most user friendly I've ever seen from the Byte people. I'm investigating all the new settings i've never had before. Heavyweight Board and does not feel flimsy. My Boot times were insanely quick due to the dual pcie 5.0 m.2 slots, so quick i disabled the memory fast boot feature just so i feel old school and trying to hide the shame of spending 3k in other parts and components. QUICK Glad i bought much DDR5 before the Great Ram Inflation ! Boo

Cons: None

Overall Review: I would definitely recommend this board to others.

This hen only gives 4 Eggs

EVGA SuperNOVA 1600 P2 220-P2-1600-X1 80+ PLATINUM 1600W Fully Modular EVGA ECO Mode Includes FREE Power On Self Tester Power Supply
EVGA SuperNOVA 1600 P2 220-P2-1600-X1 80+ PLATINUM 1600W Fully Modular EVGA ECO Mode Includes FREE Power On Self Tester Power Supply

Pros: Overall Great EVGA PSU. Powers 3 x RTX 3080's. Its nicer than my G+ Supernova, It's heavier and runs much cooler + it's more Efficient. I have no complaints other than.....

Cons: All of the PCIE cables are 8 x 8 + 6 pin. Whoa, no 8 x 2 (8) pin cables anymore. The RTX 2070's are all gone from my pc's. What in the world am i going to do with 8 x 8 + 6 pin PCIE Cables ? I had to spend an additional 50 Bucks on Amazonia for 16awg PCIE dual 8 Cables. Major Disappointment. Therefor my hen took away an Egg but she really needed to take 2 Eggs for that Bummer.

Overall Review: All in all I would buy it again if it's on sale. Factor in spending another 50 Bucks
