Pros: - Simple and clean aesthetic - Should fit in most reasonably sized entertainment centers - Managed to fit a 3080 (GIGABYTE Gaming OC GeForce RTX 3080), just barely. - No issues with the PCIe 4.0 riser! I've had many issues with risers before, so I was happy this one worked flawlessly.

Cons: - Very limited options for CPU coolers (I used a Noctua NH-L12 Ghost S1 Edition) - Quite a bit heavier than I was hoping

Overall Review: - Best current option if you want a "console style" case - Looks great - Easy to build in - Slightly less portable than I wanted

Pros: - Ran everything I threw at it really well - Temps were very low

Cons: - Died after a little over 2 years of use, and I took very good care of this card - Pretty bulky, but I knew that before buying

Overall Review: This 3080 GPU initially blew me away with its impressive performance, handling everything I threw at it like a champ. The temps stayed ridiculously low, even during intense gaming sessions, crypto mining, or 3D modeling renders. But here's the bummer: after just over two years of careful usage, the it died on me. Overall, I'd say I used it pretty lightly. I'm disappointed I couldn't to get at least a few more years out of it.

Pros: Great I/O options, looks great

Cons: Lots of bios issues

Overall Review: I had to update the bios when I got the board, as it would not work with a ryzen 3 otherwise. Worked reasonably well after that. I had some minor issues with ram running on their XMP profiles and the CPU idling high. Recently, I went through the same standard process to update the bios again in order to see if the new versions would fix my issues. It failed and bricked the board. Flashing from USB with the reset bios feature included on this board doesn't work. I have a friend with the same board and they faced similar issues. Beware the bios updates!

Pros: -All-round powerful machine -Can run all games at max settings -Feels very sturdy -Nice to have a USB C port

Cons: -Way bigger than the images make it appear -Runs very hot -Slight power drain under heavy loads

Overall Review: The laptop is about twice as thick as the images make it appear. Not a huge problem, but I feel a bit deceived. Given the high temps (well over 80C) while gaming and the slight power drain issue, I wish I had gone with the 1060 version. The 1060 shouldn't have either of these issues and should still be able to run every game currently out at max.
