I recommend

Pros: I think for the price it couldnt be beat, does everything i need it to, plus it has a really good bios with mouse control, lots of overclocking adjustments that a moron could figure out.. also was shipped free in three days time
Cons: nothing yet
I would love to love this monitor

Pros: It has a beautiful picture besides the stuck green pixel
Cons: I reported this to Newegg, they told me they would take care of it, then denied me a replacement when time came to do so. I contacted Asrock finally, and awaiting their answer. This monitor is abandoned by Asrock, they haven't done any software, firmware updates since the day it was released, not one. This product is not important to them at all. It has grey zone issues, flickers during dim renders. I have been promised by Asrock tech support that it would be getting fixed, last firmware and driver release is 1/12/25, I hate this because I love Asrock, didn't expect that
Overall Review: I guess I will go get a replacement, and probably have to pay to have it shipped both ways(according to Asrock)... This monitor has kinda broken me of taking Asrock serious, they once were a good company, but they are doing what their sister company does now, ignoring customers
Very comperable

Pros: I say, for the price of this cooler, it does a great job. It is silent, the only thing it is missing is hidden wiring and a VRM fan, but for the price, it is awesome. My temps on a 14700k were peak at 85c, and that is only 2c off from an Arctic LF3 240, so that is pretty darn good if you ask me.
Cons: Only thing, I had to get creative with the wiring, little tricky to hide on this model. I recommend anyone getting this to either get some auto parts store conduit, or some heat shrink tube(what I did).
Overall Review: I think DarkRock is on to something, I am impressed with the overall build quality. I took it apart and looked at the pump housing, and the ceramic bushings they used are much better than cooler masters plastic ones. Thumbs up guys, keep it up.
Killed a sn770 with a 100% smart

Pros: Not a thing
Cons: Lets start with the cooling that is nonexistent with a thermal pad that insulates the m.2 and only hooks it to a metal sheet that is super thin, instead of the aluminum body that would actually dissipate heat. Instead the metal sheet, if the thermal insulation pad didnt already hold heat in, is designed to radiate heat from inside the housing. It took one speed test, for this pcie3 nvme western digital sn770 black drive, to croak. It had a clean bill of health and a 100% smart rating from inside the pc.
Overall Review: It will be good at creating ewaste? I dunno, I feel bad for the drive. Last report he drive gave as it tried to throttle but the housings electrical instead poured the power to it, was 113c before it sizzled and died. I tried to unplug it, but it was in vain
Good board

Pros: It has everything I needed
Cons: VRM has been downgraded for some reason, not as described but still overkill for even a 7950x
Overall Review: I like it
Awesome

Pros: I had an issue with my first monitor after a year and Newegg has been making some changes to the positive. They reached out to me to see how I was doing with my monitor via email, I told them it failed and they replaced it no questions asked. I was actually getting ready to ship it to gigabyte for repairs when they did this, much positivity needed in this industry right now
Cons: Nothing I can think of
Overall Review: Great monitor with a great picture, really bright
