Pros: It Posted with no issues. It OCs well and the vrms stay very cool. It also has all the important features without any of the bling which is a bonus for me.

Cons: The is a strange issue where if you put your computer to sleep and wake it back up you get a cpu debug light and it wont turn on until you restart the computer. Also, there is no option in BIOS to disable the E cores.

Overall Review: This motherboard has a great vrm, great feature set, and no RGB which is a bonus for me.

Pros: Good hardware Great Bios layout and features Have the VR out features for overlockers easy gpu latch

Cons: just not stable for me my pcie 3 ssd doesn't work on this board for some reason. IF you set xmp expect some crazy high voltages

Overall Review: I have been using this board with a 12900k for a few days and the stability is all over the place even at stock. Seems to be a fun board to play on but for actual use I don't think its a good pick.

Pros: -Low power vs the previous generations -Both great gaming and multicore performance -Plenty of IO -Doesn't kill itself like raptor lake -Very tame voltages -Super responsive even vs raptor lake which on paper these should be about the same. -iGPU have av1 encoding so frees my actual gpu for other stuff -Stable and no strange bugs or issues

Cons: -slightly overpriced 350 is still a solid price and good value but at the msrp of 300 this cpu is a no brainer. -On a dead platform with no more cpus coming

Overall Review: TLDR: This chip is basically a 14900k without all the headaches and much lower power draw and much more tame voltages while also being a lot more responsive in day to day use.

Pros: -Stable -Plug and Play -great compatibility -good IO -easy to use bios -all m.2 slots cant be used without taking lanes from your GPU

Cons: Only real downside is for overlockers and doesn't seem to play super nice out of box with Samsung ddr5 which can be worked around by just setting xmp and raising the vdd2 voltage to 1.35 (which is perfectly safe)

Overall Review: This board has basically everything you could ever want with no real draw backs except for nothing have VR out for overlockers. If you need a great board that is feature rich and reliable I dont see any other reason to chose this board over other brands.

Pros: -NO RGB -Does really well on intel current CPUs -easy installation

Cons: I don't like how the fans connect together as it always leaves a little but of wire sticking out and can get in the way for smaller cases. I also find the water block a little too bug which can be a headache in smaller cases and when installing the thumb screws on the water block.

Overall Review: Overall an amazing cooler at a good price with a 5 year warranty and no RGB. Performs great on my 12900k maxes out at 80c

Pros: -Easy to build in -Modular -Great fans included and phenomenal air flow -screws come in a organizer -Comes with an integrated fan hub and is already wired in a smart way for you -RGB Fans look great and uniform

Cons: -Doesn't include dust filter( Have to buy it separately) -Even with a dust filter it gets very dusty

Overall Review: This is easily one of the best cases out there at an affordable price. As it has no real downsides and has amazing airflow and very good hardware support.
