Amazing Case!
Pros: This is one of the best cases on the market right now (IMO). First off, it's well built and has a ton of features. Very elegant and minimal design. Plenty of room for the largest GPU, PSU, and liquid coolers available. Lots of (removable) hard drive bays. Excellent cable management. Easy to access front and bottom dust screens. And a built in fan controller to top it all off.
Cons: I have nothing negative to say about this case. It's simply amazing. One minimal issue I ran into was one of the snap-latches for the front dust-cover would not latch. I emailed Fractal Design's Customer Service and received a reply the same day, and received replacement parts the same week. Quality product, backed by quality customer service!
Overall Review: One thing to note, is that you do not need a modular power supply to remove/hide unnecessary cables from view with this case. I mean, to each their own - but if you are worried about cable management, there is plenty of room on the other side of the case behind the motherboard tray to hide A LOT of cables.
Incredibly fast, low latency memory.
Pros: - Super fast, low latency - Optimized for Ryzen 3000 - XMP works with no issues - Confirmed Samsung b-die
Cons: - Price, but it is what it is
Overall Review: Running this memory with a 3900X in an Aorus X570 i Pro Wifi board (F4 (8/29/19) BIOS and Chipset driver v1.8.19.0915) and Infinity Fabric set 1:1 with memory (1800MHz). In AIDA64 I am getting 56500 MB/s Read, 54600 MB/s Write, 58400 MB/s Copy, and around 66ns latency. With UserBenchmark I get 46.9 GB/s MC, 32.5 GB/s SC, and 62ns latency with an overall rating of 126%. I fine tuned the timings a little tighter than default XMP values with a slight bump in voltage (tRAS=30, tRC=45, tRFC=288, tCKE=6, ProcODT=34.3, 1.428v). Thaiphoon states that these are Samsung b-die modules. I had too many memtest errors when trying to downclock 4000C17 b-die to 3600C14 but these just get the job done out of the box.
Super bright and Sata power!
Pros: Bright Magnetic Sata power!
Cons: None!
Corsair 760w
Pros: - Seasonic Made - Full Modular - Platinum Rating - Haswell Ready - SLI/Crossfire - Silent Fans - Looks Great
Cons: No complaints
Super Bright!
Pros: Bright! Provides excellent pure-white lighting to your case.
Cons: Not really a con, but again, this thing is bright! I might even wrap it in electrical tape to dim it.
Overall Review: One of these is enough, even on a large case. Don't over do it, or you might get a tan.
Great Motherboard!
Pros: Quality motherboard with a sleek look and some excellent features.
Cons: None. Has been running stable since first booting it.
Overall Review: I paired this board with the FX8350 and have no issues to date. I have read mixed reviews about OC'ing on this board/CPU, but I don't have current plans to do so, so not a con for me.
