Pros: - Beautiful looking - Perfect tint to allow some light through but dark enough to hide what you don't want to show off - Quiet even with all the fans on - USB 3 and USB 2 ports on top. You can never have enough IMO. - Cable management design (more below) - Magnetic mesh covers for easy removal and cleaning - PLENTY of room for water cooling - Lots of room for long graphics cards - All drives and PSU are hidden from the primary viewing side (left side)

Cons: - Heavy (glass, obviously) - Some of the area around the PSU can be tight when dealing with larger than standard power supplies (1200 W PSU in my case)

Overall Review: I have to give up to Rosewill. This is a beautifully made case. Well built. Sturdy. Lots of extra screws. While a bit on the heavy side, and understandably so since it's made of glass, it really does scream room center piece. It looks beautiful next to my desk and while it's not perfect, it's pretty darn close. I saw that someone say this supports E ATX. I'm not really sure how that's possible given that I put in a standard ATX motherboard and it literally barely fits with less than a few millimeters of space between it and the PSU shroud. Something to keep in mind. There is plenty of room for water cooling so no concerns there. The shroud for cable management on the front of the motherboard is a nice touch and since it's removable makes it easy to get everything in place before placing it over everything for a nice clean look. In my opinion, the tint on this is perfect. It's dark enough that you can't see wires or parts of the case that you don't want to see but lets out enough light that you can see a pleasant glow from the inside. Very nice. All in all this is a beautiful case. Some minor drawbacks but if someone I know is looking for a case that looks great, has plenty of room, and doesn't quite break the bank (although not exactly cheap), this would be on a very short list.

Pros: - Clean Board - Nice packaging - RGB lighting is nice and works well - At stock settings, performs well - Plenty of connectivity options

Cons: - BIOS needs some work. A couple of typos that would have been meant for the Intel side of things (referring to K series processors) - Overclocking is a joke. No way to adjust voltages for proper overclocking ie VCORE. You can do offsets but this is hardly the same thing. - Very limited BIOS options compared to others

Overall Review: Tests were with Ryzen 1700X, Corsiar 3000 DDR4 LPX 2x8GB sticks. F2 BIOS. At stock settings everything ran just fine. The issues I had were related to overclocking. Not only does this board not have the ability to change VCORE voltage in BIOS version F2, but even using Ryzen Master I was unable to achieve any overclock AT ALL. The moment I'd adjust the voltage to 1.35 or 1.4 V even at 3.7 GHz, the board hard froze with a black screen and only a BIOS reset would bring it back. At one point the Dual BIOS backup BIOS kicked in and I had to reflash the BIOS back to F2. I guess that's a good thing as it worked as designed, but still was rather odd behavior for a simple overclock from within Windows. Needless to say that I'm very disappointed that an X series motherboard can't do even the most basic overclocks. Looking around online I was not alone. I also saw some settings that referred to K series processors so I think some copying and pasting is going on here between the Intel boards and these. If you plan to use the system at stock settings, then you should be fine. I ran several stress tests and ran a 4K encode using Handbrake and everything went well. I think most of these issues can be fixed in further BIOS releases but until then, you might want to wait or at least be aware of what you are getting or run at stock settings. If that's all you're planning on doing, then I don't have a problem recommending this board, but for a board with this chipset I expected a little more.

Pros: - Excellent gaming performance - Decent battery life for a gaming laptop - Fast refresh screen - Nice touchpad - Compact charger - No pre-installed bloatware!

Cons: - Single-zone RGB keyboard - Screen has some noticeable backlight in dark situations - Some minor keyboard flex, but really not that bad compared to others - Power cord is on the middle side rather than towards the back - Power cord would be better if it was 90 degrees--it is easy to bump since it sticks out - Power cord is short--would like to see it be a few feet longer

Overall Review: Even though this laptop isnt perfect, it gets a lot of things right. I wouldnt call it light or thin, but for a 16-inch plastic gaming laptop, it does pretty well. The cooling system is solid and keeps performance steady, though the fans do get loud under full load. Its not a big issue if youre wearing headphonesyou can still enjoy a gaming sessionbut it is a bit loud if youre relying on the speakers alone. Speaking of which, the speakers are just okay, which is pretty typical for PC laptops in general. All of that said, where this laptop really gets it right is where it counts: performance. In the screenshot above, you can see Marvel Rivals running at nearly an 80 FPS average with everything maxed out and DLSS set to Quality. Turning the settings down pushes performance even higher and easily hits the displays refresh rate. Cyberpunk defaulted to Ray Tracing Ultra with DLSS enabled and ran beautifullyno gimmicky frame generation needed. I also tested Baldurs Gate 3, which is a very CPU-demanding title, and it performed excellently as well. Bottom line: this laptop will play anything you throw at it. Add in the included 32 GB of RAM (which feels like a small fortune these days), the 1 TB SSD, and the high-refresh-rate display, and its a great system to game on. Its not perfectbut it doesnt have to be to be great.

Pros: - Speeds as advertised - Really solid queue depth 1 performance--I've seen lots of drives struggle here - Good price

Cons: - None

Overall Review: The first picture showing 7000+ reads and 6000+ writes is the P310 drive while the other is a Crucial P3 Plus drive. Really nice drive. Cloned the OS drive (SATA SSD) of my wife's computer and still achieved great performance with the drive about half full. My wife says everything feels snappier and Windows boots quickly. I was honestly mostly shocked with just how small/minimalist this drive is from a chip standpoint. It's really light on the PCB clutter and I feel like the drive shouldn't perform as well as it does given that it's probably missing all sorts of caching chips and the like. Very impressive. My P3 Plus is no slouch, but that does come with QLC NAND so I wasn't surprised to see the performance be a bit worse (plus that drive is 75% full). Really satisfied with the drive and I would absolutely keep this on my short list of devices to pick from.

Pros: - Excellent thermals - Build quality is premium - Easy to follow instructions - AMOLED screen is GORGEOUS - Once properly tuned, fans can be quiet (see below)

Cons: - Noisy VRM fan (see below)

Overall Review: Honestly? I'm blown away. Everything about the product feels premium from the packaging to the gorgeous, and I mean, GORGEOUS screen to the cooling capabilities. For reference, I am using a Lian Li Dynamic Evo case (in white) with an AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D and an nVidia RTX 3080 Ti. I was impressed by the cooling of the Tryx AIO. The caveat there is that the Tryx cooler VRM fan is extremely annoying out of the box. It's not what I'd call "quiet" as it has an annoyingly pitched sound, though not exactly "loud" either. It's maybe just the frequency of that fan. That said, I was, with software, able to get it somewhat under control, but not completely. Sometimes the software would insist that the fan run at full speed despite me setting a manual fan curve or choosing a pre-loaded option. Not the end of the world, but that was a bit disappointing. The rest of the fans were ok on sound, but I still prefer a more silent setup so I opted for a quieter manual fan curve in the BIOS. After that, it was pretty great. Even at lower fan speeds it cooled well. Testing with CPU only loads such as cinemark for 10 minute runs, showed this cooler has the chops to hold up to that specific workload, while in real world gaming scenarios it was more than ok. Temps hovered in the low to mid 70s on load which matched my air cooler which was slightly more audible and doesn't have the amazing screen! Oh yes the screen...back to that lovely piece of tech. The software to run it was pretty clean and, for the most part, easy to use. I wish the interface was a bit more obvious to switch aspect ratios in the settings in order to select things from my media library (otherwise they just appeared to be blocked with no explanation), but once I figured that out I was off to the races. All in all, very happy, other than the VRM fan thing. Reading around on forums/google it seems like this is really the only complaint people have about it other than the price. Yes, it's expensive, but it's in a class of its own and I don't mind the price as you get what you pay for. Everything and I mean everything feels premium. Kudos to Tryx for such a great looking AND great performing product!

Pros: - Very snappy - Compact package and design - Pre-formated with only 4 links to Crucial sites and no bloatware

Cons: - None

Overall Review: The price, the weight, the size, and the performance are all excellent. I honestly can't think of anything to say negatively about it. Speeds are exactly the same as the Pro in a plastic finish and a shorter warranty. If that matters to you, the Pro is right there. Compared to NVMe drives at the 2 tb capacity that is of any decent quality, you'll spend a little bit less, but would still have to purchase an external enclosure etc. This checks all the boxes and is a fantastic portable drive to take anywhere you go. Highly recommend.
