Most Critical Review

It died on me in less then two months

ASRock Z590 Phantom Gaming 4 LGA 1200 Intel Z590 ATX Intel Motherboard
ASRock Z590 Phantom Gaming 4 LGA 1200 Intel Z590 ATX Intel Motherboard

Cons: Never had a motherboard die on me so not really sure what to do and what asrock coverage or warranty is. I came literally came home and computer is just dead wont turn on, tried clearing cmos/bios replaced CMOS battery, different power supply, reseated ram, tried different ram. Hell I tried a different case just to be sure the power button wasnt at fault... nothing would even make it post and theres no debug lights or anything even if it could get power. It seems like its a paper weight now I wasnt even using it to over clock or anything special. Just died on itself after barely two months. T

Overall Review: Not having a good time with asrock in general. I hope theres some form or replacement or warranty, unclear to me how to handle this

My go to windows boot drive

Intel Optane SSD P1600X SSDPEK1A118GA01 M.2 2280 118GB PCIe 3.0 x4, NVMe 3D XPoint Enterprise Solid State Disk
Intel Optane SSD P1600X SSDPEK1A118GA01 M.2 2280 118GB PCIe 3.0 x4, NVMe 3D XPoint Enterprise Solid State Disk

Pros: Small fast good size. Map my other important stuff to other drives and there way if I have to reimage I dont lose everything necessary

Cons: I wish Intel was more open with this tech and had larger offerings as well a gen 4. Ive been jumping into Intel cas which I had no idea existed and yeah the whole optane branding has me a bit of a headscratcher

Overall Review: I would love to know if using this on AMD processors is any different ... I mean it says optane on the back but its not traditional optane memory etc

This was and still is an awful product

Corsair Hydro Series, iCUE H100i ELITE CAPELLIX, 240mm Radiator, Dual ML120 RGB PWM Fans, Powerful iCUE Software, Liquid CPU Cooler LGA 1700 Compatible
Corsair Hydro Series, iCUE H100i ELITE CAPELLIX, 240mm Radiator, Dual ML120 RGB PWM Fans, Powerful iCUE Software, Liquid CPU Cooler LGA 1700 Compatible

Pros: Its doing something ?

Cons: Random pump failure like 40 days in

Overall Review: It literally stopped letting me doing anything in icue software because it says pump error. On their forums theres so many similar reports and support doesnt have respond. Ive tried everything but the funny thing is its been months and after I Reinhart my computer and didnt install their software it still keeps my thermals great but pretty sure my fans are all full blast because, I believe everyones issues mainly stem Fromm the commander pro that was exclusive to this I made a backup of my computer and tried the other day to put their software back up and then pump doesnt show up now but the commander pro does which is not supposed to happen. Basically im afraid to debug it anymore because its doing something for thermals?

Stay the hell away from this monitor

MSI Optix G32CQ4 32" (Actual size 31.5") WQHD 2560 x 1440 (2K) 1ms (MPRT) 165Hz 2 x HDMI, DisplayPort AMD FreeSync Curved Gaming Monitor
MSI Optix G32CQ4 32" (Actual size 31.5") WQHD 2560 x 1440 (2K) 1ms (MPRT) 165Hz 2 x HDMI, DisplayPort AMD FreeSync Curved Gaming Monitor

Pros: It seemed to have a nice set of features and for the price point seemed no brainer

Cons: I cannot get in contact with MsI at all on first why I havent been able to register one of them for months...(I have two of these) And secondly this product clearly was put on a faulty stand design that cannot not support just the weight but adjusting the angle ether. It will tip and buckle forwards under its size and weight without even being touched. Now it seems like its hard to even find this model on their site like its been discontinued Luckily the one I did register ... that fell where I wasnt even near it and smashed itself under the terrible stand design. Like the stand is not level at the back. Theres not even enough friction on the pads they this thing can side off a desk which is ridiculous because of how huge the legs are. I will fight this to the end of time that my smashed monitor is not if they say its physical damage because because I can even show videos of if u tilt it as designed its So heavy a gust of wind will topple it smashing forward. No if parts fell of their faulty motherboards or slipped from Pcie slots on their own would they say oh its physical damage ? DONT BUY ANYTHING With this stand design especially one as heavy as this Ill be calling msi support because all I get online is server error and time ours for so long to try and talk to someone and unless this can show me the QA testing done on this. When it comes to consumer rights I will fight this with a lawyer if I have to

Overall Review: Love msi but what were you thinking with the weight of this thing and obtrusive stands
