Most Favorable Review

Pretty solid Micro ATX motherboard paired with an 12700k

MSI MAG B660M MORTAR WIFI DDR4 LGA 1700 Intel B660 SATA 6Gb/s Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
MSI MAG B660M MORTAR WIFI DDR4 LGA 1700 Intel B660 SATA 6Gb/s Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: - Micro ATX with decent VRMs - Decent VRM heatsinks - Price (at least for me one of the few micro atx with all the things i needed) - DDR4, with how the DDR5 pricing and availability is. - Great bios fan control, easy to setup with 4 breakpoints, simply works well. - HDMI n DP outputs on the mobo.

Cons: - Only 4 fan headers, probably enough for most, but the B550 had 5, i wish this one had one more at least. - Back of the motherboard was sticky, probably not well inspected from the assembly line, although nothing bad came out of this outside handling it. - CHA_FAN1 position is a little awkward, I would have liked on the edge of the motherboard instead of being beside the m.2 slot.

Overall Review: Micro ATX seems to be losing options each gen, we don't get much options, very few on Z690, so this motherboard fill all my requirements an d cheaper than Z690, overall its a very solid board for anyone wanting to build on micro atx, paired with 12700k is running really well, no issues to report all very stable on win11.

A great buy

Pros: - The first 32'' 3820x2160 144ghz with 10bit, colors look great. - Adaptive sync works great with 6900xt, super smooth - No dead pixels - Very little backlight bleed. - Very low ips glow - HDMI 2.1, great for PS5 owners - Vesa 100x100 compatible

Cons: - HDR400, i wish it was higher, but not a big deal. - Base takes considerable desk space, i move mine to ergotron LX.

Overall Review: Overall its the best monitor i have used ever, specially while gaming, APEX n Warzone look so nice and smooth at 4k@144fps +10bit color.

Solid SSD, not worth the PRO tag, should have been EVO

SAMSUNG 980 PRO SSD 2TB, PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280, Speeds Up-to 6,400MB/s Best for High End Computing, Gaming, and Heavy Duty Workstations (MZV8P2T0B/AM)
SAMSUNG 980 PRO SSD 2TB, PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280, Speeds Up-to 6,400MB/s Best for High End Computing, Gaming, and Heavy Duty Workstations (MZV8P2T0B/AM)

Pros: - Fast- Reliable- Single Side- Decent operational temperature (below 50c)

Cons: - Not MLC, PROs have been always used MLC NAND, while EVOs have been TLC/SLC cache- Doesn't work with Samsung NVME driver, as the past releases (960Pro & 970Pro)- No 4TB version (Sabrent has one, just dual side)

Overall Review: Overall its imo the best all around PCIe 4.0 NVME drive on the market, Sabrent Rocket Plus has a very good offering, but it seems to have some issue with endurance, and WD 850 seems a slightly faster drive, but runs 10C higher. Benchmarks place this as a very fast drive, and with x570/B550 you are set, price wise its not as expensive as the old PROs, its more in line with the EVOs initial release pricing... again baffles me why this is called a PRO instead of an EVO.

Good stacking hard drive cage

Phanteks PH-HDDKT_03 Stackable 3.5" HDD Bracket
Phanteks PH-HDDKT_03 Stackable 3.5" HDD Bracket

Pros: I bought it for stacking 4 extra hard drives on a none phantek case and it work great, materials are fine for the price, and works great.

Cons: Steel could be thicker, just nitpicking

Overall Review: Recommended for anyone looking to expand on hdd on their case, as long as they have the space.
