Most Favorable Review

Well at Expo1

G.SKILL Flare X5 128GB (2 x 64GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 6000 (PC5 48000) Desktop Memory Model F5-6000J3444F64GX2-FX5
G.SKILL Flare X5 128GB (2 x 64GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 6000 (PC5 48000) Desktop Memory Model F5-6000J3444F64GX2-FX5

Pros: Large capacity Works with a second set of 2x64.

Cons: Couldn't get it to work with the adaptive UEFI option. Expo2 with 4 sticks would crash/freeze.

Overall Review: I paired this with a ProArt 870E motherboard and an 9950X3D. Other Expo settings other than Expo1 had problems, but this is with two sets of 2x64. Stable and quick

Most Critical Review

Worked well while it did.

Corsair Hydro Series H115i Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler, 280mm CW-9060027-WW
Corsair Hydro Series H115i Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler, 280mm CW-9060027-WW

Pros: It kept my temperatures cool with a good over clock, stock fans are pretty good, lower cost than some others on the market.

Cons: Started to get a CPU fan error on boot, double and triple checked all the connection, and changed the CPU cable to CPU_OPT and still 0 rpms reported. Temperatures start to get to 80+ while in BIOS screen. Pump seems to have failed in just under a year.

Overall Review: I had a really good experience with an H80 that lasted many years and was still working when I replaced it for a better cooling solution, was hoping this would have the same reliability as that one, but that doesn't seem to be. This issue is probably covered by warranty, but that process will take longer and more of a hassle than just ordering another one and taking the lose.

Fanboy?

Seasonic VERTEX PX-1200, 1200W 80+ Platinum, ATX 3.0&PCIe 5.0 Ready, Full-Modular, ATX Form Factor, Low Noise, Premium Japanese Capacitor, 12 Year Warranty, Nvidia RTX 30/40 Super, AMD GPU Compatible

Pros: Plenty of power. Good efficiency. Not big.

Overall Review: I got this for my new build using my now older 4080. I like that it has the new power connector direct from supply. I titled this Fanboy? because I have always had good luck with Seasonic and always seek them out.

Has what I wanted

ASUS ProArt X870E-CREATOR WIFI AMD AM5 X870E ATX Motherboard PCIe 5.0 x16 slots with full support for next-gen GPUs, 16+2+2 power stages, DDR5, dual USB4, 10 Gb & 2.5 Gb LAN, WiFi 7, four M.2 slots
ASUS ProArt X870E-CREATOR WIFI AMD AM5 X870E ATX Motherboard PCIe 5.0 x16 slots with full support for next-gen GPUs, 16+2+2 power stages, DDR5, dual USB4, 10 Gb & 2.5 Gb LAN, WiFi 7, four M.2 slots

Pros: 10G network. 2nd NIC. Works with 256GB ram.

Cons: Right now I don't have any about the motherboard.

Overall Review: I couldn't get other EXPO settings other that EXPO1 to work, but that could be more of the RAM/CPU being a problem than the Motherboard. I wanted a board with 10G NIC and this is one of few that have it. It also supports and works with 256GB ram.

No idication lights

Fractal Design Pop XL Air RGB Black TG ATX High-Airflow Clear Tempered Glass Window Full Tower Computer Case
Fractal Design Pop XL Air RGB Black TG ATX High-Airflow Clear Tempered Glass Window Full Tower Computer Case

Pros: Solid build. Easy to work in. Looks OK. Three intake fans.

Cons: No connectors for HDD, Reset for front panel.

Overall Review: I was looking for a case for my new build. I have previous build in Fractal case that I like. The only downside I have to this case is the front panel hookup only has a power button connector. I am not a glass panel person but it doesn't bother me enough no to buy one.

Works well, snappy

Pros: No problems. Snappy responses. Works with 6000MTS ram with 4x64MB sticks.

Overall Review: I paired this with ProArt 870E and 4 sticks of 64MB Flare X5. Has no problem with Expo1 settings, tried the adaptive Expo and couldn't get it to boot, tried the Expo2 settings and got crashes/freezing. It feels snappier than my 5800X3D, but haven done any benches.

Not all there

I waited a few more days to see if another package would show with the rest of the items, but as of now I have only got about half, one screw driver missing, wire stripper missing, and covers missing.
