Pros: Hardware works great. Keeps the CPU cool with my i9.

Cons: Software a bit buggy. Ended up uninstalling the entire gigabyte software suites and just installing the the Waterforce X software which is also compatible with my gigabyte Aorus RGB motherboard and Kingston Fury RGB ram. Also, I noticed the Screen freezes on a warm boot, but boots fine with a cold boot. Tried firmware update to 1.6 but did not solve this issue.

Overall Review: Once you get past the software quirks, the hardware works great.

Pros: Fast memory that works at 3200

Cons: Could not get working at 3600

Overall Review: I wish I checked the reviews on this before ordering. Memory works at 3600, but no matter how much I adjusted the voltage, timing, etc. I could not get it to run at 3600 on a ASRock B550 Phantom Gaming 4/ac AM4 . Reviews from others have tried with other boards as well.

Pros: Solid motherboard with i9 and DDR5 compatibility.

Cons: Initially I was impressed with the automatic Windows 11 driver downloads for the motherboard and RGB software, which was compatible with the Gigabyte Aorus Waterforce X and Kingston Fury RGB RAM. However, the RGB Software is a bit buggy. After much frustration and crashing, I uninstalled the App Center software, Gigabyte RGB, and Kingston RGB software I then installed only the Gigabyte AIO RGB software standalone that was downloaded from the Waterforce X page. It ran all 3 RGB devices with the one application with the least issues, but I eventually got it to work.

Overall Review: In the end it did want I wanted: Run the RGB Ram, i9, DDR 5 4800, m.2, and RTX 3070 FE

Pros: Nice look, good cable management, expandable

Cons: The 2 x 3.5” hard drive trays are difficult to access once everything is installed.

Overall Review: This was my sons build, and the design of the case made it easy to conceal of of the wiring inside the side panel. He later wanted to add a 3.5” hard drive, and we discovered that you need to flip the case upside down to remove the tray, and possibly remove the power supply to access. Overall we are happy with the purchase.

Pros: It’s windows and it works

Cons: They need to stop all of the bloat ware apps and forced telemetry issues

Overall Review: It’s windows.

Pros: CPU is fast, fan is quiet , default thermal paste sufficient.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I have always been an Intel fan after some issues 20 years ago, but my son wanted to build an AMD rig. It was time to give them another chance, and I was impressed. The speed rivals i5 processors, and compatibility with PCIe gen 4 was a win for me.
