Overall Review: This is my first MSI motherboard and I have to say I'm very impressed. Everything went well building the computer. I put this in a Fractal Design Define 7 case and it went smoothly. I paired the motherboard with a RYZEN 5 3600. I did not want to spend a bunch on a CPU knowing that I'm going to replace it as soon as Ryzen 4000 is out. I do not have a PCIe Gen 4.0 SSD and I was concerned that my Gen 3.0 SSD would not perform as expected. No reason to be concerned. My Samsung 970 EVO Plus is as fast as it was on my gen 3.0 board. I'm very impressed with USB speeds with the 3.2 Gen 2 IO ports and internal connectors. They are crazy fast. Huge upgrade from my previous computer. I'm getting fantastic speeds with my Corsair Flash Voyager GTX flash drive, Samsung T5 SSD, and ProGrade memory card reader. I very much appreciate that MSI put a USB 3.2 Gen 2 10Gbps Type-C Port internal connector on this motherboard. My case has a front panel Type-C port and it works fantastic with this connector. This motherboard is extremely easy to overclock. In particular I see significant gains with memory overclock. There were no issues with the layout of the board and getting my rather large Noctua NH-U14S cooler installed. Everything with this motherboard works great and I'm very pleased on how fast the computer is. I have seen a significant increase in performance with gaming as well. I came from a Core i5-7600K and I have a RTX 2060 Super.

Pros: Cheap and fast.

Cons: Card failed after about 500 pictures. I'm using Nikon D70. I lost 85 vacation photos that I did not want to lose (only 1 picture from vacation survived).

Overall Review: I was able to format card and will give another go. I'm very hesitent though...I hate losing pictures (my wife was so bummed). Even though I read reviews here before buying I wish I would have spend a bit more...even for a slower card. I wonder how many of these positive reviews happened before their card failed...Newegg had great service as always.

Pros: * Very compact. * Core Clock max is 2,850 MHz. * Excellent 1440p performance, even with ray tracing turned on. * Max temp is 65° C. * Very power efficient. * Relatively quite. * DLSS 3 and DLSS FG.

Cons: * Expensive. Probably $100 more than what it is worth. * 12 gb ram. 16 would have made it bit more future proof.

Overall Review: Very happy with this upgrade. Upgraded from a RTX 3060Ti. I'm running at 1440p and it runs all the games I have tried very smoothly and significantly faster than the 3060Ti. I'm seeing 40 - 50% faster fps with 4070 compared to 3060Ti. I have a R5 5600X and 32 gb of ram. With TLOU and 3060TI I was playing game with High preset and getting 50 - 60 fps. With the 4070 I'm able to play with ultra preset and averaging about 90 fps. Ray tracing performance is over the top at 1440p. DLSS 3 and DLSS FG are great features and makes the card a bit more future proof. It is really crazy the performance you get and how good it looks. This is really why I bought this card instead of similar priced cards from last gen from the other company.

Pros: - Easy XMP at 3600 MHz for my MSI MAG X570 Tomahawk motherboard. Have Ryzen 5 5600X. - Samsung b-die. - Tight timings. - Easy overclock. Running at 3800 MHz (16-16-16-32 at 1.42v). - Runs relatively cool. - Very stable. Even when overclocked. - Great value for the price.

Cons: - Not always in stock.

Overall Review: Very happy with this ram. I originally bought two 8 gb sticks to see how it ran. It ran awesome. I went to buy two more sticks and it was out of stock. I almost bought the inferior F4-3600C16D-16GVKC but noticed the different timings. Apparently this other version does not have the Samsung b-die memory. So glad I waited for these to come back in stock.

Pros: - Tons of room. - Takes an optical drive. - Very customizable. - Well built. - Great cable management. - Versatile cooling options. - Abundant front panel ports. - Very quite. - Great airflow. Inside of case stays very cool. - Easy to take off panels. - Type-C with fast charge support on front panel.

Cons: - Heavy - No HDD LED header. - No mesh door option.

Overall Review: Fantastic case! I'm coming from a Define R5 and there are some significant upgrades. I will never buy a case other than Fractal Design. They understand how to design cases. I put a MSI MAG X570 Tomahawk Wifi motherboard in it and everything went great. I appreciate that there is an option to put an optical drive in it. I watch blu-rays, burn blu-rays, and also burns CDs. Optical Drives are not an option on so many other cases these days. Airflow is decent with stock fans though adding a fan to top pulling out really improved it significantly. I'm using a Noctua NH-U14S cooler. I wish there was mesh door option. This would really improve airflow. I open the door while gaming. I was considering a Meshify S2 but optical drive is not an option and front panel has 2 less USB ports.

Pros: Great performance on newer games at 1440p Runs very cool while at load (max temps at 54° F and 69° F with max overclock) Very quite Zero Coil Whine Fantastic Ray Tracing performance Great performance, rendering, and image quality with DLSS 2.0 Overclocked out of the box Decent additional overclock on GPU and memory (+115 MHz on GPU, +250 MHz on memory) Amazing speeds when encoding HEVC video.

Cons: Relatively expensive.

Overall Review: Huge upgrade over my GTX 1060. I was not able to run newer games at 1440p at higher settings with the GTX 1060. Now I'm able to play newer games maxed out and they are butter smooth. I was concerned about having an older CPU (i5 7600k) but there is no issue. Ray Tracing looks fantastic. EVGA's Precision X1 software works great. I'm currently playing Doom Eternal, Modern Warfare, and Control. Control has put the most strain on this card. I'm able to play at 1440p at the highest settings with ray tracing. Without DLSS 2.0 the game is not playable maxed out at 1440p (about 35 fps). With card overclocked it is playable (about 50 fps). I actually prefer the graphics with DLSS 2.0 though which runs fine maxed out at stock clock. Can't wait until Doom Eternal gets the ray tracing upgrade!
