Well, I'm writing a review, so it worked.

- Solid build quality. - Packaged well. - Long cables. - Outstanding 10 year warranty. - Fairly quiet (noticeable when under high load, but not very loud). - Plenty of power (works w/ RTX 5090 just fine).

Great little server CPU. Not costs only a tiny bit more than a 9600x but includes some nice enterprise-level features like transparent memory encryption. Makes for a great home lab CPU.

- Supported new AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D CPU out of the box but still updated bios firmware to the latest. - Simple black design. - Two NVMe slots with heatsinks (One PCIe 5.0, 2nd is 4.0) and 3 Sata ports give plenty of options for storage. - Wifi and Bluetooth - Plenty of fan & ARGB headers, though I used Corsair's Commander PRO Fan and RGB Controller that was included in the Corsair iCUE H115i Elite AIO CPU liquid cooler so wires are nicely hidden behind the motherboard tray. - It's TUF! quality build.
