BEST PROCESSOR IVE EVER USED IN A SYSTEM BY FAR!!! Well Done AMD!!!
Pros: All good, running great in all scenarios so far! I do not have a single complaint, Runs AutoCAD like a beast!! And all other things i throw at it with buttery smoothness, its beautiful! Not overclocked running great with H115i. 64GB DDR4 3600 cl16. Zenith II Extreme Mobo.
Cons: NONE i can name. (price lol)
Overall Review: I would recommend this to anyone in a work environment where performance is needed to save time! Time = Money
Works great for Zenith II Extreme Alpha board and Threadripper 3960X
Pros: Very stable capable ram. My 3960x loves it. Runs 64gb at xmp timings no problem on 3960x with Z2EA board. Works great with my workflow In CAD and rendering.
Cons: Price is steep but quality is k!ller.
Overall Review: Best quality ram I've used in my threadripper rig. Has boosted my experience overall vs my 3600 cl 16 19 19 19 Triden z neo kit I was running before. No more random shutdowns and other dumb stuff. This ram has fixed my issues I had been dealing with even on new os installs. It's worth it for less headaches alone. Especially in an environment where you have to perform and get plans out the door.
Best RYZEN X570 Board
Pros: This board is beast mode! The bios is the best easiest to deal with bios I have ever used in my 25 years building pcs. I am an evga fan totally because kingpin and tin are next level. This board is the Dark so it has special sauce in it and I love it. It has been rock solid for my boss in his office for all of his tasks he uses. Paired up with 5950x and gskill royal elite 3600 cl14 14 14 ram. With sabrent rocket 4.0 plus pcie 4.0 drive and evga 3060 card. Beast mode.
Cons: They didn't make a Dark KingPin version.
Overall Review: This is the X570 board I'm using from now on in higher end builds. Wish EVGA would make a dark board for threadripper.
Good AIO so far
Pros: Cool, Quiet, Cheaper than some others 360mm rad. in the AIO format which is nice. Included fans pull air good while also staying quiet. RGBs are nice too, CAM software monitors many specs. Cools a 3950X nicely when paired with Kingpin KPX paste.
Cons: Cam software is iffy, Radiator could be a bit thicker,
Overall Review: I would recommend this to anyone needing a fast AIO solution.
Great Case, Can Move More Air Than Expected!
Pros: With 3950X And NZXT Kraken X73 AIO + case fans added it moves more air than expected, so in my opinion its great! The looks are great. Things stay cool. The design for removing and installing the glass is spot on. I love it and will try to use this and others that use the same form factor design as the glass in this case. Remove top and all pcs lift up and then away, like it should be short and sweet. Easy to maintain. Has plenty of vents for air to pass through well. Also has nice filters on all vents.
Cons: Case lighting has difficult time pairing with Asus Aura. It will pair but it goes astray after a few restarts for some reason (oh well doesn't matter to my customer) Motherboard trey is a bit thin for my liking but it still works well it does the job (may require some pushing to have perfect alignment with IO shield) But its not that bad honestly.
Overall Review: I would recommend this to anyone who wants a case with front and side glass and also still have decent airflow, while at the same time be very quick and easy to work on. Only downfall i see is the gauge of metal needs to be 1 or 2 sizes thicker. All in all it gets an A from me.
Beast Mobo A++++ ASUS!!!!
Pros: All!!!!!!, Very Very nice quality!!!
Cons: Price, You get ALOT but you pay ALOT for it so yeah...
Overall Review: Recommend this to anyone that wants the feature set this offers. Ive had good luck building with ASUS for 15+ years.
