perfect size
Pros: 1- perfect size for a good air cooler, itx build, 2- I like how everything locks in place, side panels, handle , it makes moving it around better so nothing comes apart.
Cons: 1- I don't like the air filter on bottom , moving computer around filter will slide and fall out they should of gone with sled feet design were the filter slides in and out between sled feet, 2- it would of been nice to include a side panel mesh so when moving computer around and travel I won't have to worry about glass breaking .
Overall Review: computer is thick but not like nr200p , it's not to small but not to big , it's best to hook up cpu cable first to MB before MB install because it can be hard to reach , I like the case size I recommend .
bios update needed
Pros: 11-2-24 everything is working great like it should with bios update , MSI is my FAV . for builds
Cons: at setup nothing worked , graphics card did not work ,got the red and yellow debug lights on ,I was able to get into bios with on board graphics but took a long time only to shut down and back on again , tried installing windows 11 and it failed half way through , I picked Ryzen 9 7900 processor thinking this would work with no problems , than thought I try Bios update and thought it would never work thinking I got a bad motherboard but was wrong
Overall Review: this is a great motherboard ,just thought I put my experience with the board and what parts I used and bios I used , and leave 1 star for the people that look at that first , the processor I used has on board graphics if it didn't oh man this could of gone bad . there is nothing worse than putting a build together and have it not work ... I feel your pain
Fav. Drive
Pros: got a few of these no problems with any of them
Cons: none
Overall Review: I put these in all my builds and use as main drive
best drive
Pros: great drive , probably the best out there , my 2nd purchase of this drive my other one is going strong no problems , this one I setup as a external drive
Cons: if you want 4k it's easy to roll back firmware, info is out there
Overall Review: not many choices out there for burners but believe this is the best
great monitor
Pros: for the money probably best monitor out there , stand goes up and down smooth, no light glow around edges ,no dead pixels , 180 HZ
Cons: none
Overall Review: great monitor for gaming , this is my 2nd purchase of this monitor both are perfect picture ,I recommend .
fan will not spin
Pros: it's small , it's working . ..... Corsair SF Series (2024) SF850, 80 PLUS Platinum
Cons: fan spins up a couple of seconds at start up only .... CPU and GPU stress test and playing games and this thing is warm to hot but fan will not spin ? worried ? yes I am , what does it take ? never would of noticed but I have side panel off testing coolers and noticed the fan will not spin , How long will this last without fan not cooling ?
Overall Review: fan will not spin and it's on the hot side ..... check your fan people
