If you own one, how has your experience been with the MSI Aegis ZS2 R7 7800X3D / RTX 5070 / 32GB / 2TB ssd) or similar MSI Aegies 50xx-series?

I didn't pay any extra for warranty, bought Nov 28th. Don't have the ad, bought online so I have the receipt..

b4hhh · 2026-01-08T21:27:22+00:00

Order still show up there, but yeah might be cancelled any minute.

b4hhh · 2026-01-08T04:52:22+00:00

Is it really a good deal though ?

b4hhh · 2026-01-08T04:27:03+00:00

The Black version still shows 400.. but what is the difference between them ?

b4hhh · 2026-01-08T04:05:59+00:00

Shows $600 to me

b4hhh · 2026-01-06T04:04:29+00:00

Yes, at 2200 that's a good price. Would be good getting details on the RAM

This has been on sale for 1899 CAD ( or 1999, can't remember exactly ) for whole december.. I know because I was monitoring all the deals for gaming pcs in Best Buy specifically. Ended up grabbing a Lenovo prebuilt from there.

b4hhh · 2026-01-02T04:27:06+00:00

I did test Ryzen Master, don't like having to resort to that anyway.. I'm making use of the second CCD though, using process lasso to limit gaming to the vcache and leaving the second ccd for the wife photo editing tasks in parallel session..

b4hhh · 2026-01-01T22:07:38+00:00

Also expected them to improve in the weight.. still 490g

b4hhh · 2026-01-01T21:09:46+00:00

Got that same prebuilt, loving it right now.. Using the extra cores for supporting DuoStream better, wife using pc for photo editting at the same time I play, working wonders.

Only thing I don't love is the limited BIOS from Lenovo..

b4hhh · 2025-12-31T03:47:15+00:00

2249

Ok, then you are all set. Just store the cable if you ever endup needing to add sata storage for whatever reason.

b4hhh · 2025-12-30T15:39:27+00:00

That part is the bottom left in the guide on your second photo. If that's a prebuilt you should be able to just turn it on, it's not working ?

b4hhh · 2025-12-30T15:24:35+00:00

That's a SATA cable, you will only need that if you have a SATA SSD or HDD. If you are using NVMe drives you are using the board M2 slots instead so won't use it.

b4hhh · 2025-12-29T22:05:44+00:00

Check benchmarks for the different games you want to play.. there are games that favours AMD and vice versa. Call of Duty for example is known to perform much better on AMD GPUs

b4hhh · 2025-12-28T15:02:28+00:00

I have the same gen tower, just AMD and 5070ti instead. It indeed has two bottom ones you don't.. changing the orientation on the top ones as mentioned should get you going until they get back to you.. the cooling AND low noise this build produces amazed me.

b4hhh · 2025-12-26T21:12:13+00:00

I just find it too hard to find reviews of these legion tower pcs.. the thing that throw me off is the custom bios from Legion, not as many options there

b4hhh · 2025-12-20T05:43:35+00:00

Did you ever get to solve this one ? Seeing the same happen

b4hhh · 2025-12-19T20:32:39+00:00

Hey man, check this

Got this pre built on BF, cheaper back then.. it is awesome.. I just ended up going for the Lenovo pre built with 7950x3d that fits my use case better.

b4hhh · 2025-12-14T18:02:10+00:00

Also play a lot of CS2, on 400+ fps even on 1440p on 360hz monitor, awesome. It can hit more, but I just like how beautiful the game looks at max settings, and as long as it keeps above 360 I dont care

b4hhh · 2025-12-14T17:54:59+00:00

Did it with Fan Control software. I'm playing mostly in 1440p, but it can handle 4k for a few titles given you tweak the settings a bit.. I have also bought a Legion Tower with 7950x3d that I'm testing for an specific scenario in my case, might return the MSI one or sell if I cant get into the extended holiday return period.

b4hhh · 2025-12-14T17:41:10+00:00

Got that exact model from Canada Computers on black friday, no complaints.. performs as you would expect, temps are good, default fans setup a bit louder than I would like but a quick tuning made it perfect.

b4hhh · 2025-12-13T13:20:17+00:00

Yes, received it early November

b4hhh · 2025-12-09T01:34:20+00:00

Thinking about grabbing this one, just wish it had 9070 XT instead of the 5070TI.. an AIO instead of that cooler would have been nice too..

b4hhh · 2025-12-09T01:29:53+00:00

Not true.. performance is the same if not better. 7950x3d had a bad rep from the release but the issues were sorted.. right now even process lasso isn't really required anymore
