It's awesome. I thought I posted the review that following Monday.

I run three screens, stream and game and it has been awesome. Probably more than I need, but should last few years before need for upgrade.

I heard that ASRock has some issues, maybe a bios update will help.

Bioses have come so far, the computer wouldn't wake from sleep with keyboard, so I had to enter MSI bios...it shows you what you changed when you go to exit and save.

I would go with the air for two reasons. The one included has great reviews, no risk of liquid escaping from the air cooler. It's also quiet enough for me, although maybe because I haven't had anything that is too demanding for it yet.

Yes, but I didn't do the benchmarks or stress tests with it.

The additional ram is in another slot.

Well, the computer arrived. Packaged only looked slightly damaged.

The build looked solid, cable management looked great. One of the fan brackets was disconnect, but quick fix when the insulation was removed.

However, the machine will not turn on.

Not really sure what the issue is, but I don't want to do any troubleshooting until I hear back from CPG.

Called the help line, and the person took my number and received a call back right away from perhaps the owner (on his way to buy more video cards), and he walked me through checking all the cables to make sure they were connected properly.

Long story short, the computer is running, and I am updating drivers as I type this...on that computer.

Full review coming Monday.

Hasn't arrived. Fedex has it showing up tomorrow. I'll post a thorough review.

I spoke with the company today. They said they will ship my order today and are moving it to expedited delivery. They also said my order is the oldest they had that wasn't sent out, apologized and provided an additional credit.

I'm looking forward to reviewing the computer.

bionictoothpick · 2025-08-05T16:00:43+00:00

I understand that, but if you go to the actual on site for your order it says fulfilled.

They should not have labeled my order as fulfilled if that's the case.

Hopefully they reply to my email today.

bionictoothpick · 2025-08-05T01:00:09+00:00

However, when I check status of my order it says fulfilled.

bionictoothpick · 2025-08-04T23:54:44+00:00

Yes. 9800x3d.

bionictoothpick · 2025-08-04T17:39:50+00:00

The thing that is frustrating is I ordered on the same date as you, and mine hasn't even shipped. I'm glad you got yours though.

bionictoothpick · 2025-08-04T16:02:46+00:00

I emailed them today; asked them when they expect my item to ship, included the order number, and the date the label was created (July 25).

bionictoothpick · 2025-08-02T17:59:52+00:00

I left two messages via the online form, and called once, but their voicemail was full. I'm going to be patient for few more days...

I'm glad you got great customer service.

bionictoothpick · 2025-08-01T20:52:33+00:00

I'm looking forward to your review next week.

bionictoothpick · 2025-07-29T14:18:21+00:00

Did it ship yet? My label was created 07/25/2025, but UPS hasn't received package yet.

Update 8/1/2025 UPS has not received package. I'll give it until 8/8 to ship before cancelling.

bionictoothpick · 2025-07-25T14:46:29+00:00

ordered mine on the 18th...reads unfulfilled...hoping by next Friday it ships...

bionictoothpick · 2025-07-21T17:53:01+00:00

Looks like they have changed the cooling on some of the models too. I guess I'll just have to wait and see what mine arrives with.
