It's Superflower. What else do you need to know?

Super Flower Leadex III ARGB 850W 80+ Gold, 10 Years Warranty, Addressable LEDs With 5V Motherboard Sync/Analog Controlled, ECO Fanless & Silent Mode, Full Modular Power Supply, SF-850F14RG(WH)

Pros: High quality components. lots of functioning failsafe and protection components to avoid critical failures. Very well-built for it's price.

Cons: Superflower's insistence on adding RGB to the ports where 99.9% of users won't see it is kind of weird. could be a deal breaker for some.

Overall Review: 9.5/10. Great Power Supply

Could have put that $4,000+ to better use.

MSI GS Series - 17.3" 4K / UHD 120 Hz - Intel Core i9-12900H - GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Laptop GPU - 32 GB DDR5 - 1 TB PCIe SSD - Windows 11 Pro 64-bit - Gaming Laptop (Stealth GS77 12UHS-040 )

Pros: Fast. They chose a good SSD to put in. Boots to login in less than 15 seconds. Games load fast too. Big 4K display with a full keyboard. Nice color saturation and doesn't look washed out like other displays. Feels sturdier than other MSI laptops.

Cons: Heat: Like most MSI laptops, it gets so hot it's actually uncomfortable to touch. Intensive games easily get the CPU over 100°c. Get a cooling pad for this beast. Stability: like almost every DDR5 system I've touched, it comes with stability issues. Couple BSODs the first week or so, and some freezing. Seems to have sorted itself out for the most part now.

Overall Review: Overall a decent laptop. Don't really gain much for going with the highest end parts.

Cheap with half it's features not working

Pros: Price Size

Cons: Qflash+ does not work None of the new BIOS revisions work on this board Does not post because of these cons It's been documented that recent BIOS versions (F20+) have not worked on Gigabytes A and H series boards... Months later and this issues still hasn't been fixed.

Overall Review: If this board actually worked on it's latest BIOS it'd be a completely different story but I'll have to fail it with 1 star.
