It's not 100% perfect but close. Headphones have plenty of clearance unlike my Corsair headset stand. USB locations work well too. ARGB is good without being to much.

Awesome keyboard
on July 9, 2021
Posted by: Steve
Verified Purchase:Yes
It's an expensive keyboard but not overpriced. I absolutely love it. I have a 60% and TKL but this is the perfect middle ground. It's also my first wireless keyboard and I haven't noticed any lag. Added a few of their green PBT double shot keycaps and it really stands out.

It's OEM! Definitely better then the 12 to dual 8 pin that Nvidia includes. But unfortunately I haven't been able to use it yet cus best buy hasn't allowed me the opportunity to purchase a new GPU yet.

Best 60% keyboard
on May 30, 2021
Posted by: Steve
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have a TKL and really like it but wanted to try a 60% keyboard since gaming was pretty much all I needed it for. This one had the best reviews and since I really like my HyperX TKL I went with it. Took a few days to get used to it but I'm very happy. Quality keyboard, quality switches and quality key caps. I hope it becomes popular so they make a wireless one someday.

Great sound and features

Verified Purchase:Yes
At first I thought they fit a little lose but it's just because there so light and comfortable. Sound is excellent and being able to connect to my PC and cellphone at the same time is really great. Range is excellent, and free Dolby Atmos is awesome. The mic quality is unbelievable and almost as good as a $100/$150 standalone podcast type mic

So far so good

Verified Purchase:Yes
I just installed it a few hours ago. Originally I bought the R7 5800X but went with this one instead based on price to performance benchmarks. I enabled PBO 2.0 and input my settings and curve and I'm stable with a boost clock of 4.85hz which is crazy. I'll probably disable PBO and just go with a manual OC of 4.6 or 4.7 but it's a great CPU to mess with.

A little overpriced
on May 30, 2021
Posted by: Steve
Verified Purchase:Yes
I did decide to return it and go with the R5 5600X instead just based on performance to price. I've already seen some stores discounting it and assume it will be a $375 to $400 CPU soon. $450 is just to much when the 5600X is only $300. It does out-perform the 5600X but for 1080p at 144hz gaming I'll be happier saving the $150.

Steve's Review Comments
The CORSAIR iCUE COMMANDER CORE XT lets you intelligently control up to six PWM fans and multiple RGB components while accurately monitoring system temperatures, all from a single device. Automatic detection of any combination of individually addressable CORSAIR RGB fans makes for easy setup, with out-of-the-box control of up to 264 RGB LEDs on compatible CORSAIR RGB devices. Two included temperature sensors allow you to keep an eye on your system and create automated fan curves for the most efficient cooling. Powerful CORSAIR iCUE software ties all of these capabilities together in a single interface. Complete with a USB 2.0 pass-through to connect an additional internal USB device and embedded magnets for easy installation, the CORSAIR iCUE COMMANDER CORE XT puts your setup at your command.

If your PC is in the Corsair ecosystem this will be a good device for controlling Corsair fans and argb. iCue software is required though it's a pretty good reliable software.

It depends on the connection type of the RGB/aRGB devices you plan on using. I made my own with spare connectors I had from previous builds. Watch this YouTube video which should be helpful. Corsair Lighting Node hacks for non-corsair RGB devices.

The CM1000 Ultra-High Speed Cable Modem, with speeds up to 1Gbps and DOCSIS 3.1 is 10X faster than DOCSIS 3.0 devices. It's backward compatible with DOCSIS 3.0 and ready for future service plan upgrades for XFINITY from Comcast, Cox, and Spectrum. A Gigabit Ethernet port provides faster access and downloads.
On the Spectrum Authorized Modems page, is says Netgear CM1000v2 is compatible. Is this v2 I don't see where it says it anywhere in the specs or in the model number.
I ordered it on BB website and received the V2 version even though it wasn't specific which version it was. Probably all the older versions are sold out and only the V2 is available now and BB hasn't updated their website description.

Midco list CM1000 & CM1000 v2 BB sells NASversion, Called Netgear they said 3 versions of modem are avail. & order of release are CM1000, CM1000-NAS, CM1000V2 so called Netgear -they said call ISP, called ISP they said call Netgear, this work w/Midco?
I ordered the only CM1000 on BB website which doesn't really clarify if it's V2 or not. When I went to register it on Netgears website it came up as V2 which was great news. I'm pretty sure all the original ones have been sold out and the V2 are what you will get as long as ordering from a reputable company.

Would you be able to overclock an AMD Ryzen 9 3900x
Yes. Easy to overclock multi core to 4.0/4.1 and even up to 4.3 with a single core clock of 4.7/4.8. I have a 3700X on this mobo but my other Asus mobo has the 3900X so I'm familiar both the Mobo and CPU.
