Great cooling! But Linux users look elsewhere.

I bought the iCUE H170i ELITE to cool my Ryzen 9 5950X in a Corsair 5000D Airflow case.
Works well! Instructions were clear and I had a working system in minutes.
Mounting to the CPU was a bit fiddly, but that is more a flaw of the AM4 socket than it is this AIO.
Only downside is limited control of this device when using Linux. Even with OpenRGB an LiquidCTL installed, this product is difficult to configure.
Once I can fully modify the settings in linux, I'll upgrade to 5 stars.

Store files securely on this 1TB Samsung portable SSD. It transfers data at speeds of up to 540MB/s for increased work productivity, and it connects to Android smart phones with a downloadable app, so you can backup pictures and music. This Samsung portable SSD is smaller than a standard business card for easy transport.

Reliable and FAST exactly what I need.

I don't have too much to say about this product - after all, it does one thing and it does it well - Store data.
I've manually partitioned my T5 for use as a portable linux "drive" and everything works wonderfully. I've not had any issues with SWAP partition performance, in fact, I'm surprised it's been so fast. That Random IO performance really shows!
Now I just have to see if I can enable the disk encryption and still be able to boot from the drive. But I don't really have any expectation for it to do so at this point. It would just be a nice bonus!

Mobo spontaneously combusted at idle - 6 months in
on November 9, 2020
Posted by: BRogers
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've had the unit about 6 months now. Seemed to be working great until yesterday.
Laptop was left idle with Discord running in the background. We then heard a loud "pop" and smelt this awful burning smell. Once we figured out it was the laptop we unplugged and made sure it wasn't smoldering.
Currently trying to start an RMA and there is extreme skepticism every step of the way. They seem to think we've damaged our laptop somehow, but that's not the case.
Laptop was always kept cool and dry, it hasn't even seen a sneeze to the keyboard. Device was also on a cooling mat almost 100% of the time. We were only using 2 USB devices at the time - a cooling pad and a wireless adapter for a logitech mouse.
We've configured the device to stop charging battery at 70% so as to reduce potential battery issues as well.
Basically, we've done everything we could to ensure that this device functions properly for a long time. This seems like a manufacturing defect far more than a user error.

Unit lasted 6 months before breaking.
on November 9, 2020

Verified Purchase:Yes
Unit lasted 6 months before spontaneously combusting. Laptop was just sitting on a laptop cooling pad on AC power when we heard a pop and smelled burning before pulling the AC plug.
Laptop no longer starts at all.
Started RMA process, but it's looking like they think we did something.
Let me be clear, we've taken excellent care of this machine, it has never suffered a spill/drop or extreme conditions. It has only ever remained in a cool, dry room with plenty of ventilation. We are also within the 12 month warranty.
If you do decide to go with this unit, be sure to buy the Best Buy coverage because ASUS might give you the run-around.
Before this, I'd rate this laptop 5/5. But since it broke in such a fantastic way, I'm bringing it down to 1 star. If RMA goes well, it will go up to a 4/5.

RE: Brand response from ASUS Answers
November 9, 2020
Uhhh, I am NOT in contact with Best Buy on this. I wasn't asked to until _after_ I already shipped the device with the RMA Shipping Label provided by ASUS.
Seems like this RMA could be in limbo now. All because the ASUS phone rep didn't refer me to the correct resources.
Could you please follow up on the email I sent?
Kind Regards,

BRogers's Questions
BRogers has not submitted any questions.
Live that ultra lifestyle on the ultimate tablet, featuring our largest screen to help you do more.
Is this considered a mobile device meaning many apps are not optimized on a tablet but are compatible with a phone? What's the biggest difference of this NOT having Windows and only Android? These are my 2 biggest concerns.
In addition to the "android is pretty good actually" answers seen here. There is a feature called "second screen" that allows you to use the tablet as a display for your Windows computer over wifi. It's quite good!
If you can't do the thing on Android, use Second Screen with your PC to bridge the gap!
