It’s a good standard controller. Nothing wrong with it. But I wish it had a built in battery. But I got it for free with my TV anyway.

Really good TV, keeping in mind that this is not OLed. I use this in a dark room, dispite all the praise for its bright room performance, mainly for PC. It’s a great choice for those that want the best Led performance without worry of burn. OLed still looks better to me but OLed has a degrading shelf life that is even worst connected to a computer. Great choice here from movies to gaming.

Very nice case. Good airflow, not monster airflow, but sufficient for gaming, very roomy, lots of conduit holes, lots of cable management tie off points, cool RGB. Other than physical RGB button, I’m still trying to figure out how to control RGB, does not show up on my mystic lights app. Cable management side a little tight if you have thick wires, but no tighter than a standard desk top.

XTM70 Extreme Performance Thermal Paste enables maximum heat transfer from your high-end processor and components so they can stay reliably cool, during even the most intense tasks and overclocking. XTM70 spreads evenly and cleanly due to its low viscosity, resulting in peak thermal transfer on Intel and AMD processors up to 250W TDP and higher. The included applicator kit makes it easy to apply an even layer onto a cold plate, alongside three included cleaning wipes to handily remove old paste from your hardware. With 3g of non-electrically conductive paste, XTM70 helps support extreme CPU cooling and lower temperatures without drying or cracking.
 
Works ok. Buy little thick.

Works good but a little thick; but I’m the type that spreads the paste. It’s not as badly thick as theTML50 bust still thick. Wish there was a normal spreading tool; there is but it’s not normal.

I returned it the same day. Didn’t realize no Wi-Fi meant no Bluetooth. It looks like a solid motherboard, not too far off from the b550 tomahawk but I can go without Bluetooth because I only have Bluetooth earphones.

You can install windows 10/11 cheaper with a little research online but they all need another computer to download install media on a flash drive. My only computer’s motherboard went bad and this was my best option. Fast and easy instillation. I haven’t checked myself but was told this is a retail version, meaning I can swap parts or even computers without voiding windows’ license.

What is the max Gpu size that can fit this? Thinking about a xfx speedster card but they tend to be long, 13.5-13.39 length.

 Insignia™ - 350 Sq. Ft. 8,000 BTU U-Shaped Window Air Conditioner - White
Insignia™ - 350 Sq. Ft. 8,000 BTU U-Shaped Window Air Conditioner - White
Summer’s great, but not if you’re stuck indoors without an air conditioner. Beat the heat this season with the Insignia NS-AC8WU3 350 Sq. Ft. 8,000 BTU U-Shaped Window Air Conditioner. A powerful BTU rating of 8,000 provides cool air for a room up to 350 sq. ft. Designed for vertical sliding windows, this air conditioner features an oscillating fan with 3 different speeds and both up/down and left/right adjustment options. A U-shaped construction reduces the amount of cool air that can escape while letting you keep your window closed or open. This air conditioner runs as low as 42 dBA – up to 9x quieter than most traditional units, while simultaneously using an inverter system and Energy Star certification to save you both money and energy. A handy air filter indicator and an auto restart mode both grant you the peace of mind in knowing this air conditioner has you covered no matter what. Finally, an included remote control lets you operate the unit from up to 26.2 ft. away. All this and more make this Insignia air conditioner an ideal way to stay cool and comfortable indoors.
 

Never owned an AC before. Are window units suppose to be this noisy? Blowers throttling constantly, crackling noises heard from outside (my window glass is thin), and occasionally water noises. Maybe it’s normal but I wouldn’t know, videos look silent.

Does this mobo support the Amd Ryzen 5 5600x without me needing to upgrade the bios?

90% sure it does not. There are a very few people that say they didn’t have to but usually are fibbing or bought from a source that already flash the board pre sale (bestbuy does not do this).

have bluetooth to conect my xbox controller?

Yes, but it’s finicky. Install all new drivers and bios from MSI website & make sure your widows updates are up to date. Bluetooth icon will appear in tool box but may or may not work. If it’s not working but icon is showing: depower and power system till it starts working (unplug PSU and hold power button to make sure it’s totally depowerd). I did this myself after finding solution through google.

I have the mag B550 Tomahawk max wifi motherboard. Does it have bluetooth capability and if so how do I enable it? Device mgr says its updated but yet has an exclamation!

Download all the new drivers and bios updates applicable to your board from the MSI website. May need to power & depower your desktop a few times after installing everything to get them to work. I and a lot of other people had the same problem of not finding Bluetooth but eventually it did work.

Yes. But if your talking about 2 M.2 SSDs yes you can but not be able to use the 2nd expansion slot from what I’ve heard. Not too many people need the second expansion slot anyway though.
