msiAegis ZS Gaming Desktop AMD Ryzen R7-5700G (8-Core), AMD Radeon RX 6600 8GB, 16G DDR4 3200MHz RAM, 2TB Hard Drive + 500GB NVMe M.2 Solid State Drive, Windows 11 Home, Mouse and Keyboard Included

I was updating bios, Download got stuck, after a few hours (around 2 or 3am). We tried to cancel update and shut it down due to how bright fan lights. Tried booting it in the morning and had no power to Mobo. We managed to brick the Mobo. We contacted seller to see if we could return just the Mobo.They said send the whole PC back. We told them that's ok. We put my old build into the case. An ASRock Steel Legend B550 with AMD R9 5950x 16 gb trident ramm.In short I can't give a actual review as 80% of the main components are not original.I give five stars due to the fact that they were willing to take it back knowing it was bricked due to user error.

Wow, of all the computers I’ve looked at, I decided to buy this Aegis ZS. I bought new and it was defective and didn’t work. I understand things happen but this is really a bummer. Thank you for letting my kid down on Christmas.

This was an absolute steal as a refurbished pc purchase. Everything works fine, except for the onboard wifi, which stopped working.Pros:-I got a stable all core overclock of 4386 mhz at 72 c by setting PBO+ Curve Optimizer to negative -10 on all cores (anything faster would make it freeze and crash when coming out of sleep mode), so this is a solid rendering machine!! :)-The heatsink is good for a low profile cooler. I believe it's a Big Shuriken 3 with an MSI fan on top (it comes with 5 copper heatpipes). The cpu won't go over the low 70s max while running stress tests such as Real Bench and Cinebench R23, and the max temp was even lower when using the included MSI fans (but much louder).-The MSI Mech RX 6600 works well, and max-ed out at only 55 c during a Unigine Heaven stress test. I'm sure it can be overclocked a bit.-Airflow is great in the case with 3 120 mm front intakes, and more on top, if necessary.-Has room for large gpus, and two 6+2 pins on the Delta 540w 80+ bronze psu. Cons:-Since I'm very sensitive to noise, I spent $70 to upgrade ALL the fans (3 PWM Arctic F12s as front intake, & two Noctua NF-F12x25s for the heatsink and rear exhaust). Once I set a quiet fan curve in BIOS, it's nearly silent now, except for the PSU fan, which I only notice when the house is silent. The problem was the fans couldn't be turned down low enough to quiet them since they had a minimum RPM of 600. I wish MSI spent another $30 on quieter PWM fans.-The mobo BIOS can't be updated over the internet using the firmware in Windows, as I can on my cheapo HP Pavillion.-I had to set the dram memory to 3200 mhz in Bios myself - the XMP profile wouldn't do it - since it came set at a default 2666 mhz.-I had to turn on the "wake from sleep using usb" in BIOS myself to get it to come out of sleep mode when I use my keyboard or mouse). Overall Verdict: Thumbs up, especially if you are a tinkerer like me. :)-June 2023 Update: The Curve optimizer of -10 all cores kept causing the pc to freeze and crash when coming out of sleep mode after I upgraded to 2x16gb of 3600 G Skill dram, so I turned the CO off and my Cinebench R23 MC score went from 14,300 to 14,955 at only 78 c. Wow, I might even set a positive CO and run it nearly as fast as a 5800x when I have heavy rendering jobs.

Good Pc . very fast
