2 returns to Poland for defect no part to change ... they have "repaired"; Watercooling is useless against the processor
PC assembled by MSI to be avoided !!!!!
I have display and performance issues in games.
I have random freezes in games, textures that flicker from time to time and textures that appear blurry and/or pixelated. The internal structuring and edges are square and not at all sharp.
I am extremely disappointed with the overall quality of this MSI PC, both in the assembly and the quality of the components used.
- The cable management is non-existent, it's everywhere.
- The RAM and the motherboard have no heat sinks whereas the Z590 PRO WIFI has them on the sales photos. For a gaming PC this is borderline.
- The original unnamed RAM is not performing well, it caused 2 PC reboot. I have replaced it and for the same frequency, the new RAM is much more powerful (significant FPS gain in games).
- The watercooling system of the processor makes a humming noise, permanent whistling which is very unpleasant in office use.
I had to turn off the PC when I was doing something else in the room (impossible to concentrate and/or read)
I don't give it a 1/10 because the glass window on the side is cool to see the mess of the management cable
