So, let's unbox these beauties and see what they have to offer!
Unboxing and Overview of MSI's RTX 2080 Super
First up, let's take a look at the star of the show – MSI's RTX 2080 Super graphics card. This card is an absolute beauty with its full RGB illumination that perfectly matches the aesthetics of the PC build. MSI has really gone all out with the design and performance of this card, making it a top-notch choice for gamers and PC enthusiasts alike. We'll be exploring its features and capabilities in more detail once we've installed it into the PC build.
Features of MSI's X570 Meg Godlike Motherboard
Next, we have MSI's X570 Meg Godlike motherboard – a true powerhouse in terms of features and performance. This motherboard supports PCIe Gen 4 technology, allowing for lightning-fast data transfer speeds. It also boasts the ability to accommodate up to three M.2 drives directly on the board, and even includes an expander card that allows for a total of 5 M.2 drives. But that's not all – the Godlike motherboard also comes with a stunning OLED screen, which can be customized to display various information such as CPU and GPU temperatures. Let's dive deeper into all the bells and whistles that this motherboard has to offer.
Installing the Godlike Motherboard in the PC Build
Now that we've taken a closer look at the Godlike motherboard, it's time to install it into our PC build. With its stunning design and robust build quality, this motherboard is sure to be the centerpiece of our build. We'll secure it firmly in place and connect all the necessary cables to ensure smooth operation. Once installed, we'll be able to fully appreciate all the features and capabilities that this motherboard has to offer.
Exploring the OLED Screen and Customization Options
One of the standout features of the Godlike motherboard is its OLED screen. This screen allows for customizable displays, giving you the flexibility to showcase various information such as CPU and GPU temperatures. We'll explore the options available for customization and see how we can make the most of this unique feature. Whether you want to monitor your system's performance or simply display custom graphics, the OLED screen on the Godlike motherboard has got you covered.
RGB Lighting Effects and Software Control
In addition to its impressive performance and features, the Godlike motherboard also offers extensive RGB lighting options. We'll delve into the software control that MSI provides, allowing you to customize and synchronize the RGB lighting effects across all compatible components. With the combination of MSI's graphics card and the stunning G.Skill RAM, this build is a visual masterpiece. We'll showcase different lighting effects and find the perfect combination to make this build truly shine.
Rear I/O and Connectivity Options
Let's take a look at the rear I/O of the Godlike motherboard to see what connectivity options are available. While the Godlike motherboard offers a wide range of features, one area where it falls slightly short is the number of USB ports. With only six USB ports, including five Type-A and one Type-C, some users may find themselves wanting more. However, the inclusion of 10 Gigabit LAN and Bluetooth 5.0 makes up for this limitation. We'll explore the rear I/O in more detail and discuss the pros and cons of the available connectivity options.
Overclocking Performance and Results
Now, let's talk about overclocking. With the AMD Ryzen 9 3950X at our disposal, we wanted to push its limits and see how far we could overclock it on the Godlike motherboard. However, we encountered some challenges and found that achieving stable all-core overclocks was more difficult than anticipated. We'll share our experience and discuss the results we were able to achieve, as well as the impact it had on system stability and performance. While the results may not have met our expectations, we'll still explore ways to optimize performance and find the ideal balance between speed and stability.
Upgrading to 64GB RAM and its Impact on Performance
To further enhance the capabilities of this PC build, we decided to upgrade the RAM from 32GB to a whopping 64GB. This upgrade was primarily aimed at improving video editing performance, as Adobe Premiere tends to be quite resource-intensive. We'll discuss the impact of this RAM upgrade on system performance and whether the investment was worth the cost. While 64GB of RAM may not be necessary for the average user, it can significantly boost productivity for content creators and professionals.
Conclusion
In conclusion, this PC build featuring MSI's RTX 2080 Super graphics card and X570 Meg Godlike motherboard is a true powerhouse. The combination of impressive performance, stunning aesthetics, and top-of-the-line features make this build perfect for gaming enthusiasts and content creators alike. While there were some challenges and limitations along the way, we ultimately achieved a system that delivers on both functionality and eye-catching visuals. Whether you're a gamer looking for the ultimate gaming experience or a professional in need of a high-performance workstation, this PC build has got you covered.
