AsRock’s BIOS really is terrible if you’re changing things in it. Relatively loud, but you can adjust the fan curve a bit. I would have preferred a 5900x and 6800XT config. RGB fans felt kinda cheap for otherwise such expensive hardware (6900XT reference model). It’s basically an O11 clone, but if you’re new to actually needing to open up and move things in your PC (like taking the packaging out) then finding a guide online will be next to impossible. The original prism uses the Lian Li O11D, but the ii uses the MetallicGear (Phanteks) Neo Qube. The setup guide online is only for the prism, not the prism ii. I was fortunate that it was quick (less than a week), but more communication would have been preferable. Airflow is very good (after all, O11 clone).Ĭons: Lots of uncertainty about when I would get the PC. Front I/O was properly connected, something that did not happen in the Gamers Nexus video. Everything works well and benchmarked around/above standard values. RAM was set to the correct speed, but timings could have been improved out of the box. BIOS was flashed to be compatible with 5000 series mobos.

AIO was mounted in one of two optimal positions (the other being exhaust) given its 360mm size. 3600 Mhz trident Z RGB memory (32Gb, 4×8),1Tb Seagate FireCuda PCIE 4.0 NVME SSD, X570 Taichi by Asrock (best-in-class features, terrible bios). Hardware was good, but yours may vary a bit. Pros: I bought this PC for $2,750, not almost $4K (in August of 2021, mind you).
