Our test rig includes the Samsung 980 Pro 1 TB SSD that boots up our main OS while a 2 TB Seagate HDD is used for the storage of games and applications. In addition to these, we are running an MSI GeForce RTX 4090 SUPRIM X graphics card and an ASUS ROG Thor 1200W power supply. For this specific review, we used G.Skill's Trident Z5 NEO DDR5-6400 memory kit running at CL32 timings (overclocked to DDR5-7000 for gaming tests). We also got an AM5 mounting kit for the Corsair H150i to use as a cooling solution for our test setup.
