Community Reviews

This MSI Codex Z2 looks strongest as a factory reconditioned gaming tower with an RTX 5070, 32GB of DDR5 memory, and a 1TB SSD at a time when memory and storage prices are high. The Ryzen 7 8700F is seen as efficient enough that liquid cooling would not add much, and adding a second SSD later is easy if more space is needed. The main concerns are the 180 day MSI warranty, the lack of liquid cooling, and Windows 11 Home instead of Pro. RAM speed may also depend on enabling XMP in BIOS, so the out of box settings deserve a look.

Common Questions (6)

  • It ships with Windows 11 Home, not Pro. That matters for buyers who want features like Group Policy, BitLocker, or more control for VMs and remote management; a Pro upgrade is about $99.

  • The RTX 5070, 32GB RAM, and 1TB SSD make it a strong value at current memory and SSD prices. The main tradeoffs are the factory-refurbished status, 180-day MSI warranty, and the lack of liquid cooling.

  • The 1TB SSD is workable if you do not keep many large games or media files installed at once. If you need more space, adding a second SSD is easy, or you can use cheaper external USB storage.

  • No liquid cooling is listed, and the 8700F's 65W TDP means an AIO would not provide much benefit anyway. The system is being judged as fine with standard cooling for this CPU.

    jtree1TealGame1436ch3lseafc11

  • One buyer saw the BIOS report 5600MHz instead of 6000MHz, so the kit may not be running at its rated speed by default. Enabling XMP in BIOS is usually needed to get full RAM speed.

  • Yes, adding a second SSD for games or data is easy. That makes the included 1TB drive less limiting if you want to expand later.

Not a bad deal, but I will pass due 1TB SSD, no liquid cooling and "Warranty: 180 Day MSI Warranty".

It's a good deal for the 32GB RAM, 5070 and 1TB SSD considering the cost of memory and storage now. Liquid cooling is overrated, especially for an 8700F.

Your right, 65w TDP for a desktop CPU is not going to benefit from a AIO.

Liquid cooling isn't as good as people think. The warranty part is valid.

Considering how SSD prices are skyrocketing, people should just take what they can get, and expand their overall storage with cheaper external USB drives.

1TB can work if you don't keep too many games installed at the same time, or download too many media files.

Windows 11 HOME? Refurbs are typically great (especially for tower PCs) - they're thoroughly tested, sometimes better than new quality (especially if listed in excellent condition). But this thing is a low-budget machine sold at a high price- maybe a reasonable price these days. I usually prefer refurbs, and have never, ever had any issue (I recently retired one after 11 years of circuit and PCB design and software development on it).

Agree. I was going to recommend this to some people, but the Win11 Home killed the deal for me.

What's the big deal though? You do a lot of virtualization or something?

Yes, several VMs, but more privacy and security concerns. I need much finer control of my machine. GPedit is important.

That's fair, for most people it doesn't matter that much; but I do understand when a professional user is like "Nah this is why" like alright..
That being said, Win11 Pro is like $99 for a "Win Pro Upgrade"

I can get it cheaper, MSI, much cheaper. They didn't install that in these.

Anyone even slightly technical knows how to reinstall Windows and keys are cheap.
