Pros: This is a very solid choice for those on an AM2 platform. While it's not quite the performer of the Q6600, at similar cost, what it does do it does well. It performs basically on par, and in some applications.. though not gaming, very very well. But the biggest advantage is socket compatibility. I'm tried the chip we have on boards with Via/R480/Nvidia/AMD chipsets, and it's fine on all of them. In comparison to those finding out the QX9650 doesn't work on 680i, or the Q6600 wants to jump back to a 6 multiplier, or that a 965P won't do this.. This is a really solid effort on AMD's part. Not as good as I would have liked, but very worthwhile.

Cons: Look, it's not a Q6600, and AMD should have had a faster performing chip at this price point. There is no doubt about it. But for what it is, judging it at that, it's quite good.

Overall Review: Forget the web comparisons to a QX or a X series Intel chip.. it's not priced that way, and it doesn't perform that way. If you already have an AM2 board, this is a very worthwhile upgrade and money well spent. Forget the intel fanboys, it's cheaper to buy this chip and be happy then it is to scrap and start over on Intel.

Pros: First, this is a 790I board, which features DDR3 Support and SLI support. So, it is what it is.

Cons: Nvidia's chipset level support has some serious issues. Out of a run of 15 boards, 4 were completely unusable after more then two months; 2 were basically DOA out of the box with random failures, lockups, and freezes. The same equipment works in other boards and configurations so it's clearly the boards. This high of an overall fail rate, almost 1/3, is simply not acceptable for a signature product at this price point, no matter what the perceived value is.

Overall Review: The problems that follow the eVGA though seem to exist in every 790I solution we've worked with; the fail rate stays consistent, somewhere between 20-30%. So, the issue is clearly chipset related. In some cases, BIOS misconfiguration of RAM voltage can be the cause, but the chipset is so unbelievably finicky about the kind of ram it elects to use that it's a moot point. While not natively eVGAs fault, these boards are simply unacceptable. If you need to do SLI, then right now there are a plethora of 780I boards that work. I have a gut feeling Nvidia just hasn't figured out how to do DDR3 Memory controller; this is their first attempt at it, and it's a way to quickly find yourself pulling your hair out.

Pros: * Excellent design elements for a 4U rackmount server style. Due to the close placement of the power connectors to the PSU on most server boards * Cables are fantastic in their quality, easy to bind and come with a full array of velcro straps * Easy installation pre and post

Cons: Have your cables done before hand is the easiest option, just as with a normal PSU. This will not solve all issues. The USB hub is an interesting idea, but I'm not entirely sure it fits every need, USB2.0 only Wished it provided options on fan control inside PSU

Overall Review: Lian Li has really nailed this PSU. With a 10 year warranty, it's good stuff. I've opened one up to verify and they are using high quality caps and board which is great in comparison to several "good" modular PSUs. Buying a bad PSU is a great way to end up toasting a PC. Buying a good one lasts for a long while.

Pros: * It's Nvidia * Supports current DLSS * Decent 1080P performance

Cons: * Price per dollar, many AMD cards are a better value * It is too close in price to a 4070 Super in comparison to the percentage of performance difference * It's PCI-E 8X lanes, so you're not getting full bandwith of a PCI-E slot; this can be helpful if you need another slot to be X8, but otherwise it shows how handicapped the GPU is

Overall Review: This is a card that does what it should, but is now $50 more expensive than a 4070 Super which will absolultely throttle it. There is no reason at all to buy a slower card that has a much highier cost.

Pros: This is a really solid PCI-E Gen 5 NVME with good benchmarks to back it up. It is not, say, a T700 and it falls short of a few others on the market, but the speed demolishes PCI Gen 4 drives and if you are using this as a scratch space for content creation you will notice the difference. I've more recently used two of these for ZFS cache testing and really

Cons: There are faster PCI-E Gen 5 drives out there. The cooler that comes with this device is likely not going not going to be used by most of the buyers, who will have motherboards that already come with a built in NVME cooler. Gigabyte should provide an option without their heatsink, but I can understand why they do not.

Overall Review: This is overall a pretty solid NVME with great performance and value at it's price point.

Pros: I've installed dozens of this model into a lot of different businesses. I have long loved the Unifi platform, and after years of being dedicated to Cisco and at smaller locations Watchguard or a direct solution (like ClearOS or pfSense) I've found the Unifi Dream Machine Pro to really pull everything together; the software updates have continuously improved this product and the support in both their forums and through software upgrades has improved this unit drastically; units I bought a year ago are much better than they were then, and that's all free software, something we never could get right through Cisco/etc. where billing really hit.

Cons: You do want to stay on top of updates. Manage these. Have access to the phone app to follow. And set these up correctly with a plan and setup backups.

Overall Review: I'd give this a solid "BUY" for any small office!
