Most Favorable Review

A solid card, but a bit loud

GIGABYTE Radeon RX 580 8GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 ATX Video Card GV-RX580GAMING-8GD

Pros: - It's fast, 8GB RAM and it works

Cons: - Get's pretty seriously loud. Not sure if it's a heat issue in my case with bad airflow or what but the fan runs really loud. I had a 1060 from Gigabyte with the same cooler (looks like it anyway) and it ran much quieter.

Most Critical Review

Nice while it lasted

Pros: Cool and quiet, just what you want a cooler to do

Cons: Didn't last long. Fan died after a few weeks and had to replace with one that can't be controlled by the GPU. Now after a few months the pump sprang a leak and leaked the oily fluid all over my card and motherboard. Contacted Arctic about RMA and haven't heard anything back in 3 days yet, that's not a good sign.

Overall Review: Nice while it lasted, but very disappointed in the longevity of this product. Leaked after less than 3 months.

Doesn't work at rated speed

Pros: RGB looks good

Cons: Won't post at rated speed (3600) on X570 ASRock TAICHI board. Won't even post at 3200. Only thing I have working is 2133 speed, which is pathetic for the price.

Overall Review: Would not buy again, plan on returning to get something that actually works. Don't buy the 'AMD Ready' or X570 support.
