2 1/2 Year review

ASUS RT-AC87U Dual-band 4x4 AC2400 4-port Gigabit Gaming Router with AiProtection Powered by Trend Micro
ASUS RT-AC87U Dual-band 4x4 AC2400 4-port Gigabit Gaming Router with AiProtection Powered by Trend Micro

Pros: I was very happy with this unit, the 2.4GHz and 5GHz signals were very good, the LAN port was excellent, I did enjoy my internet for a good time, even with a lot of devices at home like 4 Personal Computers, 5 Cell phones, 2 Network DVD's, 2 Smart TV's and guest devices. The Cores and the RAM was able to handle all that stress, software easy to navigate and configure, lots of options and services WiFi Signals were strong and had a very good coverage for a two store house from one end to another, overall I was very happy.

Cons: After 2 1/2 years I started noticing that the internet was slow and connections started to drop Now, LAN ports and WiFi has intermittent connection drops, I have restored Factory settings, I have downgraded the Firmware, I have leave default settings I have sent the logs to tech team and nothing seems to solve the problem, so now that I am out of warranty they want me to send the unit for repairs and estimated cost would be $230, $30 more than what I'm planning to buy, another gaming router, nonsense, I felt offended by the suggestion.

Overall Review: if you are part of the lucky ones, you will have a good first experience with the unit, but it doesn't last long and seems to me that all reviews above are sharing the same problems and there's no actual fix. so I wouldn't recommend to purchase this unit

Good, however, not entirely satisfied

ASUS ROG STRIKER-GTX760-P-4GD5 G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 760 4GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
ASUS ROG STRIKER-GTX760-P-4GD5 G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 760 4GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

Pros: I like the looks of the cards, the GPU Tweak is great, pretty straight forward software that makes it easy to profile and monitor, the Load LED is very useful, easy to overclock. Fans are overall quiet however when overclock the GPU and add extra spin to the fans tends to get a little loud.

Cons: I have an SLI setup, i started to have reboots on my new build, I first thought it was the CPU... no, then the RAM... nop, and finally move to the GPU, and they have been giving me problems, I was hoping it would be only one, but I try them individually and they both are giving me problems, finally one of the last crashes, I got the report and I got the codes which I will post later, I haven't contacted ASUS CS, however, not sure if they would do anything about it since it's been over 5 months. Not sure how I will deal with this since I have read that their RMA policies are very strict and they wouldn't help me on that. Will try it anyways, however, I wish I could deal with a more specialized personal rather than the first contact CS, as they have generic troubleshooting and diagnostics knowledge. Regarding fan speeds, I am not sure if I'm not dealing correctly with the GPU Tweak, however, they don't adjust automatically when reaching 70 F degree, I have to adjust the fan speed manually in order for the GPUs to not overheat.

Overall Review: The cover is a plastic cover, I would have expected to be metal, since they are a little more personalized than stock GPUs and a bit more expensive

Really Happy with it

Pros: Reliable. most formats supported never had a problem

Cons: It was time to give it away, after 4 years, but the unit still kicks.... you get the point

Overall Review: interesting that this unit actually allowed me to install a game that a newer one did not, idk what ever happened there, but I simply loved it.

4 Year After Review

Western Digital WD Green WD20EARS 2TB 5400 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: This coming November will be the HDD 4th anniversary and it's still working like day 1. I have reformat the computer several times and it's working perfectly

Cons: Not so far after 4 years.

Overall Review: It's still a good HD to go with, specially this days, if you want an HDD that will only store documents, movies or music, etc, it's a very viable and reliable HD, there are new HD's that will be much better for though environments, but as storage unit, like I use it now in the HD enclosure, you will be satisfied and it will get the job done.
