Pros: Fast speeds. My router, an ASUS RT-N66U running firmware version 3.0.0.4.276 (the later ones are much slower with this wireless adapter) and this adapter are getting up to 20 megabytes a second transferring files from my PC to the NAS over the 5G channel. The Nas is upstairs and the PC is in the basement directly beneath. Range is decent but not great so choose something with external antennas if you'll be connecting over long distances or through multiple walls.

Cons: One problem I experienced early on was audio and video stutter when using the network card at the same time as playing an MP3 or watching a video. I used DPC latency checker to show that the network connection was causing spikes. I can't remember exactly what I did but I had to update several drivers to get everything to play nice. This may be an isolated case due to my specific hardware as there is no mention of the issue elsewhere on the web.

Overall Review: If you have a 300mbs router I recommend this wireless adapter. For 450mbs or the even faster AC I would get something else.

Pros: Nice heat spreader.

Cons: Installed in a Dell Precision 5530 but no post.

Pros: Fastest card on the market at this noise level. Quiet.

Cons: Expensive. Need space for radiator.

Overall Review: I think it's well established that the 1080TI is the fastest consumer card on the market. What is useful is that *THIS* is the best 1080TI on the market. The stock overclocks make it faster than the Frontier edition yet the hybrid liquid cooling system keeps the temperatures and noise level down. I don't hear the card at all unless it's really working and even then I wouldn't call it loud. I'm sensitive to fan noise and my previous 290X was too loud for my liking so this GPU was a godsend to my ears. I have no complaints about the card. If I had to change anything it would be to change the aesthetic to be more elegant, such as the limited edition Radeon Vega cards with the all aluminum shroud which to me look really classy.

Pros: Extremely quiet Extreme performance

Cons: ridiculously long expensive

Overall Review: I previously had an EVGA GTX 670 superclocked 4GB. It was an excellent card but at 2560x1440 resolution games were a little too slow for my liking. For example, Tomb Raider would sometimes dip below 30 fps. Most of all, the 670 was LOUD. I'm very sensitive to noise, especially high frequencies such as coil-whine, fan buzz, etc., and I'm happy to report that this card is QUIET. At idle you can barely hear the thing and at load it's a bit louder but not obnoxiously loud like the 670 which sounded like a jet turbine. Furthermore, the thing is wicked fast. Even at 2560x1440 it runs everything at 60 fps+, with ultra detail. My CPU is a 3770K oc to 4.2ghz, for reference. I have a Silverstone FT-03 case and it fits but I had to remove one of the cooling fan housings to get it in. I wish the card was shorter. The price is also on the high side, but I have no regrets. I love this card!

Pros: Fast 5GHZ AC speeds, capable of running DD-WRT

Cons: Netgear firmware is buggy and limited

Overall Review: I bought two of these routers when they were first released. The stock Netgear firmware provided super fast transfer speeds and unbelievable range. I could get 1300 mbs between the two routers which equated to about 50 megabytes/second transfer rate. The range was also ridiculously - I got full bars on 5G where I only got a couple with my previous ASUS RT-N66U. I missed the advanced settings that the ASUS router had though. Unfortunately the Netgear firmware was extremely buggy. The router would lock up a few times. I also experienced speed degradation over time. Eventually I was forced to use Kong's DD-WRT. DD-WRT works great once you have it set up. It's not as quick as the stock Netgear firmware and my range is nowhere near as good but at least it's stable!

Pros: Fast

Cons: Very loud

Overall Review: I have two of these drives, and one is rather quiet while the other is much louder when seeking. It sounds like an old HD from the nineties!
