Loaded up LM Studio and had no problem running Gemma 4 26B, and Quen3.5 35B. Dramatically better performance than the B580. Perfect timing with the LM Link launch, now our humble little laptops can run the big (local) models. Quick test on Cyberpunk, near maxed out with RT on, at 3440x1440 about 70 FPS, or 120 FPS with frame gen if that's your thing. AC Shadows, Ultra Preset w/ RT on, 3440x1440, 38 FPS, or 68 FPS w/ frame gen. GPU @ 75°C RedDead2, Ultra everything, 3440x1440, 70-90+ FPS depending on location. Ran a handful of other games I had installed without issues.

Unobtrusive, lights up when the line gets funky, works with new power supplies, does the job (so far) Gives a (necessary) feeling of confidence

Works as advertised, latest version of software allows for other drives to be used instead of Synology drives, Ironwolf works great.

Works seamlessly to plug in old drives and keep moving forward.

Low power draw (300w max) along with 2 space width makes this an easy card to double up in a chassis for use with larger models.

This thing is truly amazing. Can run models up to 200 billion parameters. (Most of mine are between 70-120b, but my 24b "devstral" model is very useful for simple coding.) For a "personal AI" it's perfect. I use it to assist with sensitive client matters that I do not want to "share" with public AI services. Yes, it is brittle, but it is not hard to perform factory-restore using Nvidia's image - they have clear instructions posted and AI can help you if you need it. Be sure to use Nvidia's tool to create the boot thumb-drive. The unique hardware and driver situation makes this computer incompatible with other distros or OSes.

I was an early adopter and grabbed a b70 on day 1, it was horrible. It barely worked, pcie 5.0 would not negotiate, drivers timed out, power would drop out, performance was barely above b580 in games, the only thing that was fast was some edge case pytorch training. Even the vllm performance was not great and very limited models supported. After a few months, now in the gamer drivers in windows we get fan control and overclocking, gaming performance really is about on target with a rx 6800 xt or 9060 xt, DCS world runs great, COD Warzone with FG on 1080p XESS Native = 250+ fps. I'm sure not all issues are fixed especially on the model side with llamacpp and vllm but this is now good enough and well beyond day 1. Sure my 7900 xtx smokes it in all gaming aspects but this gpu really is faster than a 4090 in some pytorch training scenarios and 35% faster than a 5080 in bert tokenization. One of the biggest issues for daily life was the fan control on the day 1 intel version of the b70 I had. The gpu was idling 60-70c. The asrock version has the same vapor chamber as the radeon ai pro r9700 which is definitely a better GPU for AI/Training/Inference and about twice as fast gaming. Now with fan control the gpu idles at 28-30c in windows and gaming hits 58-60c with a relatively inaudible (with headphones) fan speed. 270k tuned at 185w tpp pro b70 games and workloads less than 200w Doesnt heat up the room

I decided to replace my old Synology DS414 with the DS425. It was still working very well, but after 12 years of service, I decided to replace it. I appreciated Synology's updates and exceptional stability. That's why I have no concerns about the DS425. Thank you to this company and its very reliable products.

much quicker nas than my ds223 have the option to have a warm spare quiet

Fast swap over to battery if power goes out. Excellent line conditioning. Generally unobtrusive.

- Good packaging from Newegg, just a smallish box with no branding on the outside. - Obviously it performs quite well. Will use the full 600W under load (but you can limit wattage using `nvidia-smi`). Have a good PSU with a 600W connector (not included) and very good airflow setup. - Working in Arch Linux with just `nvidia-open` and `nvidia-utils` packages.

The ports are spaced out in a way that can fit wider charging adapters Relatively compact for the number of ports USB is a bonus

Best NAS OS DSM 7.3, user friendly, robust, slick. Can use any HDD brand with DSM 7.3. Support RAID and SHR.

This was an excellent purchase. Arrived very quickly, 2 days earlier than promised. Had seriously good packaging to protect from possible shipping accident. Setup was easy. There are at UG tutorials and youtube videos to aid if you have questions. There is lots of flexibility renmixing hdd's or m2's and no brand restrictions as some other NaS brands have. I install 7TB of storage which works well for.my home LAN. After 3 weeks use of the "2800" I am totally happy.

- Easy to setup - Plenty of Support - Works on Ubuntu/Win11 easily Ollama/LM Studio - Gemma 4:26b - Flux 2
