BEST SELLERS

In Server & Components

It's a quality product that works with Power Factor Correction power supplies. It's not a truly pure sine wave unit, but, nobody really needs that anyway. You just need one that works with a PFC power supply and this unit will while other ones may or may not. The smell while undesirable is merely a short term nuisance that will quickly go away with a week or so of being out of the package and bag. You don't even need to put it in a well ventilated place. Just stick it somewhere (bathroom w/o shower for me) and it will stop smelling soon enough. I plugged it in and got everything set up finally and it works as expected. I was a little surprised to see even with a large amount of items plugged in with my computer running a stress test maxing the CPU & GPU it only consumed 333 watts of power. This is with an i56600K and a GTX 970. So you can sort of use that as a reference to determine how much power you need. My GPU consumes a little over 100 watts of additional power when going from idle to max performance mode under a stress test.

Best price for the vRAM and tokens. Best power efficiency/lowest waste heat for the performance. A single standard PCIe 6+2 power cable port that won't set your house on fire. Workstation grade radial cooler for long life and teardown verified quality thermal compounds instead of the cheap stuff. Half the vRAM chips are on the back with the same thermal pads as the front chips. Rear plate is cast aluminum with thermal conductive coating with sufficient heat spreading. No thermal issues seen in stress testing benchmarks so far. The card is designed to have up to 4 cards stacked tightly together in a machine with air inlets on both sides and rear spine with the power cable. Best AI entry level card for Windows only users to explore AI with Intel's official app in a turn-key setup that will download supported models and tools like Comfy-Ui dialed in for the platform. Nvidia charges 4600usd for the same user experience out of box with a little more most won't care about unless they are building machines for a molecular biology research lab or self driving cars. Official Linux support plus a recent announced vLLM partnership to expand support among other open source initiatives with an energetic user community contributing to code bases. Good for Plex/Jellyfin home theatre PC with dual hardware video encoders that can encode more HD streams at the same time than anyone else if you know how to leverage it or SRIOv. A viable alternative to Nvidia and his cousin who is the CEO of AMD. (the duopoly is real)

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.

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

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

Small footprint easy startup Cant beat the model size capability for the price currently.

Absolutely fantastic card all around. I'm both gaming and doing AI workloads with this GPU. I'm also using 2 of them in parallel on vLLM and it works great.

-Supports mirrored raid. -Lot of applets to sync with cloud storage. -Web UI is easy to use. -Set it and forget it. Mostly. -Supports multiple users. -Has a fan to keep drives within safe operating temps.

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

Works as expected

I was impressed with the good reputation this unit has. I have had poor experience with a competitor’s brand, and after seeing this unit in many professional offices, I decided to give it a try.

Room for everything, usb ports are great
