Nice Board

MSI P35 Neo2-FR LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard
MSI P35 Neo2-FR LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Ordered this board as an upgrade for the wife's machine. It came with all of the necessary cables and such. The copper cooling system is nice and accented the ZeroTherm cooler well. She doesn't want anything over clocked (stability fanatic) but the cooling system really does the job and there is plenty of chip set thermal headroom if I can finally talk her into it. Dropped an E6750 and a pair of Crucial Ballistics on it and had no problems from boot 1. Not sure why some others are having so many issues.

Cons: None really.

Overall Review: Definitely not an enthusiast board by any means but does have some OC options. Nice mainstream product and constructed really well. would recommend this board for those not trying to take the 3dMark0X record but want a solid well built board.

Seller went above and beyond

GIGABYTE AORUS GeForce RTX 3080 XTREME 10GB Video Card, GV-N3080AORUS X-10GD (REV 2.0) LHR

Pros: Bought card in 2021. Developed stability problems while under load and had issues completing RMA. PC Power stepped up and handled the situation like real pros.

Overall Review: Card failed, it happens. PC Power made it right when it counted.

Impressive performance at a really good price point.

Pros: This AIO was selected because we needed a LCS to support a Sckt 1200 (125w) Xeon 10-core. We installed the pump and set the rad up in a push/pull config. This allowed us to load the CPU (all cores) down completely @125% clock speed and remain stable, overnight. Thermal utilities registered a high temp of 84c under full load, in a 24 hour dataset conversion (which comparatively speaking was outstanding).

Cons: Some who value form over function (i.e LCD panel on pump, ARGB fan control or other trendy gimmicks) may be dissatisfied with the "look" of this unit, but it performs above expectations in every workload scenario to which we have exposed this cooler.

Overall Review: This AIO-LCS has impressive performance, with a very minimalist look. If you want bright and flashy then you should keep looking. You want a quality 240mm cooler that will keep your CPU stable without all the "fluff"? This should be on your short list.

Stunning find at this price point....

Pros: Screen was flawless. Bezel had a small scratch. All ports in seemingly unused and excellent condition. The display quality at native is very good. No issue with text clarity across all the fonts I checked. All parts promised were included and the system arrived very well packed and protected.

Cons: The only "con" I can think of is that NewEgg dropped the price by 30.00, less than 48 hours after I bought it. however, this will not affect my "egg rating" for 2 reasons: 1. As soon as I noticed the difference and spoke to NewEgg, they gave me the difference (under their Price Match policy) with zero resistance and in the form most convenient form for me. 2. I would have been just as happy with getting the monitor at the original price. The price match refund was just a happy accident noticed when looking the monitor up, to recommend to a friend.

Overall Review: This is an awesome deal, if in the market for a low cost 2K IPS-based display.

Exercise in AWESOMENESS

EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 FTW GAMING ACX 3.0, 08G-P4-6276-KR, 8GB GDDR5, RGB LED, 10CM FAN, 10 Power Phases, Double BIOS, DX12 OSD Support (PXOC)

Pros: - Card arrived as promised, in great shape, at a great price (kudos newegg) - Packaging is 1st class. This could have shipped in the retail box and arrived well protected. - Installed card with no problems. No driver (or any other issues) experienced. - Im pretty sure I heard a choir of Angels sing when I hit the power button.Then, the Logo lit up and I definitely heard them. - The performance is astounding. I loaded Doom, maxed the rez (1900x1200 -1440p mon next), set the profile to ultra and started the game. The first demon I shot in the face (super shotgun FTW), exploded in a red mist that I literally moved my head to dodge. 10 minutes later they found me outside, hot-boxing a cigarette, speechless and covered in goosebumps.

Cons: - No SLI bridge included - C/mon guys.... you coulda threw in one game to show off the 1337ness. :)

Overall Review: -When they play Doom in Heaven, this is what they use. You should too. You wont regret it.

Nice RAM

Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model BL2KIT12864AA804
Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model BL2KIT12864AA804

Pros: This RAM runs great. It easily does the 44412 timings, at the rated speed, and stays cool. It was able to handle a decent OC with a bit more voltage but still stayed cool and stable. The heat spreader works well with proper in-case airflow. I've never had a problem with Crucial chips so none of this is really a surprise.

Cons: not a one

Overall Review: 99% of all stability issues are due to the moron at the keyboard. Don't knock Crucial and NewEgg because your IQ is at the low end of two digits. If you dont know what you are doing put on your helmet and special shoes and go find a window to lick. NewEgg you are awesome, don't sweat the window lickers.
