Most Favorable Review
Intel Core i7-920 - Core i7 Bloomfield Quad-Core 2.66 GHz LGA 1366 130W Processor - BX80601920
Intel Core i7-920 - Core i7 Bloomfield Quad-Core 2.66 GHz LGA 1366 130W Processor - BX80601920

Pros: I can't find anything to run 100% of it's CPU. Even unreal tournament 3 can only take up about 25%.

Cons: Really hot, you need a good cooling machine or you'd have some heating issues.

Most Critical Review

not good

CENTON moVex Red 2GB MP3 Player 2GBMP3-003
CENTON moVex Red 2GB MP3 Player 2GBMP3-003

Pros: 2GB Space, can drag and drop. no wires needed to connect to computer

Cons: -eats up batteries more than the cheaper mp3 player i bid off e,bay which looks exactly the same as this one. - the cap covering the usb came loose within a few days

Overall Review: It's not something to show off to your friends. It's just something that plays music. Look at the other people that paid hundreds of dollars for an ipod and this plays music just like an ipod. Sure, it's harder to see what the next song is, but you save lots of money for not knowing that.

Works

ASUS DUAL Radeon RX 6700 XT Standard Edition 12GB GDDR6 Gaming Graphics Card (AMD RDNA 2, PCIe 4.0, 12GB GDDR6 Memory, HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4a, Axial-tech Fan Design, 0dB Technology) - DUAL-RX6700XT-12G

Pros: Works out of the box. Great for 1440p gaming.Updated from previous review:Low Temps. Fan doesn't turn on when idle.Upgrading from MI 5700 evoke and I can see a difference in games like Overwatch. A big difference in Quake Champions. I actually got first place for once instead of being near last.

Cons: Long Card... I had to move things around in my antec 900 case to fit this cardEven with 256 bit memory, it's not as good as previous generation for mining (as of 3/25/2021). It's around 13% worse than my MSI 5700 evoke. Maybe with time, they will update scripts to support 6700 XT.Updated from previous review:the packaging is filmy and is difficult to reuse. There was unnecessary plastic stickers on both sides of the card and it took like 5 minutes just to remove it... They used their own patented packaging and there was no anti-static bag. I prefer the anti static bag... easier to use.Coil Wine. The temps are usually below 70 (It's spring and it's around 70F room temperature). The fan has coil wine at medium to high speeds.

Overall Review: You must connect both 6 pin and 8 pin for this GPU to work. I tried with just 8 pin and was wondering why there was nothing on my monitor... After 30 minutes of making sure everything is working, I decided to try and connect both power slots and that made it work.

Hassle to redeem

AMD Gift - Xbox Game Pass For PC (Redemption Expiration Date 06/30/2020)
AMD Gift - Xbox Game Pass For PC (Redemption Expiration Date 06/30/2020)

Cons: Hassle to redeem the coupon. It kept telling me that my coupon code has already been redeemed. It took me around 2 hours to fix it.

Overall Review: To solve the "coupon code has already been redeemed" issue, when you download the AMD verification tool DO NOT open it from your browser. Install it by double click it from the location you've downloaded it. At first, I thought it was stupid, but I tried it and it worked the first time.

Pros: Great Picture. No dead pixels. Screen size proportion is perfect for the height of my room.

Cons: It doesn't play movies directly from a USB stick. You'd have to use a laptop or HTPC to open movies.

Diablo III PC / Mac Game
Diablo III PC / Mac Game

Pros: Graphics, story line, and movie scenes.

Cons: The game is boring once you beat it on normal. Afterwards, there's just no point in playing. Nightmare, Hell, and Inferno is the same thing as normal but harder. This is a waiting game. When you die, you have to wait up to 30 seconds to respawn. When you use skills, you have to wait up to 2 minutes to reuse the same skill. It's a waste of time. Boring game. Not worth $60.
