Most Favorable Review

Great performer, a bit wider than expected.

EVGA GeForce GTX 1660 BLACK GAMING Video Card, 06G-P4-1160-KR, 6GB GDDR5, Single Fan
EVGA GeForce GTX 1660 BLACK GAMING Video Card, 06G-P4-1160-KR, 6GB GDDR5, Single Fan

Pros: Easy install in a PCIe slot Nvidia driver software seems stable (download only, no driver disk is included) Much more responsive than my previous GTX-460 card 4K capable

Cons: Card is wider than expected

Overall Review: I'm not sure if I missed the dimensions of the card on Newegg's website, but the card actually covers 3 slots as the fan shroud protrudes well past the mounting bracket. It wasn't an issue in my install, but it could be if you don't have the open slots to accommodate the extra width. Other than that, it seems to be a big step up from my GTX-460 I had been using for years now. Oh, and I'm not a gamer, I use this for CAD applications and needed the extra GPU processing power to speed up my workflow. For this I'm very happy with the results. I did run into an issue when first installed, my PC would hang on the BIOS screen. (its an older build but works well for my application) After some searching online, I learned my mobo BIOS needed to be updated. I downloaded the current BIOS (v3.1) from the ASROCK website and that fixed the hang on boot issue.

Not Reliable

WD Red Plus 4TB NAS Hard Disk Drive - 5400 RPM Class SATA 6Gb/s, CMR, 64MB Cache, 3.5 Inch - WD40EFRX

Pros: Competitive pricing for 4TB drive Quiet Low power consumption

Cons: Unreliable Horrible customer service from WD

Overall Review: I purchased 2 of these drives for a music server with the intent of setting up a RAID 1 configuration (mirrored) to protect my data. In less than 24 hours of use, one drive died and the second drive is starting to show errors. If you are installing these in an application that requires a reliable storage solution, it's best to look elsewhere. As for Newegg, being I waited to install these past the 30 day return window, I could not return them to Newegg for replacement. However, the customer service rep was more than helpful as she stepped me through the WD returns process over the phone to ensure I could return my drives under warranty. As usual, Newegg support gets 5 stars.

Poor quality control. Avoid at all costs.

Pros: None worth noting.

Cons: Poor quality control, supplied end cap screws were not threaded. Interface board did not recognize the hard drive. Thankfully, Neweggs customer service is first rate, so I'm not out the $$$ I paid for this unit.

Overall Review: Would not recommend this unit to others.

Exactly as Described

Were shipped the next day after my order. Ordered these as a replacement to my well used Shure 840 cans, which broke after less than one year of use. Not impressed with their build quality at all. The AKG's sound very comparable but appear to be much better constructed. Will see in the coming months how they stand up to everyday usage in a home environment.
