Most Favorable Review

Works as expected. Great deal when I bought it on sale. Very Quiet.

Pros: - Quiet - Works as expected

Cons: - It did not come with a check for $1,000,000 from Ed McMahon.

Great Product, AMD's Finest by a great Board Partner

GIGABYTE Radeon RX 5700 XT GAMING OC 8G Graphics Card, PCIe 4.0, 8GB 256-Bit GDDR6, GV-R57XTGAMING OC-8GD Video Card
GIGABYTE Radeon RX 5700 XT GAMING OC 8G Graphics Card, PCIe 4.0, 8GB 256-Bit GDDR6, GV-R57XTGAMING OC-8GD Video Card

Pros: Much improvement over the stock cooler (I have both, in two different systems, and both by Gigabyte). Run with automatic auto clock that boost up to 2130 95% of the time. Cool and quiet in my Lian Li TU150 with a Ryzen 3600.

Cons: -Did have a lot of black screen issues early on with new driver updates. -Using DDU to uninstall drivers and reinstall from AMD website. The drivers don't seem to overwrite themselves very well during updates, and need a full forced uninstall if you start getting black screen video card crashes.

Overall Review: -Stylish Clean Looks, cool and quiet with massive cooler design. ( love that is massively outsizes my ITX components.) -Will continue to use Gigabyte for my graphics card needs. I have never had a hardware related problem with any Gigabyte graphics card that I've owned.

It is what it is.

Pros: - Bought this specific item number to match the stick I already had. - No issues two years later.

Cons: - none.

Great Product - Needs keyring holes at both ends for more flexibility.

Corsair 64GB Survivor Stealth USB 3.0 Flash Drive (CMFSS3B-64GB)
Corsair 64GB Survivor Stealth USB 3.0 Flash Drive (CMFSS3B-64GB)

Pros: - Works as advertised. - Air and water tight (you can hear the seal *pop* every time you open it.

Cons: - I would like to have keyring holes at both ends. so that the cap was secured to my keyring and I could remove the drive so that my keys and their weight were not hanging from the dongle.

Samsung quality for Samsung cost.

SAMSUNG 970 EVO M.2 2280 250GB PCIe Gen3. X4, NVMe 1.3 64L V-NAND 3-bit MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-V7E250BW

Pros: - Works as advertised. - Great read/write times compared to HDD, and saves the space in my ITX portable gaming/CAD-CAM rig where airflow is at a premium.

Cons: - Did not come with a $1,000,000 check from Ed McMahon. - Probably could have gotten a similarly spec'd drive from another respected brand and avoided the Samsung tax, but it was well-worth the few extra dollars in my case for peace of mind in a professional rig.

Great step up from what I had before.

Pros: - Works as advertised. - Budget friendly.

Cons: - THe 8GB of vram is worth it if you have the money, but not a game breaker if this version saves you the coin.
