Most Favorable Review

A Good Upgrade

EVGA GeForce GTX 1660 SC ULTRA GAMING, 06G-P4-1067-KR, 6GB GDDR5, Dual Fan, Metal Backplate

Pros: Fast. Directx 12. Two fans for cooling. Not overly large.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: I was upgrading from a 750 GTX so you could have given me a microwave oven and called it a graphics card and it would have been better than what I had. This card allows me to play those newer games that brought my 750 GTX to it's knees.

Most Critical Review

Wasn't able to set up

AMD Xbox Game Pass Gift

Pros: Can't say any pro's as I was not able to set up this service.

Cons: Due to some weird quirk with the AMD program that justifies if you have the correct hardware installed, which didn't work (repeatedly) I am unable to verify that I meet the required needs to get the code for the 3 month subscription.

Overall Review: I can't honestly say yay or nay to this so it is what it is.

A Good Cable

Pros: Long. High gauge cable. Got it on time and in perfect condition.

Cons: The cable is a little stiff but other than that a great purchase.

Overall Review: I would definitely re-purchase again. I moved my computer further away from my main monitor and this fixed the problem.

Works Perfectly

Pros: I had an old ide hard drive that I thought had gone out but thought i would give this a go. Glad I did as it was the hard drive enclosure that had gone out. This was simple to use and now I have my old hard drive with the information on it still intact.

Cons: None yet.

Overall Review: This was an inexpensive way to check the integrity of a hard drive. If you're unsure if a hard drive is still working or not this may help.

Good Power Protection

BELKIN BE112234-10 10.0 Feet 12 Outlets 3996 Joules Surge Protector w/Phone/Ethernet/Coax Protection

Pros: Many plugs in different directions so your not always saying "I need one more plug". Long cord.

Cons: I truly wasn't expecting it to be made of plastic, but other than that: no cons.

Overall Review: I has a nice long cord to get to the areas you need it most. Plenty of choices of different angled plugs so you're not blocking much needed plugs. A great product so far, so great that I bought two of them.

PRETTY

CORSAIR Vengeance RGB Pro 32GB (4 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 DRAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model CMW32GX4M4C3200C16

Pros: The lighting by far is what attracted me to this memory. Well that and the brand name. I had just bought a new Headphone set by Corsair and am loving those, so I switched the brand that I had on my wishlist to these and I couldn't be happier. The ICUE software recognized these modules and included them in the software for ease of changing the color pattern or what not.

Cons: I have absolutely no cons on this memory.

Overall Review: I would highly recommend this memory for anyone who wants a little light and color in their PC. Latency may not be the best. Speed is pretty good.
