Most Favorable Review

Whenever you can get a gtx 1080ti for under $1000 its a great deal...welllllll...its better then over $1000

GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 11GB GDDR5X PCI Express 3.0 x16 ATX Graphics Card GV-N108TGAMING OC-11GD
GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 11GB GDDR5X PCI Express 3.0 x16 ATX Graphics Card GV-N108TGAMING OC-11GD

Pros: It's a 1080ti, it goes like a hummingbird on redbull, nuff said.

Cons: Like every other Gamer on the planet, its overpriced, not by the retailers but by the cryo hounds...yes, I'd love it to have been $600 but what's the point of a speedy card if you wait one year for the price to fall?.

Overall Review: This does what it says on the box, there is zero bottleneck on it, my dell 27" 144mhs, 1ms monitor can handle it maxed out and spine tingling quality..Thankfully I didn't mind the white/yellow cover as my system was always going to have a few colors in it. it is going to be a render hound and perhaps a couple of games but I have a ps4p for most of that...but it might also see some VR/IR in the future too and perhaps a second and third dell 2716 monitor (when needs must).

Most Critical Review

One of the two failed after 4 months.

G.SKILL TridentZ Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 4000 (PC4 32000) Desktop Memory Model F4-4000C19D-16GTZ
G.SKILL TridentZ Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 4000 (PC4 32000) Desktop Memory Model F4-4000C19D-16GTZ

Pros: Fast..DDR 4000......what more to say?

Cons: One one the simms failed after just 4 months, thats an expensive failure as i was only using for 2 to 3 hours a week...yes, only about 50 hours of use...pathetic.

Overall Review: Not worth the risk, better slower and longer living.

6 billionth review....it goes like a hummingbird on redbull...what evlse needs explaining?

Intel Core i7 8th Gen - Core i7-8700K Coffee Lake 6-Core 3.7 GHz (4.7 GHz Turbo) LGA 1151 (300 Series) 95W BX80684I78700K Desktop Processor Intel UHD Graphics 630
Intel Core i7 8th Gen - Core i7-8700K Coffee Lake 6-Core 3.7 GHz (4.7 GHz Turbo) LGA 1151 (300 Series) 95W BX80684I78700K Desktop Processor Intel UHD Graphics 630

Pros: Its fast, very fast, I feel like installing windows 3.11 and designworks just to see it in its glorious blur.

Cons: Well thanks to intel for that one, the patch for the mess loses you what could be 10%, the only benefit is it takes the same away from all the other intel's so it stays on top of the heap. Fix your chips thermals too...my machine can handle it (air 740 with 7 ml120 fans) but why should anyone even have to think of delidding to get the temps down?...you're intel, you should have that rule number one owned.

Overall Review: It is fast, with a setup made to match it and cooling to keep the second rate thermal paste under the lid working it does what it says on the box, I can max out the graphics on any game and run nicely at 144mhz, it is the gamers chip of choice but mine is a render hound too...it was chosen for both purposes, there are better render cpu's but they suffer badly when asked for game duty. It intel can fix its bugs and frankly pathetic thermals that would be nice, maybe even keep the warrantee going when we need to de lid it to bring it to real speed but we all know that wont happen...its sad that a tech company would be so lax at almost the most simple of tasks....I know it was rushed to market thanks to AMD and it ryzens but that's no excuse to give a cheap paste thermal...that for the want of something decent could take 20% off the max and for an 8700k it would have been nice.
