It's a beauty!
Pros: - hits that 1440p/144hz sweet spot with ease - cool and quiet - solid and quality built all round - pictures look good but even better in person - cool lighting options or just turn it off - Almost a 2080Ti, very little between them
Cons: - pricey - heavy - larger then it needed to be
Overall Review: Very pleasantly surprised by this big, beautiful beast. Has been significantly faster than my 5700xt, around 30% in most cases. Which is just about what I needed. The cons are nit picking other than price relative to other models. I really don't see any so far. The performance for the price is still pretty remarkable. Out of the box it runs a cool 60 degrees under full load, quietly. Very high to ultra still hitting my frame limits. SOTR, Warzone, Cold War, The Forzas and so on. I wanted an RX6800. I don't anymore. This is much cheaper and fast enough. More than 8gb of memory isn't required for almost any games and only @4K where it is. Easily compensated for with little sacrifice if encountered at all. Unless you need a lot of workstation VRAM not a problem. This isn't a 4K card, though it'll do it pretty well too. This really is the perfect 1440p high refresh rate card. Very pleased so far. It beats the 2080S and trades blows with the 2080Ti, beating it at times. Very cool.
Ryzen above the rest
Pros: - Great at everything - Nice generational improvements again - 8 cores 16 threads - Not too hot - Still includes a good cooler
Cons: - Really none
Overall Review: Wanted a 5600X or better, though impossible. Grabbed this great CPU for now. Though I wouldn't recommend the upgrade. Noticeably better than the fantastic 2700X all around. AMD is just killing it! Looking forward to Zen 3 at some point, but this thing is amazing bang for buck.
As good as you'd ever want
Pros: - Great layout - Tons of headers, RGB, fan, USB, etc - Fantastic construction and design - Overkill VRM and power - X570 like with no chipset fan
Cons: - No wifi - Less pci-e 4.0 lanes than X570 - A lil pricey
Overall Review: Fabulous board, looks, design, power and quality wise. Only time can say otherwise. Everything most could ever need on a board, with some to spare. Better than most other B550 boards and many X570s. Anything it doesn't have I won't miss nor would I pay extra for. Highly recommended.
Beautiful and silent
Pros: - powerful, smooth and fast - silent, never goes over 60 degrees - all titles ultra 100+ fps 1080p - looks great, design and construction(materials) top notch
Cons: - only one, 3 displayport 1 hdmi though not a biggy. Rather have 2 hdmi. Most RTX have this config
Overall Review: - Highly recommend
Stunning and powerful little package!
Pros: - clever and unique design - decent cable management - efficient and quiet cooling - small form factor - many options and highly upgradable
Cons: - no memory card reader - more precise colour control of the mystic lights would be nice
Overall Review: On sale, this is a no brainer! Not really a big LED flashy gamer guy, but this thing is cool! Buying at least one more for a build. Put the i5 6500, 16 gig of DDR4, 256 M.2 SSD, 1TB 7200 spinner and an 8 gig msi armour RX580 on windows 10. This thing rips through everything! Top notch 1080p anything all day! Will probably review this rig and my msi optix 31.5 monitor setup in a vid soon. Yes I would recommend this product.
Great product! Not as large or heavy as many other wireless headphones. Easily lasts the 6 hours of playtime, respectable. Only con so far would be. That at low battery the voice keeps chiming in to tell you, rather than letting you just enjoy your last 20-30 mins of music. If there is a way to disable this please let me know.
Solid product and as described
- modular design for custom config - tons of room - looks like it should last, time will tell
