Most Favorable Review

Beast (Ampere aside)

EVGA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER FTW3 ULTRA GAMING, 08G-P4-3277-KR, 8GB GDDR6, iCX2 Technology, RGB LED, Metal Backplate
EVGA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER FTW3 ULTRA GAMING, 08G-P4-3277-KR, 8GB GDDR6, iCX2 Technology, RGB LED, Metal Backplate

Pros: -Runs smooth at 1440p with no OC -60-70 FPS with all setting on ultra at 1440p, no OC, for Red Dead Redemption 2 - Haven't tried the OC yet, easing into that part of the GPU. But all games run great with everything set to ultra. -There are no Cons for the actual GPU. Running it with Ryzen 3700x and Asrock Taichi x570 mobo.

Cons: - This isn't a Con for the actual GPU, but I bought the Power Link (from EVGA) to clean up the power cables and overall look, and it came with no Allen key, scratched and with no plastic coverings on the part. There are no Cons for the actual GPU. Running it with Ryzen 3700x and Asrock Taichi x570 mobo. -

Overall Review: I would definitely recommend, but with Ampere on the way, the recommendation would only be until until you can find a 3000 series Nvidia GPU in stock (and not for triple the MSRP on a certain third-party site that I cannot name on this review for some reason???).

Great MOBO, Little $$$ (but worth the $ if you have the budget for it)

ASRock X570 TAICHI AM4 AMD X570 SATA 6Gb/s ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Perfect fit for the NZXT H710i case. Has a power button on the MOBO so it made it easier when installing and testing, and I believe there's a reset button also. This is a great MOBO that i would recommend to anyone.

Cons: Nothing so far. Only thing is the $, but it it well built and perfect for the money, IMO. It;s pretty as hell too, and the back panel is so nice. SO only con is the $, but I would say if you have the budget for it, it then wouldn't be a con. I love this MOBO!!!

Overall Review: I'm not done with the set up process yet, I messed up the installation of the NZXT Z73 Kraken AIO so I'm waiting for thermal paste to get delivered, but as far the the MOBO, it's gorgeous,east to use, has good headroom in the NZXT H710i case that I put it in. I am very happy with this MOBO and would definitely recommend. All I need now is an Nvidia RTX 3080 GPU to go along with the Ryzen 3700x i put in this build (Bast) and I'll be ready to go. Unfortunately they won't be out for a while and will be hard to get one that's in stock, and I don't believe they have any pre-orders available yet, or I would pre-order it right this second. If you have the $$$, i definitely recommend this MOBO. Enjoy!
