Most Favorable Review

Great PSU

Pros: Quiet, well built, switch between multi and single rail, and the cords are not too stiff.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Bought this to replace a Bitfenix Whisper M. It powers my 5070ti and 5800x3d with no issues. Chose this model for the dual 12v-2x6 cords and the ability to switch from multi to single rail. Likely the best gpu on the market.

Great Graphics Card

Pros: Very fast graphics card, great for overclocking (at 1165 core and 1600 memory with much more room to overclock), temps don't go above 50c normal use and 80c under load even with overclock, fans turn off when in normal use so don't let that freak you out, runs just about any game with close or completely maxed settings at 1440P!

Cons: Just a few small things like: Gta 5 crashes if I have v-sync on but that's a driver problem, big graphics card but it is rather small for an r9 390.

Overall Review: Great graphics card! This is perfect for 1440P gaming, I tried it on a 1080p monitor but my i5 3570k was the bottleneck, so games had a little stutter. When I moved to 1440p gaming, the graphics look better, didn't have to change any of the graphics settings, and the games ran even smoother than at 1080p!! I would recommend overclocking a little though, a small overclock does wonders for this gpu. 1440p seems to be the sweet spot for this card, so if you need a great, cheap monitor, check out the acer g257hu, I bought it and I couldn't be happier! Only setting I changed on the monitor was turnig off the OD setting. Besides that, the two of these work perfectly together! I switched from a gtx 670 to this and my fps essentially doubled in each game.
