Most Critical Review

Fan failed after less than 4 months

ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1070 AMP! Edition, ZT-P10700C-10P, 8GB GDDR5 IceStorm Cooling, Metal Wraparound Carbon ExoArmor exterior, Ultra-wide 100mm Fans, Spectra Lighting, PowerBoost, FREEZE fan stop
ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1070 AMP! Edition, ZT-P10700C-10P, 8GB GDDR5 IceStorm Cooling, Metal Wraparound Carbon ExoArmor exterior, Ultra-wide 100mm Fans, Spectra Lighting, PowerBoost, FREEZE fan stop

Pros: - Looks great - Has a backplate - Not covered with annoying LEDs

Cons: - Uses Micron memory, Zotac still has no bios update. - Fan closest to GPU slot failed after less than 4 months.

Overall Review: With other manufacture's cards available for around the same price I'm not sure why you'd choose this... I picked it because It looked so good with my ASUS X99 TUFF motherboard. I am going to RMA my card due to the fan not working and will update my rating based on the RMA process.

Fantastic Power Supply (When it works)

Corsair Certified HXi Series HX850i 850W High Performance 80 Plus Platinum Full Modular Power Supply
Corsair Certified HXi Series HX850i 850W High Performance 80 Plus Platinum Full Modular Power Supply

Pros: Update: 12/01/2016 I have now ordered 4 of this particular power supply: 3 worked great. 1 Fails under load. This is the second time I have had a Corsair power supply fail under load. If you purchase this power supply make sure you load test it (borrow an extra GPU from a friend if you need to) Otherwise, you might have it fail when you try to add more hardware at a later date. Old Review: Platinum rated, great modular design. Monitoring software

Cons: The monitoring software can be a bit resource intensive and the PSU kinda looks like a George Foreman Grill.

Unfortunately, I also experienced the random powering off issue.

Pros: The PSU looks great and the power monitoring software is neat feature. The PSU also includes a ton of cords.

Cons: Randomly powers off. In my case the powering off happened when between 600 and 700 watts were being drawn from the wall (according to my Kill-a-watt meter).

Overall Review: If the PSU didn't have the powering off issue it would easily be 4 1/2 *'s If you are looking for an affordable modular power supply with monitoring I would strongly recommend the Corsair HXi 850w (Item#: N82E16817139150) I have ordered 2 and several friends have ordered as well and all have been flawless. The HXi also has nicer modular cabling.
