Most Critical Review

Decent vidio, weak mic

Pros: Video is good enough for Zoom conferencing.

Cons: Mic works, but is very weak. When the camera is at conferencing distance, the mic can hardly hear anything. Input volume set to 100%, recorded a few seconds of meeting, speakers way up (too loud for anything else), playback: I can hear a weak something.

Overall Review: No. Half Usable for conferencing.

Runs well out of the box.

EVGA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER BLACK GAMING Video Card, 06G-P4-1061-KR, 6GB GDDR6, Single Fan
EVGA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER BLACK GAMING Video Card, 06G-P4-1061-KR, 6GB GDDR6, Single Fan

Pros: Runs well, not overclocked. 10200-10300 on UNIGINE Superposition medium. Top T about 65C. Average fps 77. 4 on the 1080p medium leaderboard there using GeForce 1660 Super. They’re 7900 – 12000, and all running Windows. Some are overclocked.

Cons: Beer not included.

Overall Review: Would recommend or buy again. Tiny improvement: put +12V AUX power facing along the length of the card, not along the short dimension. There's plenty of room in a standard ATX case for this thing.

Excellent processor

Does the job.
