Silence!

Pros: Runs cool and quiet.
Cons: Had to purchase a bundle to get it.
Overall Review: Although this thing is massive, it fits good in my H510 case. Takes up 4 slots but who cares, it runs totally silent. Running overclocked it never gets higher than 60c in this case which is pretty good.
Meh

Pros: I got this with a bundle. It's a decent mobo with lots of features and decent layout. Once up and running it worked fine.
Cons: The onboard display port would not display on first boot. I had to dig out and older monitor and use the hdmi connection to get it up and running. Once Windows 11 was loaded, the onboard display port would only do 640x480 on my Asus monitor (couldn't find a fix, maybe it's an issue with this mobo and my older Asus gsync monitor). 2nd issue was that my M.2 drive was not recognized until I updated the bios. Once the bios was updated it still wasn't recognized until I put it into the 3rd slot. 3rd issue was that XMP showed showed the correct memory speed/timings but that's all it did, lol. I had to manually set up the memory to run at the rated speed.
Overall Review: Would I buy it again? No. Do I regret buying it? No. Once setup it's a decent motherboard.
Wait for next gen.

Pros: Roughly the same performance as my 7700X
Cons: Roughly the same performance as my 7700X
Overall Review: Underwhelmed with the overall performance compared to a 7700X in the games I play.
Ginormous GPU

Pros: Fast. Gets over 28k in Timespy. Runs cool and quiet, but that should be expected since it's using the same cooler as the 4090. 400w power limit is a plus.
Cons: This GPU is massive. I'm not a fan of the power connector or the included adapter either, which is too short to hide anywhere. LEDs are lame.
Overall Review: Tight squeeze into my NZXT H510 case. Cannot close the side panel until I either get a 90 degree power adapter or just upgrade my case.. Installed without any issues, Windows 11. I run a 1440p 240hz monitor and this GPU is a good match for it.
Better than I thought it would be.

Pros: Easy install. Led connectors plug right into Asus motherboards. Used on an I7 11700k and ran cooler than expected.
Cons: None
Overall Review: I got this with a bundle and am impressed with how it works and looks. There's lots of competition out here in this price range though. I'd recommend this if you've got an Asus mobo. No regrets.
Decent card for the price

Pros: Not a bad card for the price during these times. Runs cool and pretty quiet.
Cons: Plastic back plate. Guess it's better than no back plate at all... Although I listed the price as a pro, during normal times it should be a con.
Overall Review: Good alternative to a 3060 with similar performance and it's available right now at a half way decent price.
