Pros: Quiet and sleek custom HSFA(Heat-Sink and Fan Assembly). Wish waterblocks looked this good. Full RPM is ~25dBa in an open-air chassis. I have radiator fans louder than that at full RPM. I can hear it, but it's the quietest noise producing thing in my system. Like the R9-290X version, the XFX logo lights up bright pure white. It's also stainable acrylic, so if you use some colored marker, you can get whatever color you want. Be very careful with such a mod though. Not only will it likely void your warranty, but you'll go nuts if you apply too much. I do wish it was RGB LED backlit with an optional USB internal header to change the color in software. Performance is grand. As long as I don't crank the AA to absurdly unnecessary levels like reviewers do, I can get 60+ fps in any game tested thus far. That's just without high AA; everything else maxed out at 1920x1200 which is 10% more demanding that 1080p. Albeit this is at my OC settings of 1100/5500. The highest I've achieved stable on the XFX HSFA is 1165/6000. I'ld link to my Firestrike benchmark, but that's not allowed. So take my word for it when I say I got 11411 graphics score with this card at those settings. I still get higher than a stock Titan at 1100/5500 though, so I'm quite pleased. Some few games in beta like Lichdom will have occasional artifacting at anything higher than those settings, hence why I keep it knocked down. OH! Almost forgot, the peak temperature DELTA is 60 Celsius. So if my ambient is 20C, it's 80C, and that's while running OCCT's furmark. I don't see more than 55C delta in games of any kind. Looking forward to seeing what it can do on water.

Cons: My only, and I mean ONLY gripe is with those two screws on the IO bracket. They are pan-head. Which can conflict with some cases like mine. Fortunately, I yanked the countersunk screws that should've been used from my former card, and applied them in place of the pan-heads. Here's how you can tell if they will conflict: If the IO bracket mounting holes in the PC chassis have metal directly above or below all the way to the surface of the slot, check that it's not more than 1mm thick. Even then, you may have to remove the screws to slot it in, then put the screws back in after.

Overall Review: Reference model uses counter-sunk screws. All other brands I've checked use counter-sunk screws. Why at least this card comes with pan-head screws instead of reference/standard counter-sunk, is pretty much a complete mystery. However, that's just the admitted picky side of me. I won't let my subjective opinion influence my rating.

Pros: No off-center decal sticker on the hub... I guess CM knows how bad it is and doesn't want the recognition for it...

Cons: Very low RPM, airflow, and pressure, all while being very audible. Not due to turbulence from the impeller, but because there's an audible hum from the motor. Top that off with not having a pass-through header for the RGB; it's an end-point in the RGB chain. There's only 4 RGB lights in it with enough separation between the colors that you can distinguish the colors, so forget about white, yellow, orange, purple, pink, turquoise, or cyan. You'll see the individual red/green/blue that makes those colors. Oh and the frame isn't a flat square. This leaves massive air gaps around the frame causing back-flow and drastically reducing what little pressure it already has. Performance-wise there are better pressure fans for $5; a fifth the price.

Overall Review: So... what's going on CM? Your QC is pretty bad in 2017... Care to step it up? Like... to a professional minimum?

Pros: Very affordable. Great for racing and flight sims. No dead pixels. Decent HDR.

Cons: Blacks tend to bleed/ghost a lot. There are some bright spots around the edge when screen is displaying pure black.

Overall Review: If you like racing and/or flight sims, and this is about 75% or more of your budget for a monitor, then it's a solid choice. Can't recommend much else that isn't already using the same panel.

Pros: Metallic Silver aesthetic. Looks white or light grey, but it has the metallic paint effect even in the PCB.

Cons: *breathes deeply to stay calm* Mystic Light is (subjectively; I'm awaiting response from FTC for validation) false advertisement. This product is advertised as having Mystic Light functionality. Mystic Light is advertised as having FULL RGB control and a full-range of at least most of the common effects including but not limited to; color cycling with X number of colors in the sequence; addressable LED detection, but does not affirm whether or not you can create your own sequential effects like many others now offer; multi-color support in general in the effect of having more than one color showing on a per part basis; and the list can go on. What Mystic Light does offer is a selection of 7 individual colors. This motherboard only does white though. I've tested all the other colors and the 4 available effects. This motherboard's LEDs (the ones that Mystic Light applies to; there are still unchangeable red and green LEDs scattered across) will only show white and do follow the 4 available effects. These effects can further be modified by two more "extended" effects as they are called in the software. No other customization exists. Memory support is underwhelming too. Do check the QVL list and search by the specific SKU/MN to verify performance expectations. There are very few kits that can reliably hit that memory speed sweet spot for Ryzen on this motherboard. Most of MSI's competition offer much better support, and RGB functionality. Let's also not forget that the VRM is sub-par for the high-end X370 tier. It's more than capable of supporting good overclocks compared to other high-end options, but it will never truly match them on a per-chip basis due to the relatively lower voltage stability in the VRM compared to others.

Overall Review: MSI, real talk. You used to push a focus on the quality of your power delivery and stability/durability with both your "Military Grade, X-Power, and Lightning" branding. Using a VRM that can be found on the B350 Tomahawk that also doesn't compete with the level of quality and performance of your competition (objectively; this has been proven elsewhere) does not live up to the standards of the "X-Power" branding you've created for yourself. You're not in a position to start slacking since you're not the current market leader. This is a setback for the quality consumers expect of the MSI brand.

Pros: Solid and flush with the surface you mount it to so it works well with fans that don't have flat square frames to remove their pressure loss due to the openings around their frames. Super bright! As bright per each of the 12 LEDs as most high-end cellphone flash LEDs. Pictures don't lie at all; the entire impeller of any fan you face these on will be lit bright as day.

Cons: No silver (bare aluminum) version as was shown at CES or whatever tech show they were revealed at.

Overall Review: I want the bare aluminum version. Phanteks, please! Don't make me spray paint these...

Pros: SO BEAUTIFUL!!! That brushed aluminum shine is absolutely stunning! Oleophibic (oil resistant) coated too! #mindblown Performance is amazing too! Double the overall performance of an RX580! This single graphics card hits the top 10% of all benchmarks in Firestrike! WOO! I wish liquid cooling blocks looked this good... arg!

Cons: Ah... fan profile is too weak by default. You can safely double the RPM and it's not loud at all. Full RPM is hairdryer noise levels, but that's so very overkill and keeps it well under 70C at full load. 70% seems like a decent sweet-spot maximum.

Overall Review: Hey Newegg... maybe aggregate reviews for the same model of product into a "similar products" category so reviews on discontinued products aren't rendered completely irrelevant?
