it works, but it's got too many wires

Pros: It seems to work, price was unbeatable.
Cons: Too many wires and the options for orientation of their connection is limited. Any way I face it the wires are either blocked by heatsinks or memory. I had to buy a right-angle adapter for the usb-c connection. I think it also requires software to be installed to manage it. No thanks. The screws that connect the fans to the radiator are a bit short to connect the radiator and fans through your case, although it can be done, it would be nice if they were a couple mm longer. I think It's meant to connect the fans directly to the radiator and then radiator connects to case because they provide seaparate, shorter screws for that.
Overall Review: I'd recommend buying this if you can get it at a good price like I did, but if it's priced similar to like-products in the market, I'd go with something else.
low rating is for purchasing experience, not for product

Overall Review: As an electronic delivery purchase, delivery should be instant, or at least on the order of minutes. It took a couple days to get my key.
it's fast, price was right

Pros: no unnecessary blinky lights
Cons: it's huge. didn't fit inside my case, had to buy a new one.
Overall Review: this card was the least expensive 5090 I could find, only five hundred over MSRP, directly from newegg. much better than paying a scalper.
works with asus intel z890 board despite v-color support saying it's not compatible

Pros: it works, even on an asus z890 intel board
Cons: couldn't get it to run at full speed with 2 kits (4 sticks) on the board at regular settings. I'm disinclined to tinker with overclocking settings to get it to work with all 4 sticks at full speed. If you really need something faster, buy a kit with a higher speed rating and underclock it. I've got mine running at 7600
Overall Review: I bought this because it was the only kit I could find with 32GB / DIMM at 8000MHz. It works as advertised.
it lasted a while but was unstable

Overall Review: Eventually stopped working. It never ran entirely stable while I owned it. I'm not sure what warranty was on it but I didn't want the hassle of dealing with it even if it was still under warranty. I didn't want to get another board that was going to keep crashing. My research shows that the first gen of LGA-2066 boards weren't properly designed for the power demands of these processors and as a class (all brands and models) were generally prone to failure and instability. If you're going LGA-2066 I would suggest getting a newer board.
10 Gbps at a decent price

Pros: great price, works well
Cons: drivers weren't automatically installed from windows update, had to use included/downloaded drivers
Overall Review: I would recommend this. Also it works plug + play on hackintoshes.
AWFUL
I can't say enough bad about my experience with Dell. They supposedly shipped the item and I never received a tracking number. I finally emailed them to inquire and they gave me a tracking number. The tracking information said the shipper hadn't even received the package yet. I emailed their customer service again to ask about this and they replied telling what I already knew instead of answering my questions. I called their customer service number and talked to at least 7 people and none of them helped me resolve the problem.
mostly good
called them with a question about product after ordering, was told that they would call me back and that never happened.
