Easy to overthink

Pros: Very easy installation! Very fast for a powerline adapter. I Installed this in a number of scenarios. Mostly in short distances which they performed flawlessly. I also had no problems from one end of my apartment to the other, which is only about 70 feet as the crow flies. I did also try to test this from my apartment to my neighbors apartment and it actually worked! However it was intermittent, slow and had me questioning the wiring of the complex... I took the kit to a friends home, who's network had to be run through his attic because powerline adapters would not work at all. With this kit we were able to get them to work, however their performance was measured under 50Mbps as indicated by a red Powerline LED light, obvious impact on intended use due to constant buffering of streaming media across the network. The real reason for this I suspect is in his homes wiring, so do keep this in mind when trying to use powerline adapters. In all scenarios it worked better than I expected.
Cons: The directions leave a lot to be desired. I did find myself somewhat confused about the setup but page 5 of the installation guide helped a lot. The information is to the T by the guide as far as my experience went, but the vague nature of the instructions leaves alot of room to overthink things. I let my wife attempt the setup and she failed miserably until I pointed her to page 5.
Overall Review: The best way I can think of to help simplify this for people is to consider it a replacement for a long cat5 cable. If it goes from an ehternet to an ethernet port, you can use the powerline adapter there. I used it between my router and modem, router and switch, switch and access point, and lastly between my switch and server. In all of these close proximities it functioned very well with no loss in performance ( other than lacking in bandwidth only in comparison to my GigE lines ). I played some Counter-Strike having accidentally left it installed between my modem and router and I noticed no impact on my gaming experience. This adapter kit has settled in its new home feeding a new Wireless access point at the extreme corner of my home.
Simple AC Router

Pros: At this pricepoint, this router is very well worth the money. It is simple to configure but still maintains a lengthy list of capabilities. I have only been able to measure wireless transfer speeds upwards of about 350mbps with an AC1750 pcie adapter The 2.4ghz range as I see stated in another review is quite surprising.
Cons: The shape is the only thing I didn't like about this router. Its small and light which are fine for hiding it. Some may find the shape nice, however I couldn't fit the device in the shelf I wanted it to go in.
Overall Review: I have this router in a setup consisting of only a single ASUS PCE-AC66, AC1750 pcie card. Mixed mode results in some inconsistent speeds. Unleashing all my devices, ranging from laptops with 802.11b restrictions to the asus AC1750 cards resulted in some very spiratic latencies and speeds.
Works as intended.

Pros: Works with retail and xeon CPUs. Memory limits go with cpu.
Cons: Cant figure out how to get cpu to hit max boost under single core load. No big as it seems to run fine.
Overall Review: E5-2698v3 16 core and 4x32gb ddr4. Gtx 980 ti. This machine records my streams for YouTube.
Works perfect!

Pros: Will be using GTX features such as NVENC. loaded with 3d load regardless to tes and its good.
Cons: older card but no worries, only needed a feature.
Overall Review: older than I wanted, but it only needs to encode video. Funfact, GT cards have a decoder only, GTX have encoder and decoder.
WHAT A VALUE! INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCE

Pros: I can barely stand up. This is the most exciting paste in all of history. For the low low price of 1x.xxUSD, I got by weight, like 89g of paste. It also holds up to some subzero temps, pulling in a beautiful -162c load temp on RTX 3090 KPE. Still crack testing paste.
Cons: NONE.
Overall Review: Next time I will get the toothpaste tube. There are some lines of seperation within the paste that id liek to be able to work out, and a squishy container would make this easy. Happily, this option exists.
WORKS AMAZINGLY WELL for price.

Pros: Great vibration, heating effect is very quick.
Cons: Does not match measurements as states. After the steel rolls into the tub its nearly half an inch less in every dimension, and then down into the top it further tapers down, I would say closer to 10.25" on the longest direction.
Overall Review: I can still shove half of the pcb im cleaning in this thing so its working okay for me. I just wish it would have fit this PCB perfectly as I had ordered based on measurements.
TITAN RIG
The product is always great from KPC, however titanrig awlays pulls through for availability.
Always fast!
Its titanrig. Ordered TGE overnight once cause I ran out, it was legit here in the morning!
