Great chip.

Pros: Using this for mostly gaming. No complaints. I got this while waiting for the 7800x3D but after using it for a few months I really see no need to drop additional cash on the 7800x3D. It's maxing out my monitor on what I play. So I'll sit tight with this and see how the 8000 series chips are next year and maybe pull the trigger on that down the road if there's a benefit. Temps are good in an sff H1 with -30 offset. 60s gaming. No issues on framerates on all the games Im playing. Productivity stuff I use doesn't push this chip at all. So no complaints.
Cons: None. It's doing everything I want for a good price at good temps.
Overall Review: Good temps, good framerates, and doing everything I need it to do.
Great GPU

Pros: Fantastic GPU now that they're below what AMD initially wanted. Fits great in my sff H1. Ran LOU (free with purchase) at 4k ultra without a problem at good framerates for me. Looked fantastic, although the game itself was a 12 hour one and done walkthru snooze fest. Cooler on it is good for the use, runs around 65C temp gaming. No need for some 4 slot monstrosity on this. No power spike issues on my 750 psu. Card simply runs, and runs well. Love the Adrenalin software cause I don't have to have to login to use gpu control software for hardware in my own system. Pound sand on that Nvidia. You simply cant beat Sapphire quality. It works, and it works well.
Cons: Just waiting on FSR 3...
Overall Review: Sure, the XTX is faster, but for the price of this card now, it is doing everything I ask of it for less money.
No issues at all

Pros: Runs just fine and has everything I need. No memory issues. Boot times are fine. Hasn't fried my CPU. Getting good scores all around. Cant complain at all. I knew going in I would just get rid of the M.2 fan entirely and use a passive cooler so that's what I did. No temp issues at all with WD Black sn850x. Got it for $20 off, so was a good deal considering the alternatives for AM5 itx. Looking at you ASUS.
Cons: None that impacted me from what I wanted this board to do.
Overall Review: No need for the higher priced ROG stuff right now. Just get this and do your thing.
Exactly what I needed

Pros: Delivers exactly what I needed and then some... greatly improves the sound quality vs. the stock speakers on a 46" Samsung LCD. Didn't want or need full surround in this location. Very simple to set up... Simply unpack, plug in 2 power cords, and one 3.5 stereo to RCA adapter, did a minor volume adjustment on the sub, and it all sounds great. I was actually surprised with the sound quality. Even the wife was happy!
Cons: None... did some research, knew what I needed and this fit the bill perfectly. No issues or complaints at all.
Overall Review: I am running the sound bar using the headphone jack on the TV. Works great as the TV volume bar shows the volume level. No need to mess around with programming the remote this way either.
