Most Favorable Review

Excellent performance for my needs.

EVGA GeForce RTX 2060 SC Ultra GAMING, 06G-P4-2067-KR, 6GB GDDR6, Dual HDB Fans
EVGA GeForce RTX 2060 SC Ultra GAMING, 06G-P4-2067-KR, 6GB GDDR6, Dual HDB Fans

Pros: I will say that I'm an unconventional user. I'm using the GPU on a BOINC networked project. I have upgraded my PCs for this purpose over the years. I currently have 6 GTX 1060s, 1 GTX 1660 and this RTX 2060 between 3 ROG PCs, 2 with AMD and i with I7 processor. Credit wise, on my chosen project, the GTX 1060 base does good. The GTX 1660 does about twice as good. This RTX 2060 does 4x as good as the GTX 1060!

Cons: Generates a lot of heat when fully engaged, which BOINC projects typically do. Some heat to the front of the card is blown upwards through a perforated vent over the heat sink front up/card back. This, unfortunately, puts heat in front of the CPU cooler. Added heat shield (well piece of tissue box cardboard) to direct heat to side of case. Turned fans blowing air in on sides to pull air out. Problem solved.

Overall Review: Keeping an eye on pricing and my budget to decide when another RTX 2060 goes in a box for me! If I ever take a fancy to gaming, I'll be super set!

OK as second Sata controller. PC would not boot from drive attached to it

SYBA Combo USB 3.0 + SATA III 6Gbps, v2.0 PCI Express, x4 Slot Controller Card Model SD-PEX50055

Overall Review: Returned item. Would not allow my HP XW8400 workstation to boot from a bootable drive attached to card. This was the main reason I wanted the card. I wanted faster boot up and performance on primary drive. Worked OK as second SATA controller. Did not test USB connections. Appeared to be good quality. Would buy again if I needed higher speed USB or non-boot SATA connections.

Resolves issue with only 1 hdmi port on MSI GTX 1660 graphics card.

Nippon Labs 30DP-HM200-4K DisplayPort to HDMI 4K Audio / Video Converter - DisplayPort 1.2 to HDMI Adapter for DP-enabled Computers - 4K x 2K@30Hz
Nippon Labs 30DP-HM200-4K DisplayPort to HDMI 4K Audio / Video Converter - DisplayPort 1.2 to HDMI Adapter for DP-enabled Computers - 4K x 2K@30Hz

Pros: Compact size. Self powered from port.

Overall Review: Installed this adapter to my PC when received. Using with my main monitor, which has no DisplayPort connection. Other HDMI port now attached to TV for large screen viewing. Adapter may be loafing, since I use 1280 x 1024 resolution due to poor vision on my main monitor. Tested adapter with TV for sound functionality of adapter. Worked fine ! Serves my needs well.

Perfect upgrade for fog lights. Much brighter than OEM bulb.

Protekz 6000K LED Fog Light Kit for 2002-2007 Jeep LIBERTY H10 Foglight Conversion 12000LM Led Light Bulbs Kits
Protekz 6000K LED Fog Light Kit for 2002-2007 Jeep LIBERTY H10 Foglight Conversion 12000LM Led Light Bulbs Kits

Pros: Reasonable price. Shipped quickly. Well packaged. Easy to remove old bulb, insert led bulb and it works. A ggod solution for brighter light at night.

Cons: Minor physical relocation (pushed down or back) of wires behind fog light housing to accommodate heat sink / fan on back of bulb.

Overall Review: Works well in my 2007 Jeep Liberty. Should work well for years listed. I recommend this product. Should I need another set, I would buy these again.

Not usable for small fruit like grapes and cranberries. Maybe OK for larger fruits, jerky, etc.

Rosewill RHFD-19001 5 Tray Digital Food dehydrator | Large Capacity | BPA-Free | Dishwasher-Safe

Pros: Well built. May work for many uses with no issues. Controls easy to use / understand.

Cons: Fan was noisy until it ran for a few minutes initially. Guess it had to "wear in"? Took a few minutes to understand how the variable rack spacing worked. !80 degree turn of racks changes the way they stack. Bigger issue - Spacing of grid in racks is too large for smaller grapes or cranberries! My smaller grapes slipped through, with wore falling through as grapes dried! Booooo! Retuned.

Overall Review: Depends on what you want / need. Head the caution about small fruit falling through. Otherwise, I would have kept it and used as needed.

High performance, hot running card, but servicable.

ASUS Phoenix GeForce GTX 1060 6GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Video Card PH-GTX1060-6G
ASUS Phoenix GeForce GTX 1060 6GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Video Card PH-GTX1060-6G

Pros: As most GTX 1060 cards, is high performance. Somewhat less expensive than other cards of similar performance. Worth the trade off in higher internal case temps?

Cons: Dissapates heat Heat sink fan blows excessive heat to rear (front of PC) and sides, compared to other GTX 1060 cards (EVGA, PNY). Results in higher load on CPU cooler and higher internal PC case temps. Other cards push more heat out back panel of card. Maybe not issue w/ one GPU, but more than 1 might be problem?

Overall Review: Question long term service ability of card, but that's why I bought Square Trade 3 year warranty

Works as expected. Compact size fits in my netbook soft case, but is big enough to use comfortably. Gee whiz body light up when being used makes it easy to see in the dark.
