Pros: It does everything I suspected it would. Simple design with a backplate that doesn't trap heat. Using MSI afterburner , I was able to overclock this card to 1370core/2000mem. This was not pushed to the absolute limit. At these settings , and with proper airflow , the card sits at 58c when 100% stress testing. My ambient room temperature is 70f.

Cons: none so far , will update if anything develops. So far it's well over double the performance of the HD7850 it replaces.

Overall Review: I chose this card for the price , and the design of the backplate. It's a simple card with no bells and whistles. Plug it in and go. With a fan blowing across the middle of the card, The backplate will act even more as a cooling device as it has vent holes across most of it , allowing the air to enter the sides , and exit where needed. As long as it lasts , this will be the budget card to beat.

Pros: Looks great. That's what I bought it for , fell in love with the appearance , and failed to research. The finish is excellent , actually. The front is totally flat with a slight brushed texture. Great IO up top on the front , and if you stick a high-gain wifi adapter in there , it looks like a droid . The window is simply brilliant , just swing it past 45 degrees and lift up! Boom , you're cleaning your PC. The bottom PSU compartment is under the glass , so you can do a little display trickery , like leave a small LCD display behind the door. The cable management is surprisingly OK in this case.

Cons: Airflow , Airflow , Airflow. This thing has almost ZERO airflow from the vent holes on the side front. The vent holes aren't lined up with anything , so there will be no direst channeling of air to the actual fans. I dremeled a giant square in the front , and slapped on a magnetic filter. It worked , but the fans on the bracket behind it are not symmetrical , so any RGB will look silly. I managed to mount a 240mm rad in the top , but it took wiring voodoo magic to hook uop the 8-pin. And you will be crossing your fingers the wires don't somehow crack . and short on the cooler. They simply should've made the case just slightly wider.

Overall Review: It looks so good , I didn't do any research , just pulled the trigger. If you like the "ice cube" texture , then please get the mesh-front version of this , you won't regret it. It's extremely sturdy , built out of a thicker steel then some more well-known brands. Every edge is done well , no cuts installing anything.

Pros: Used it for about a year , got my RX 5600XT , and slapped this into a rig for my son. Has worked with zero problems since first installed.

Cons: Wen through a spot of seriously c-rappy driver that nearly made me abandon AMD. they finally fixed issues.

Overall Review: It's a decent solid card , just cross your fingers the idiot software engineers don't screw up what's working for job security again.

Pros: Great RAM. It went into my somewhat cheap Dell 3585 , and the APU graphics bumped up enough that I play Ark on it. With appropriate settings , of course. I'm old-school , so it's still quite a treat to slap RAM in their slots , and the stuff just works. no fiddling or troubleshooting.(unless you like fidgeting)

Overall Review: It's RAM , it does exactly what it's supposed to do.

Pros: Great stable wifi. 4-pin and 3-pin ARGB headers. SATA ports lined up with the GPU slot are turned 90 degrees so you can actually use it. I haven't tried , but it's supposed to support the 5000 series , I'll update. Looks decent ,It's got "some" cooling on the VRM , works well enough for a moderate overclock. Dragon Center software isn't quite as cringe as I first thought , slight learning curve.

Cons: The BIOS could be easier , but I haven't gotten completely used to it yet. The BIOS just simply doesn't handle the XMP settings for this particular RAM. (Crucial Ballistix) Could use a couple more fan headers , but nothing a fan hub can't fix.

Overall Review: Overall , there's some tradeoffs on a board that's extremely affordable for what you get. It's been stable since I hit the power switch. It screws down to the standoffs exactly correctly. (some manufacturers flub this) I haven't owned an MSI board in 20 years , and coming back , they have the same quality as always. It has a second x16 slot , but with most double4-slot cards , if the card is actually slightly more than double , you're not using the second x16 slot , period. And the small PCIe slot is just laughable. But that's almost every single mATX board there is.

Pros: It does exactly what it's supposed to.It stays reasonably cool.It has red LED letters on the side , which fits my tastes quite nicely.Drives most games above 100 FPS with medium to high settings. Some games more.

Cons: 1.Barely overclocks , I'm not dealing with it , as long as it works.2.Bethesda games have no idea it's a graphics card. No fix in drivers , or gams as far as I know.3.The first couple sets of drivers drove me absolutely nuts. The setting to wipe the old driver completely needs to NOT be freaking optional.

Overall Review: In the end I've supported AMD since the ATI days , you know , back when the drivers REALLY sucked. It's going to take some major changes for me to give up on them , but this latest set of driver issues was close. Now I wipe drivers every single update , haven't had trouble since.
