Pros: 8+4 pin power options (for serious overclockers, albeit I'm not one of them) WiFi option, should I find myself without a wired connection Rock solid stable thus far

Cons: Being forced to upgrade to this only a year after building my Ryzen system (see other comments)

Overall Review: I bought the Gigabyte X370-Gaming K7 last April, and had intermittent issues within a month or two. The RAM compatibility wasn't really a concern, as I knew with Ryzen being a new platform that it would take time for them to work out all the kinks (which was eventually resolved). Unfortunately, I would come home occasionally and find my screen blank and that my system was completely unresponsive. This was intermittent enough that I couldn't narrow down the cause (save for my drives and my video card, all parts were new). I'd hoped that newer BIOS updates might fix it, but ultimately it never got resolved to my satisfaction, and on a few occasions it even hard locked on my while playing games or just using the computer regularly. Not wanting to be without a computer for weeks to RMA it - and not wanting to replace my board with the exact same one, given the problems I was having - I decided to wait until the new X470 boards came out and upgrade then. So far, everything is running rock solid stable and nary a hiccup. I have no complaints about this board, and would highly recommend it. It's what I had hoped the X370 Gaming K7 would have been.

Pros: Decent price, small size, solid construction. It's a pretty well built tablet, and doesn't feel flimsy.

Cons: Touchscreen: Doesn't always respond when pressed. Sometimes I have to tap several times, before it reacts. Swiping works OK, but pressing can be problematic. Though, it could be my big fingers getting in the way. I have not tried using a stylus, yet.<br><br>Responsiveness: Sometimes lags when launching programs.

Overall Review: I really want to like this. Until the wireless issue arose, it's been a great little tablet overall, in spite of the aforementioned cons. I don't actually use it for much, which is why I was pleased to find this one for the price I did, but it's starting to grow on me. *EDIT* (2-1-2016) Well, after finally figuring out how, I've decided to update this review with my experiences to date. I RMA'd the first one back, and received a replacement. Not only did the new one have the exact same wireless issue, but the touchscreen was iffy and would sometimes work, sometimes not. I RMA'd it back yet again, and the third one hasn't even been opened. I suspect the wireless issue is related to the update, as the first thing I did with both of them was install the system update from the manufacturer. The quality of construction is still good, so I won't give them 1 egg, but I'm definitely dropping them to two. As for the third one, I'll probably sell it. Or not, depends on if I want to inflict those issues on another person. I'm instead running a nice Android 5.0 phone, and loving it. It's too bad this didn't work out, but them's the breaks.

Pros: Cheap, good sound, solid battery

Overall Review: My current car doesn't have a stereo in it, so I use these when driving longer distances to listen to music off my cell phone.

Pros: The price is decent, comes with a variety of bits (although I already had plenty of those) and recharges through a standard micro-USB cable.

Cons: Grip feels a little off, doesn't extend down far enough for my hands. Lacks a torque setting for stopping when it hits resistance. Doesn't come with a USB wall charger, only the cable. When using the magnetic extension, there's a noticeable wobble in extender (in my opinion, it moves around a bit too much when just running). Also, the green charging indicator could be brighter when it's fully charged. It lights up fine when actually using the drill, just not so much during charging.

Overall Review: My Skil driver lasted me for around 13 years before finally giving up the ghost. It was definitely superior to this one, but it also cost significantly more (six times what I paid for this, though that was for both a cordless screwdriver and cordless ratchet wrench). For the price, I'm fairly satisfied with it; as a stop gap measure, if nothing else. I'll likely replace it with something better down the road, but this is cheap enough to have as a standby replacement.

Pros: Speed, efficiency, cores So far as speed goes, I have absolutely no complaints. While the 7700k may have a slight advantage in single or lightly threaded games, the difference is not enough to justify going with Intel over AMD, in my opinion. And in several games, Ryzen still has a lot of overhead available, if the game could just be optimized to take advantage of it. Regarding efficiency, AMD may have been mocked before for running hot (which I never experienced personally, but regardless...), however now the shoe is on the other foot, and it's Intel that runs hot comparatively. I know that AMD did make power efficiency part of their core focus when designing Ryzen, and it definitely shows. Also Ryzen chips have the heatspreader soldered on instead of just using TIM, like Intel does. No need to delid a Ryzen (and you couldn't, even if you wanted to). What could I say about cores that you don't already know? It's the cheapest 16 thread CPU on the market, but without sacrificing performance. I'm still not entirely sold on SMT (or Intel's HT, for that matter), but I'm willing to give it a shot.

Cons: Launch was a bit rocky, due to a lack of proper CPU AGESA code from AMD, which led to less than desirable RAM timing issues. I still have my 3000MHz RAM only running at 2666MHz (though admittedly, I haven't tried again after the last BIOS update). Fortunately, most motherboards should already have a BIOS update to resolve that.

Overall Review: I replaced my FX-8370 system with this about a month ago, and I don't regret it one bit. While my previous system wasn't really giving me any problems (I only game at 1080p anyway), I have to say that my performance in the one online multi-player game I run has improved significantly. I went up several levels in just the first week or so of switching to Ryzen, when I was stuck at a fairly low level for months before that. I will say that for most people, the 1700 - or even the 1700x - is the smarter choice. All three of the Ryzen 7 chips are essentially the same, save for base clocks speeds (3.0, 3.4 and 3.6 respectively for the 1700, 1700x and 1800x) and the lack of automatic XFR clock boost on the non-x 1700. If you're willing to manually OC, then the 1700 makes the most sense budget-wise, as some people have been to push it to 3.9GHz. If you want to let Ryzen automatically OC, then there's not a huge difference between the 1700x and the 1800x, apart from the maximum turbo/XFR boost speeds. Having said all that, I knew that ahead of time and do not regret buying my 1800x in the slightest.

Pros: Longest lasting power supply I have ever owned Durable and sturdy, I've never had a single hiccup with it 8 1/2 years and still going strong No modular cabling

Cons: None. Some have mentioned the lack of modular cabling as a con, but I consider that a plus.

Overall Review: I realize there's really not much point in making this review, since the power supply is off the market forever (unless you pick up a second-hand used one, which I would highly recommend if you get the chance). I'm mostly posting this because I want to show my gratitude to the engineers who designed this beast of a PSU. I bought this 10/17/2008 and it has been running 24/7/365 ever since (almost 8 years, 5 months to the day). Despite living in an area without the best power, despite having a few occasions of the power getting abruptly shut off while it's running and despite it's extended age, this power supply has never once failed me or disappointed me. If there's any downside to it, that alone would be it, because the lifespan of this means the company didn't get as much revenue from replacements and thus got bought out. Even though it's still working, I'm finally replacing it (I bought a Seasonic 80+ Titanium 650WT that I hope will last me just as long), not because there's anything wrong with this PSU, but because I wanted a brand new one for my Ryzen build. In spite of that, this PSU will still live on in this system, as I'm going to sell it exactly as it is. Who knows, maybe it will last the new owner another 8 1/2 years. I know I certainly wouldn't be surprised. In way, I almost feel like I'm giving up an old friend. I guess that makes this my farewell.
