Functional mask.

Pros: Decent disposable mask, durable enough for a few uses provided you put them on correctly. Good job of catching moisture from my lungs as I exhale.
Cons: Not magically replenishing...
Overall Review: It's a disposable mask folks, it's purpose is NOT to keep you from breathing in anything harmful, but to prevent YOU from spreading large amounts of moisture from your lungs, (how itthrough
Card Expired

Pros: None, as it tells me the code has expired.
Cons: Go to enter the code and AMD's site says it's no good.
Overall Review: Free games and all, it's not a loss. It does feel like a rip-off thought as the promotion is good till next year.
Absolutely Amazing, Baring Several Small Issues

Pros: Honestly, everything about it was wonderful, a pleasure to build in, except for the several small issues.
Cons: There are 3 thing that SHOULD have been better and it feels like they didn't actually build many test PCs before sending it out. 1st thing is the cable grommets. They are poorly pressure-fitted in place and every one of them came out of position when routing cable and are extremely difficult to fit back in place. Should have been glued. 2nd is the built-in GPU "VGA Holder" support bracket. The screw to loosen so it can be adjusted is in the back, requiring to to remove the back of the case and the slot for it is one of the fan-mount slots, very little room to fit a driver in between the fan cables, unscrew it while reaching around the front glass panel to try to lift the bracket in place with proper support while not having the screwdriver slip off the rather small screw around back. 3rd is the lack of hinges and magnetic latching with easily removable doors. Instead it's the old thumbscrews. 4th... The front USB ports are tight as heck on mine. Feels like the case might keep part of something plugged in if you aren't careful when removing.
Overall Review: This is an absolutely amazing case, the complaints above are it for me. Air-flow is phenomenal, temps with a 9800x3d and a 5080 are low enough that the exhaust feels cool even in maxed-out games like CP 2077. It's big and heavy but that is hardly a drawback
Great Mid-Range card, drivers need work but getting better

Pros: The triple fan keeps the card running nice and cool. Heck of an upgrade over my 290x. That card served for 5 years, finally showing it's age. This was a 104% improvement to my FPS in most games. The impressive thing about it is the fact that my 4690k O.C. to 4.2 Ghz is the bottleneck now by nearly 30%!!!
Cons: Drivers, drivers, drivers! It was a screaming nightmare getting this thing to work properly. Had to use DDU (display driver uninstaller, amazing program!) in safe mode multiple times along with re-installing AMD's driver suite. RGB software eats resources, certainly not not worth 10%(?!) CPU for Glowy Gigabyte logo
Overall Review: Amazing performance for the price, especially on a new build. However, if upgrading, might have a hiccup or two. Highly recommend.
Stick of RAM broke my PC... Seriously.

Pros: The RAM was in the box... Although that might actually be more of a Con than a Pro.
Cons: Killed the computer after showing a missing gig.
Overall Review: Installed the RAM, computer no longer will boot. Kept saying the PC was overclocked and to reduce frequency. Dropped RAM clock from 1600 to 1333, no change same message. Then notice that RAM check during post only shows 7gb instead of 8... uh oh. Pull the stick, replace with the old RAM and... starts to boot, dont get the overclock msg, but the system keeps going to a repair screen asking to choose my keyboard layout, except i can't select anything; wired or wireless keyboard and mouse do not respond in any way. So now my media PC is kaput from RAM. To say that I'm unhappy is a mild understatement, a stick of RAM broke my PC...

Pros: Upgrading my old rigs proc and mobo, been running a Phenom II 980 BE since 2009. The 980 is still a good proc, but compared to the beast that is the 4690k... not so much.
Cons: Aww... where is that 5Ghz on air you promised us Intel?
Overall Review: Using a Corsair H100i to cool it, and I couldn't be happier with the combo.
Good for the price.
Thin ribbon cable, fairly tough though. Lighting does not cycle, if plugged in, lights are on. Always able to find the cable, even in the dark.
Not new... Not functional.
Neither one would read a memory card, neither one is able to keep any battery life, as soon as it's unplugged, it turns off. One unit came with a gouge in the screen. Both units were obviously NOT new products.
