Most Favorable Review

Quiet 1440p powerhouse

GIGABYTE WINDFORCE GeForce RTX 4070 12GB GDDR6X PCI Express 4.0 x16 ATX Graphics Card GV-N4070WF3OC-12GD

Pros: Quiet, fast, and cool. Also uses the traditional 8-pin PCIE cable.

Overall Review: No RGB on this, not even the logo and Im good with that. This upgraded a 3060 Ti FE and the difference is astounding. The 3060 maxes out gameplay at 1440p and this card idles through at high settings. On ultra settings, the fans finally kick in. I got around 200fps in Forza Horizon 5 in ultra high settings and RT to have the fans hum quietly. Minecraft renders distant horizons very fast. Im very pleased with this card.

Great, low-power motherboard

Pros: - Smaller than most M-ATX - M.2 storage - NGFF wireless - 1 power cable - Passive cooling - Expansion opportunities

Cons: - Wireless card options are limited - An x4/x8 PCIe slot would be preferred

Overall Review: Great motherboard from ASRock. Noticeably quicker than previous generation SoC motherboards. Using as an office PC, streaming videos, and tinkering running Debian 12.

Easy. Lighting effects look good too

Cons: RGB software isnt great.

Overall Review: I like it. My only complaint is the software. LEDs come on when the pc is plugged in, even if the pc is turned off. Have to turn off the LEDs from the software before shutting down.
