Most Favorable Review

Really great PSU with all standard interfaces.

Rosewill Quark Series 750W Full Modular Gaming Power Supply with LED Indicator, 80 Plus Platinum Certified, Single +12V Rail, Intel 4th Gen CPU Ready, SLI & Crossfire Ready - Quark-750
Rosewill Quark Series 750W Full Modular Gaming Power Supply with LED Indicator, 80 Plus Platinum Certified, Single +12V Rail, Intel 4th Gen CPU Ready, SLI & Crossfire Ready - Quark-750

Pros: - Fully modular - All cable sockets are standard ATX connectors so replacement cables are pretty easy to build/find. - 80+ Platinum in a sub 1000W supply - Just black. It's not covered in a bunch of branding with it's own colors.

Cons: - The cables are stiff and don't look very good. If that matters to you.

Overall Review: If you want a good, power supply that will run your rig, doesn't throw off the look of your build with its own opinionated branding, and doesn't make a lot of noise - this is for you.

It's the card you want. No really. It is.

Pros: I got mine yesterday, and after a few agonizing hours sitting at work wanting to put this through it's paces, I started throwing games at it. It handled everything easily, never got above 55C, ran completely silent a lot of the time, and - when the fans did kick on - it was still really quiet. - Under normal PC use and even some gaming the card runs completely silent. - Never managed to push this card anywhere near its limit playing games in 1080p and the few games I played supersampled(rendered above 1080 then scaled down) didn't push it either. - Best price/performance of any of the 1070 variants. - The orange accents. Personal preference, I know, but I like orange. - Runs quite cool, even under load.

Cons: - I feel like Gigabyte missed out by not making the orange accents RGB LEDs since not everyone likes the orange and there are people like me who have setups that mount the GPU so the side with the fans is visible.

Overall Review: I would absolutely recommend this card to anyone looking for a new graphics card. It's powerful, runs between silent and quiet, stays cool, and looks great. Seriously, unless you *need* a different looking card for your build, or need the extra oompf of a 1080 for your triple 4K surround setup, you want this card.
