1 Week review

Pros: - On sale for $199 - 2 free games - Runs stable, and MSI afterburner makes it simple to overclock or play with fan settings. Have not tested yet, just explored the software a little. -Very low coil whine when under load. -Good packaging
Cons: -Runs warmer than a lot of other cards, but this is common for Radeon cards.
Overall Review: Experienced games not responding when clicking on other monitor, would hang up for 5-10 seconds after going back into the game. Cause ended up being plugged into 12-2 V rail instead of the 12-1 V rail. Swapped this and no issues since. Saw nothing about this in the manual for the card or power supply. Did not dock it since it was my fault and no harm was done except for an hour of confusion.
1 Week use

Pros: -Got it on sale for $110 -On board wifi -easy to navigate bios -supports ryzen 2600 out of the box -easily runs 3200 ram with a couple clicks
Cons: ONLY USB 3.0. If installing Windows 7 you need usb 2.0 or PS/2 mouse or keyboard to interface with a clean windows 7 install. Works with mouse and keyboard out of the box, just wish there was a USB 2.0 for legacy reasons.
Overall Review: Was about a 4.5 but due to no USB 2.0 (has a PS/2 but almost no one sells it in stores nowadays) i went with 4 instead of 5 stars for legacy reasons even though Microsoft is the main culprit.
1 Week use

Pros: -Performance for the price and a free game. -Runs cool with a 212 evo on it.
Cons: none
Overall Review: -heat sink came with thermal paste already on it and I put my finger right in it when taking it out of the packaging. Didn't matter anyways since I was putting a 212 evo on it, just wanted to see what the free one looked like.
1 Week Review

Pros: -Fully modular with plenty of plugs for everything in a mid range computer. -LED switch for on and off. -Anti vibration silicone edges. -On sale for $50.
Cons: Would have preferred a single 8 pin or single 6+2 pin for the GPU but both 6+2 plugs have 2 sets on each wire which I can't hide anywhere. Most are like this now however.
Overall Review: Only issue I had was I didn't realize the 12-1 V rail was for the GPU and the 12-2 for the CPU. Had this backwards and caused games to hang up when I was on my other monitor (dual screens). Swapped them after I learned that the 12-1 V rail has a minimum supply amperage to it while the other rail didn't. Swapped them and no issues since.
Works Great

Pros: Works great, long battery life, and the dpi change on the fly is great since my girlfriend always complains I have mouse sensitivity too high.
Cons: For some reason it does not work with certain battery brands (too large I believe). I had Rayvac and it would not work with these or my off brand rechargeable batteries. For this reason I took off an egg because I don't like buying more batteries when I have a ton already.
Overall Review: This mouse is more sensitive than others when it comes to a smooth surface for use. Any piece of dirt or dust (I stress any) will cause problems with movement. This is an easy fix though of just wiping off the desk so no eggs lost.
