Another WD win for me

Pros: It's a WD that works just like it's supposed too. Using in my HTPC setup currently.
Cons: It's a little slower than the Black WD drives I have, but I expected that.
Overall Review: Been using WD exclusively since way back when Maxtor dropped their 3 year warranty. Never had a problem with WD, only one RMA ever, and they were great with it.
What was AMD thinking?

Pros: Nice speed for the price.
Cons: The HS fan that comes on this is a total piece of garbage. I would highly recommend you buy an aftermarket fan that does not sound like a leaf blower. I would like to know how AMD engineering would remotely find it acceptable to use a fan that is almost exactly as loud as a vacuum cleaner. I'm highly disappointed by this, when the fan spins up I can hear it running in the next room, I cannot for the life of me imagine an office full of pc's with this HS fan. If you enjoy wearing ear muffs while using your PC then this is the HS fan for you!
Good Mobo

Pros: Setup was ok, beware if installing Windows 11 it will not recognize the onboard WiFi to join your network. Thankfully I had an old USB adapter to continue installation with.
Cons: I've been building PC's since the late 90's. I expected more from this board on the software side. Installing the chips drivers was like getting in a Delorian and going 77 mph. Having to download and unzip all the files just to get audio and wifi setup was annoying. Although I don't mind a trip down memory lane, this would be frustrating fir anyone new to PC builds. I expected more from a ROG series. Also if your getting older like me the front panel pins are not color coded, (my eyes aren't as good as they used to be) the black PCB makes for even more of a challenge. I would purchase this board again, maybe with more updates to Win11 the onboard hardware will be recognized.
Overall Review: The board is a little bit more work than I expected on the software side. I would purchase again. ASUS do better! Always been an ASUS fan, but other vendors have more fluid software setups.
Great Bang for your Buck

Pros: Comes with heat sink, comparable to my 13th Gen I5. Works great paired with a 2050 video card.
Overall Review: Would buy again.
Works as intended

Pros: Popped in MB and it works great.
Overall Review: Would purchase again.
Another Home Run from Newegg

Pros: Card is not overly large and bulky, fan quality and heatsink are nice.
Overall Review: I upgraded my sons PC from a 750TI to this card, huge improvement as expected. I have this paired with an AMD FX Bulldozer chip and 16GB of RAM, all components I bought from NewEgg years ago. Still playing COD, Destiny, FFonline etc with this machine. Good deal for the price!
