Overall Review: Handles all my overclocks no matter if it's the GPU, CPU and RAM, completely silent no matter the load, looks beautiful and comes with a carrying case for cables. Really nice presentation for a premium power supply. Best used in PC cases that has no PSU shroud or PSU shrouds that showcases PSUs. I have 0 complaints and highly recommend it if you want a high quality power supply with ARGB to make your PC standout.

Pros: + Fantastic price-to-performance with insane efficiency + The best-looking Hellhound to date from Powercolor + High clocks at 1080p reaching past 3140 MHz + Can be flashed with AMD Radeon 9070 XT BIOS + Very cool under load and rarely past 60C + 3 fans and doesn't take 3-4 slots of space + Pulls only 230W during intense sessions + Ray Tracing performance is great + AMD FSR4 works wonders

Cons: - Wish it looked cooler with more RGB but that's subjective - Unboxing presentation was lackluster and disappointing

Overall Review: This is one of AMD's best 1440p gaming graphics cards and takes less power than the XT variant. But the XT variant offers more performance so it depends on what you're looking for and what you can afford. If paying more for the XT variant is out of your budget, you will not be disappointed with the non-XT variant. It plays Cyberpunk 2077 at 1440p 60fps (AMD FSR4 Quality) with graphics set to the max settings and Ray Tracing set to Psycho. It's truly an impressive card for the price and power efficiency. I highly recommend it.

Pros: + AMD Expo profile ran without a hitch + Low 1.250V with low temperatures + Lots of overclocking headroom + SK Hynix A-dies + Temp sensors

Cons: - Price could had been better but it's much worse now with shortages - Timings could be tighter but I understand playing it safe - Aesthetics is very bland with just a big V and that's it - At this price point RGB should be included

Overall Review: V-Color is legit, and they got fantastic RAM kits that are priced lower than their competition. I was hesitant at first because I never purchased RAM from them before. But my worries were put to rest immediately when AMD Expo ran flawlessly at the rated 6000MT/s CL30 profile and the A-dies were indeed from SK Hynix. If you can find them at a good price, get them immediately before they're gone.

Pros: + Great features and priced lower than competitors + Great motherboard design and aesthetics + Customizable onboard RGB lights + PCIe 5.0 x16 for GPU fps boost + AMD Expo ran with no issues + Tons of BIOS OC options + Generous of USB ports + Troubleshooting LEDs

Cons: - Arrived with older BIOS version 3.25 instead of 3.50 - SSD ports placement annoyance if using 2.5-inch SSDs - BIOS menu can be complicated for newbies

Overall Review: If you plan to get this motherboard, I implore you to download and install the latest BIOS version 3.50 if it's not already shipped with it. This will potentially avoid voltages going beyond recommended specs at stock settings. As you can see in the HwInfo64 screenshot, the voltages all seem normal and within recommended specs. I will update this review if it still fries the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X but so far so good. It has great features for the price and looks beautiful. The CPU and GPU are running at stock and the 2x16GB RAM is set to rated AMD Expo speeds of 6000MT/s CL30.

Pros: + Will hit an all-core boost of 5.450 GHz often + Low temps and low power consumption + Doesn't bottleneck the AMD Radeon RX 9070 + Handles AMD Expo at 2x16GB 6000MT/s CL30 + iGPU to help troubleshoot graphics card issues

Cons: - Will reach 88W on heavy all-core workloads - MSRP of $279 USD is a hard sell - No X3D cache - 6 cores

Overall Review: I'm coming from AM4 to AM5 and the difference in performance is substantial. AM4 would rarely reach the advertised boost clocks of 4.750 GHz all-core. But on AM5, it hits the advertised boost of 5.450 GHz frequently with low temperatures and watts. It's really impressive to be so efficient and still deliver blazing fast performance. If you can find it priced at $204 USD or lower, it's a no-brainer at this price range for gaming. C NOTE: Cyberpunk 2077 screenshot was taken at 1440p maxed settings, Ray Tracing set to Psycho and locked to 60fps with AMD FSR4 set to Quality. The Last of Us Part II screenshot was taken at 1440p Very High preset.

Pros: - Cyberpunk 2077 at 1440p 88fps on Ultra Preset - Plays some games at 4K 76fps Ultra like Horizon Zero Dawn - Ray Tracing at 1440p 60fps High preset in Ratchet & Crank: Rift Apart - Operates quiet and cool with temps averaging mid 50's - 16 GB of VRAM for High-Ultra quality 4K textures - Only needs two 8-pin connectors - Cool dragon backplate - Epic Red Dragon LED - Metal backplate

Cons: - Ray Tracing performance is generally subpar - Red Dragon LED only lights up red - Shroud is made of plastic

Overall Review: The Powercolor Red Dragon AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT does not disappoint. It gets my nod of approval for blazing-fast 1440p gaming. It operates cool and quiet even under heavy load and it never reached above 70C during the most intense and graphically demanding games. It even features a cool dragon on the metal backplate and LED. Speaking of the LED, the Red Dragon only lights up RED for obvious reasons and it can be turned off via the onboard switch. But I would've liked it if it gave you more options like being able to select different lighting modes like pulsating, blinking, spiral, etc. I would recommend this graphics card to anyone who wants great rasterization performance at 1080p, 1440p and even some 2160p on select games and settings. If you're looking for cool, quiet and fast gaming performance, look no further than Powercolor's Red Dragon.

+Shipped next day with FedEx +Free shipping +Product arrived in mint condition +Inserted a Thank You card +Added bonus affiliate deals/discounts -Product arrived 6 days later Great experience with Monoprice but I really wish the free shipping wasn't so slow. I'm glad to finally have my product delivered but taking 6 days to arrive was a bummer. I hope they provide faster shipping options next time. Other than that, they ship fast and package the item well with air pillows. Monoprice gets my recommendation so don't hesitate to buy from them here.
