Wow Great HTPC Card
Pros: Passive cooler, 1gb ddr3 ram, HDMI with 7.1 surround sound, PCI express 2.1, dx11. This little card has so much. I bought this for an HTPC build and i must say it fits the bill perfectly. No noisy fan! I was using the video that comes on the motherboard but this smokes that. Glad i upgraded. easy install. drivers from ati worked great first time.
Cons: None!
Overall Review: THIS IS NOT A GAMING CARD!!!! If you are thinking of buying this for gaming, save up your money and get a faster card!!!
Not Worth it!
Pros: Silent Operation.
Cons: Hard to Install!! Bad design I feel on the way it attaches to the motherboard. Built many machines and used many different cpu cooling fans before and never had such a hard time attaching a CPU fan to a motherboard. Once attached it didnt cool any better than what was on it before. infact it was a little worse.
Overall Review: I have not owned this for very long but it does not take long to come to a conclusion on a product such as this. I would try something else first. I have already ordered another fan from newegg to replace this one. I wanted a silent running fan and got it but at the cost of performance and ease of installation. Again not worth it.
Great with my Asus X470-F Strix motherboard!
Pros: Fast, and stable. No RGB!!!!!!
Cons: None
Overall Review: Great and stable at 3600! At first I didn't know how to get it to 3600. I was stuck at 3200. Then found in bios where to get it right, and presto 3600 speeds! Nice! I would have been happy at 3200 since I like stability over absolute speed but getting what you paid for is nice. I will buy another 16gb to max out my system since I keep my computers for a long time. Thanks G.Skill!
Replaced my old 3570k cpu
Pros: Fast, cheap, used to update my x470 bios so I can buy an AMD 4000cpu in 2020 or 2021. Then I'll put this in a htpc.
Cons: None
Overall Review: Great little CPU. Fast and runs cool. Plays all my games in 1080p with ease. I have this in a Asus x470 Strix with 16gb memory and a Nvidia 1660. Nice little system
Upgrade for my Acer Aspire Desktop
Pros: I purchased an Acer TC-885-UR19 computer and wanted to put a new 1660 Nvidia graphics card in it. So I had to upgrade my power supply unit. the unit in the computer was only a 300 watt unit and did not have a cable for a graphics card. I know Seasonic makes great power supplies and wanted a gold rated or above unit to help keep heat down since the case is so small. This was another reason I bought this power supply. The size is smaller than an average power supply, and the same size as the unit it was replacing making it a perfect fit. the installation was pretty straight forward. while handling the new power supply you could tell the difference in quality from the power supply it was replacing. the cables are plenty long and again very high quality. the connections were firm and tight. I have owned many other brands of power supplies over the past 20 years, and have to say this is the nicest one yet. There is no sound that I can hear coming from this unit too. the unit came well packaged in first rate packing materials and with all the cables you could ask for. I would buy this Season is all over again.
Cons: none
Fantastic after syncing Controller!!
Pros: Tons of Channels!!! Streams wonderfully! Fast operation with Roku's new menu system.
Cons: This unit looks like it wont ever get Youtube. Also Not a bad thing but controller wasn't synced right out of the box. After reading instructions and getting the remote synced (all of 30 seconds) the device works great!!
Overall Review: Great little streaming player!!! came packaged well and easy to setup. I run this using wifi and it works great! I have DSL 10mbps download and I never see a buffer screen ever. PLEASE READ MANUAL TO GET YOUR REMOTE TO WORK IF IT DOES NOT WORK OUT OF THE BOX LIKE MINE DIDNT. EASY TO PAIR IT WITH THE ROKU BOX. TAKES SECONDS TO DO.
Fast and perfect
Item was as described and fast shipping.
