Most Favorable Review

Perfect.

ASUS Dual NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 MINI OC Edition Gaming Graphics Card, PCIe 3.0, 8GB GDDR6, HDMI, DisplayPort, DVI-D, for Intel NUC 9 Extreme Kit, Intel NUC 9 Pro Kit and Small Chassis (DUAL-RTX2070-O8G-MINI)
ASUS Dual NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 MINI OC Edition Gaming Graphics Card, PCIe 3.0, 8GB GDDR6, HDMI, DisplayPort, DVI-D, for Intel NUC 9 Extreme Kit, Intel NUC 9 Pro Kit and Small Chassis (DUAL-RTX2070-O8G-MINI)

Pros: Small form factor, great price and good performance. 1080p Ultra settings on everything I throw at it. high benchmark scores on userbench when factory OC'd

Cons: Temps are high, but whiten spec. I get up to 81c when playing demanding games. I adjusted the fan curve and case fans and now staying around 70. The gpu tweak is buggy for me.

Overall Review: Great, i would buy again. Was looking for a cheap 2070 and didnt get it for the size but for the price.

Most Critical Review

Good performance.

EVGA CLC 240mm All-In-One RGB LED CPU Liquid Cooler, 2x FX12 120mm PWM Fans, Intel, AMD, 400-HY-CL24-V1 LGA 1700 Compatible
EVGA CLC 240mm All-In-One RGB LED CPU Liquid Cooler, 2x FX12 120mm PWM Fans, Intel, AMD, 400-HY-CL24-V1 LGA 1700 Compatible

Pros: Cools very well. Looks great and fits am4. Mounted perfect in my H510 elite. Mounted the radiator to the inside of the front bracket and left the preinstalled 140mm case fans on the other side of the nzxt case. Wasn't sure if it would work as i ordered the 120mm version. So far so good with temps only reaching 56c on 4.1ghz Ryzen 5 2600 durring a prime95 stress test.

Cons: Software is buggy. I uninstalled it. Temp readings were saying 81c while core temp and nzxt cam2 reads 32c. People say the fans are loud but i never used them.

Overall Review: Great other than the software is bad, Like i said i uninstalled it, but my nxzt cam2 software picks it up thinking its a kraken and allows me to change rgb from there. So far no issues. Would be 5 eggs if software worked correctly. So it gets 3.

Loving the Aorus Pro X

GIGABYTE X670E AORUS PRO X  AM5 LGA 1718 AMD X670E ATX Motherboard with 5-Year Warranty DDR5, Quad M.2, PCIe 5.0, USB 3.2 Gen2X2 Type-C, WiFi 7, Intel 2.5GbE LAN, Q-Flash Plus, EZ-Latch Plus
GIGABYTE X670E AORUS PRO X AM5 LGA 1718 AMD X670E ATX Motherboard with 5-Year Warranty DDR5, Quad M.2, PCIe 5.0, USB 3.2 Gen2X2 Type-C, WiFi 7, Intel 2.5GbE LAN, Q-Flash Plus, EZ-Latch Plus

Pros: Works great paired with 7800x3d and gskill neos, Ive always liked the way my gigabyte boards handle PBO. Nice that it has the internal HDMI for a specs screen. Plenty of IO, and plenty of m.2 slots. Also comes with two aux temperature probes and a DB sensor. Worth the buy imo.

Cons: I hate the gigabyte software. Switched to SignalRGB and havent had any issues.

Overall Review: Would recommend for anyone needing a white x670

Great Ultra wide for the price.

MSI Optix MAG342CQR 34" UWQHD 3440 x 1440 (2K) 1ms (MPRT) 144 Hz 2 x HDMI, DisplayPort AMD FreeSync Curved Gaming Monitor
MSI Optix MAG342CQR 34" UWQHD 3440 x 1440 (2K) 1ms (MPRT) 144 Hz 2 x HDMI, DisplayPort AMD FreeSync Curved Gaming Monitor

Pros: 3440x1440p 144hz 1ms response time. HDR with default settings is pretty dull and washed BUT with the correct calibration it looks amazing (Windows 11). Very little backlight bleed. The stand seems solid and has good adjustability.

Cons: VA Smearing is noticeable, not a big deal for me but may be for others. Default settings seem dull and washed. The buttons for the OSD arent great. Would much rather have the joy stick like my previous MSI display.

Overall Review: Its not perfect, but for $359 (Black friday special) its worth it.

Great for the price.

Pros: It holds files.

Cons: Feels very cheap.

Overall Review: Meh, its okay for the price. Probably would have sucked it up and spent a little more if i could go back and do it again. But it does what its suppose to.
