Most Favorable Review

Cool and powerful, one of the best RTX 2080 boards available

EVGA GeForce RTX 2080 FTW3 ULTRA GAMING, 08G-P4-2287-KR, 8GB GDDR6, iCX2 & RGB LED
EVGA GeForce RTX 2080 FTW3 ULTRA GAMING, 08G-P4-2287-KR, 8GB GDDR6, iCX2 & RGB LED

Pros: EVGA offers a lot of value above a Founders' Edition. The higher power limit (130%), excellent triple fan cooling, and evolving & improving Precision X1 software make this one of the top RTX 2080 cards for an air cooled rig. The ability to monitor VRM, memory and GPU temperatures, as well as custom fan curves for each of the 3 fans is a huge plus. Also has a fan and RGB auxillary header on the card.

Cons: Make sure you update immediately to the newest Nvidia drivers before installing Precision X1 for the first time

Overall Review: EVGA's support in the early weeks was excellent, and the card runs reliably now.

Possiblyt the best air cooled 3080 on the market

ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3080 V2 OC Edition 10GB GDDR6X PCI Express 4.0 x16 Video Card ROG-STRIX-RTX3080-O10G-V2-GAMING (LHR)
ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3080 V2 OC Edition 10GB GDDR6X PCI Express 4.0 x16 Video Card ROG-STRIX-RTX3080-O10G-V2-GAMING (LHR)

Pros: Quiet and cool Very nice modern design Awesome performance, even at 4K

Cons: Needs all three 8-pin PCIE power connectors hooked up Uses lots of power Heavy card - requires an anti-sag support

Overall Review: Highly recommend this car if you have the budget, there isn't a better one for the money

The best of the best

Seasonic PRIME TX-850, 850W 80+ Titanium, ATX Form Factor, Full Modular, Low Noise, Premium Japanese Capacitor, 12 Year Warranty, Nvidia RTX 30/40 Super, AMD GPU Compatible, Ref# SSR-850TR
Seasonic PRIME TX-850, 850W 80+ Titanium, ATX Form Factor, Full Modular, Low Noise, Premium Japanese Capacitor, 12 Year Warranty, Nvidia RTX 30/40 Super, AMD GPU Compatible, Ref# SSR-850TR

Pros: Many underestimate the value of a top tier power supply, and Seasonic's Titanium units are truly the best available. Quiet, efficient, extremely tight regulation, low ripple, amazing warranty - there is nothing else you can hope for in a power supply! Considering the benefits over a Gold or Platinum unit, the price is very fair

Cons: None

Overall Review: If there is an Ultra Titanium unit that fits your power needs, buy it and forget the rest!

The gold standard for air coolers, but wish it came with the Industrial series fans

Noctua NH-D15, Premium CPU Cooler with 2x NF-A15 PWM 140mm Fans (Brown)
Noctua NH-D15, Premium CPU Cooler with 2x NF-A15 PWM 140mm Fans (Brown)

Pros: Lots of copper means lots of heat capacity, fits 2 140 mm fans but could be run on a single, cooling performance close to many AIO liquid solutions, no fear of leaks!

Cons: The fans are extremely ugly, if they would offer this with the black Noctua Industrial fans, it would be a true winner

The ideal boot and daily use drive

SAMSUNG 970 PRO M.2 2280 512GB PCIe Gen3. X4, NVMe 1.3 64L V-NAND 2-bit MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-V7P512BW

Pros: Extremely fast transfer rates, high endurance rating, sometimes goes on sale

Cons: Pricier than an EVO but if you catch a sale, it's worth the extra performance

Maybe the finest X470 board on the market

ASUS ROG Crosshair VII Hero AM4 AMD X470 ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: UEFI is excellent, board design and aesthetic is great. VRM is extreme overkill, runs cool and overclocks with ease.

Cons: Can't find a fault so far - rock solid!
