So far no issues with it.
Pros: I may not ever use it but the Bios flash/update features are nice. PCI-E 4.0 and RGB headers. Nice dashboard thing when you boot into the BIOS in basic mode.
Cons: For some it's a Con, for others it may not matter. It has the compatibility support module disabled by default. I had to enable it in order to see more boot options and allow it to find Windows that I had installed with a different system. It wouldn't boot until I did this.
Overall Review: It's fancy and reasonably priced. RGB headers might be fun to play around with.
Decent Mouse
Pros: - Seems like a good quality mouse overall. - Tracking seems good.
Cons: - The mouse scroll wheel feels cheap compared to another cheaper mouse I own. It doesn't bring pleasure to my life when I scroll the wheel. - It doesn't seem flashy enough to be considered a "gaming mouse" but I guess the DPI is "gaming mouse" level. - You have to cycle through like 8 different mouse speed levels to get back to the previous one. It needs forward and back speed buttons.
Overall Review: Seems like a good quality mouse but I like my cheap off brand e-b-a-y mouse better. My other cheapo mouse has a wheel that scrolls like butter.
Good Card
Pros: - It can do RT at 1080p with upscaling at around 60 FPS depending on the game and settings - Runs fairly cool - Very minimal sag. It doesn't need it but I rigged something to tie the end up to something higher in case anyway. Just something to put a slight upward tension on the end.
Cons: - It does have coil whine...more like coil buzz actually when running hard at high utilization
Overall Review: The 6800 non XT is like a better 7700 XT for less money. About the same performance with more memory and a little bit higher memory bandwidth. About the same watts used also. I would like to give 5 stars, but giving 4 because of the coil whine noise.
Nice Headphones
Pros: - Has a lot of bass compared to my other cheap Chinese headphones. - Bluetooth works well - Other people say the noise cancelling isn't that good, but I disagree...I think the noise cancelling works pretty well. - You don't have to put them INSIDE of your ears like most small bluetooth ones.
Cons: - Nothing yet but I havn't used them very much at this point. - The only thing that seems a little off is the included 3.5 mm cable to use as wired. It's flat, not very long, and seems like it might break easily. I would get my own cable if I wanted to use it wired.
Overall Review: I would recommend them.
Nice Set of Spatulas, Spoons, etc...
Pros: My spatula game has been elevated to new heights.
Cons: They can't plugged into my computer, despite having the Rosewill brand.
Overall Review: They are made of silicone but are not silly at all. They are a very serious collection kitchen tools for the completion of tasks.
Works fine so far.
Pros: Fast M.2 cheap
Cons: Include a screw and standoff! :-p I was like, "Ok, I need to find my own screw." It couldn't be a regular size screw, had to be extra tiny. So I found a screw and accidentally didn't put the standoff under it (first m.2 drive). I realized it didn't look right and put a standoff before turning it on, but I still *turned metal threaded fastener* (newegg didn't like my original word) it down too far. It's working fine...but if you include a standoff and screw people like me will be like, "oh this must be for something...duhhh".
Overall Review: I didn't do any benchmarks or heat tests but seems totally fine and it's cheap. I also don't really like the warranty void if removed sticker on the top of the chips. Yes it's only a thin sticker but did it really have to go there?
