New Egg is Great
Pros: Exceeds my expectations.
Cons: Nothing bad to say. Some folks complained about flimsy construction so I assembled everything on my work bench before putting it in the case.
Overall Review: New Egg delivers on price and delivery
Who to Blame
Pros: None can't download with code given
Cons: Someone is not concerned with customer satisfaction Newegg AMD XFX Steam Codemasters
Overall Review: Very bad business practice by all on this one.
Final Thoughts
Pros: The card Arrived on it's committed date, though it sat the entire weekend at the local FEDEX. This card exceeds my expectations. (I was going to buy the GTX 1060)
Cons: No backing plate but I knew that. No whine as reported by others. I have not tried any over clocking but I will update when I do. I removed my rant about FEDEX it probably wasn't fair.
Overall Review: I got mine for $399 so don't fall for the Carpet Baggers trying to sell it for $496. After seeing the results with this I wonder why would anyone need anything better, but then if I had the money. CPU: i7 6700K MOBO: ASROCK Z170 Extreme 6 MEM: Team Dark 16GB SSD: Samsung 850 EVO GPU: GTX 1070 Gigabyte Windforce PSU: Rosewill GLacier 600M 600W Case: Raidmax ATX Mid Tower 404WU
Fast
Pros: Fast
Cons: None
Overall Review: Is running at rated Speed/profile on Extreme6 MOBO.
Does the job
Pros: It cools my CPU, it's quiet.
Cons: None
Overall Review: It's been a while since I've built a PC so I was surprised at how big this was. Put it together in no time. I really cannot hear the fan.
For what it's worth
Pros: I bought this because it's more than what I need. I didn't buy it for the good looks. The bios functions are very useful.
Cons: None really
Overall Review: Silly little problem with the "LAN MAC" address after flash update. There is a link to a video on the ASROCK forum site for the fix. Just do a search "LAN MAC". You'd think this would be a simple fix to the flash updater for ASROCK to solve.
Dumb shipping Policies
So not ship items signature required. I have a full time job and am never available at USPS delivery times.
