Awesome. Quiet. High performance
Pros: I was so amazed how quiet the fan was. Yea, ok I moved from a Intel stock HSF from the Core 2 days but I didn't know that whine was that bad. And it performs well. I like the extra cables they bundle too. Like the ability to put few fans on one header. Second Noctua model, and second time I love them.
Cons: Nothing really. At least nothing bothered me.
Overall Review: Yes, I would recommend the product, and yes I will buy it again. Noctua's got a return customer. I am not sure what I would change about them? Keep up the good work?
Cheap, not the best quality
Pros: Cheap. Nice design.
Cons: Sound quality is suboptimal
Overall Review: It looked nice, and the price is cheap but the sound quality isn't the best. I could notice it immediately as I fired up Youtube, and games. If you need an earphone for cheap then it'll work.
Affordable on sale. Modular.
Pros: -Modular -Nice design -Affordable price when on sale -Fans
Overall Review: I can't say much as the last case I had was decade or more old and last system was in a milk crate "case" because I was mining with it too. Love the modular designs so it's easy to access to such items as drives.
Efficient, lots of ports for GPUs.
Pros: 850W is perfect for most video cards. EVGA, so good warranty. The G3 is also on the upper range of efficiency for it's Gold rating.
Cons: The fan is a bit annoying when on.
Overall Review: Bought it for mining machines. 850W worked for my 3 cards, with headroom to spare. Not a good idea to max power supplies for longevity. The fan is annoying and not quiet as EVGA marketing claims. Simple solution just to put a 120mm fan on it.
Decent card. Runs cool. Nice backplate and copper cooling pad
Pros: I chose the card because it has memory cooling. It has one of the better ways of doing it and that's by using the same heatsink as the GPU die itself. Whether you want to mine, or game, you'd want a heatsink on it. They can get pretty toasty without it. Backplate makes handling easier. Less worry about damaging components and static damage. I'm not sure how much the copper cooling plate that extends all the way to the backplate is, but it can't be worse.
Cons: None for my uses.
Overall Review: Decent card. I would buy it again if needed. Wait for a sale so it gets to $319.99 like I bought for.
I am not sure what to say about this power supply. Platinum is likely not worth the price, even over just 80+ devices, even as a 24/7 miner!
Pros: -Got a platinum power supply for a cheap price -4 separate PCI Express power rails for a 650W! Good for those RX 470/480s -Runs cooler than my other supplies
Cons: -Platinum not as much power saved as expected over my 80+(not even bronze) and not-even-80-plus supply -~40W saved over my 80+ and not 80 plus supply -Price difference is not worth over lower 80 plus rating ones
Overall Review: Perhaps it'll be worth it over a long run. But then over that long period of a time, anything can change.
