Most Favorable Review

Wonderful Processor, however! One major flaw.

AMD A10-7850K - A-Series APU Kaveri Quad-Core 3.7 GHz Socket FM2+ 95W AMD Radeon R7 Desktop Processor - AD785KXBJABOX

Pros: Fast speeds Able to run practically anything I throw at it Good stability when clocked up

Cons: It has one major flaw though! And this is true of every AMD APU. It runs /HOT/. You're most definitely going to require after market cooling for this bad boy. The stock heatsink supplied with it is nowhere near powerful enough to keep it cool.

Overall Review: It's a pretty great processor, I haven't had any problems with it other than the temperature, and once I finished my cooling solution with it it became much, much more stable.

Most Critical Review

Literally the worst adapter I have ever owned.

ASUS PCE-N15 300Mbps Wireless-N Network Adapter, PCI-E interface, Full Height and Low Profile bracket, WPS button Support

Pros: At least it can connect to the internet.

Cons: Upstream is absolutely horrid. I had my adapter literally less than ten feet away from my access point, and it couldn't push more than 2 megabits per second. The downstream is okay, but it's nowhere near the advertised rates. Maybe 60 at most, and that's pushing it.
