Most Favorable Review

Best card I ever had

EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 11GB GDDR5X PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support Graphics Card 11G-P4-6798-KR
EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 11GB GDDR5X PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support Graphics Card 11G-P4-6798-KR

Pros: My card overclocks to 2,087 with temps around 58C (Ambient 22C) on air sitting on a PC test bench (DIY - no brand). My card has Zero Coil whine (using a EVGA 1000W G2 PSU)! I just purchased the waterblock from EVGA as well and I may report back after that is up and running. I love that the package includes a single slot bracket for the card. I am very happy with this card, I have a bunch of EVGA cards but this is my first KingPin. Other Thoughts: The two previous reviews say they (wonder if this is the same person for both reviews) have extreme coil whine. Mine has No audible whine.

Cons: None

Overall Review: The T-Shirt which is also included is awesome and I ordered myself a Jersey display case for it. Yes, I am a EVGA fanboy, always been. The reason behind is that EVGA customer service has been always exceptional to me. I appreciate to be treated well when I spend thousands on products from a company. Well done, EVGA!

Most Critical Review

Flimsy construction

Team Group 8GB C171 USB 2.0 Flash Drive (TC1718GB01)
Team Group 8GB C171 USB 2.0 Flash Drive (TC1718GB01)

Pros: Got it free as a promo with a DDR4 memory stick. 8GB is a nice size for windows Install media to have on hand.

Cons: Very flimsy and cheap construction. The area around the connector which is normally metal is part of the rest of the device housing and made from very thin plastic. I also have connection troubles like others with this device. Sometimes it will work sometimes it doesn't. Takes more often then not multiple attempts to show up in the boot menu or being recognized at all in Windows under removable devices.

Overall Review: I really like Team Group, have multiple SSDs and Memory from that company and good experience with their customer service, but this device fails in every aspect. This is not a bad device, it's a bad design and an RMA isn't going to fix this. My advice is simple, look for a different flash drive to buy.

Stable and compatible with Ryzen 5

Ballistix Sport LT 8GB Single DDR4 2666 MT/s (PC4-21300) DR x8 DIMM 288-Pin Memory - BLS8G4D26BFSE (Red)
Ballistix Sport LT 8GB Single DDR4 2666 MT/s (PC4-21300) DR x8 DIMM 288-Pin Memory - BLS8G4D26BFSE (Red)

Pros: Paired this with the ASRock AB350 Gaming-ITX/ac motherboard and an AMD Ryzen 5 1400 CPU and it works as advertised. Boots right up and no hickups whatsoever. Good stuff.

Cons: None

Great for HTPC

ARK ITX/CS-Ci02 Black Server Case open frame 90W
ARK ITX/CS-Ci02 Black Server Case open frame 90W

Pros: This is a nice, small, and sturdy case. I choose to build a Media Center PC. The fans are extremely quiet, I only hear them if I get close with my ears to them. The power supply is plenty for any ITX board and a SSD. Voltages on the power supply are good and it seems to be of decent quality. The Vesa mount made it easy to hide the case behind the screen.

Cons: none

Overall Review: An absolute bargain considering it comes with a decent power supply. For cases with such small inside dimension it is important that you use a low heat CPU. I used a ECS Mini-ITX (AMD AM1 platform) motherboard and an AMD Kabini CPU. I cut a 80mm hole in the case lid above the heat sink of the cpu and added a finger guard to improve ventilation even though I may not needed to do this it made me feel better.

Awesome and Reliable

ASRock AM1H-ITX AM1 USB 3.0 HDMI Mini ITX AMD Motherboard
ASRock AM1H-ITX AM1 USB 3.0 HDMI Mini ITX AMD Motherboard

Pros: This motherboard just got it all. It has been very reliable and shows no signs of issues. The reason for deciding on this board have been for me the many great features like USB3, the Full length PCI-e x16 slot (although only operating on x4), the standard 240pin DDR3 slots as memory is cheaper than for the 204pin, Sata 6gb/s, and the most awesome part for me is the DC on board connector. I am able to run my entire system with an Compaq 19V/60W brick which I "borrowed" from an old Laptop which I no longer use. I build a little HTPC with it and it runs and streams my BeyondTV shows without any Hick-up's. I am using a AMD Athlon 5150 Kabini and I gave the GUI of Windows 7 a bit snappier feel by updating to the latest Bios which allows for a bit of over clocking. The rest of my components are 2 sticks of Team Group 1333MHz DDR3 memory (TED34096M1333C9) and a Seagate 2TB laptop drive. I am very pleased with my purchase.

Cons: None

Great Add-On Card

SYBA USB 3.0 (3+1) PCI-e Controller Card, Etron Chipset, Molex (IDE HD 4-pin) Built-in Model SY-PEX20135
SYBA USB 3.0 (3+1) PCI-e Controller Card, Etron Chipset, Molex (IDE HD 4-pin) Built-in Model SY-PEX20135

Pros: This is a great card. The speed is what was truly amazing, this wasn't my first Rodeo with USB3 Add-On cards. All my other cards don't get the throughput (same motherboard, same slot) as this VIA based card from Syba. Had no issues with any USB 3 or USB 2.0 devices until last month. One of the rear ports went out and didn't recognize any device plugged into that port. However, went to their site and requested an RMA . All I can say is they have an efficient RMA process and great customer service. Now 10 days later I am up and running again. Way to go Syba!

Cons: All electrical devices can fail at one or the other point in time.

Overall Review: I can't fault the maker for component failure. However, fixing my issue with a quick RMA is something I do value. I received back a clearly new card not some refurbished poj like many other companies ship back to you. Make sure you use the latest drivers which gave my card an additional boos. I use this card in a Dell Precision T5500 workstation which does not have USB 3. I am more then pleased with this card.
