fast , really fast just buy it if you can afford it.
Pros: This thing is amazing. I replaced the old amd-8350 which was a beast. But this thing is on a different level. Buy it and you will be happy.
Cons: ummmmm, it doesn't make me food?
Overall Review: really if you have the money just get it.
Had to RMA, now everything is fine
Pros: Works fine now. Nothing super great or bad, just ram.
Cons: Have to Pay shipping to sent this back, so I paid shipping to buy it, and then b/c they sent me broken ram, I get to pay to sent it back. Not cool
Has a 3070
Pros: This thing is fast once you get everything sorted out, and replace the disk.....perfect for 1440p 144 hertz monitors, crushes games, everything on ultra, expect sometimes I turn off ray tracing. If you are willing to do that, you can see 200fps at 1440p on smaller maps in coldwar, battlefield runs in the 130fps range maxed all the way out, I really like this thing, BUT KEEP READING if you are luckily enough to have found one in stock in the first place.
Cons: The intel 660p is a really poor preforming nvme, once I replaced that with a Samsung 970 and changed every single clock in the computer to stock, we where off to the races. I will note that the memory was underclocked to the slowest speed possible, but its easy to get it to 3200mhz, the cpu didnt turbo and out of the box would only hit like 4.5Ghz, but if you change some setting in the bios you can get over the 5gh line, I haven't overclocked the cpu(yet) other than setting the motherboard to AUTO as im still torn on keeping this box, however I think one could tweak a little more and see the adversities 5.1 turbo. AGAIN it has a 3070 and the 8 core I7 kills games/dev work, considering the times, I LOVE this thing, but if you are not the type that likes to tweak, or if the concept of overclocking on NEW box b.c its soooo underclocked bothers you, then I would look somewhere else. BUT for now, I LOVE THISA THING. Also had problems with win 10 activating, but I intended on getting pro anyway, so not big deal
Overall Review: I recommend for people who like to tweak setting in BIOS not for people who want all of the power, with no of the work the 3070 is awesome
