Most Favorable Review

Overkill

ASRock X570 TAICHI AM4 AMD X570 SATA 6Gb/s ATX AMD Motherboard
ASRock X570 TAICHI AM4 AMD X570 SATA 6Gb/s ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Was able to double up on 1070s with maximum performance and lane splitting.

Cons: It's really expensive to double up on gpus

Overall Review: I don't need a Mobo for a few years. This thing is rad.

Most Critical Review

Should have gone 1660

MSI GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 ATX Video Card GTX 1050 Ti 4GT OC
MSI GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 ATX Video Card GTX 1050 Ti 4GT OC

Overall Review: It's a great card, but for the price, maybe look closer at the competition in the price range. Many better cards have fallen in price, nearly comparable to this one.

Good Card, obviously not "like new"

MSI Ventus GeForce RTX 3080 10GB GDDR6X PCI Express 4.0 Video Card RTX 3080 VENTUS 3X PLUS 10G OC LHR
MSI Ventus GeForce RTX 3080 10GB GDDR6X PCI Express 4.0 Video Card RTX 3080 VENTUS 3X PLUS 10G OC LHR

Pros: Ray Tracing has nice FPS Sleek Aesthetic Quiet

Cons: Missing a screw (Obviously not "like new" per Newegg description) My assumption is the thermal pads had been replaced after some mining.

Overall Review: I purchased the card Used Like-New. I was, am, skeptical about longevity. In retrospect I should have purchased new. Base 3080 was a huge jump in performance for me. Ti or 12 gig would be cool, but going from 1070 to 3080 is really impressive enough of a performance increase. The card works just fine for now. 1 month in and it's passed stress tests, doesn't get above 70° C.

Nice option

Phanteks PH-FF120RGBP Halos RGB Fan Frame – High density LEDs, RGB, 120mm fan mounting
Phanteks PH-FF120RGBP Halos RGB Fan Frame – High density LEDs, RGB, 120mm fan mounting

Cons: Needs a phanteks controller or adapter.

Overall Review: Great option for giving color to a non rgb fan. I ended up using mine as an undercarriage light with some velcro. Go figure.

Corsair for RGB

CORSAIR Vengeance RGB Pro 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model CMW32GX4M2C3200C16
CORSAIR Vengeance RGB Pro 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model CMW32GX4M2C3200C16

Pros: Each little node is individually programmable in iCue

Overall Review: I can't stress this enough: if I had known about corsair's amazing rgb support before starting an rgb build, I would have been much happier.

Solid board

Pros: Price Nothing superfluous

Overall Review: I bought this board for a ryzen5 3600 with the hope of doing video editing and gaming. It does everything I wanted without paying for luxuries, like a stellar bios, or excessive rgb support. There is a fine bios. There is some rgb support. All else was as expected, and I give this board 5 stars for being a fine x570 at the price. Beware: There is literally zero clearance between my gtx 2060 and the lower heat sink, but it is fully installed.
