Overkill
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.
Should have gone 1660
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"
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
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
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.
