I have fiber optic 200mbps and the router is in the hallway. I wanted a network on the computer I have in the room (10m away). I replaced Powerlines with a maximum LAN speed of 100mbps with these (1000mbps) and my speed increased from 70 to 130mbps. Personally, I am very satisfied. I will get back to you in case I have issues with disconnections, etc.

It was purchased at the price of 580€ and replaced a 2070. The differences are huge in the increase of FPS even though the 2070 remains a beast in 2024.

The temperatures of this particular model are cool. I saw 58c in 2 games that I have tried so far. The very good airflow in my case also plays a role, so this number may be different for you.

This specific Asus model is beautiful with an aluminum backplate (as opposed to plastic on most cards).

Combine it with a good CPU to avoid bottleneck and enjoy it to the fullest. Personally, I have the 13700KF. The 13600K is also a very good choice, as well as 12th generation CPUs (i5 and above). The same applies to the latest and penultimate generation Ryzen CPUs.

One of the best on the market. Used for gaming. I thought about giving it four stars because I lose all the tips on the loading screens (just kidding). SATA III SSDs are now disappearing while new games require an SSD in the system. So NVME is now the only way. You don't need these speeds for gaming, nor can you take advantage of them. I just personally wanted to give something a little extra and put in a top-tier M2, since I already have a high-end system in general.

With a 13700KF and an As Rock Z790 PG Lightning motherboard, they played flawlessly at 6400mhz by enabling XMP in the BIOS. No issues at all.

A very good choice for 13th and 14th generation unlocked (K) processors.

Out of the 4 M.2 slots it provides, 3 are NVME only and 1 is NVME and SATA. This means that if you have an SATA M.2 with speeds of 500mb read/write, it should be placed in the one and only M.2 slot (bottom right) that reads both NVME and SATA. The remaining slots will not recognize the disk. Just an update for anyone who finds it useful.

It cools a 13700KF and is very effective in its job. In games, very low temperatures. Average of 52 to 55 degrees. I didn't expect that.

Attention, the pump is not connected to the motherboard via USB in order to be recognized by the ICUE software as liquid cooling. This can be done by "i" coolers and not by this "x" one. You can connect the pump and fans to a Corsair controller in order to adjust the RGB via ICUE, but the liquid cooling will not be visible in ICUE. Only the controller will be visible (where the liquid cooling, pump, and fan will be, as well as the case fans). Personally, I don't mind as long as I can adjust the colors in ICUE.

Coming from a 9700K, the differences are huge.

9700K pulls 160w in game (PUBG) with 72c temperature and 80% CPU usage.
13700KF pulls 60w in game (PUBG) with 52c temperature and 15% CPU usage.

There is fear that it is a hot processor. In Cinebench R24 and video editing, it does reach 100c. Never in games.

Undervolt with core voltage offset in XTU = -0.125V, in Cinebench it reaches up to 86c. In games, it stays at 46-55c.
Honestly, for games, I'm thinking of putting a small heater next to it so it doesn't get cold (just kidding).

It is equipped with the AIO Corsair h100x elite 240mm. This CPU will last for many years for my usage.

Edit: In the PUBG lobby, the CPU usage is at 4%. IT WILL SHUT DOWN...

The LEDs on the rim and those in the center make it stunning. For me, they are the best among the many RGB fans I have used.

2. The Corsair iCUE software is incredible. User-friendly with incredible color combinations and effects. The icing on the cake? iCUE uses 0.6% CPU usage. This must have happened with the latest update as before it used to consume 7-8%. So it is very light now. To understand the difference, the Thermaltake TT RGB Plus used to consume 9-17% on an 8-core 9700K. Poor programming for me.

The LEDs on the fan and those in the center make it absolutely beautiful. For me, it's the best among the many RGB fans I've used. Attention: It doesn't work on its own. You need the pack of three, which also includes the hub, in order to connect the fans to it, and if you need extra, you can purchase that.

The Corsair iCue software is incredible. User-friendly with amazing combinations and color effects. The icing on the cake? iCue uses only 0.6% CPU usage. This must have happened with the latest update, as before it used to consume 7-8%. So it's much lighter now. To understand the difference, Thermaltake's TT RGB Plus used to consume 9-17% on an 8-core 9700K. Terrible programming in my opinion.
