Get what you pay for and miss on good thermals

I got the MSI GamingX 1660 super and while later saw this bargain for a few more dollars. Of course i went for it thinking to return my 1660 super, a no brainer right? Not so unfortunately. Do your research, the cooling solution on this card is not design for 2060. Is a modified 1660 ti frame. The mod is additional thermal spacers, a pathetic solution. Result is loud fans to keep the card in the 72-75 deg C under load while all that heat dissipates all over the pc rig. I got spoiled by the cool and quiet MSI card, no way im keeping this loud hot mess. This card does perform better at 1440p, no doubt. Rawpower is there. But for me is not worth putting up with the bad thermals. Long term I assume the thermals will get worse. I attached a picture I found in a review around the internet.
PS: I went for the MSI 2060 Super Gaming X. Is better specs and does not go above 67 deg C during heavy load. That is a quality product.

Great results by a cool quiet beast

Have not reached 70degC during any of my heavy loaded long gaming sessions (particularly during this "stay at home" situation we are all going through). I was rocking a rx580 that came with my prebuild and was very happy with he benchmark and performance at 1080p, however I was very unhappy with the way it got there. Very loud, very hot all the time- I added external usb fans at vents for adding fresh air and taking out hot air. It helped but not enough to keep the fans quiet. After much deliberation and even trying the rtx2060 super (felt I should have gotten the rtx2070 super instead but would have to change other parts so decided to return it) I decided to get the 1660 super by MSI after I just got tired of dealing with a hot noisy rig. Even removed the external usb fans and now my rig looks clean!
After long gaming sessions of maxed out 1080P settings and some games at 1440P with all maxed out (Fallen Order at over 65fps and Metro Exodus at 25fps; cinematic experience) this card runs quiet and cool. Max reading are about 67degC, stays in the low 60s. All I have tried has left me smiling with this upgrade. The price is fine, not low because it is high quality, not too high. Is a great looking product that perroms like a champ and give me no reason to complain.
Drivers and card panel control settings work flawlessly and easy. Either right or wrong moving forward I will look for MSI Nvidia cards when upgrade time comes. I highly doubt anyone considering this card (performance and price range) will not be pleased with it. Is absolutely amazing.

Very capable within price range

In the effort to have my first gaming PC and spending $500-$700 I came across this rig on sale for $649. At this price I am blown away by the pure bang for the buck. I have all current consoles and then some, however the PC offers a plethora of new ways to game. I have tried multiple games and they run without significant compromises. The cooling system is underwhelming. It can get VERY loud easily. I added some external fans to improve the ventilation and it helps to keep those internal fans from going full speed. After a week of heavy use for gaming and other things it has been glitch free and performs all tasks fast.

Attention to detail and high level customization
on December 20, 2019
Posted by: HappyDog
Verified Purchase:Yes
So many teviews pointing at the quality of the controller and I wont reapeat it, agreed. I have been using the elite series 1 and never did i though it was missing features, it has been great and zero issue (use adapter for playin with it on ps4 and switch whick makes gaming super enjoyable in every console). Then got the elite series 2 and was floored ny how much everything was improved. One detail I want to mention is the hair triggers function. In previous elite shortening the rhow of the trigger will make it by default that the maximum balues could not be reach (full trigger pull values) without adjusting in the software customization. Not a big deal nor a problem since all it takes is a quick adjustment in the trigger tab for customization. In the elite series 2 they made it so that when changing the total pull for the trigger (three option total), each option when changed automatically adjusts the reading from the trigger so that one gets full press galues even at the shortest throw. This is incredible attention to detail becuase it was absolutely acceptable to let the user go into the setting and adjsut it, but they decided to go the extar mile and make it happen on the fly. In short, is an epic controller for an epic console (Xbox X) and the upcoming new Xbox. Once you have you wont look back and because this controllers usually last a long time you will get your moneys worth.

Logitech flagship mouse
on May 20, 2019
Posted by: HappyDog
I am using this mouse with the xim4 for console single player gaming. I was using the G502 Proteous RGB and was very happy with the hardware and software. Amazing mouse, which I use for work because of comfort and productivity. When the lightspeed version came out I had to try it because I thought worse case I return it and that is that. Well even better I kept it and love it. The HERO sensor is a HUGE jump from the previous sensor and this shows clearly with even the xim4 for mouse use in console or should I say especially with the xim4 due to the highr sensitivity all the way to 16k. The wireless is just perfect in this mouse. Battery life is great. One can really tell Logitech engineers took no short cuts when developing this mouse and it just shines. The G-hub is not much to my liking but I dont use it much so I can ignore it for most of the time. I am having a blast with this mouse and even though I am aware that the wired HERO G502 can be had for around $60 I am not going back to wired. I like to get value for my money, and with the G502 Lightspeed that is exactly what I get. Very happy with this mouse.

Won’t turn off
By Rjb11
This is the second pair of these headsets we have bought and 4 months later they stopped working for the same reason we returned the last pair. Now Best Buy is saying they cannot be returned.
