Top 5 best RTX 3090 cards, but coil whine exists
on February 3, 2021
Posted by: Nexium
Verified Purchase:Yes
I'd like to first give a lot of credit to Best Buy in improving their Add to Cart queue system to give those of us a chance to get one that are just trying to buy a video card these days to enjoy our hobby. THANK YOU!
Excellent card and feels quality with the all aluminum shroud. No plastic here except the fans, so VERY nice. Runs very cool in the mid 60C range in games even on performance BIOS. I can't even hear the GPU fan over my system fans which is already whisper quiet.
I took a star off for the presence of coil whine when under load and ridiculous prices for a video card in general. Coil whine on my card is not the worst I've experienced and borderline tolerable. But if you are trying to build an all silent water cooled PC, you are risking it with these high end RTX 3000 series cards in general that are more likely to come with coil whine from what I've been reading on the internet's experience. Been building computers for over 20 years some video cards, PSUs, and motherboards tend to have coil whine. I've only experienced 2 out of the 12 video cards I've owned in the past with various brands. Luck must have ran out for me and this will be my 3rd one with coil whine in my lifetime. I'm also torn if I should RMA in the near future for this otherwise awesome video card. Then again, there are no stock anywhere so I'm grateful to even get my hands on one of these.
I should also note, I have a new Seasonic TX-850w Titanium PSU installed running Ryzen 5800x CPU. The 850w PSU still tripped the Over Current Protection while I was playing a game and the system did a hard reset. This did not happen at all when I was still running the Seasonic 850w Ti PSU with my 1080ti GPU a few weeks earlier. Asus recommends 750w - 850w, but I may be also a victim of the 3090 extra transient power spike that is reported on various internet tech forums even with the recommended 850w PSU. I'll be returning the 850w PSU for another quality 1000w PSU to see if it'll prevent that from happening again. This is a possible developing issue that is still being investigated on various tech forums on the speculation it could be Nvidia's power design and factory overclocks on the cards amplified the issue. It would seem the recommended 850w PSU barely satisfies this power hungry card.

Big and flexible refrigerator without fancy tech
on December 17, 2019
Posted by: Nexium
Verified Purchase:Yes
Had my eyes for this refrigerator for a while and finally pulled the trigger at a price I could no longer resist. Love the flexible zone and sexy stainless steel look. It does say it's fingerprint resistant, but it is not. I didn't expect it to be like with all stainless steel appliances anyway. Now we have room for all our groceries and then some!

Excellent buds for the price
on December 17, 2019
Posted by: Nexium
Verified Purchase:Yes
Saw this dropped to under $200 and decided to give them a try. It sounded as good as my wired Sony earbuds I had for the longest time. Problem I had with most of these wireless earbuds was lack of bass and sounds don't pop, just flat. I too had to play with the EQ settings as the bass was too much out of the box even for my taste but no big deal. These buds are perfect at this price range for my listening and calling needs.

Fastest Wifi6 Mesh Router around
on November 12, 2019
Posted by: Nexium
Verified Purchase:Yes
I upgraded from the old Orbi RBK50 to this latest one with WIFI 6. so I'm very familiar with the setup process and initial firmware updates plus the recommended factory resets before use after updating firmware just in case. Orbi Router to AT&T Fiber speed tests delivered my max 1 Gbps speeds. I have several devices already WIFI 6 ready in the home and there is definitely a difference in terms of response of video streaming coming up as soon as we click on them. Older 802.11g/n devices also saw better responsiveness probably with upgrade of CPU speed. I have about 30 - 40 wireless devices connected at at given time in a 3000sqft, 3 floor home from wireless security cameras to Netflix streaming. Coverage is A++ and it's able to handle everything like the previous gen Orbi but even faster. Can't wait to upgrade all my devices to 802,11ax (WIFI 6) because this generation is definitely a leap in wireless technology and impressive with the way it prioritizes WIFI 6 devices. No issues, so far so good.
On a side note, price is VERY expensive at this time. Placement of Orbi Router and Satellite on wireless backhaul is important for a stable connection for devices connected to the Satellite. Once you find the sweet spot in your home, it's good. If you do decide to get this now (year one), be ready for slew of firmware updates cause this just came out. You will feel like beta testing firmware for Netgear for at least the first year. It's the price to pay to be an early adopter for having the latest and greatest these days with any technology.

Excellent wireless earbuds, but I want more
on November 7, 2019
Posted by: Nexium
Verified Purchase:Yes
Great earbuds but it is a bit on the expensive side. Wait until this goes on sale to pickup. In my opinion the bass is lacking but good mids for listening even tried different sound modes. Great voice quality, love the wireless charging case, the wait it looks, but taking one star for lack of bass.
