Wow

Pros: I am very pleased with this purchase. I have played a few matches of COD Ghosts and BF4 on highest settings with all the knobs turned to 11 and never went below 50 fps. This video card has definitely exceeded my expectations. (I figured I would need a GTX 780 for this kind of performance) It stays very cool and very quiet.

Cons: None.

Fantastic cooler

Pros: This cooler works very well. Keeps my delidded 7700k @ 5.1GHz below 64c using Prime95.

Cons: LED is great when it's not defaulting to "Temp color" vs the "Ambient Color" I have it set to. I have to run Flow Control at startup to keep LED settings. While booting the LED remains Ambient Color, but once booted it changes to Temp Color, and then back to Ambient Color when I open Flow Control. Hopefullly it's fixed soon, as I don't want to have Flow Control running at startup. Why can't the PWM cable be on the same side as the fan and pump cables? Cable management looks ridiculous with the PWM cable coming out the opposite side of the fan and pump cables.

Overall Review: I would absolutely recommend this to others.

Fantastic

Pros: I absolutely love this monitor. I have my ps4 pro connected to it and use it as a 2nd monitor for my PC. I had a different monitor and couldn't handle the fps gameplay with a 4ms response time. 4ms vs 1ms is like night and day when playing any fps. My main PC monitor is 2560x1440, so I use DSR to set this monitors resolution at 2560x1440 and it looks decent. Colors are accurate and viewing angles are actually very good.

Cons: The only con I have is not knowing an easier way to adjust the volume. Afaik, the only way to adjust the volume is through a couple different menu screens.

Overall Review: I'd highly recommend this monitor for any console gaming. I would suggest a different monitor, at this price, for PC gaming.

Fantastic

Pros: Everything about this monitor is absolutely fantastic. I was a bit weary of ordering because of some reviews, but I must have received a good one? If I didn't intentionally order it refurbished, I would have never know it was. It arrived in a much larger box than I imagined, ASUS tape sealing the box, in perfect condition. The screen is really bright, no stuck pixels or visible backlight bleed. It's just perfect.

Cons: It wasn't a buy 1 get 2 free deal?

Great PSU

CORSAIR HX Series HX750 750 W ATX12V 2.3 / EPS12V 2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready
CORSAIR HX Series HX750 750 W ATX12V 2.3 / EPS12V 2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready

Pros: I've always loved corsair power supplies because they have always been dependable and never had one fail on me. I normally get a non-modular psu but I thought I would go with a modular psu this time and wish I didn't. (see cons)

Cons: I've had this PSU for a while now to replace the stock PSU in my computer so I could add a graphics card. I just ordered the graphics card yesterday and I thought I would go ahead and connect the pci-e cables to it to get ready for the graphics card to arrive. I could connect one cable to the power supply without a problem. The other 3 cables were a problem. No matter how I would try to connect a cable to either port in the psu it would try to push pin 7 out of the connector. All the pins in the psu connectors look completely straight, all the pins in the pci-e cables connector look completely straight. All the pci-e cable connectors look identical. I can't figure out why pin 7 in all of the connectors wont connect properly. There are 2 wires connected to pin 7 leaving pin 8 is empty, which i'm sure was done on purpose (I hope) and I'm sure that is not the cause of why pin 7 wont connect properly. The graphics card I ordered only requires 2 6pin pci-e connectors. I'm hoping that pin 7 on one end of the connector is also connected to pin 7 on the other end. If that is the case then I won't have any problem when I receive my graphics card. Needless to say, when I decide to get a new psu, I will be going with one that uses a different type of connector.
