Pros: TL;DR - Performance, price, installation, reliability, pump noise. PERFORMANCE: Performs just like the more expensive versions of the H100 series coolers - in other words, it's excellent. It's the best cooling performance you can get without going custom loop. I've been using the H100 for years and never had any problems. PRICE: Save a decent amount of money to ditch the RGB and Corsair link add-ons. If you don't want those features (and I personally never use them), you don't have to pay for them anymore. INSTALLATION: Dead simple. Even the Verge could figure it out. Table, tweezers, and swiss army knife not included. RELIABILITY: I've been using Corsair H100 series products for 7 years now. I have an original H100 and H110 still going strong, as well as an H110i and now this H100x. I've never had any problems. These are well made products. PUMP NOISE: I don't hear it. Which is great!

Cons: Only one: Default fan noise is too loud. The default setup with the fans is set to get you the best temps possible but it comes at the expense of way too much noise. Put the fans on a reduced speed outside of max OC benchmarking; the cooler will still perform well and will be much quieter.

Overall Review: If you want the performance of the H100 but don't want to pay for the add-ons of the more expensive models, this is an ideal cooler. Very highly recommended! Just make sure you have a fan controller or low noise adapter or are prepared to deal with relatively noisy fans.

Pros: -Outside of one issue (see cons), the build quality is absolutely superb and the case looks gorgeous. -Can fit a LOT of hardware into the case including decent CPU coolers and graphics cards -Dust filtering on front intake fans and over the PSU intake -Screw positions to install PSU either way (up/down) -Removable (theoretically - see below) hard drive cages with rubber mounts to dampen noise -Quality fans included, with fan controller!

Cons: One show-stopping con for this case: the tiny screws used to mount the hard drive cages in place are HORRIBLE. Not the thumb screws - those are fine - the tiny screws (one per HDD bay) near the front of the case. They are small and made of some cheap-o super soft metal. Two of mine happened to arrive fastened in tight, and because the metal is so soft, it bent/warped to the point where they CANNOT be removed at all. I tried about 10 different screwdriver heads and the metal is just too soft to unscrew them. So, 2 of my 3 hard drive cages are permanent fixtures and cannot be removed unless I go get my dremmel and cut them out for good. I am docking two eggs for this, because this is a potentially show-stopping issue for anyone who may want to remove the cages. I only have one HDD in my build so it's not a total deal-breaker for me.

Overall Review: I'm REALLY disappointed in the lapse in quality on those hard drive cage screws. It's surprising, because the rest of the build quality is SO good that to have one thing that bad is a mystery. It wouldn't have been hard for them to use decent screws there, but they didn't. I'm not going to bother with paying shipping on an RMA since I'm only using 1 HDD... hope I don't regret that in a couple years. Built this to be a quiet office/work PC: AMD A8-5600k CPU 8GB DDR3-1333 RAM ASRock FM2A85X-ITX mobo Noctua NH-L12 CPU cooler WD RE4 500 GB HDD Seasonic X-400 Platinum Fanless PSU

Pros: Amazing value; 2x64GB gives a ton of memory capacity for anyone who can benefit from lots of system memory Runs at rated speeds out of the box flawlessly. Just enable XMP / EXPO and you are good to go. I had no problems on my ASRock X670e Taichi / 9800 X3D setup. It passed 48 hours of memtest86 and ran everything rock solid on my system. Professional look is great - you don't waste any money on RGB frills.

Cons: The only nitpick I have is that the Crucial logo is on the wrong side of the heatspreader; the kit would look nicer if that were reversed.

Overall Review: This is a perfect memory kit for anyone doing professional or hobbyist work on their PC that benefits from lots of system memory. If you are only gaming on your PC, you don't need this memory kit and would benefit from a smaller and faster set of sticks, but this really can't be beaten right now for anyone doing heavier work that needs 128GB or even 256GB+ of system memory.

Pros: Looks great, runs at advertised EXPO settings without any problems. Running this with a 9800 X3D on an ASRock X670e Taichi Carrarra.

Overall Review: Great memory kit to pair with a Ryzen 9800 X3D CPU in a gaming rig!

Pros: When it works, it's great!

Cons: I had three of these chips die at stock settings with no overclocking in 18 months. Intel is pumping way too much volts and power through inefficient silicon to compete with AMD.

Overall Review: Intel is the OLED of CPUs. Great when you buy it. Awful after a couple years of use.

Pros: Doesn't fry my components with trash stock voltages Doesn't fail XMP repeatedly Actually has build quality worthy of a $400+ board Has a 2 digit debug readout Overengineered VRM Generally awesome build, features, and VRM

Cons: X670 is still expensive

Overall Review: I LOVE this board. I spent the past 18 months dealing with lemon after lemon after lemon to try and make a Z790/13700k platform work. It never did. This board just worked - my 7800X3d just worked. My XMP DDR5-6000 worked. All my peripherals just work. Rock solid. Highly recommended.
