Pros: + sleeved cables + black wires

Cons: – the locking mechanism of the 6+2 pin needs to be improved because they don't really stick together very well. I have to squeeze the two parts together when trying to plug it in – The ends of the cables are REALLY STIFF; the heatshrink parts are the stiffest. Feels like they're gonna break

Overall Review: It would be nice to get more of a variety of cables; e.g, GPU power cables that have "pig tails" and ones that don't. I only saw this because the PCI-e cable with the pig tail is incredibly stiff. It sticks out and gets in the way of the other part of the cable.

Pros: -Big rectagular window -Excellent airflow -Great fans -Very tactile, very easy to press power/reset buttons -Dust filters for all 3 bottom fans as well as PSU intake -Built-in fan controllers for the three 180mm air penetrator fans -Can fit almost any size GPU, PSU, and CPU heatsink

Cons: -Have to remove the top grill to access the fan controllers -Have to remove side panel to access dust filters -Barely enough space for cable management -Placement of PSU intake cut-out is too low for shorter PSUs as it covers part of the PSU fan -No grommets for cable management holes -Not enough tie-down points for zip-ties

Overall Review: The drive mounting system is SEMI-tool-less; i.e., the hard drives require screws to be mounted onto the drive rails before the drive rails can be slid into the drive cage. This isn't a perfect case, nowhere near perfect at all. However, if you're buying this case, then more likely than not you're buying it for its direct, uninterrupted, stacked airflow design. There are many other cases out there that solve all of the issues that the RV-02 has. However, if you're one of those people who would rather have superior airflow & temperatures, then the cons of the RV-02 might be something that you can live with.

Pros: + aesthetics look good!

Cons: – got memory-related BSODs when the system was built using a completely fresh OS install; got errors in MemTest as well.

Overall Review: Not sure if this is a "con," but DOCP sets DRAM voltage higher than specified on all packaging; i.e, the package states 1.35V but actually runs between 1.368–1.376V. I get BSODs during light workloads like web browsing. I get BSODs at the Windows log-in screen sometimes, too. I've even gotten a hard lock when the system was idling at the desktop. Yes, I even checked the MSI B450-A Pro MAX's QVL for this specific kit before purchasing. I know that G.Skill usually makes great RAM, but this is just unacceptable.

Pros: + black cables and header + sleeved cables + rubber-padded mounts on frame + sturdy frame

Cons: – one of the biggest issues is the screw fitment and strength; either the screw holes are too small, or the screws are too big. This causes an issue where the screws require a lot of torque to tighten all the way down flush, which results in damaging the Phillips head – the screw heads aren't wide enough to touch both sides of the fan mounting rails – adding to the issues above is the alignment of screws and screw holes—easily ends up at an angle even when starting straight on the hole

Overall Review: Overall, it's frustrating working with these fans because it doesn't seem like the screws were made for the frame. What's more frustrating is that I'm using a Phanteks case! The screws don't even seem to fit the fan mounting rails. This was my first pair of fans from Phanteks, and I'm incredibly disappointed with them. I recently bought a second pair of static pressure fans, and they had the same screw issues. I thought it was just a one-off issue, but I'm not going to risk it with their fans anymore.

I'm incredibly disappointed with Phanteks case fans.

Pros: Affordable price point as a refurb; 1440p; 144 Hz; FreeSync; 1 billion colors; IPS; full ergonomic adjustments; metal stand

Cons: Two major issues that made me return the monitor: 1. Couldn't get 10-bit color enabled through Radeon Software settings even when I adjusted the refresh rate down to 120 Hz as suggested by the bandwidth limitation. 2. A large portion of the screen had a serious temperature uniformity issue. The right half of the screen warmer than the left. Specifically, the top right is slightly green, bottom middle is slightly magenta, and the bottom right is yellow. The best spot is in the top left. Even the bottom left has some slight uniformity issue. This is unacceptable. Other minor reasons contributing to the poor experience: 1. Out of the box, the monitor's default settings are confusing. Is "Standard" mode the one that's factory-calibrated? Why does sRGB mode or HDR mode automatically enable the sharpening feature (which looks terrible). Why does adjusting brightness switch me from sRGB mode back to Standard? 2. The stand is metal and seems strong at first, but the position isn't locked tight; in the default position, the screen slightly pivots to the right as if it's heavier on the right side. 3. No cable management cut-out.

Overall Review: I'm not sure if the color accuracy is due to it being a refurb product, but this color performance isn't acceptable. I got this monitor because I hoped it would serve me in creative work during the day and high-end gaming during the night. If color accuracy and screen uniformity is a primary concern, then this monitor might not be for you.
