SeaSonic SS-750KM3 750W ATX12V V2.3 / EPS 12V V2.91 SLI Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Full Modular Active PFC Power Supply New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready

Pros: Powering a Z87 Pro, i7 4770k @ 4.5, 2 Samsung 840 EVO 250G SSD's, GTX 770 4G, 16G G. Skill Rip Jaws, Thermaltake Water 3.0 120mm AIO, 2TB WD Black HDD for just over a year now without a hitch.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: After the first one was DOA, this unit has been perfect as I expected. Stable, quiet, no problems at all.

Most Critical Review

Follow up to my previous reiew

SteelSeries 61051SS 7H USB Headset
SteelSeries 61051SS 7H USB Headset

Pros: Look good.

Cons: Headset is actually a poor;y designed, cheaply made piece of garbage. Customer service reps confirmed to be untrained chimpanzees..

Overall Review: So after 3.5 months, my ordeal with steelseries has come to an end. For my efforts they sent me 2 Siberia V2's and a Fnatic 7H. I initially bought the 7h USB because it is a 7.1 surround headset, and the 3 they sent me are not... Which I explained to them numerous times, and even asked why they kept sending me the wrong headset, that if the 7H USB wasn't available, to notify me and set up an alternative exchange. Which they never did. Just kept sending me "stuff" I didn't want. I now have 3 boxes in my closet collecting dust. A few days later they messaged me that the 7H USB was out of stock. But, I was still able to purchase one from their own site, and even here. The only place they were magically out of stock was in the service reps mind. So in our last exchange, I had had enough and called them names I can't post here. To which they said I had been fairly compensated, that my verbal abuse was "unwarranted" and then they banned me. True story. The end.

Great fan!

Thermaltake A1926 120mm Blue LED Case Fan
Thermaltake A1926 120mm Blue LED Case Fan

Pros: I've had 1 of these on the side window of my rig for 3 years now and it's still running perfectly. The LED's are still bright, it moves a good amount of air and it's quiet. To put things in perspective a whisper is 30db and normal speech is 60db. My CPU fan is louder then a whisper and not louder than normal speech so I say this fan is quiet.

Cons: Do not mount a Tt 80mm blue fan and this fan next to each other because they are not the same shade of blue.

Overall Review: I also have 5 80mm Tt smart fans(Thermaltake A1357)to handle the rest of the cooling. 2 bottom front intake, 2 upper rear exhaust all on lowest speed with the 5th on the CPU full blast. I also used silicone grommets on all my fan screws and all I hear is a low hum coming from my case. If I maxed all my fans it's a little louder then a microwave oven. Anyhow, I love all my Tt fans so I came back to buy more for my future build and decided to write a review as well. I'm soon retiring this P4 2.8e @ 3.6/Asus p4p800/2gig Corsair XMS/Sapphire X800XTPE/Tt 480w/WD HD's/Swiftech heatsinks for a E8400/EVGA 680i/Gigabyte 8800GT's/4gigs OCZ Reaper PC2 9200/2 WD 150g Raptors RAID 0/OCZ 700w/Tt Armor/Tt fans/Zalman 9500A heatsink All purchased here because Newegg rules.
