Great Deal!

LG G Flex 2 H950 - 32GB AT&T ATT Unlocked International Curved 4G LTE Smartphone - Black
LG G Flex 2 H950 - 32GB AT&T ATT Unlocked International Curved 4G LTE Smartphone - Black

Pros: The phone looks like a brand new one. Took the SIM card out of my Asus Zen 2, put it in the Flex 2, and started using it. Call clarity is great! The phone did get hot when I did the software update to 5.1 but I guess that is normal for the processor. It is fast too. Lot of ATT app stuff on there, I just disabled most of it. Al in all a steal at this price. The box had a sticker on the back that said something about an unlock code but I didn't have to do anything except swap SIM cards. I like the tap pattern to unlock the screen too. Call clarity is better than any phone I have owned. Just came off of 4 years using Apple products... This phone also hooked right up to my 5gHz wireless network. The camera is good, took some indoor shots that came out well.

Cons: None yet

Overall Review: Only time will tell if the phone will hold up and is bugless.

Nice cable!

Darkside 4-Pin Dual Fan Power Y-Cable Splitter - Jet Black (DS-0095)

Pros: High quality materials and build.

Cons: none

Overall Review: This is the best fan splitter for the money

good compound for the money

Noctua NT-H1 3.5g, Pro-Grade Thermal Compound Paste (3.5g)
Noctua NT-H1 3.5g, Pro-Grade Thermal Compound Paste (3.5g)

Pros: Highly rated on Tom's Hardware Easy to apply

Cons: None

Overall Review: This came with my NH14 and I tried the leftovers on an AMD Wraith cooler. Worked much better than the stock paste, lowering the idle temp 10 degrees. (X3-790)

What a card! Still a beast...

MSI GeForce GTX 980TI GAMING 6G GOLDEN EDITION
MSI GeForce GTX 980TI GAMING 6G GOLDEN EDITION

Pros: Made The Division pop. Nvidia GeForce Experience optimized game settings for ultra graphics but the frame rate was 54 or so on my 2K monitor. I lowered it to high graphics settings and turned off V-sync too. Since my monitor is only 60 Hz, I limited the frame rate to 60. This has added a level of detail that is incredible. Have only run it for 12 hours or so but, wow! I was running a GTX 970 on medium and this blows it away... I will try tweaking the shadow detail up to ultra settings as it will help with sniping the bad guys in the incursions and seeing them inside the subways.

Cons: None so far. I am running this on a i7-5820 rig with a 1200 watt power supply. I would be sure your power supply is up to the task and has 2 eight pin connectors. The peak wattage is only 175 watts, supposedly. I don't have any way to check the current draw but the fans do spin up during heavy action with lots of explosions. I think the stock fan profile may be a little conservative so I will use Afterburner to tweak up the base setting.

Overall Review: I got a great deal via Newegg prefered membership so I couldn't pass up buying this card. If you have to pay full price, it might be better to wait for the 1070/1080 so you can get the DX12 and better performance. It is still a great value even with the price that they went back up to this week.

Works as it should
