Good product

Baaqii F01 3.5" PC CPU HDD 4 Channel Fan Speed Controller Control Led Cooling Front Panel
Baaqii F01 3.5" PC CPU HDD 4 Channel Fan Speed Controller Control Led Cooling Front Panel

Pros: It works as advertised. Plugged in all my fans to it.

Cons: No cons per say. Refer other comments / observations.

Overall Review: For about 10 USD, I have made worse purchases in my tenure at life. While it isn't up to 100% of my expectations, it does the job as it does control fan speeds pretty well. I don't have exact RPM's, but when opened all the way up, it does make a difference. 3 fans are attached to a 360mm rad, works good in a pull config (cosmos II top mounted rad / fan setup), then to the 140mm fan on the back side of the case. My overall goal of this is to maintain positive pressure in the case. So far so good. Yes, I am giving it 5 eggs, as I have no real cons for it. I just remind myself I only paid a few bucks, and am overall pleased with it.

Stable, just what I wanted

EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 G5, 80 Plus Gold 1000W, Fully Modular, ECO Mode with Fdb Fan, 100% Japanese Capacitors, 10 Year Warranty, Compact 150mm Size, Power Supply 220-G5-1000-X1
EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 G5, 80 Plus Gold 1000W, Fully Modular, ECO Mode with Fdb Fan, 100% Japanese Capacitors, 10 Year Warranty, Compact 150mm Size, Power Supply 220-G5-1000-X1

Pros: Cables are great - and come inside a mesh sleeve. Smaller than my 10 year old Corsair 850! Came with plenty of other odds and ends cables.

Cons: Eco mode? I mean, that's cute in all, but would rather of had it default on eco mode, and then have an option for 'regular' mode.

Overall Review: I wanted something a bit beefer than my previous build, and figured 1000w would do the trick. So far so good! Just a good product, and I would recommend it.

Pretty good for the price

Pros: Installs real easySound isnt badPretty ok quality

Cons: No cons specifically.

Overall Review: I'd have been willing spend a bit more on a better kit, but I didnt find any available. I dont want to buy a kit piecemeal either - either way, i'm happy with this buy. Didnt cost a lot, so when it fails / breaks, I wont be too sad.

Great for AM4 / Ryzen

Pros: It's a good block, what else to say. No issues with it.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Went from intel to AMD for this build. Already running a XSPC custom loop and needed to change from an Intel block to an AMD block. Literally unscrewed the tubes from one block and installed on this. I let it run a few hours to make sure there were no leaks - and installed the block. The directions are decent for a potato like myself to follow. Just make sure everything is plugged in PRIOR to firing up your rig. I forgot and nearly created a steam explosion in my rig! Thank heavens I watching it like a hawk - found the wire that needed to get plugged in and haven't had an issue since. Running it on a 5800x - and that baby is a little toasty. The previous chip - i7-6700k would idle around 25c, and reach 40-45c under load. The 5800x idles at 40c,and reaches 60-65c under load. After some homework, it would appear that those temps are pretty normal. All that aside, works great!

It's good I guess

Pros: They boosted to their advertised frequency. They both [2x16gb] worked with no issue.

Cons: Unicorn puke RGB on it. Gross. I could care less about lighting.

Overall Review: MSI Meg x570 UnifyAMD 5800xI'm not a tech-head - I did some homework on making sure the mem was compatible with my mobo - and it was on the whitelist. I read from multiple sources that CL 16 was good - and I still dont understand why it's good. Overall, it's the least understood component of my rig. Nevertheless, i'm pleased that it's doing what it's supposed to be doing and wasnt DOA.

Small, not expensive, did the job

Pros: Small, Fast, and has some space.No malware detected on it.

Cons: Zero.

Overall Review: I wanted a dedicated USB to house windows, bios flashes, some drivers, and not ping anything to beijing - this fit the bill.
