Most Favorable Review

This is the cooler you have been looking for.

CORSAIR Hydro Series, H115i RGB PLATINUM, 280mm, 2 x ML PRO 140mm RGB PWM Fans, RGB Lighting & Fan Control w/ Software, Liquid CPU Cooler. CW-9060038-WW. Support: Intel 1200, 2066, AMD AM4, TR4.
CORSAIR Hydro Series, H115i RGB PLATINUM, 280mm, 2 x ML PRO 140mm RGB PWM Fans, RGB Lighting & Fan Control w/ Software, Liquid CPU Cooler. CW-9060038-WW. Support: Intel 1200, 2066, AMD AM4, TR4.

Pros: -Beautiful RGB lighting -Mag Lev fans are very quiet -Mag Lev 140mm fans still move a lot of air -Installation was easy -iCue software controls it all -Keeps my proc chill

Cons: -No it's not cheap -iCue still has a few bugs

Overall Review: I needed a very good cooler for my i9 9900K and this H115i fit the bill perfectly. Installation was not hard at all and took about 10-15 minutes. The iCue software lets you set up profiles and is fairly easy and intuitive to use. It may take a few minutes playing with it - or watching YouTube videos to understand everything iCue does, but it's working fine for me. Most importantly this cooler is very quiet. I mean I can't hear it at all. Not even the pump. And cooling? Wow....My idle temps are in the 20's C and it gets 50ish C while gaming or performing other tasks. I've got several friends in the computer business and they all were very impressed when they saw my i9 9900K rig using this cooler with the RGB lights (my case is a Fractal Design Define R6 with a tempered glass panel so you can easily see the cooler's RGB lights, and they look stunning). I know it seems a little too highly priced for some - but I am happy that it's cooling my 9900K so well. It was worth every penny for me. Even though these ML fans are primarily made for noise reduction, they still do a great job of pushing and pulling air. This is a 5 Egg cooler!

Massive and super powerful GPU!

Pros: The most powerful card you can get. 24GB of VRAM. Beautiful looking design. Runs cool - great fans.

Cons: Price is quite high.

Overall Review: This is a great graphics card. The best of the best. Needed it for productivity and photo work as well as gaming. I couldnt wait any longer for the RTX 4xxx series so I pulled the trigger. Very happy with purchase.

Great SSD. 870 QVO.

Overall Review: Recommend this SSD. Installed and working in 5 minutes. Samsung Magician recognized it instantly and benchmarks show it 560MB/s read and 510MB/s write. Quality drive. Got 2TB version.

Absolutely fantastic processor! Fast fast fast.

Overall Review: Highly recommend this processor. Went for 10th gen Intel over 11th gen to get 10 cores and 20 threads. Very happy I did. This is a fast and cool running processor. Cooling with a Corsair H115i and it idles in 30s C. At 5GHz on all cores! Hits mid-high 50s under load. Ryzen is fine (I have a second AMD rig with a R5 5600 but this i9 10900K is my main daily driver. Love it. Planning on skipping Alder Lake and hope to get a solid couple of years out of this. Just dropped in a 3080 and couldnt be happier. Great CPU. The ultimate in optimized 14nn

Wow!!! Very impressed with this card.

EVGA GeForce RTX 2080 XC2 ULTRA GAMING, 08G-P4-2187-KR, 8GB GDDR6, iCX2 & RGB LED
EVGA GeForce RTX 2080 XC2 ULTRA GAMING, 08G-P4-2187-KR, 8GB GDDR6, iCX2 & RGB LED

Pros: PROS: Incredibly fast. Equal to or > GTX 1080Ti. As drivers mature it will beat 1080 Ti even more Ray Tracing. Not here yet - but it’s coming DLSS - again too new right now but it will get better Even without the new tech - card is a beast The XC2 Ultra fans runs very quiet and cool well Has icx heat sensors all over card Yes it has RGB if you’re into that Uses Precision X1 software Plays any 4K game at 60FPS or over without RT Slays 1440p and 1080p Looks stunning - very high quality build You can use step up program to get a Ti EVGA has great customer service 8GB of GDDR6 - very fast VRAM

Cons: CONS: Heavy -thick - and BIG! May cause sag (I have a anti sag brace) RtX only works on 3 games and not very well so far Same for DLSS Cost. This card is pricey. RGB very limited 8 GB of VRAM instead of 11GB (not really a con though)

Overall Review: I sold a GTX 1080 and bought this card to replace it. Wow what an upgrade. Without using any of the RTX and DLSS stuff this card is slightly better than a GTX 1080 TI. On my 4K Dell monitor getting 60FPS or close to it on any game I play. With Tweaking can get over 60 depending on game. Give the RTX stuff a while to mature. I’m sure there will be a killer app. It just too soon. But for a gaming card. This is the way to go. Much better than the loud and hot VEGA 7. I recommend this card 100%.

This is a very good quality- high end motherboard. Great job MSI!

MSI MEG Z390 ACE LGA 1151 (300 Series) Intel Z390 USB 3.1 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: -Solid construction and packaging - looks really high-end -Built-in USB 3.1 Gen 2, BT 5.0, and 802.11ac wi-fi (no more add-on stuff) -Very beefy VRM design (13 phase) -Beautiful design and colors -great looking board -Cool Infinity Mirror RGB display -Tons of connectivity -ESS Audio DAC, and Nahimic SW (actually sounds really good) -1 M.2 Shield + 3 M.2 slots -Great and intuitive BIOS - made for overclocking (just get a really good cooler) -Set up was a breeze and things like fan headers are placed in good positions -Steel reinforced connections -No I/O plate to worry about (it's built onto the board) -Supports up to 4500MHz (OC) DDR4

Cons: -Price is a little steep -No video outputs for IGP (not really a con for me- I never use IGP)

Overall Review: This board was purchased to make a new i9 9900K build, and I wanted to make sure I got a board with an adequate power delivery which this board has in spades (12+0+1: 13 phases). Board looks fantastic too -with the grey color scheme. Layout of board is very smart, lots of fan headers and the OLED display is a very cool thing to see. Now if I could just get my i9 9900k (they are like unicorns in the U.S. right now), then I'll bet set. Right now I have a borrowed i7 8700 in the system since I can't get my back-ordered i9 9900K. Set up was a breeze and the board has worked flawlessly with this proc since day 1. Everything runs great, and the BIOS is smooth and intuitive, not clunky like Gigabytes. It's second only to ASUS's. Voltages seems spot on too (it doesn't seem to be overvolting like some Z370/Z390 boards have been doing). I know MSI is not the most popular brand with everyone, and a lot of folks automatically go with ASUS, but if you have the money, and want a solid board, give this one a look. It's really a top shelf mobo. I will update if and when I get my i9 9900K and install it. I give this one 5 eggs.
