Solid Board
Pros: Nice beefy heatsinks, durable solid capacitors, triple SLI/CFX capability, great price for 990 chipset, plenty of USB ports, muted gray color scheme allows for more diversified color options in my build without the board dictating the usual blue or red. Very solidly built board overall.
Cons: BIOS is a little quirky. I did manage a pretty easy 4GHz OC of my FX-6300, but there are options in the BIOS that I haven't seen on other bios' and the manual isn't much help as far as explaining. ECS' site and a google search were negative for explanations as well. Some of the original options to this board were removed, such as the on-board power and reset buttons as well as the digital code display. I would have deducted more than one egg for the removal of these functions had it not been for such a great price reduction (I bought this board on sale for $113)!
Overall Review: I have read the other reviews with RAM issues. I have not experienced any of these issues myself, but I have yet to run more than 8GB. I have used both the Patriot Viper 3 (2 x 4GB) 1600MHz and the Crucial Ballistix Sport (4 x 2GB) 1600MHz without issue.
Nice product with excellent packaging!
Pros: -Price -Stylish design -Wireless -Multiple DPI settings
Cons: -Connectivity had intermittent disconnects -Customer service wanted to play 20-questions rather than RMA the product.
Overall Review: This is a great mouse for general everyday use/web browsing. However it was marketed as a "gaming mouse". IMO it was not near responsive enough for gaming. The connectivity issue was problematic.
You get what you pay for...
Pros: -Inexpensive -Good looks
Cons: -ear covers are too narrow and impeded sound -sound is not very loud or of good quality -mic is choppy like it has a bad connection
Overall Review: -I bought these for my son who is hard on equipment in general, so I wasn't too interested in paying $100. I guess I should have spent a little more.
AMAZING!
Pros: -Very bright (dimmable) -Good airflow -LOTS of options for color and design -Great price!
Cons: -non yet
Overall Review: I bought two sets for my latest build and linked all 6 fans to one controller. Works like a charm! I absolutely love these fans!
Great PSU so far!
Pros: -Runs quiet -Great price -Full modular
Cons: -non so far
Overall Review: I have owned three Raidmax power supplies over my 14 years of PC building. They have all been great and lasted me several years. I only had one start to cause me some issues and it was 10 years old and ran non-stop in a gaming rig which was later turned into a mining rig.
Great for cooling - RGB needs work.
Pros: -Best quality is that it keeps my FX-8320 (OC'd) nice and cool ~25-35C. -Excellent price point for 240mm AIO. -Easy to install on AM3+ motherboard using existing motherboard mount system. -Despite other reviews I find it very quiet in my InWin 101 case.
Cons: -RGB lighting stopped working after 10 days. No matter what I try they just no longer come on. I suspect the 'in-line' controller. It seems cheap and flimsy, but I have no way of actually testing it.
Overall Review: I have read that others have had issues with the RGB lighting and that a secondary RGB controller can be purchased to make these work. This, however, makes the purchase far less of a bargain than I originally felt it was. Hence only the 3 star review.
PLEASE READ - DO NOT ORDER FROM 'TRADECOZONE' !!!
Initially I just wanted to cancel my order because after 5 days it still had not been shipped or even processed. I am accustomed to much faster service than that from Newegg. So I contacted the seller to cancel and received no response. So I contacted Newegg, who contacted them - THEN I get a response - they say no I can't cancel my order because it's already been processed, and they THEN they bill my PayPal for my order PLUS an additional $6.99 for a Fair Trade Extended Warranty (which I did not order)! The next day they post an inactive tracking number to the Newegg website showing item as shipped. I am now attempting to refute payment through PayPal. All they needed to do was cancel my order - it was only a $25 dollar mouse people. Cancel the order and move on with your lives!
Amazing customer service!
Highly recommend for quality of product and amazing customer service.
