review of NH-D14 SE2O11
Pros: very well made, the instructions were very clear on what and what not to do. if you are going to cool by air and not water, this the cooler is for you, it kept a i75820K at under 60c with 3Dmark and heaven benchmark. It was not that hard to install at all compared to other coolers which you needed an extra pair of hands
Cons: none at this time
Overall Review: this is a very big cooler recheck you case twice to make sure. this cooler went on a msi X99s gaming7 M/B and into a cool master CM storm trooper tower with no issues at all in fact this HAS been the easiest installlation I have ever done. Price yes it is steep but if you are going with air then this is it,
good looking M/B bad QA
Pros: I did not but this M/B at newegg, but at a local dealer for a new build for a famaliy member. 5930K, EVGA970, 32 gigs G.SKILL ripjaws 4 3000 mem, 2 samsung 1 TERABYTE SSD, 1 WD 1TERABYTE RAPTOR, 1 4 TERABYTE WD HD. Setup went well and after mild stress testing all looked good the MB does OC easy and and it was stable with a 4.5 OC all connectors were easy to get to. It was a very good MB
Cons: It just died after 32 days at stock speed, put ALL componts in a different MB ran them 24/7 for 4 days all was good RMA this M/B and that is when the nightmare started, asus sent back same dead M/b after 2 more RMA's they offered to send me a RAMPAGE EXTREME V after some hiccups I did get it. Also I paid for the return becuase I wanted to get this done. Asus use to be my go to company not anymore not for this kind of money.
Overall Review: I understand that things happen BUT at this level NO, did they do the right thing with the RE5 yes AFTER I had to scream at them
it is not better then a gtx 970
Pros: it's new
Cons: it was to replace an evga gtx 970 it fail all banchmarks. I understand that it is an entry level card BUT it should be just a hair better then what it is going to replace.
Overall Review: The blame is on me I should have done my home work I got lazy and i had to RMA, newegg as always was very good and the whole way was out standing from the phone call to giving the package to ups. I have say this all who read this, it is the people who work for this company who make the company and that is why I am a custumer of this company
Pros: for a 2011-v3 this is a very good cooler it keeps a 5930K at idle at 34C at load it has not gone over 57C overclock to 4.6 if you do not want to water cool this is the next best thing
Cons: none
Overall Review: rampage extremeV, g.skill ripjaws 4, evga 970. it will cover the first pcie slot so keep in mind but other then that, there was no problems installing this cooler
review of i7 5930K
Pros: this is a cpu that has work from video editing 3D video and and gameing no problems. If you want an all round cpu to work with this is the one. you do not have to overclock it it is that fast, I have on air cooler and it rarely goes over 50c
Cons: none
review of 5820K
Pros: if you are into video and sound editing this cpu will do you well. Depening on the M/B you have, this cpu overclocks to 4.5 easy on an air cooler. I have ripjaws 3000 32 gigs and it handeled it very well
Cons: none it all depends on the M/B and how they use the chip set. remember this is a 28 lane cpu if you have one video card and move it to another pciexpress 16 slot it will run at 8 not 16
