Pros: What a Monster for the price. Runs all my games like a champ. BF4 online at High settings is perfect. Will be buying another very soon.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Buy 1, Then another. More than adequate for current games.

Powerful little wi-fi card

Rosewill RNX-AC1900PCE, Dual Band Wireless AC1900 Wi-Fi Adapter for Desktop, Up to 1300 Mbps (5.0 GHz) + 600 Mbps (2.4 GHz) Wireless Data Rates, PCI-Express Interface, 3 x External Antennas

Pros: Easy install and setup Works very well with a Samsung S7 and Gear VR.

Cons: No utility software leaving only windows to fine tune the cards capabilities, which is somewhat confusing if you aren't savvy with such things.

Overall Review: i intended to utilize this card as an access point on the 5ghz band. While doable, you either need software that will do it for you automatically, or you have to be willing to run a line of code in the cmd. Either of this options is acceptable, but it would have been nice if some software was included that handled this. Same can be said for the cards setup once installed and running. Regardless I still got it running, and it works well.

Does what it needs to do

Pros: Keeps my AMD 8350 at around within safe ranges.

Cons: Once mounted inside my Thermaltake Urban S71 case, the side panel clips the fans and radiator and will not fit correctly. Thus the side panel of the case does not seal properly. One would think that Thermaltake would make their products fit correctly with one another. Small price to pay however, since my case is mostly out of sight. But something to keep in mind.

Overall Review: I have a slight overclock running on my cpu. 4.5 up from 4.0. Under max load and extended use temps rarely hit 50c. At idle it sits around 10-13c. This may be in part to my current case setup, but so long as you have good airflow within your case, this cooler will work just fine.
