Mad Catz F.R.E.Q.5 Stereo Gaming Headset for PC and Mac - Matte Black
Mad Catz F.R.E.Q.5 Stereo Gaming Headset for PC and Mac - Matte Black

Pros: I've tried many brands of headphones and none of them have last me more than 4 months.The metal headphone joints solve the issue of headphones breaking in that jointed area. The mute and volume controls are in ideal locations. One one the best functions of these headphones are when i am not gaming I can use them as headphones to listen to my music. The detachable microphone is so awesome. The cord is made from nylon, not rubber! This is a solid design. These headphones are amazing!

Cons: No cons. none

Overall Review: As a child i remember mad catz making cheap ps2 controllers that lasted no more than 4 weeks. I had built this stigma toward them over time. I bought a cyborg Rat7 mouse and was super impressed! I figured that i would invest money in these headphones. I made the best headphone investment ever when I bought these! Mad Catz, you have proven to me your cyborg line products are of high quality. You have earned a loyal customer.

The Work Horse Finally Broke.

Gigabyte Aivia Osmium Cherry Red Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Blue Back-lit (GK-OSMIUM)
Gigabyte Aivia Osmium Cherry Red Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Blue Back-lit (GK-OSMIUM)

Pros: It took me 3.5 years to break this keyboard. I loved the keyboard button removal tool they included. The key illumination never stop working on any of the keys. When adjusting the brightness on the keyboard please make note of temporarily blindness. The keyboard shines brighter than one-thousand suns. The macro buttons where placed in the most convenient location. It has very sturdy keys even after face smashing game rages. This keyboard will be the standard for buying my next keyboard ( or perhaps ill just another one! )

Cons: I almost knocked off 1 egg because of this keyboards downfall. I dub it a " Ozzy Osbourne" death. Like all the crazy Substances he has done and not died from, he will probably die from something simple. Like Ozzy I have done some crazy things to this keyboard. Extreme drops ( don't ask why), extreme colds, and extreme hots. The keyboards downfall was 1 Tablespoon of water. Literally 1 tablespoon.

Overall Review: I really hope the Ozzy Osbourne description wasn't too overboard. To really solve the water spillage problem is easy! Just don't drink near the keyboard! Although in my opinion that is equal to cooking ramen noodles on the stove top versus a microwave. I'm hungry now and the microwave is faster and easier. It's inconvenient to use the stove top. This is a real and true review. i just have a colorful way to describe things.

You won't regret this MB

ASRock 990FX Extreme9 AM3+ AMD 990FX + SB950 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
ASRock 990FX Extreme9 AM3+ AMD 990FX + SB950 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS

Pros: Everything. I love the intel gigabit internet addition. Memory OC'd to 2450? yup love that too.

Cons: The silver top covers on the voltage regulator and Northbridge are very sharp on the edges. Comes with no stock cooling solution for the voltage regulator.

Overall Review: as you might have seen with other reviews on this board. the socket is hot. Ill agree/ my AMD 8350 is clocked at 4.8 Ghz and CPUTIN ( CPUID HWmonitor) Maxes out of 75c. There is a solution for that. I took my voltage regulator cooling fan from my Asrock extreme 4 and super glued it to my back plate and plugged it into one of my 3 pins on my MB. My cputin temp dropped 15-20c. The cputin and core temps shouldn't be confused as the same.

Arctic Silver 5 High-Density Polysynthetic Silver Thermal Compound AS5-3.5G
Arctic Silver 5 High-Density Polysynthetic Silver Thermal Compound AS5-3.5G

Pros: This is by far the best thermal compound on the market. You will never see me use anything but Arctic Silver 5. On regular and performance computer builds i use Arctic Silver 5. You need to use it too!

Cons: Arctic Silver 5 will never have a con.

Overall Review: I stopped counting at 35 total computer builds. I've done plenty more. In my consumer history, It seems that all the great products are pulled off the market. I would become furious if this product is pulled off the market. Long live the Arctic Silver 5!!
