Great product from Key Components
Pros: Great budget cpu and very fast coming from an fx8150.
Cons: None
Overall Review: Bought 28th June, received 8th July. Considering this was shipped from China thats some good timing. Although the biggest problem I had was that the tracking via newegg never updated. It was stuck on label created from the time I purchased to the time I received it. It arrived in the typical ryzen packaging with the included fan, the font on the fron of the box in the corner is in Chinese but otherwise the print on the cpu itself is your standard ryzen letters and in English. I'm coming from a FX 8150 so the difference between this 3300x and that is night and day. I wanted to get started on an AM4 but didn't want to go all out just yet and this 3300x is great to start out with on a budget. Now I have a board capable of accepting the higher ryzen cpus when I'm ready to upgrade again.
EDIT: LCD no longer works
Pros: SEE CONS
Cons: Battery doesnt hold a charge for as long as say a cellphone or nintendo or something but this is meant to be in a car with its adapter so its not worth knocking an egg of about.<br><br>New Edit: This device appears to be crapping out on me. I didnt do the math or nothing but it seems that it takes 4 out of 5 resets to have the screen functioning. The device will power on but the screen literally stay white. I have no idea if its recording or not because i cant see anything on the display. <br>This is very inconvenient if you trust the device to record what you see in front of you because youll have to power it down 4 or 5 times before the screen will start functioning. <br><br>Changed from 5 eggs to 3 simply because it still functions, but not as advertised. The lcd screen has officially stopped working. After a dozen power cycles the screen remains white. Heres what this means: I am STUCK at the current settings I have because I cannot navigate to the menus and see what I am selecting. I am effectively locked out of the menu. I have to manually connect the device to a computer to clear the storage. A no screen lcd with no settings access is not worth $100. I DO NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE PURCHASE THIS DEVICE IF THEY EXPECT IT TO WORK MORE THAN A COUPLE MONTHS.
Now my peripherals all match!
Pros: Easy to set up, matches my Mamba and Blackwidow nicely! All three items show up under Synapse and have the same customization, although the light may not be as pretty as the Keyboard.
Cons: minor complaint that are really not worth knocking off an egg for: Reactive setting reacts to when mouse buttons are pressed and the entire LED mouse mat lights up and dims as opposed to how the settings are on the keyboard and mouse. Like I said this is extremely minor and am just pointing it out for possible buyers but it really isnt a big deal.
Overall Review: Honestly i would recommend a hard gaming mat now that I have gamed on this one but I got the Firefly simply to match my other components and it is quite nice.
Love it! No issues at all!
Pros: Large case with space for all your cooling needs. Premium quality Cable management is perfect Saw various reviews about cracks in the case/see through window and I have to say mine had no problems whatsoever
Cons: No cons at all. This case comes with USB 3.0, which i knew, but I neglected to realize that my MB doesnt have the 20 pin internal connector so thats my bad.
Perfect for what I needed
Pros: Needed a simple hdd for a spare part build I made and this was cheap. HDD works perfectly and I have had no issues.
Cons: None
Solid Case
Pros: Bought this case as a "im bored and want to build something while waiting for Zen" for various parts lying around and the it turned in to a solid LAN party computer. Love the handle.
Cons: Was sent a different case? My side panel doesnt have the air vent and is designed differently. Otherwise its the same. This wont knock the score though to me.
Product is as described. Received 10 days after purchase
Yes this company is based out of China. The biggest issue I had was the tracking info. It suggested the label was created but after that there was no changes and the tracking # did not produce results. That being said, I reached out to Key Components on the 10th day to inquire about it and then I got my cpu the same day I reached out to them. If you want to get something faster then maybe you will find another seller in usa but 10 days shipping from China and getting the exact product as described (3300x) isn't too shabby if you are patient.
