Most Favorable Review

Using it for the last 2 years

SeaSonic S12II Series S12II 620 Bronze (SS-620GB) 620 W Intel ATX 12 V 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply
SeaSonic S12II Series S12II 620 Bronze (SS-620GB) 620 W Intel ATX 12 V 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: Silent, powerful, long lasting, trusted, well-built

Cons: none

Overall Review: I have been using this PSU for over two years with zero trouble. My PC is always on, too. Quad core processor and high end graphics card, plus multiple HDD, SDD, several USB peripherals and a powerful audio card all running flawlessly.

Most Critical Review

Effective but Loud

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler, 4 CDC Heatpipes, 120mm PWM Fan, Aluminum Fins for AMD Ryzen/Intel LGA1200/1151
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler, 4 CDC Heatpipes, 120mm PWM Fan, Aluminum Fins for AMD Ryzen/Intel LGA1200/1151

Pros: Cooling is better than stock, good price, easy install

Cons: Even after adjusting fan settings, it's just too loud for me when gaming. I verified the noise is coming from the cpu cooler, not the video card. Also, my case has great cooling, and it's in a room with low ambient temperature, so there aren't any excuses for the noise. Then again, I'm a little more picky about sound than the average user; I don't like to hear the drone of computer fans with the volume at medium-low. It's on an Intel i7 Ivy Bridge processor 3770k with a modest overclock (4.4) These are known to run warmer than other processors.

Overall Review: I eventually upgraded to a Noctua NH-D14 and am glad I did. The Noctua is barely audible, now all I hear is the video card (MSI 670 Twin Frozr), barely, when pushing it like in a benchmark test or playing the most demanding games.

DIED AFTER 2 MONTHS. DO NOT BUY

Replacement Battery for Honeywell 3820, 4820, 6320 & Xenon 1902. 2600mAh
Replacement Battery for Honeywell 3820, 4820, 6320 & Xenon 1902. 2600mAh

Pros: Fits as described

Cons: Poor quality Short life Defective No warranty No replacement option through Newegg Junk

Overall Review: We used this battery in our shop for a barcode scanner and after exactly 2 months and 3 days from date of receipt, it stopped holding a charge. Replaced with another battery and everything works great.

Caution - NO over voltage / under voltage protection

EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2 220-G2-0750-XR 80+ GOLD 750W Fully Modular EVGA ECO Mode Includes FREE Power On Self Tester Power Supply
EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2 220-G2-0750-XR 80+ GOLD 750W Fully Modular EVGA ECO Mode Includes FREE Power On Self Tester Power Supply

Pros: Quiet, efficient. Great packaging. Good looking unit.

Cons: Claimed voltage protection is a lie. I previously used a Seasonic S12II 620 for years with no problems. Then "upgraded" to this 750 watt power supply. Within 2 months my motherboard was fried from a momentary dip in power. I know because our kitchen clock resets whenever there's a dip in the power and it happened the same time the PC stopped working. Took it in for repair verified the motherboard was fried. No other household electronics suffered from the brown out, like the stereo and TV, which were both on. Only the PC was affected. EVGA states: "Over Power / Under Power / Over Voltage / Short Circuit protection built in" Be warned--this EVGA power supply did NOT protect my system from a typical brown out, which were never a problem during the three and half years I owned the Seasonic.

8 MONTH LIFE SPAN

MSI GeForce GTX 670 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card N670 PE 2GD5/OC

Pros: Worked great for a while

Cons: Failed within 8 months

Overall Review: After several months of troubleshooting, replacing various components and trying repeatedly to fix the problem through other means (software updates, drivers) I am giving up and getting a new card. My PC works fine without the graphics card and works fine with other older cards. This one is done for. Yes I did some modest overclocking of the card when I had it, nothing extreme, and always within a very adequately cooled machine, plenty of air flow and cooling on board a large silverstone case. When I overclocked, it was always within a safe temperature and only by following guides to the letter. Never again! This card is toast and only after about 7 months of modest use. Next card will be straight factory settings and I'll hopefully keep it for years instead of months. Still, I believe this card should have lasted longer, all things considered.

Excellent, replaced my old board with this one

ASUS P8Z77-V LE PLUS LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
ASUS P8Z77-V LE PLUS LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: I replaced a dying ASRock board only 5 months old with this Asus P8Z77, which is working much better. Just looking at it and holding it seems like the Asus is built better, more sturdy. BIOS is easy to use and has an attractive interface. No junk apps, no adware. Everything works perfect right out of the box. Easy to setup.

Cons: none

Overall Review: I had an ASRock Z77 Extreme 4, similar price, which had higher reviews on Newegg. The USB ports stopped working after 5 months. Tried rolling back the drivers, updating drivers, tried everything on all the forums. Another month goes by and started having trouble resetting the PC...then trouble shutting down. Replaced the mobo with this Asus and all problems fixed. Didn't even have to reinstall windows (after using sysprep feature in Windows.) The Asus board figured everything out and just started working right away. Very happy. Never again ASROCK.
