Most Favorable Review

To all the people who dont know...

Turtle Beach Ear Force P11 Headset
Turtle Beach Ear Force P11 Headset

Pros: Great sound quality. First headset I have ever had and its great.

Cons: None

Overall Review: To everyone. The game volume doesnt work and the chat works only because ur using it through usb on a pc. On PC you can only use one connection at a time. On ps3, the voice is transmitted through usb and game sound it transmitted through the 3.5mm jack. So on pc, you cant use both at once, while ps3 it natively uses both.

Most Critical Review

Good

Cyber Acoustics CA-5402 40Watts 5.1 5 Piece Flat Panel Design Subwoofer & Satellite Speaker System
Cyber Acoustics CA-5402 40Watts 5.1 5 Piece Flat Panel Design Subwoofer & Satellite Speaker System

Pros: Well this is just an edit. so everything i said before

Cons: The center speaker has way worse quality then the rest, so i just went into sound options and schose 4.1 speakers instead of 5.1 so i didnt have to hear the crappyness.

Quality Control

Fractal Design Torrent Compact Black TG Dark Tempered Glass High-Airflow ATX Computer Case

Pros: Great airflow, looks fantastic.

Cons: Poor quality control. Mine came with a blemish on the bottom trim. Not a big deal, only cosmetic. Included 180mm fans make an annoying clicking sound. Front panel headphone jack is loose, front USB ports are extremely tight.

Overall Review: Great case, but for the price I'd expect better quality control. The soft plastic doesn't seem like it'll hold up very well, but time will tell. Cable management is a little tight, but I see that as a good thing - it encourages you to do a good job.

Audio buzz under load.

ASRock Z690 Phantom Gaming 4/D5 LGA 1700 (14th,13th,12th Gen) DDR5 ATX Intel Z690 Intel Motherboard

Pros: 13th gen worked out of the box without use of bios flashback despite being on an older bios revision. Cheapest DDR5 board available for 13th gen when I ordered it. Handles 230w CPU under load no problem. Three gen 4x4 m.2 slots plus WiFi slot. Black PCB looks nice.

Cons: VRM heatsink mount is flimsy. Audio buzz from headphone jack under load. Tried two different cases, same result. Realtek and Nahimic drivers made no difference.

Overall Review: If you're looking for an affordable 13th gen compatible DDR5 board with a Z series chipset, look no further!

Great board!

ASRock P67 EXTREME4 GEN3 LGA 1155 Intel P67 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
ASRock P67 EXTREME4 GEN3 LGA 1155 Intel P67 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: I've had this board for over 2 years, on year 3 now, and it hasn't failed me once. The bios is easy to use and functional, unlike my Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H, which has a terrible bios that doesn't allow me to change any settings in advanced mode. Other than that, it overclocks my 2500k to 5ghz easily. The looks are better than most boards.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Brown PCB is eh, so are the things on the heatsinks. Digi power abd extreme are alright, but whats with the random V8 on the chipset heatsink?

Update to my previous review

XFX Double D Radeon HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card FX-795A-TDFC

Pros: None at all. Good while it lasted?

Cons: So I contacted XFX support about the rattling fan issue. They sent me a new heatsink. But guess what? For some odd reason, newegg gave me the wrong card. My card has 2 dvi ports, and it is only supposed to have one. Therefore, the heatsink did not fit. I decided to just take the fans off the new heatsink (that wasnt actually new, used and dusty) and put them on the heatsink that fit. So I did that, and put everything back together. I ran furmark to test out the card, and my computer shut off. I turned it back on, and ran furmark, and again, a crash, but now the computer does not turn on with the card in the system. The card didnt get about 75 before crashing... And also I cannot contact support because their website is down (brings me to some bogus site "Xbez eXtended Back End Support Service System") XFX, what has happened to you?

Overall Review: The real support site better be up soon, because I can barely read half the broken english on the current one. If it was soon enough to return, I would... Also I don't know what happened to the card. I doubt it was my doing (did not apply to much thermal paste and short, and did not slip with the screwdriver and damage traces...) Fans were plugged in and heatsink was put on properly.
