ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1050 Ti DirectX 12 ZT-P10510A-10L 4GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 HDCP Ready Mini Video Card

Pros: HDCP Ready, Compact, Gets power from mainboard, quiet fan

Cons: None So Far

Overall Review: Has 3 video ports, DVI, HDMI & Display Port for 3 monitor support. I have this connected to my 4K monitor via the display port. Used with an Intel Coffee Lake processor and series 300 Z370 main board & 16GB of DDR4 2666 ram. Very Satisfied

Not Compatible With LTH Discs!!!

ASUS Black 12X Blu-ray Burner SATA BW-12B1ST/BLK/G/AS
ASUS Black 12X Blu-ray Burner SATA BW-12B1ST/BLK/G/AS

Pros: This is a follow up review to an earlier one I wrote about 4 or 5 weeks ago.

Cons: The Asus web site specifically states that this drive will burn 4x LTH discs. In fact it does not. I tried Verbatim LTH 2x. Asus does not offer a firmware update for this drive. When I contacted Asus by phone and email support I was given the run around. I was always referred to the product page for a firmware update that didn't exist. A total waste of time!!!!!!!!!!!

Intel Core i3-12100 - Core i3 12th Gen Alder Lake Quad-Core 3.3 GHz LGA 1700 Processor 60W Intel UHD Graphics 730 Desktop Processor - BX8071512100

Pros: Works Great with my motherboard ASrock B660M-HDV. Can't complain. Started right up the very first time

Cons: None

Overall Review: This build replaced a 7 year old Asrock Z370 Pro4 LGA 1151 (300 Series) + i3-8350k Quad Core. Why did I replace it? Because windows 11 needed a new home

ZALMAN CNPS 10X Optima-II 180W CPU Air Cooler with Spectrum RGB LED Fan, For AMD AM5 / AM4, and Intel LGA 1700 / 1200 / 1151 / 2066 / 2011 (X99, X79), White

Pros: The PWM fan is really quiet and works great. I used it with arctic silver thermal paste. Easy to install.

Cons: Not really a con but I don't like the bright light show with it's twirling design. I am thinking about disconnecting the light wire

Overall Review: I am very pleased with the results. Keeps my cpu cool. Can't beat it for the money!! I recommend installing the cpu cooler on the motherboard before mounting the board into your case. Also the fan barely touches the first stick of ram.
