Oh wow Its what I needed

noblechairs ICON Series Black/Platinum White
noblechairs ICON Series Black/Platinum White

Pros: pro''s to many to list, easier to list cons. pro's leather or extremely leather like perforated, at least some attempt to remove under rump heat black and white stitching looks good Wheels roll perfect, they seem softer than normal the back tilts slightly forward, for forward hunch typing, and goes forward even further (eating with your elbows on the table. The arms reached high enough where I can rest elbows in line with keyboard It economically approaches Bentley, Rolls-Royce quality , and wont help make your room look bad black and white stitching matches leather desktop fixtures, definite perk I perfer slightly stiff leather in a tight wrap, and cushions assist the whole way, making hours comfort no squeaking or horrible noise with movement

Cons: the only cons are the arm rests are really hard, or I'm too old. Found a solution though, bought 2 GelPads 8x3 in. on Amzon Oh wow total difference, they dont make the chair look horrible either, almost fit chair arms perfect, + or - 1/16 at corners

Most Critical Review

Watch Out For Acer

Acer GD235HZbid Black / Orange 23.6" HDMI Widescreen 1080p NVIDIA LCD 120Hz 3D Monitor 300 cd/m2 ACM 80000:1
Acer GD235HZbid Black / Orange 23.6" HDMI Widescreen 1080p NVIDIA LCD 120Hz 3D Monitor 300 cd/m2 ACM 80000:1

Pros: Well, its a monitor

Cons: The customer service is insane. I had dead pixels paid 50 for shipping. Then prior I sent pictures, a detailed explanation, and tried everything in my power to be a understanding customer. Well sent the monitor in because of stuck pixels, I did everything in my power to unstuck ? the pixels. I sent the monitor in to factory for repair, they sent it back with out contacting me, and said monitor is scratched and it's my fault. Ok Ok lets say I did scratch the monitor, Then contact me and let me pay for repairs. Have a excuse to compensate for the shipping charges. In the end stuck with the stuck pixels directly in the line of sight, scratch what ever you want to call it. When the song and dance is over, could of went to hanger 18 and bought a alienware, samsung, LG with alot better quality, hopefully better customer service.

Overall Review: Poor Customer Service, If you send anything in take full on high res pictures of everything, anything that leads to a easy way out, to waste money on shipping. It just would of been better if they flat out said they wouldn't repair it so I could of saved money towards a new monitor. Instead of shipping back and forth, wasting time money and fuel

1950x vs 3950x Huge increase

AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3960X - Ryzen Threadripper 3rd Gen 24-Core 3.8 GHz Socket sTRX4 280W Desktop CPU Processor - 100-100000010WOF
AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3960X - Ryzen Threadripper 3rd Gen 24-Core 3.8 GHz Socket sTRX4 280W Desktop CPU Processor - 100-100000010WOF

Pros: Render Big Project 1950x 8 dim filled 4gb 2800 = 1 min. 2 sec. 3950x 4 dim filled 16 gb = 30 sec. had one render 28 sec. 8 more cores doing the job of another 16 Wahhh Theeee Funkkkk Memory may of played a little too it. But I dont think that much. 64gb 3600 - 32gb 2800 I haven't had windows be this responsive since, The days of intel 4 core 6900k cranked to 5ghz. Max OC with V+ run 4.2 at 1.42 or there about. Temps. Actually above ambient 32c to about 80c nothing I can do to get colder except chiller. Loud & Voltage, and water damage no thanks.

Cons: Beyond 4.2 ghz rendering seems to stop improving may change over time, I hope. Max I got was 4.4 Think could of continued to 4.5 no problem. --- times of render engine didn't improve. SUXXXXXXXXX I still cant believe I payed this much for 1 part For me never thought, others 3990x 64 core no biggie.

Overall Review: I hope this performance stays consistent, or improves if possible. But it will change all day, or hours of work, into taking just minutes. So cool

Big Rad And ThreadRipper 24v pump

EKWB EK-Supremacy EVO Threadripper Edition - Acetal+Nickel
EKWB EK-Supremacy EVO Threadripper Edition - Acetal+Nickel

Pros: Ambient Temps during idle full load about 60 C unique water system in the block, Higher pressure - Thumb on a garden hose theory Heavy duty POM plastic not acrylic for heavy fittings Holds up to D5 or PMP 450 spinning at 5800 rpm, mounting hardware I like dont have to drop the springs and the washer's and spend 2 hours to to find them complete nickle system

Cons: as shown again and again in reviews the cooling fins dont cover the complete dies, I dont find that a very big deal. but you can only ambient temp so much with 480 rad and 120x38 delta fans. smaller systems may find it noticeable.

Overall Review: Anyone who may use a 24v system water pump. POM plastic works great no leaks. the plastic water channel is in 2 pieces, I removed one "the top insert" to re-leave any excess water pressure. My assumption was it would create to much back pressure on the pump = smoke the motor. So if you try do it at your own discretion

A good question

Intel 530 Series 2.5" 240GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SSDSC2BW240A4K5
Intel 530 Series 2.5" 240GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SSDSC2BW240A4K5

Pros: Just some clarification, Haven't owned it long enough to really know. So Far so good, Seems a little faster than my last ssd. Maybe new so its faster, anything new is always faster and better. info. included sata cable 18.5 inches, black, thinner and smaller sata terminals than norm. make sure to use included plastic plate, to make it blend with black interior of a pc case, showing a nice silver accent. or If you install it into a laptop with a standard 2.5 bay. SSD is thinner than normal, and will possibly flop around in bay, leading to a damaged laptop. Or even worse, poor gaming, then a broken laptop.

Cons: none so far

MSI wont FRY or, I hope not

MSI NF980-G65 AM3 NVIDIA nForce 980a SLI HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard
MSI NF980-G65 AM3 NVIDIA nForce 980a SLI HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Good board, even better with silverstone accessory. 3 way sli havent tried it but hope too. The colors are cool and the heat exchangers are wicked looking. Amd x 6 havent tried it yet. Really look forward to x16 x 16 gpu. It is one of the very few boards with 980a and not a huge price.

Cons: Silverstone CLEARCMOS Case Accessory, at new egg of course. If you buy this board buy this as well, should call it the oh _ _ _ _ button. There are not many accessories for chip set liquid cooling, undecided on keeping sinks or run it underwater. There hard to let go of.

Overall Review: 3way sli / 980a / 16x 16x / amd x6 / price I would buy again.
