Better than Expected

Prolimatech PRO-GNSS-BK CPU Heatsink for both 12cm and 14cm Fans
Prolimatech PRO-GNSS-BK CPU Heatsink for both 12cm and 14cm Fans

Pros: This is a continualtion of my first review. I have had time to experience the cooling capabilities of the heatsink and I must say I am surprised. I am running a FX-8350 (AMD 8 core processor) which native runs at 4 Ghz. I overclocked each core to 4.51 Ghz and under load the processor has peaked at only 38 degrees celcius.

Cons: The negative mentioned in my first review still stand but instead of 3 eggs, the cooling peformance make that issue ignorable.

Good Fan... Have seen better.

Pros: Looks cool with the black fan and white LEDs For it's size it is very quiet.

Cons: For the sze, it does not move as much air as you would think.

Good Wifi Card

ASUS PCE-AC66 Next Generation AC Dual-Band Wireless Adapter IEEE 802.11ac, IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n PCI Express Up to 1750Mbps (450/1300Mbps) Wireless Data Rates
ASUS PCE-AC66 Next Generation AC Dual-Band Wireless Adapter IEEE 802.11ac, IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n PCI Express Up to 1750Mbps (450/1300Mbps) Wireless Data Rates

Pros: Looks Great with the anodized heatsink. Capable of blazing speeds with the correct network setup. Three antennas. You are able to just load drivers onto the computer and use the Windows network and sharing center to make your network connections.

Cons: The included software makes network connection reliability buggy. For the first two days my computer maintain a stable and reliable network connection. Afterwards it would not connect to my home network. I would find it an attempt to connect but wouldn't. My computer is under twenty feet away from the wireless router and the router was operating fine. All the other 8 computers on my wireless network were connected without issues. Resinstalling the drivers and software fixed the problem for and hour. The I resorted to completely uninstalling the device's software and only reinstalling the device drivers. Then it has been working fine without an issue. I don't need this but if I needed to use the software to increase the recieving capability of the card I wouldn't be able to use the card without having connection issues. The card also takes a little longer to initially connect to the network. My mom's net book connects quicker. Once it is connected though, it is the fasted thing ever. This is unacceptable considering the price of the card and how Asus makes the card out to be one of the best on the market.

Overall Review: The only reason I didn't rate it lower is because I know enough to work around bugs and still pull the performance I want out of the components that give me an issue. I am an Asus Fan and I give Asus my business when I can. I recommend then when I am helping other people with computer issues. This is just a little below what I am used to getting from Asus. I will still continue to be a faithful customer though.

Good Value

Pros: The card reader can read many cards, and it is nice that the MicroSD Cards have their own port to go in. It does the job well and was a good value for the price. It matches the onther external media drives well from a color and finish stand point. I can't say much because it is just a card reader.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I don't want to come across as disapointed with the reader because I am not. It is a quality read, but I don't want to make seem more than it really is.

They Do The Job

Pros: They work as intended.

Cons: They are not the highest quality. I wish they would have had a nice sleeve over the wires or had braded them.

Love It

Pros: Extremely Fast For the performance it is competitively priced. It is a very relible and stable drive. It is very responsive

Cons: None

Overall Review: I would get another Samsung 840 Pro SSD without hesetating. They are great drives. This is my second drive and would like to eventually get two 512 drives. I think I will wait until Samsung comes out with an new drive.

Look Elsewhere Before Buying

I purchased a battery which was indicated to be in stock. Once I made the purchase, I week later I receive and e-mail that the product wont ship until a month later because it was out of stock and on backorder until a month later. I inquire the company on their mistake (There were two postings of the same product) where one posting was in stock and the other out of stock. Of course I order from the posting that was supposed to be in stock. The company how ever didn't even acknowledge the issue let along try to correct it. I would advise that you use this seller as an absolute last resort. I tried to contact and clarify with them the issue at hand multiple times and they have only shown themselves to be to incompetent to be able to understand and correct the issue. I am one who will work with you if you show me an effort of improving your quality systems and unfortunately I haven't seen that from them.
