Most Favorable Review

So far so good

Cooler Master MasterLiquid 240L Core 240mm Close-Loop AIO Liquid Cooler, ARGB Sync, Gen S Coldplate Pump, 120mm PWM, CryoFuze Thermal Paste AMD AM5/AM4, Intel LGA 1851/1700/1200 (MLW-D24M-A18PZ-R1)
Cooler Master MasterLiquid 240L Core 240mm Close-Loop AIO Liquid Cooler, ARGB Sync, Gen S Coldplate Pump, 120mm PWM, CryoFuze Thermal Paste AMD AM5/AM4, Intel LGA 1851/1700/1200 (MLW-D24M-A18PZ-R1)

Pros: - Comes with all the necessary screws and plates - Comes with thermal paste for the block - Clear illustrated instructions

Cons: - None yet

Overall Review: The instructions were decent, all parts were in the box, and while I needed a second pair of hands to get it put in place, it showed immediate results. It brought my idle temps on a Ryzen 5 3600 down about 5 degrees, but it brought my max load temps down a whopping 30+ degrees celsius. I probably could have gone with a larger radiator in my Corsair 4000D Airflow for even better temps, but I opted for the 240 to guarantee I'd be able to pick my placement, and for my needs it fits and performs exactly as I need it to. If anything goes wrong within the year, I'll update the review to reflect, but for now, it's just what I needed and has no issues.

Worked Well While it Lasted....

Pros: This thing was great. It over doubled my download speeds after switching over to the 5GHz band. I thought I was in heaven. It's great if you need an inexpensive solution to wireless utility.

Cons: However, the key word is "was". It didn't last me the week I had it. I dunno what happened, but something mustve fried, because it's no longer recognized by my PC, even after several removals and re-installations.

Overall Review: I kind of hope I can get a refund for this. In the future, I'm going to stick with PCIE cards if I need wireless utility... I'm sure it's just my bad luck however.

Bought as a Gift

Final Fantasy XIV Online: 60 Day Time Card [Online Game Code]
Final Fantasy XIV Online: 60 Day Time Card [Online Game Code]

Pros: - Code was delivered to my email quickly - Code worked

Cons: - I can't believe they stopped manufacturing physical cards

Overall Review: As said with my only con, I was originally going to gift my friend sub with a physical time card for his birthday, as he just started playing a couple months ago and didn't have the money to re-up for the past couple months. Unfortunately, they seem to have stopped making them as far back as around Shadowbringers (or at least certainly before Endwalker), so I had to buy digital and send him the code over discord. There are no real issues, just a slight nitpick. I purchased the code and within 5 minutes I got an additional email containing the product information and game time code. I would definitely buy time codes from Newegg again in the future.

Pros: Great card. Can run everything I need it to run on my budget gaming rig. Gonna be testing out Battlefield 4 in a week, but Battlefield 3 and all other modern games run beautifully so far. Who needs a $2,000 Titan when this works just fine (unless you do 3-D modelling, in which case you'll wanna look upwards of $200 at least).

Cons: The back plate where the ports are were a little on the short side for my Rosewill Challenger case, and the card was lopsided in its slot on the mobo. A pair of pliers and some careful metal-bending later, and it's correctly seated and 100% straight from both the inside and the back. Not going to take off an egg though, because it's probably a niche problem or I simply screw-ed my Mobo in a bit too far to the right.

Overall Review: Used this card in my first build. A budget gaming rig that ran me about the soft side of $600. It's working flawlessly with all my games on Steam/Origin so far and I'm quite happy.
