Most Favorable Review

Good discs, horrible packing

Verbatim 4.7 GB 16X DVD-R 100 Packs Spindle Disc Model 95102

Pros: Discs are great, high quality discs that burn fine in any decent burner with decent firmware.

Cons: Not a con against the discs, but against Newegg. Newegg has become greatly lacking in packing the items for shipping, just to save a little money. Instead of using the foam popcorn that they used to always use, they now only use crumpled brown paper. For most items, it would be fine, but for something heavy like a box of discs, it's completely unreasonable and caused my bottom part of the spindle to crack and break. This is unacceptable and newegg needs to change this NOW! This is the second time, recently that I've had problems because of cheap packing from Newegg and I'm about to my limit. One more time and Newegg will never see me as a customer again.

Great case, great cooling

Overall Review: This is one great case for the price. The massive 160mm fans and all mesh case is extremely good for cooling, even without adding any more fans. But it has the options for huge radiators or top and bottom fans as well. The CPU, GPU and PSU clearance are all very big for a mid tower case. And the construction is VERY heavy steel. The only negative was that the PCIE slots are sort of awkward since they are also compatible with the obnoxious back connect motherboards, so they dont fit exactly the same way most cases do. You may have to change some things around or use one of the other standoff positions to make things line up corectly.

Very fast for a system drive

Western Digital WD_BLACK SN770 M.2 2280 500GB PCIe Gen4 16GT/s, up to 4 Lanes Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) WDS500G3X0E

Pros: .

Overall Review: This 500GB SSD ended up being my system drive. It was even quicker than my previous Crucial SATA3 SSD and makes the whole system run great. Its a good, reliable WD Black drive, and a great value for the price

Fast M2 SSD

Western Digital WD_BLACK SN770 M.2 2280 2TB PCIe Gen4 16GT/s, up to 4 Lanes Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) WDS200T3X0E

Overall Review: This is an extremely fast and reliable M2 SSD and backed by WDs warranty. And its likely one of the best SSDs for the price range. I use it for some of my heavier games, and it makes load times so much faster.

Powerful, ARGB beast of an air cooler.

Pros: Dual Tower, Dual 120mm ARBG fans Compatible with many Intel and AMD sockets

Cons: HUGE!

Overall Review: This enormous beast of a cooler doesnt play around. Its big, powerful, and has pretty lights. Its definitely the best cooler Ive ever used. My 12600KF has been idling in the low 30s in the middle of the summer, and I havent seen load temperatures over 80C. Just make sure you have a case with at least 170mm or more of CPU clearance, as it is one big MONSTER of a cooler.

Great motherboard for the price!

ASRock Z790 Lightning WiFi LGA 1700(14th,13th,12th Gen) Intel Z790 SATA 6Gb/s ATX DDR5 1 PCIe 5.0 x16 2.5G LAN WiFi 6E + Bluetooth Motherboards - Intel

Pros: Killer Ethernet and 6E Wifi and Bluetooth 16+1+1 power phase DDR5 PCI 5.0 USB 3.2

Cons: M2 slots are PCI 4.0 No BIOS Flashback

Overall Review: Compared to all other motherboards in same price range, with similar features, this one is a terrific value and loaded with options. I had a shipping damage issue, but after getting a replacement, its a flawless motherboard that stands toe to toe with much higher priced ones.
