Overall Review: Used a pair of these in a minipc build. Very good product. Novabench 5 test results showed this memory to be faster than some DDR5 4800 in a desktop system. Regardless, easy install and solid performance so far.

Pros: Took my "Windows Experience" number from 4.9 to 7.4 on both desktop and 3d graphics performance. It's quiet, too.

Cons: NewEgg / Gigabyte rebate process is easy to mess up and comes off looking like a scam.

Overall Review: It's a decent enough card but be VERY VERY careful on the rebate side. The online site for rebates offers to give you a card fast for $1 less -- that's 10% of the rebate amount. The dates are sometimes incorrect on the web site. If you send in evidence, you have no recourse. I did not have a good buying experience due to the rebate. It's bad enough that I've been using other vendors. Do you hear that NewEgg? I just bought a new UPS. That could have been your sale but my experience here steered me to A m a z o n. I don't understand a business model that drives customers to other vendors but thankfully we all have choices.

Cons: The first unit ordered had bent pins in the LGA1700 socket. If ordering one of these, I suggest taking a picture of the socket, put it up on a decent sized monitor, and hunt for bent pins before beginning the build. The second unit had no socket issues. The included Wi-Fi card, based on the Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3168, is old tech. Microsoft Update never did find current drivers and installed one from 2016. Worse, this card never worked for me, and the antenna leads refused to attach to the card. It was replaced it with an OKN AX210NGW DTK Wi-Fi card which works great. The antenna connections to the case now are a bit too close, i.e. just barely fit. The review loses 1 egg for including obsolete tech resulting in additional cost.

Overall Review: This unit was acquired for a home theater PC build -- no gaming. In this context, it was coupled with: - Intel Core i5-13500 processor - Noctua NH-L9i-17xx CPU fan - Corsair Vengeance 2x16GB SO-DIMM DDR4 3200 memory - Samsung 990 EVO PLUS SSD 1TB - Windows 11 Pro Graphics on this CPU are very slow so if your use case for gaming goes beyond the Microsoft Solitaire Collection it's probably not a good fit. It does handle video playback pretty well. The rest of the system is surprisingly robust. It looks like it should handle my HTPC needs for now. Really like the small footprint (6" x 6" x 3") and weight (3 lbs. 4 oz for my build).

Pros: Inexpensive, reasonably quiet, cools reasonably well

Cons: Shipping time from China is about 2 weeks

Overall Review: My recent HTPC upgrade included an Intel Core i7-7700 CPU with fan. Unfortunately, the included processor fan was LOUD so it had to go. Next, I tried a Dynatron K985 RT which was an improvement but still not quiet enough for a home theater environment. Digging through the offerings on NewEgg uncovered this AVC CPU Heatsink Cooler and I decided to give it a try. Since it was shipping from China, it seemed likely to take a couple of weeks to reach me, and it did. Normally it would be necessary to pull the motherboard to install a fan like this, but I reused the Dynatron mount instead (got lazy :)) and that worked fine. On firing up the PC, it was much, much quieter than any fan used for this build so far. That's pretty good considering how inexpensive this fan is -- half the cost of the Dynatron. Is it audible? Yes. But with the case cover on from a distance of perhaps 12 feet it's not audible. Even within a couple of feet of the case the noise isn't too intrusive. What about other options? If you have a tower case, there may be even quieter choices available. If you have a desktop case like me, there aren't many choices. Note that this PC is not overclocked so the demands placed on this fan aren't severe. It seems to keep the CPU cool enough at about 50 degrees C. Overall, I'm satisfied with the results and would buy this product again under the same circumstances.

Pros: Quiet, inexpensive, effective cooler

Cons: Slow shipping

Overall Review: I bought the Theta 31 to replace a noisy Intel CPU fan that came with a Core i7-3770K. The Theta has a rated sound level below 28 dB. Considering the price, I was hoping that this fan would be an inexpensive way to lower my PC noise floor. The product ships from Hong Kong, so quick delivery wasn't expected. My order was placed on the NewEgg site on 4/15, and the fan was delivered via USPS on 04/25. The package contains a fan, heat sink, an attachment plate, and a small envelope of thermal paste. Spring-loaded screws attach the fan/heat sink to the plate. My case has a cut-out that makes the back of the motherboard where the CPU sits accessible, and that made fan installation quick and easy. The Theta 31 is very quiet and meets my noise level reduction goal. I hear my power supply fan and the case fans but not the CPU fan. The Theta also keeps my CPU a little bit cooler. With the Intel fan, CPU temperature was typically around 45° C in general use (no overclocking). Now it's about 35° C. Overall, I think this fan is a pretty good product and would buy it again given the same circumstances.

Pros: Fully modular Runs cool Runs quiet High efficiency

Cons: Kinda pricey

Overall Review: After putting a different EVGA PS in a new build for my wife and seeing how well it performed, I picked up this one for my system. The $20 rebate at the time helped make this more affordable though it still isn't cheap. But sometimes you get what you pay for. Here's what I like: - It's quiet. My stock Intel CPU fan makes more noise than this PS. - It runs cool. Some power supplies are like a little space heater. Not this one. - Fully modular. No extraneous cords! I would buy this again either as an upgrade or for a new build.
