Pros: Pros +Quiet +Plenty of cooling +Good Controls +Highest Quality AIO Edited now I have a new case. The biggest advise I can give to you guys is make sure you have a case that can accommodate it. 1) if mounting at the top, I would make sure you mounting holes/rails are offset towards the cases left side. Such as is the Fractal Define R6 otherwise you may have clearance issues with the motherboard. It took me longer to do this review, due to size requirements of my original case. I had to do some modifications to it first for this 3-fan unit to fit into my case. Please see cons. The installation is easy if you have large enough of a case. As with any radiator, you really need to be careful not to damage the unit. Honestly, I recommend that you buy a new case that is designed to have internal water cooling, then there is no doubt that it will fit. The CPU mount was very easy and comes with both AMD and intel brackets that are standard to the Asutek pump cooling head, and the Rubber tubes from the radiator are just the right mailability to for the tubes to your case. I have always been leery of AIO’s because of substandard parts being used in pumps. I am also leery of them being inside my case. However, if disaster is going to happen it doesn’t matter where it is. Well if it fails, at least the AIO is covered by Corsair's 5 year warranty I must hand it to Corsair, they are really becoming a dominant player in the PC market. I am especially impressed with the overall quality of their products. This is no exception, and I want to thank them for sending me this unit for testing. The customization and control with the software is really wonderful, you can control the pump speed, the fans and of course the LED. Plus it has a lot of monitoring points plugged into the software much like hardware monitor does. I hope that they can continue with the development and make it so I can shrink it down on monitor my system...I believe with ICUE this is supposed to happen soon. I have grown accustom to the Corsair controls easily, and even though in this case I do not care about the RGB lighting, I think that when I do buy a new case, the RGB controls will be a great touch So this Rad is Plenty big to cool any CPU, in fact most 240"s will cool just about any CPU, but I really wish they could put some sort of wattage rating on these items, to help out the consumer. My temps are very cool at idle at around 38-45 C, but I do recommend getting some Gelid high performance thermal paste as it really helped the thermals. I can keep full load stress testing under 70C and the fans are at 60%

Cons: Cons -needs a lot of space Initially in my first case the only place I could mount it was at the top. Where I ran into the biggest problems was the 2” depth of the unit. This caused clearance issue with my motherboard heatsinks, and I think this will be a common issue with a lot of cases. In my new Fractal Design R6 there is ample room! in either the front ot he top.

Overall Review: My biggest question to Corsair is this, are all the parts in this unit similar metals, as in all aluminum? And plastic. That is important, and I think we all would like to know. Only time will tell how long this unit will last as the pumps are always the first thing to fail once installed. I will report back if there are ANY failure Corsair, you can be sure of that! Corsair, I Really would like to see you put out some arctic white units of this series. I know white cases are really becoming popular because we are all getting tired of Black

Pros: The motherboard is a great. It is super fast, but will soon be obsolete. My system is 1.5 years old and my system has failed. But the M/B ended up being good. This is a followup review. Turns out it was a pulsing 5vds in the power supply that was causing the issue.

Cons: ASUS America Customer support needs some serious revamping. It is the worst experience I have ever had with a company....EVER. It is no wonder EVGA is coming out so strong, with their warranties and superfast customer service, ASUS better wakle up.

Overall Review: Asus customer support/ technical support though I had a bad M/B too so I wont fault them there. It is their RMA process. They deliberately have their RMA system set up to be as difficult as possible. I decided to do an advanced RMA by having a hold put on my CC for $360.00 . Their form had to be FAXED to them, because they are living in the1990's. 4 days later they reply to me stating they could not read my CC number on lousy form. They couldn't call me or take the CC over the phone. Or accept an electronic signature on the form they sent to me, that was made for an electronic signature. Four more days pass before I get information saying that my RMA has been processed again (on a Thursday). By now my customer is angry at me for the delay. I paid extra to get my board overnighted, and what do they do instead of sending out on Thursday it takes them another 2 days to ship it. It was send on Monday, and I got it Tuesday. 3 weeks for an advanced RMA is Ridiculous.

Pros: Pros + PCIe Linear Power curve with little drop off beyond 70% power. + Total OP wattage is closer to 1000W the 850 is based on 12v rail + Japanese capacitors for low leakage and long life + Long life MagLev Silent fan and silent eco mode. + Well-constructed and stout. + Quality components creating low noise power. + Made in Vietnam Lets talk briefly about the Pros and the linearity of the power curve for the power supply is great, if it is as they put it, unfortunately you must take their word for it as I do not have a dummy load tester. Which brings me to this important point. You really should calculate the wattage of your system before you buy a power supply. This is because you should buy one that is large enough, so you never exceed 70% of the max power! As that is where power supplies start to overheat and lose power efficiency. In other words, if I estimate my system to draw a max of 500 watts then I should be buying at least a 750w power supply. Ideally if you can afford it shoot for 50% operational wattage verses the max output wattage of the power supply. This power supply can handle 850 watts on the 12v rail and 150w on the +3.3 and +5v combined which is more than enough to feed power hungry Intel CPUs. Made in Vietnam instead of China, no need to say more even though I want to. Made with Japanese capacitors, well why not make it in Japan! Without taking it apart I cannot tell you if all the components are top quality but judging by the cost they should be and is why they made it a 10-year warranty which is on par with EVGA. The fan is barely noticeable even at full load my system fans were louder, and it is silent when just doing desktop work (fan off). There is no eco-mode switch to manually control fan operation because it is incorporated. The Maglev fans should outlast the Power Supply, since it has nor bearings to seize up, so that was a great engineering call!

Cons: Cons - Sharp ridged plastic corners on connectors. - Three Auxiliary CPU power cables same short length @ 27 - No future PCIE 5.0 cables or plugs On to the cons which is typical of most manufactures these days. First the auxiliary CPU power connector cables at least one of those should be 36" for tower cases. Please change the connectors you use as the sharp corners really cut people deeply. I should not have to bleed, or wear cut gloves when I build a PC! I also do not care for the splice type connectors you used on the SATA and Molex power cable as it is prone to not bend the way you need it in the back of a case. Please see how EVGA does it, they do it better. There needs to be an industry Standard followed at the Power Supply side plug, I should be able to cross swap cables between brands. Lastly this PS is not naturally compliant with the future PCIe 5.0 standard as it is a 2021 model.

Overall Review: Full disclosure Newegg sent me this Power Supply to review, as a NewEggspert. There is no bias in my reviews and as such they are honest. This will not be a long-term performance review since we are required to put the reviews up within thirty days of receiving the item. Remember this, your power supply is the heart of the computer and is the single most important piece to building a good and reliable computer. NEVER skimp and buy or take a cheap or free power supply, it can lead to unstable operation, crashes, loss of valuable components, or even fire. I am a longtime supporter of EVGA power supplies and other Corsair peripherals lets see if this power supply can hold up better than the last one, I received, but in all fairness, it was a gaming computer the old one was in. This power supply comes with a 10-year warranty which is about how long you would expect it to last. Now let me tell you about Corsair and my warranty experiences, so far, they have been one of the best I have encountered in a very long time. I have had a couple of warranty claims with them In all three instances, Corsair was professional and very accommodating, and I think it is important for people to remember to treat people on the other end of the phone with some respect and you will get better service. Before I go too far, this is a note to Corsair, Power Supplies in general need more innovations and as a power gamer I want to be able to monitor my power supply and be able to tell when a rail is failing under load. Why not add in diagnostic chip that can report voltages to the corsair iCue via USB. PLEASE, eliminate the sharp plastic corners on the connectors, that are becoming too common to power supplies as they are dangerous and cut deeply! Lastly, label the connector ends better for which side goes to the power supply end and what side plugs into the equipment side, you cannot assume the average builder knows what end goes where. Or clearly state that it doesnt matter. I ran my 1080TI at full power load drawing nearly 400watts for hours and had no issues with benchmarking the system or playing any games. Everything ran fine and the power supply was whisper quiet even when the fan was on cooling the PS. To all users, READ the directions there is very good information in them, like NEVER mix cables from different power supplies! Testing of the RM850 has gone very well as it passed my clean power test when putting it on my oscilloscope, which is one of my most important requirements. I also recommend to anyone that has expensive computers to put them on a CyberPower UPS, I have had great luck with them (Different company than CyberPower Computers) Having clean (noise free) reliable power (always at the needed voltage) makes electronics last years longer than they would plugged straight into an outlet.

Pros: + high capacity in 2 dims + great timings + perfect compatibility with Ryzen + Faster than having four dims. + Very Slick looking ram + easy to config with corsair utilities Even though the days of DDR4 are supposedly coming to a close, I think we will be seeing DDR4 for a while due to shortages and price increases. I would not hesitate to buy this ram if performs very fast. Having it in two slots does in fact make the ram about 10% faster when compared to having 4 sticks in a ryzen 7 board with dual channel memory access.

Cons: - Unable to find any cons

Overall Review: Thank you Corsair and Newegg I hope you continue to provide items for reviews. Overall I liked this Ram very much and it is now my new daily Ram on my Ryzen 7 system over my Trident Gskill. That will go into the work computer that I will build over the winter. I see no reason to hurry and adopt the new Ryzen or Expensive Motherboards right now. Especially after getting ripped on a video card. Personally my friends stick with this older stuff for a couple more years because it is way more economical, and you will be able to find way better bargains.

Pros: + Reasonable size for the purpose + Good construction + Made in Vietnam, not China + Video Output good for normal desktop use

Cons: - USB 2.0 ports un-needed when 3.0 is backward compatible anyway. - The wireless charger could use some rubber on the outer portion to keep the phone from sliding off if angled. - Microphone? Why? all laptops have them. - Micro or SD card reader would have been more useful.

Overall Review: I want to thank Newegg for all their great service over the years and I have always been happy with the Rosewill line of products! Please keep developing them to compete! This is a bit of a niche item that would most likely be taken with you when traveling and I have done so much of that for my old job, I know exactly what I want in a small unit like this. The unit as designed works very good and I did not have any issues using it, it was completely "plug and play". All the features worked as advertised so if this is what you are looking for it is well constructed and will last a very long time, unlike most of the stuff coming in from China. I used to be an electronics technician in the Navy so I know when items are but with good or cheap quality because I get curious and take them apart a lot. 1) The wireless charger is rated at a max of 10W which is adequately safe but it isn't going to win any speed awards (unless it is charging a watch battery) 2) there is only 1 USB 3.0 port. (I assume they did this due to limit USB fast charging power draw, but that is a guess) 3) 4K Display output works fine for a desktop display or projector for teachers but it is only 30 Hz, so you aren't going to be doing anything fancy with it. 4) The USBC is a passthrough but does allow up to 60w charging which is good. @ Roswill Engineering, This product is High Quality, but a bit outdated from what I can see. A card reader and 2 USBc ports are more useful. The glass charging surface is very nice, but I would like to have a set of 4 rubber pads around the outside to prevent the phone from sliding around if the table is jostled. Overall I recommend the product and hopefully they continue to improve it!

Pros: + Good bang for the buck. + Integrated graphics that are better than Intel + Pretty thin laptop with adequate connectivity + A real workhorse for the average user. + Good battery life Let’s get to it shall we. With all the choices for entry level laptops out there why would you want to pick this one? One simple reason, for the price you really are getting a great value for the money. The Ryzen 5 2500 U is the first generation of Zen, the Ryzen 3500u is Zen+ and since the mobile processors were last to the released there was quite a bit of lead time for the manufactures to get these laptops out. AMD is also moving much faster at releases than Intel is. Now, if you need a bit better graphics power get the step-up version of this one with the Vega 11. Since it is “Back to school” time, I highly recommend this laptop for that purpose, it is perfect to take some abuse, but it isn’t a huge investment, even if highly abused by teenagers and it only lasted 2 years. I mean most phones are more expensive than this laptop. But don’t be fooled its construction is very good for a $500 laptop. The screen is obviously the weakest point of any laptop. And it is able to be tweaked around a but maintains its rigidity. This laptop can do just about everything the average person would want to do, but one thing that it can do that most other laptops in this price range cannot do as well, is light gaming. You can play older and web-based games with ease. Many newer games will play at lower settings, but do not expect to play the new Tomb Raider. I have owned four different gaming laptops over the years and the one thing that they fail at, is being a laptop! In other words, they are far too hot to use on your lap. I have been writing this review with this laptop on my lap and cool enough to be comfortable in my lap. The laptop screens of today are far superior to the ones I have dealt with in the years past and this one has a great field of view and sure is adequate enough for the average use case. One of the biggest keys that laptop manufactures FINALLY figured out was that for a 15 or even a 17-inch screen there is no need for more than 1080p. Which brings me to USBc is a wonderful connector for laptops. It is superior to HDMI and is now widely available on most monitors. For connectivity; There are 3 USB 3.1 ports which is adequate, a RJ45 1GB LAN, HDMI and SD card reader. Definitely everything needed for most people. The one thing that really impressed me is the WiFi it is very fast for a laptop; I suspect this is what used to be used in only in gaming laptops. I have a 120Gb/s connection from my ISP, and I was able to update the computer very quickly and max out the WiFi 150 – 200 Mb/s connection, this is the equivalent of transferring 1 GB in under 30 seconds, wirelessly! The battery laptop life is very good, about 5 hours, and the power adapter is small and convenient and will recharge your laptop in 60% 45 minutes, that is awesome! I wish my gaming laptop would do that. I have also enjoyed typing on the keyboard, they keys have a good tactile feel. The only complaint that I have is the Power button is not separated away from the keyboard and you may hit it by mistake when hitting the delete button. There is also some expandability in the form of adding in another 8gb of memory and another M.2 which brings me to the cons. Since my colleagues put a bunch of benchmarks out there, but did not include 3D Mark I took the liberty of doing that benchmark with the NIGHT RAID benchmark, it is specifically for integrated graphics. It scored an admirable 4507 in comparison my Asus gaming laptop with a Nvidia Gtx 1060 scored 23000 points. Remember benchmarks are not real-world performance, they are nothing more than a relative indicator of how it performs when compared to other systems. In mobile platforms power usage and heat are ALWAYS a limiting factor to the performance. I am sure this laptop can handle most online style games and most older games like CS GO. During my monitoring it is worth mentioning that the 4 CPU cores did reach a maximum of 3600 MHz. Just keep your expectations in check for what it can do with games and you will be fine.

Cons: - 256gb M.2 SSD @ GB/ps - Screen could be better - Speakers are weak - I do not like the power button placement. -Track pad is mediocre M.2 is now the standard for laptops as it should be, but there is one issue. M.2 drive cloning is very difficult as because of hardware issues. I really wish that laptop manufactures would just make 500GB the minimum because it is what the average person needs. This laptop does use the older, but more power efficient Sata standard of 6Gb/s and it is perfectly suited for this laptop and the normal user. It is not slow because that is still 40x faster than a 7200-rpm hard drive. I would recommend getting another larger drive, like another 1Tb when you buy this laptop. 8Gb of memory is really plenty for this laptop and I would not go higher. First off, every laptop I have ever owned except my Alienware laptop has had weak speakers and tinny sound. I think it is pretty much what anyone should expect and is why most people use headphones. However, the sound is adequate and has good enough sound projection to watch a movie without them. I had zero issues with streaming any movies off my Plex server wirelessly to this laptop at full resolution. @ASUS WHY would you put a power button right next to the delete key? if cost and keyboard placement cannot be changed, then at least make it so you have to hit the FUNCTION and POWER to turn off the laptop! That however brings me to my final con, and that this is an older display, but it is crisp and sharp. However, the RGB reproduction really is not up to my liking as it is not as vivid as newer higher end displays. But what do you expect for a $500 laptop? You really won’t find good displays until you enter at least the $1200 price range and great displays at $2000.

Overall Review: Since my eggxpert colleagues already put a bunch of benchmarks out there, but did not include 3D Mark I took the liberty adding the NIGHT RAID benchmark that is specifically designed for integrated graphics. It scored an admirable 4507 in comparison my Asus gaming laptop with a Nvidia Gtx 1060 scored 23000 points. Remember benchmarks are not real-world performance, they are nothing more than a relative indicator of how it performs when compared to other systems. In mobile platforms power usage and heat are ALWAYS a limiting factor to the performance. I am sure this laptop can handle most online style games and most older games like CS GO. During my monitoring it is worth mentioning that the 4 CPU cores did reach a maximum of 3600 MHz. Just keep your expectations in check for what it can do with games and you will be fine. Here is who I would recommend this laptop for. A student that needs to focus on studies, not heavy gaming. For your employees that need a good laptop when traveling. At $500 a piece you can replace them easily when needed like every 3 years. If they are lost or stolen it is no huge loss. Just always encrypt the drives. Laptops have really come a long way in the past 3 years and prices are at all time lows for the price to performance. Thank you, AMD! This is the lowest priced laptop with this much power, the nearest Intel is $100 more. Sure, some of the technology in this laptop is a bit older, but you cannot get cutting edge tech for $500 in a laptop. A normal user will love this laptop, without breaking the bank. Who this laptop is not for? Power users, gamers and media professionals. For those of you who might wonder or have doubts about AMD Ryzen processors, you can remove all your fears. In fact, AMD is making far greater strides and advancements lately than Intel. You can trust what I say because I am A+ and Net+ certified along with many electronics certs.. When you buy this laptop make sure you fully charge and start the windows updates. Then go to ASUS and manually download the updates. Bios included. Download the bios to a USB root directory, then restart the computer. Hit F2 and that will get you into the bios. You will need to look at advanced options, there you will find the bios updater. Run it with the USB plugged in and point the update to the newest bios. Then, I would reboot and run windows updater again. Here is some advice for ASUS Fix your windows auto updater, not once did your program pick up ANY of the proper updates for this laptop. I know it is a low priority to get fixed, but please do so. ASUS please do not respond to my review, because I may update the review later. If this review was helpful, please vote so.

Best velco ever and at a good price

great fans

I was asked if I could do a review, because a product was new. They were very honest and answered my questions.
