Most Favorable Review

Arrived quickly.

Intel Core i7-14700K - Core i7 14th Gen 20-Core (8P+12E) LGA 1700 125W Intel UHD Graphics 770 Processor - Boxed - BX8071514700K
Intel Core i7-14700K - Core i7 14th Gen 20-Core (8P+12E) LGA 1700 125W Intel UHD Graphics 770 Processor - Boxed - BX8071514700K

Pros: Priced reasonably, quick shipping.

Cons: Box was beat up upon receiving. Looked as if it was delivered by Ace Ventura. However, it did it's job protecting the CPU so no complaints. Other than making me wonder if it not damaged.

Overall Review: Decent CPU, have yet to install due to waiting on further components and wiring harness building. Note to anyone buying a 14th generation Intel core. This will work on most 12th and 13th generation Motherboards. be sure to confirm that the board you select has a viable bios update via the manufacturers website and to install the bios update via flashdrive before CPU install. I returned a perfectly good motherboard due to this instead of just returning the RAM and updating the Bios. Oh well that's what makes learning something new "fun" I guess. Lol

Most Critical Review

It's a flash drive.

Kingston DataTraveler Exodia M 128GB (USB Flash Drive) Model DTXM/128GBCR

Pros: Was a gift via the purchase of a motherboard

Overall Review: A flash drive is a flash drive. Was an included gift with the purchase of an Asus Rog Strix B760 motherboard. Would have been nice to mention that it was included to allow for a bios update for the 14th Gen Intel CPU to properly function with the motherboard. Is what it is, ended up returning the motherboard so this went back as well.

Decent product.

ARCTIC TP-3 (120x20mm - 0.5mm - 4 pcs) Premium Performance Thermal Pad ACTPD00055A

Pros: It's wide and thin.

Overall Review: Bought to use on RAM sticks for heatsinks and the water block onto of the heatsinks. They come as one sold chunk,however upon closer inspection they are perforated so they come apart. I had to look close to see that they were actually individual strips. After messing with a few different brands of heat pads. There was one off brand one that came with a part, that had cross hatching on one side of the thermal pads, I wish these thermal pads had this as well, just because it the off brand was easier to remove one strip at a time while keeping some sort of plastic on the pad as it was laid down vs the plastic not aiding in removal and install if that makes sense.

Decent Mat

Pros: Large size.

Overall Review: Decently thick and large mat. Didn't really buy it for just a keyboard/mouse pad, more of a wood desk protector and to be used as a work surface. With that said, the sublimation printing of it is faded out on the top and bottom. Not as vivid in those areas as the description picture would suggest. Again I bought it for a work surface to put over a wood desk, so it does the job and I don't really have a complaint due to the intended use.

Well made and sturdy product.

Overall Review: Decent product and very different. It is decently bigger than what the pictures make it seem. Would recommend to anyone looking for a good and expandable SSD drive.

Great Pair of Headphones

ASUS ROG Strix Fusion 700 Virtual 7.1 LED Bluetooth Gaming Headset for PC, PS4, and Nintendo Switch with Digital Microphone, Bluetooth and Aura Sync RGB Lighting

Pros: Very comfortable. The 7.1 audio is amazing. Travel bag included

Cons: Micro USB instead of USB-C

Overall Review: Love these headphones, can easily wear them till the battery runs out (17hrs) The 7.1 audio is legit. Optimizes sound beautifully. The app for them for the phone is no where to be found, not like the colorful lights not working when I am using the headphones on my phone is whatever anyway. The mic and how it tucks up when not in use is great too, doesn't limit where I use them meaning strictly for gaming or PC use. Only other pair of headphones to beat these out would be Bose A20 aviation headphones. I do wish these had noise canceling like my aviation headset. Cause it's nice to not hear anything from time to time and no one bother you at the same time.
