Pros: The PSU cables (Corsair) are booty ugly, these are way better looking and give your pc a professional look. They're cheap to buy and they work! They're aren't RGB but than who wants that much vomit in their pc?

Cons: none, yet!

Overall Review: Corsairs Cables are ridiculously priced so I went with these, glad I did.

Having issues

ASRock Z790 Nova WiFi LGA 1700(14th,13th,12th Gen) Intel Z790 SATA 6Gb/s ATX DDR5 1 PCIe 5.0 x16 2.5G LAN WiFi 7 + Bluetooth Motherboards - Intel
ASRock Z790 Nova WiFi LGA 1700(14th,13th,12th Gen) Intel Z790 SATA 6Gb/s ATX DDR5 1 PCIe 5.0 x16 2.5G LAN WiFi 7 + Bluetooth Motherboards - Intel

Pros: Love the look of this mb, love the layout, has a metal backplate, power switch button and reset button on the board that nowadays only the really expensive boards have, cool latch system for the m.1 slot, solid construction.

Cons: Yes I have cons, pretty big ones too. 32 gb RAM but board only reads 16gb, no wifi, has the antenna hookups on the i/o but no wifi controller or chip I guess??? No drivers work anyways, so the board atp is totally worthless and sadly it'll go back for something different

Overall Review: Love the board but will have to return it because it's incomplete, no wifi, needs bios updates cause the latest didn't fix the ram issues I guess it had at release.

Giving this 5 Stars

Corsair iCUE 4000X RGB CC-9011204-WW Black Steel / Plastic / Tempered Glass ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Beautiful case Good air flow RGB is nice Comes with an RGB controller for 6 fans Well made, solid construction Cable management is a breeze Glass panels are sturdy AF Fit & finish is very nice Got it on sale too for $30 bucks off

Cons: None I can think of

Overall Review: Overall it's a case you can be happy with sitting on your desk, I get comments all the time about how my system looks awesome and it's the case they're looking at.

Fans

Corsair iCUE SP120 RGB PRO Performance 120mm Triple Fan Kit with Lighting Node CORE - CO-9050094-WW
Corsair iCUE SP120 RGB PRO Performance 120mm Triple Fan Kit with Lighting Node CORE - CO-9050094-WW

Pros: Got the 120mm 3 pack with Controller on sale ($5x.xx) to install 1 in the rear of my Corsair 4000X case, the other 2 to replace the non-RGB fans that came with the Corsair AIO Quiet, look nice depending on your RGB preset preference, I picked a static color SP fans is why I picked these hoping that they were best for the cooler, temps are in the my 30's on an overclocked system and I don't like loud fans, have these set on silent and I can barely hear them.

Cons: They don't match the ML Fans that came stock with the case, RGB colors don't match either. ICUE has trouble matching RGB between the 2 set of different fans when I use it, RGB speed and color are off, very noticeable Shutting off or uninstalling ICUE was the answer, now all fans match color wise, how that happened is beyond me.

Overall Review: So far so good, pretty happy with my set-up, would have been nice to match everything up with the software but ICUE needs work, IMO but seeing as I don't even need it is ok too. Good fans overall, get them on sale if you can, 50 some dollars for 3 fans and a controller are pretty good, BTW I didn't even need the controller since the case already has one.

Good RAM Wrong System

G.SKILL TridentZ RGB Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 4800 (PC4-38400) Desktop Memory Model F4-4800C19D-16GTZRC
G.SKILL TridentZ RGB Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 4800 (PC4-38400) Desktop Memory Model F4-4800C19D-16GTZRC

Pros: Bought 2 sticks of 8gb, Gskill is a good brand and for me always reliable, have 2 other pc's with Gkill that are pretty old 12 years and 8 years and still running with Gkill RAM that was original

Cons: I actually bought these by mistake, didn't get around to building the system for close to 2 months after buying the RAM, decided to just use anyways. Run at 2133 of the bat, most stable I could set at was 3600, will not run at rated XMP 4800, not the RAM's fault

Overall Review: So far they run really well, no problems running in my system that isn't as good as this RAM, I can always upgrade later to match RAM specs.
