Most Critical Review

Slow

TP-Link TL-R600VPN SafeStream Gigabit Multi-WAN Desktop VPN Router
TP-Link TL-R600VPN SafeStream Gigabit Multi-WAN Desktop VPN Router

Pros: -Bandwidth Control -WAN Statistics

Cons: -Only handles about 3-4 computers online daily-barely. -Slowdowns all the time. -Does not have fully functioning NAT. -Barely handles 2 bandwidth control rules when under high traffic.

Overall Review: I would not recommend for anyone who has multiple computers with somewhat high traffic, like movie streaming etc. TP-Link should be able to do better than this. At the time was advertised with fully functioning NAT capabilities, which wasn't true.

Great bang for your buck!

Cons: -2 DIMMs for 1866MHz above.

Overall Review: -Was able to clock 5GHz at 1.5250v 24/7

Sad

ARCTIC Accelero L2 Plus VGA Cooler - nVidia & AMD, 92mm Efficient PWM Fan, SLI/CrossFire
ARCTIC Accelero L2 Plus VGA Cooler - nVidia & AMD, 92mm Efficient PWM Fan, SLI/CrossFire

Pros: None, this is a poorly made item with a over priced retail listing. Should be 12.99$ at MAX!! That should be including shipping too! Barely does what it's rated.

Cons: Heat sinks are poorly constructed, the glue is a bad idea. Bad quality control. inefficient VRM cooler design. Poor pre-applied thermal paste(remove it and use your own).

Overall Review: NewEgg is a poor site to buy from, many factors of quality and price has been rendering me to not use this site even more everyday. This site used to be a good place to go and isn't anymore. I don't recommend this site. They laid off a broken item that they knew didn't work, whoever packed my shipment opened up one of the items and took a RPM limited from one of my 16$. Stay far away. Is glued to my GPU and I can't take it off to return the item due to the fan isn't operational due to newegg employees sending out used items and known broken items. I mean really, I can replace the fan for 14$ or buy a whole brand new one for 19.99$. Really is silly. Well, end of story is Arctic produces some over priced cooler and newegg has crappyemployees that open the items and rip off their customers.

Great

1ST PC CORP. FC-FC9B 4 Lamptron Channel Throttle Control Operation Fan Controller, 50w Per Channel, Available 7 Led Colors

Pros: -4.16 Amp load capability. -Smooth adjusting levers. -Effective at it's function.

Cons: -Very prone to static electricity in rigs with no ESD protection IC's, needs some sort of built in ESD protection since not all systems come with such.

Overall Review: -Would only recommend pairing with a motherboard that has ESD integrated controllers.
