Works fast and quietly.
Pros: -Pretty fast, and quiet.
Cons: -Could push a little bit more air for the price.
Overall Review: 8.4 Watts load
Slow
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!
Pros: -Overclocks over 5Ghz -8 Integer cores and 4 floating point compute units some serious power! -Encrypts and compresses fast! -5GHz turbo core with AmdMSRTweaker
Cons: -2 DIMMs for 1866MHz above.
Overall Review: -Was able to clock 5GHz at 1.5250v 24/7
Sad
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$. Really is silly. Well, end of story is Arctic produces some over priced cooler and newegg has crappyemployees that open the items and rip off their customers.
Great
Pros: -Heat sinks -70$ for 3 4GB sticks.
Cons: -Overpriced now, was less then 25$ a stick of 4GB.
Good stuff
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.
