Very Impressive phone :)
Pros: Where to start....its more slim than the pencil in my hand, the recption is great, and i have T-mobile, i bought it because it is unlockefd and the phone it self gives good reception,supurb hearing, and clear crisp talking, good screen size
Cons: long charge times if using usb(but that is to be expected), can break semi easily althought ive dropped mine down the stiars, and nothing happend, my dads broke falling on carpet,
Overall Review: worth the money, not so,meomehting worth buying to show off, buy it if you have a need for a good looking phone other than girls/guys
Good board if it works.
Pros: This is a beautiful board with many many awesome features. While I was using it, it was a solid performer, kept my cpu at a great temp, and didnt fail to allow me to overclock. however.... Read CONS...
Cons: This board only lasted me one week before it randomly started turning off every 30minutes to an hour...After diagnosing literally every part of my pc..including, cpu, ram, video card, harddrive, case, and powersupply, i determined the board was dead for whatever reason. BUT I didnt give up on it yet (I am loyal to asus), so i called tech support, and they literally told me "these boards do have that issue that is quite common and we regret to inform you that if you have tested everything, the board is dead and should be returned or exchanged for a new one. Needless to say I returned it today (its on the way back to newegg as I type this), and will be getting a different board.
Overall Review: I love ASUS laptops and their video cards, but this motherboard really ruined the experience. I know 2 friends who have had no problems, but I also know myself as well as at least 5-6 other people who have had the same, if not very similar issues. If you've already ordered the board, I suggest testing it very thoroughly and putting it through its paces within a few days of receiving it. If you haven't ordered it yet, I suggest you look elsewhere (brand wise)
Great looking and great performance!
Pros: Was a bit hesitant to purchase this RAM as I've always been a Corsair fan, but I took a chance in order to make the theme of my case all black and red (Specs in Other section). Pro's - Easy to install like any other memory, feels like its good build quality and not flimsy, and the LED's on the top look really awesome No BSOD's or mem errors, performs as well as I could ask for.
Cons: -This is not particularly a con with the memory, but its worth mentioning. The RAM when switched to XMP mode would cause my computer to not boot at first. I was getting errors according to my motherboard debug LED saying that the RAM didn't have enough voltage, or that memory wasn't even detected. This caused alot of frustration at first as I have never encountered any issues with RAM on their XMP profiles before. I later found that it was actually my motherboard not feeding enough Voltage (on X99 boards like mine, this is called VCCSA in your bios). So i upped it from default .82 to .85 and it booted perfectly. If you run into this issue, do not fret. There are some great articles made specifically for ddr4-3000 RAM on asus's website because this is a common issue amongst NON-QVL memory. Also to note (not particularly a con, but still again, worth mentioning), this Memory is NOT on the Qualified Vendor List (QVL) for alot of ASUS ROG Boards. I have the X99 Rampage V Extreme and it was not on the list, and gave me the voltage issues, but again, to re-iterate, this is not the Memory's fault, but the motherboard itself.
Overall Review: Specs below for reference: Intel i7 5930k @ 3.8ghz (Stock) ASUS X99 Rampage V Extreme (Latest Bios update from Nov 2015) GeiL Super LUCE 16GB DDR4-3000 Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 CoolerMaster M2 Silent Pro 850 W PSU Again, highly recommend this RAM, its worked great, just don't freak out if it doesn't work perfectly on XMP on X99 boards, as the voltage MAY have to be tweaked a bit on the mobo's side. -In regards to the Lighting/LEDs on the memory, they look awesome and are a really nice solid red color - but know that they do not flash/light up in sync, they have profiles that make them flash slower/faster depending on the temp of the heatsink. But they do look awesome and it doesn't really look any worse than if they were to be solid or in sync. They turn off when the computer is off, but they will remain on if the computer is put to sleep.
Great CPU
Pros: CPU is leaps and bounds faster (at stock speeds) than my old 3770k *which I couldn't OC*. I was using a very old H77 chipset board inside a micro-itx case with my 3770k, and because I couldn't overclock it, and the z77 boards were increasingly harder to find and mostly discontinued, I upgraded to this CPU with a newer motherboard. This thing FLIES. I went from 200-250FPS in CSGO, to 300-400 FPS (all max'd settings 1080p). Stock 4.0 this thing zooms past the 3.8ghz 3770k. Happy with the upgrade
Cons: Stock cooler is atrocious. I have this CPU in an M-ITX case that has very good airflow, and on stock speeds I saw the CPU hitting 85-90 degrees (celsius).
Overall Review: I had to go out to the local retailer and buy an h100i, which dropped the temps to 25-30 idle and 55-60 load (65 on p95). Get a new cooler with this CPU, you won't regret it.
Great case - Primary gaming PC fits great
Pros: This case has fit everything I've wanted to install pretty easily. Coming from a full tower, I was worried, but my entire gaming PC fits fine in this case. I was using a stock intel cooler, but recently upgraded to the H100i and it fit perfectly. There is hardly any space betweent he fans and the motherboard, but the fans don't touch anything and the cooler does its job great with the space it has. The case has a ton of great airflow, and the air passively comes out of the back with ease
Cons: None other than the fact that the rubber feet on the bottom came off the first day I got it, so I had to tape them back on because otherwise the case was uneven. But it may be me, because every case I get loses case feet fast..but this is the only reason I took a star off.
Overall Review: PC specs (In the case) Intel i7 4790K ASUS Maximus Impact VII (M-ITX) 8GB DDR3 Corsair Vengeance RAM MSI Nvidia GTX 680 Lightning (yes, it fits perfect and doesn't touch anything else) Corsair h100i Water cooler Samsung EVO 840 SSD Western Digital 1tb mechanical drive Coolermaster 850watt Silent Pro II
Great Memory!
Pros: This memory worked flawlessly (IN QUAD CHANNEL) on my ASUS x79 motherboard coupled with an intel 3930k motherboard. It was plug and play and the XMP profile to bump it to 1600 from 1333 worked perfectly. Absolutely no errors.
Cons: None at all.
Overall Review: I have always bought corsair products and have used them for every available part (ssd, ram, case, psu etc) and ive never been let down. ive received 3 sticks of ram total that were defective out of 100+ kits ive bought for custom system and corsair was not any of those 3. Their warranties are great and they give great service.
