Most Favorable Review

Great paste

Thermal Grizzly TG-H-030-R Hydronaut Thermal Grease - 3ml
Thermal Grizzly TG-H-030-R Hydronaut Thermal Grease - 3ml

Pros: Very good thermal transfer. Also, you dont need much, a thin layer will do. Stock AMD Ryzen 7 Gen 3 3700x, during full load never got above 75 degrees C. I am not running the stock heatsink.

Cons: to early to tell

Overall Review: If I ever need thermal paste again this will be my go to.

Most Critical Review

Great...untill it wasnt

Cooler Master MasterAir MA624 Stealth CPU Air Cooler, 6 Heat Pipes, Nickel Plated Base, Dual Tower Aluminum Black Fins, Dual SickleFlow 140mm Fans for AMD Ryzen/Intel 1200/1151 LGA 1700 Compatible
Cooler Master MasterAir MA624 Stealth CPU Air Cooler, 6 Heat Pipes, Nickel Plated Base, Dual Tower Aluminum Black Fins, Dual SickleFlow 140mm Fans for AMD Ryzen/Intel 1200/1151 LGA 1700 Compatible

Pros: it worked untill...

Cons: it bricked my MOBO. I went through 4 MOBO's untill I figured out one of the fans kept bricking my MOBO.

Overall Review: Dont waste your money on this. go with the Noctua NH-D15. Oh yea BTW, you stink Cooler Master. How am I supposed to provide proof of purchase when you will NOT accept Newegg's confirmation email?

Whats The Deal

Seagate FreeAgent Desk 2TB USB 2.0 3.5" External Hard Drive ST320005FDA2E1-RK
Seagate FreeAgent Desk 2TB USB 2.0 3.5" External Hard Drive ST320005FDA2E1-RK

Pros: I dont have this drive but I do have other Seagate drives (not avalible now) that I have had for 7 - 10 years and have had no problem with any of them. WD on the other hand is a problem. Every HDD I have that is WD has failed in less then 3 months. Then when I call coustomer service they tell me to ship it back. OK, first if I pay more that $250 for a HDD I expect them to kiss my bum and pay to have it shipped BOTH ways. Seagate has done this (drive damaged during shipping) WD has not. Therefore Seagate is the way to go.

Cons: NONE, its Seagate

I Love this board

ASUS M4A78 PRO AM3/AM2+/AM2 AMD 780G HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard
ASUS M4A78 PRO AM3/AM2+/AM2 AMD 780G HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: I Love this board! It has not let me down yet. Not one time. I bought this board as a replacement for an old Asus. My old board burned out. Don't know how, don't really care how, all I know is I replace the old one with this one and it works wonderfully. Oh, Asus tech support answered ALL of my questions when I had questions about processor compatibility.

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: I have no beef with Asus.

Western Digital Blue WD3200AAKS 320GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Fast, quiet, and inexpensive. Except when u buy it from someplace other than Newegg. See below.

Cons: Bought it new form a place here in OK call Computer Masters. I cost me $65 plus tax. I have had it for almost 2 months. This morning at about 2am CST on 8/01/09, I was removing some spyware from the drive and went to reboot and I got the blue screen. I have Windows 7 RC 64 bit. Good OS by the way, anyway I ran an OS fix and the result said bad registry. went to reinstall OS. Could not reinstall do to bad drive. I will update when...if I get a replacment from Computer Masters. If anyone has herd of them I DO NOT recomend them.

Overall Review: Good drive, bad decision on my part where I bought it from.
