Most Critical Review

It cools but its a cheap and disapointing

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler, 4 CDC Heatpipes, 120mm PWM Fan, Aluminum Fins for AMD Ryzen/Intel LGA1200/1151

Pros: Does not cost too much. Does keep CPU nice and cool

Cons: The fan is very cheap and makes a lot of noise, at high load sounds like a jet engine. The fan will make a clicking noise so not quality bearings. Installation may be the most challenging part of putting together a computer tbh, this was not well designed but it's better than nothing.

Overall Review: if you are strapped for cash sure go for it. otherwise use the stock cooler or buy a nice unit. I learned from my mistake.

Get the job done

Asus Black SATA 24X DVDRW E-Green No Logo  Model DRW-24F1ST/BLK/B/GEN

Pros: Reads and writes fine out of the box

Cons: Very loud feels flimsy and cheaply made

Overall Review: If you need an optical drive for occasional use, this is fine. However, based on how it feels during use I don't believe this has a long life span. So keep that in mind
