New boot drive for laptop OVERKILL!!!

Intel 540s Series M.2 2280 1TB SATA III TLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SSDSCKKW010X6X1
Intel 540s Series M.2 2280 1TB SATA III TLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SSDSCKKW010X6X1

Pros: I purchased a Lenovo Y700 bare minimum.. Open M.2 80mm port, single stick of memory.. 5400rpm drive.. But it had potential! Then I purchased THIS! Popped it in, couldn't clone from 2.5" drive to this for the life of me.. But that had to be my fault.. USER ERROR. So I opt'ed for a clean install of Windows 10 from a USB AND OHMYGOD IT'S SO FAST. And BIG. SO. MUCH. SOLID STATE. STORAGE. I installed this and replaced the 2.5" 5400rpm drive with a 1TB(32GB Solid state partition) SSHD simultaneously and I hardly use the SSHD over this gorgeous piece of technology. Five year warranty from INTEL. Drive health monitoring software!

Cons: HOW COULD THERE BE ANY NEGATIVE ATTRIBUTES TO THIS PRODUCT?!?!

Overall Review: If you have an open M.2 YOU NEED TO FILL IT. You're wasting so much potential.. Your grandmother would be so disappointed.. Buy this and make her proud!

99% perfect!

DEEPCOOL GENOME II The Upgraded Worldwide First Unique Gaming Case with Integrated 360mm Liquid Cooling System Black Case with Green Helix
DEEPCOOL GENOME II The Upgraded Worldwide First Unique Gaming Case with Integrated 360mm Liquid Cooling System Black Case with Green Helix

Pros: VERY open layout. Took out the drive bays. Vertical mount displays my Titan X Pascal like a trophy! Front helix is gorgeous and has g1/4" threads, so this case is perfect for going from an AIO to a fully custom loop and you can even keep the front piece. AIO fans have white LEDs, which was a welcome surprise, helps show everything off.

Cons: Front/pump light cannot be adjusted; pulse or off... Would really be happy with ON. The PCIE extension is VERY touchy, but looks amazing.

Overall Review: I plan to SLI two Titan X Pascals and convert from the AIO to a custom loop.

Perfect for having all your media on one box!

Pros: Xbox One S controllers have bluetooth- FINALLY! Perfect for a media player in your living room.

Cons: 4K is a bit of a stretch as far as gaming goes..

Overall Review: Got this in a Daily Deal bundle with a 4K TV for $400 TOTAL. I pretty much just use this for media streaming.......

Bundled 4k goodness!

Pros: Purchased this TV as a bundle with a Minecraft Favorites bundle Xbox One S for $400 TOTAL! TV is gorgeous; Everything I watch has so much more detail!

Cons: Not a fan of the legs.

Overall Review: This TV is perfect with a smart device; Chromecast Ultra, Xbox One S, PS4PRO.

Absolute OC champ!

Intel Core i7 7th Gen - Core i7-7700K Kaby Lake Quad-Core 4.2 GHz LGA 1151 91W BX80677I77700K Desktop Processor
Intel Core i7 7th Gen - Core i7-7700K Kaby Lake Quad-Core 4.2 GHz LGA 1151 91W BX80677I77700K Desktop Processor

Pros: Easy install under an AIO cooler onto a Z270E board. Installed Windows 10, updated everything and immediately went back into bios and punched this thing to 5GHz at 1.3V first try with perfect stability. I'm honestly thinking about pushing for more!

Cons: Ryzen killer! xD

Overall Review: With this processor releasing months before the new Ryzen lineup, many have waited to test their options, but Ryzen couldn't hold a candle to this chip. Lightning fast, optimal for gaming.

Trouble dialing in bios settings

G.SKILL TridentZ RGB Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 3866 (PC4 30900) Desktop Memory Model F4-3866C18D-16GTZR
G.SKILL TridentZ RGB Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 3866 (PC4 30900) Desktop Memory Model F4-3866C18D-16GTZR

Pros: Installed two 16GB kits onto an Asus Z270E, the RGB synced up to the boards' RGB instantly.

Cons: Board supposedly supports up to 3866MHz, which is what this kit is... Serial numbers are in in sequence, all 4 modules work great, but couldn't get post once I enabled XMP.. Had to continuously tweak settings; memory frequency and voltage until I could finally dial in at 3733MHz at 1.3996V.. I don't blame the memory, I blame the board.

Overall Review: Get ready to spend a lot of time in bios with your case panel off...
