AWESOME
Pros: 1050 watts of goodness! i dont even use half of it lol, i only have 1 gtx275 and a 9600gt and an i7. though i got this for the upcoming fermi based cards. someone mentioned stiff cables.... stiff cables means thick wires, thick wires means great electrical flow == GOOD. its also very quiet, and has a 3 pin fan adapter to attach to you mobo to control fan speed. modular design is great, im glad the mobo 24 pin is not modular though.
Cons: havnt found one yet.
Overall Review: this psu should suffice for most tri sli needs, going quad will require more probably. hopefully, it will be able to handle two gtx380's (if thats what there called) with a gt240 as a physx card, and a 3.8-4.0ghz i7. it should have no problem, that im confident in.
Doa
Pros: It came in great physical shape and with several accessories (manual included)
Cons: Unfortunately the board was doa. I tried everything in my power to get it to run (both a g3930 and 6700k would not boot). It happens. Newegg was quick to get my rma through and it's been sent back. Ordered an Asus prime z270 A and started on first boot. This is to be used with a g3930 for mining purposes. Yes I'm one of those guys :P
Overall Review: Always a risk when buying open boxes but the only thing I am out on is time so I'm not too worried about it
Intuitive and spacious
Pros: This case has good space, great cable management behind the tray, and an intuitive layout. The quality seems really good, doesn’t seem like they cheaped out on anything. Ek even makes a distribution plate for watercooling that fits nicely inside. Airflow through the case is good and has plenty of mounting for fans and radiators.
Cons: Only downside I found is that it didn’t come with the riser for vertically mounting your gpu. I can kind of understand since not everyone does that, but would be nice to know before hand (maybe I missed it?)
Overall Review: If you want a spacious case that isn’t a behemoth that takes up your living room then I would recommend this case 100%. East to work in.
So far so good
Pros: It prints very well! And it is very easy to set up. Wireless is awesome!
Cons: I have not messed with scanning too much but when I did try it it seemed to be a bit blurry. I'll have to mess with settings to make it better. Not gonna knock an egg off for it because it's probably me.
Overall Review: Don't hesitate to buy if you need an inexpensive printer with good quality!
Great little cooler
Pros: Keeps my 6700k in my silverstone raven rvz01b Suprisingly cool. I'm only using a thermaltek Riing 12 to cool it. Temp avg 28 ish c idle (fairly warm room, about 75ish f). I have not seen load temps go above 65c while playing ark, crysis 3, and other games, so it seems like a very good cooler
Cons: Some argument can be made on the price. Honestly I was expecting better polymer/plastic fans, they do feel cheap, and are a little flimsy.I cannot comment on their cooling ability or noise level as I didn't even try the fans
Overall Review: All in all it does a great job, and out of 4 coolers I tried, this one actually fit inside this case with trident z 3200 mhz cl14 memory and an asus maximus impact viii mobo. I had to manipulate the cooler (bend and work it before putting it on) in order for it to not only be low enough that the side panel with the case fan on it snug up against it, but so it also clears the vrm board and memory. There is about .5mm clearance on the memory and board, while the heatsink just touches the fan. The fan being mounted on the side panel perfectly aligns it over the heatsink. I don't know how it worked out so nicely, but it is perfect. Got lucky I guess
Great cpu
Pros: Great cpu, is very quick and responsive with a Samsung 850 pro ssd. Mated to an asus maximus viii impact mobo and works great!
Cons: Initially tried to run at 1.3v+ but I set the voltage manual to 1.2, runs like a charm even when it boosts. A little on the pricey side if not on sale
Overall Review: For the current price it can't be beat, as of this writing it's on sale for 19% off. So around 314. It's a great cpu for a fantastic price. Get it while it's on sale!
