Overall Review: First time buying this brand. Haven't run any "tests" for speed or anything, but the few Xfers I have done have all been limited to the flash drives ability of xferring speed. Haven't noticed anything "unusual" in regards to heat... The USB-C port naturally gets hot, hence why it is metal to begin with, it can take the heat. I have an external drive to it that all my games are installed on. When playing for many hours, there is no heat issues since I am not xferring data. My phone (Android) will charge, but not rapidly charge. I expected this as USB 3.0 is not USB-C. No problems xferring data back and forth from the phone. *But* I cannot use the external drive in combo with my Logitech surround sound headphones... When there is a lot of action going on, the headphones begin to stutter, no delays in game otherwise, but when the action stops, sound goes back to normal... Therefore, I plug my headphones in a separate USB port on my laptop and no problems since. (I suspect this is a feedback issue as the game files is sending audio to my laptop, then back through the same port in the hub... This tells me nothing new has changed in the way of extension hubs, this is a 4 port hub, but all ports can only "share" the total "power" (amps/watts/volts), which is why some USB extension hubs have a power adapter for the wall power outlet, those ones usually have full power to each individual port (which I do have one of those types of hubs) Again, I expected this and for my purpose did not need a power adapter style hub, so this is not a con, just an observation as I was certain the USB-C port can handle the power of both the external drive and headphones, but did not expect this hub to handle it. I just needed a simple hub that was normal USB and I only have a USB-C port to serve that need, otherwise I would have just bought a normal USB hub.) -the physical looks and feel are impressive. The hub itself is surprisingly heavy, and my biggest happiness of it is the ports are spaced apart from each other enough that I can use my awkward flash drives that are bulky or unique designs that I can't otherwise use in my laptop at all because the ports are so close together, I can only use thin devices in them. The cord length for my taste is too long, but this is not a bad thing. I have a huge 17 inch msi gaming laptop and I plug this hub on the left side and it can wrap around (going upward around the monitor) without stress to almost reach the right side. I would estimate a 1ft cord length. As I said the cord length is not a bad thing, it's just coming out of the box "wrapped" tightly in the original figure 8 or loop, the stiffness is going to take time to flatten out and my specific setup on my table usually causes this hub to fall off the table and with it due to the heavy weight and natural kinetic energy of falling causes a serious swing of whatever is plugged in. I of course foreseen this and that did not happen to me as I weighted down the loop resistance to flatten out the cord with something heavy until it flattens out completely. ***Would definitely buy again***

Cons: Misleading specs: it says it's a 16 pin connector. I had assumed it was the general pci-e plugs that all GPU uses. And technically it does, but it uses a extension/splitter cable that then connects to the 2 pci-e power plugs. The other end is a smaller version of the pci-e plug. Only time will tell how well this will hold up. (Note: the splitter was provided and in the box along with a GPU bracket/brace.

Overall Review: The con is not really a con, just an unexpected noteworthy observation. I have never seen a splitter like this before, and again it is just a smaller version of the pci-e power ends that you normally plug into a GPU. With that said, I decided to give it a go and I'm so far very satisfied with initial impressions. I am very surprised at the temps. The GPU so far has not gotten over 63 Celsius. Everything is on ultra, using a 34inch ultra wide monitor matched with a ryzen 7 5700x. The slim feature probably plays a significant role in the temps being so low. It is physically wider than my gigabyte 3070, but not as thick due to the slim model. I did not use the support brace/bracket as I didn't feel it necessary, there was no sag or bend, nor other concern that would make me think otherwise as it was lighter than the previous 3070 it replaced. My only reservations is the longevity/durability of the the power splitter, but only time can sort that out. Will try to remember to update review if things change. I'm already thinking of buying another one for a different build already.

Overall Review: I just put this in a new build with a RTX 3070, and a Ryzen 7 5700x, full atx mobo. I have done just basic stress testing, therefore did not do any actual watt/voltage measurements, just observations via hw+ monitor and cpuid, and the PSU works great. Came with the tiny mounting screws, and all advertised power cords which ALL were modular. Only ended up using 4 cords I believe, stored the rest for future needs.

Overall Review: My initial suspicion was the glass side panel. Figured it wouldn't allow the heat to escape properly. I was wrong. I paired this with a Ryzen 7 5700x, Corsair 360mm liquid aio, and 7 case fans (so total of 10 fans as the aio comes with 3 fans by default). When stress testing the CPU, I couldn't get it above 60c. While gaming, 46c. While gaming and streaming, 55c. The nvme m.2 drives also wouldn't go over 49c (I have 2 m.2 drives). It took a little playing with to see what panels did what, some you can remove, or move around, others are just to open and stuff wires then close again. The cable management is the best, lots of holes in the all the right places to sneak wires around in addition to the Velcro straps. Tip: don't screw in place the PSU until your done plugging everything in it and to the mobo and accessories... I tried to plug everything in after I installed it in place, with my big hands it didn't work out, as well as I was discovering better ways to run wires and ended up having to unplug multiple wires to reroute them in a newly discovered hole that hid the wires better... With all that said, I noticed no difference in temps with the side panels on or off. Idles avg 33c-36c before and after the panels were put in place. I have gamed straight for 6 hours on multiple occasions already, with just gaming, the CPU never got above 46c. The GPU had no effect on the CPU nor itself. It has always ran at 79/80c, that's just normal for that GPU. Even in my old case with a different build. So even though that's normal for the GPU and we all know heat rises which is where the CPU is located, still couldn't get it above 46c while just gaming and couldn't get above 60c while heavy stress testing.

Overall Review: Definitely would recommend though I've only had them less than a week. They are quiet and move some air. With that said, I ordered a better fan splitter, though I knew this going in and ordered the fans and the other splitter at the same time. The idea that this 5 fan splitter is going be fully powered by the one mobo slot was a no brainer and never even tried it. I put them in a phantek enthoo pro 2 case with a Ryzen 7 5700x. I stress tested the CPU... With all the massive air flow I couldn't get the CPU temps above 60C. For hard core gaming I can't get the CPU temps above 45C If I'm multitasking and gaming, can't get above 56C. Obviously, this is with the combo of the water cooler and case, can't give all the credit to the fans. It is a spider web mess if wires, which took an hour to make it all look good. Each fan comes with 4 fan screws, so 12 total, each fan has 2 wires, 1 4pin pwn, 1 3pin 5v RGB. Due to an unforseen mobo software problem I couldn't use the regular fusion RGB software (for gigabyte mobo). The RGB feature of the fans work perfectly fine with it, I personally didn't like the fusion RGB software due to a known bug with my mobo. So I use openrgb to control the RGB effects and they work great as you can see in the video. Will update on longevity if any of them fail in an unreasonable amount of time.

Overall Review: Installed this on a laptop that had just a regular HDD. No problems so far, boots up in seconds. Well that said, I always install a new OS, not a copy when installing SSDs. Only been a couple of weeks, but already ordered another one for a different laptop repair.
