HEC 580

Pros: Real attention to detail. The PSU comes in a soft cloth bag. High gloss finish with soft blue glow fans. Gold plated fan grill. Wires nicely covered and grouped. Plenty of length for ATX case. Lots of power that seems to be well regulated. Nvidia and ATI SLI dual certified. Absolute best bang for the buck and actually made by HEC.
Cons: Not really cons - plenty of molex connectors. Need to purchase sata-molex adapters if using more than 4 sata devices. This PSU is for custom rig.
Overall Review: Number of and type of plugs should be published in specs though there are plenty of them. HEC has been around a long time with a great reputation making OEM
RC 534 Plus

Pros: Nice conservative design. Easy to install components with lots of airflow.
Cons: Power switch is horrible. Poor feel. Wiggles..unreliable. Hope to get more than 6 months service from this. Both reset and power buttons have fell out more than once. Service dept still has not replaced. Will probably buy a diffrent case.
Overall Review: The reset button was found lying on the carpet when it was unpacked. Note in one professional review (in the photos) the reset button was missing entirely.
Junk Junk

Pros: If I could get it running maybe I could say something positive
Cons: Im not sure at this point if the hardware is bad or the software is at fault but it never recognized the capture device. The drivers only load (on Windows 10) if the hardware is plugged in. So, it off to the dump with this.
Pros and Cons (nothings perfect) on an ASUS AM3+ M5A97 MB and FX8370 CPU

Pros: It is an effective cooler for 125W CPU's (the box claims up to 150w) after you go through the gyrations. This replaced a XIGMATEK Gaia SD1283, 3 heatpipe cooler. The Deepcool (4 heatpipe) runs 1 to 2 c Cooler but ramps up temps faster before the fan brings the temps back into place.
Cons: Difficult to get wire clips on to retain the cooler to fan. I replaced the stock fan with a Cougar PWM fan thinking they had better bearings and longer life. Some fins were bent out of the box which I straitened. The extra fan clips for a second fan were missing (I will make my own from piano wire). I also had to bend (reshape) the Gammex CPU retainer bracket to install on my AMD 3+ FX8370. Otherwise the MB would have broken from the pressure needed to catch the hooks on the AMD fan brackets.
Overall Review: I did reuse my old superior (larger) backing plate from my XIgmatek cooler to give the motherboard additional support for the large gammex 400 cooler.Used Nocturna thermal compound. Newegg shipping took 11 days. This is in a NZXT case that I can access the CPU from the rear.., (1) 120 mm case side fan pulling air in, (2) Nocturna 140 mm top fans exhausting and (1) 120 mm Fractal design rear fan exhausting. You can expect 29C to 32C at idle depending on ambient. As I write this, I am 4 C over ambient. In the future, I will install a second fan in push pull and see how that works. ---As promised, I did install a second fan in Push Pull (tricky with the clip on wire, you need patience). Anyway. now Temps are consistently, 1C over ambient at idle. Not to bad at all. Highest temp I could get from heavy gaming was 45C
32gb flash

Pros: It works with no problem in a Samsung Galaxy Tab4 , 10.1
Cons: none
Junk

Pros: Nothing. This is the worst computer accessory I ever bought and over 25 years I have bought a lot.
Cons: Keyboard doesn't work properly and mouse buttons mix up between left and right. Sometimes keys work and other times not. Radio questionable. Located problem with mouse as plastic was not removed between the buttons causing both to depress. As far as keyboard is concerned, pressing a letter gives you pot luck.
Overall Review: Mine is going in the trash as its not worth the return. Putting my old Logitech back in with sticky keys. Even that is better than this ensemble.
