BEAST!

GIGABYTE AORUS GeForce RTX 2080 Ti XTREME WATERFORCE WB 11G Graphics Card, Pre-Installed Waterblock, 11GB 352-Bit GDDR6, GV-N208TAORUSX WB-11GC Video Card
GIGABYTE AORUS GeForce RTX 2080 Ti XTREME WATERFORCE WB 11G Graphics Card, Pre-Installed Waterblock, 11GB 352-Bit GDDR6, GV-N208TAORUSX WB-11GC Video Card

Pros: This was the card I chose to do my first custom hard line water loop with (boy was it tough in an ITX case). It absolutely smokes the MSI Seahawk X GTX 1080 I had. It's a long card so if you're up for a challenge like I was and feel like going ITX then check your dimensions. This barely fit between my front rad and fans in the H200i. This thing overclocks itself right out of the box. Clock speeds advertised as 1770 mhz are an understatement atleast for mine (started up Division 2 and it was running at 2100 MHZ without OC). It stays 50 degrees Celsius in my ITX case which is awesome considering I have 1 240mm RAD in the front and 1 120mm RAD in the back. So far so good with this I have no complaints and love the performance its giving me. Maxes out any game I throw at it in 1080p and looks real good on my 240hz GSync monitor.

Cons: Not really a con, more of a heads up but this thing is heavy. REAL heavy. I had to use a piece of PETG under the card to hold it level cause it sagged to all hell.

Overall Review: RGB is really bright and awesome, so I'm not sure what the other reviews are all about.

Outstanding!

Pros: Very fast, always full signal and I'm in the basement of my 3 family house and the router is on the very top floor.

Cons: NONE!

AWESOME!

ARCTIC MX-4 Thermal Paste, Carbon Based High Performance Thermal Compound for All Coolers, Thermal Interface Material, 4 Grams
ARCTIC MX-4 Thermal Paste, Carbon Based High Performance Thermal Compound for All Coolers, Thermal Interface Material, 4 Grams

Pros: Immediately dropped my CPU temps from 32c idle to 25c idle. I'm using the Corsair H100 with 4 Cougar fans in push/pull config controller by a Scythe Kaze Master Pro. The real reason I bought this was for my GPU as the usual stock paste sucks. Dropped my GPU temps from about 55c idle to 41c idle (also change my back case fan from push to pull so that probably helped in the signifcant drop).

Cons: Doesn't go to well with crackers and caviar!

Overall Review: Give it a shot, its only 9$ and definitely better than any stock paste.

Works Perfectly

Pros: Needed this dude to the fact the front USB cables on my 650d didnt come with the native head for the USB3 on the mobo.

Cons: None whatsoever!

Overall Review: Cheap and worth it!

What a monster!

CORSAIR Hydro Series H100 (CWCH100) Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler

Pros: So far so good, keeps my CPU as cold as ice. Haven't had any problems [yet] with pump noise, etc. With the push/pull config of my 4 cougars (black) this cooler really shines!

Cons: Kinda dumb they put the fan controller so that you have to keep your case open which ruins air flow. Nothing the Scythe Kaze Master can't fix ;)

Overall Review: When will they make one that can cool a beer/cpu combo?

Thank the man up above for BLACK!

COUGAR Vortex PWM 120mm (CF-V12HPB) Cooling Fan with Hydro-Dynamic Bearing and Pulse Width Modulation (Black Version)
COUGAR Vortex PWM 120mm (CF-V12HPB) Cooling Fan with Hydro-Dynamic Bearing and Pulse Width Modulation (Black Version)

Pros: I wanted these fans so bad due to all the youtube videos I was watching, but I couldnt stand that horrible neon orange! These fans move air let me tell you. I ordered 5 of them, 4 for my H100 push/pull configuration and the fifth for my rear fan in my case. I have them running at 1100rpm at most times and 800rpm when I'm just browsing or idle. Even on max if you really crank these babies up you can barely hear a thing! Extremely happy with this buy.

Cons: Like others had said there are no LED models. I would also love to see cougar come out with a 200mm!

Overall Review: Picked up the scythe kaze master pro and have all these hooked up to em.
