Most Favorable Review

Fantastic product

Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut  CPU GPU Cooling Ultra High Performance Liquid Metal Compound Cooler Fan Thermal Grease/Paste -1 Gram TG-C-001-R
Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut CPU GPU Cooling Ultra High Performance Liquid Metal Compound Cooler Fan Thermal Grease/Paste -1 Gram TG-C-001-R

Pros: I bought this product because a recommendation from Gamers Nexus. Just follow directions and make sure you clean both surfaces completely. 2 wipes are included for a reason.

Cons: I wish there was enough paste in the applicator for a 2nd use in case you have to take things apart again. I would have paid extra to have gotten it.

Overall Review: The paste works well and includes swabs to spread it out. Yes, I will buy this product again.

Most Critical Review

Not a bad product....... BUT

Fractal Design Aspect 14 RGB 140 mm PWM Wide 500-1700 RPM Range Black Frame Computer Case Fan
Fractal Design Aspect 14 RGB 140 mm PWM Wide 500-1700 RPM Range Black Frame Computer Case Fan

Pros: Fans range out well on rpm... BUT

Cons: Part of this is my fault...... these are 3 pin fans. The only way the RGB works with a 4 pin motherboard is you have to use a controller with them. Now the BUT, even though you can daisy chain these fans with the cables they come with, lots of luck doing so. The male/female connectors are EXACTLY the same size. You'll have to modify the female end in order to connect them ( trim off the plastic shroud ). Once I trimmed these, I wrapped 3M electrical tape around them to hold the connectors together. 3M tape is very flexible and sticky. I should have sent these back because of the connector issue. But, I wanted to finish the build.

Overall Review: The fans work well..... very nice price point... the RGB I can live with ( once again, my fault on lack of research ), just have to order controllers. But the power connectors, that problem should never have happened. I gave 3 eggs only because the fans work well. Would I buy them again? No...... won't ever happen because of the connector problem. I use to build Hotrods back when I was younger. And I understand " modification may be required for installation of said parts ". But we're talking computers, not cars.

Nice basic gaming mouse

CORSAIR KATAR PRO XT Ultra-Light Gaming Mouse, CH-930C111-NA
CORSAIR KATAR PRO XT Ultra-Light Gaming Mouse, CH-930C111-NA

Pros: Lightweight, not many buttons ( I have fat fingers ). Fits the hand well. Very accurate. And Corsair RGB works well with ASUS. Just install the ICUE software and you're good to go.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Nice gamer at the price point. This mouse works great... period.

Good card at the price point

GIGABYTE Radeon RX 6800 GAMING OC 16G Graphics Card, WINDFORCE 3X Cooling System, 16GB 256-bit GDDR6, GV-R68GAMING OC-16GD Video Card, Powered by AMD RDNA 2, HDMI 2.1

Pros: Lower current draw, shorter length and it does what it's suppose to do. Runs buttery smooth. I paired this up with a 5900X CPU and 32 GB of 3200MHz C16 ram. This thing is part of a beast build.

Cons: Here is my one con... and this has to do with EVERY manufacturer out there. I cannot control the RGB lighting in this card because I'm using a ASUS X570 motherboard. The software is NOT compatible....PERIOD. Yeah, I guess I should have done a little more homework. Come on people, this is fixable. For an example, ALL of the automotive manufacturers are OBD II compliant, ALL of YOU are Windows and LINUX compatible. Not everyone likes to use the same brands for everything, especially when it's comes to availability and price. This is why I gave the card 4 eggs instead of 5.

Overall Review: Other than my one complaint, this is a good card. Does what it's suppose to do. Would I buy it again? If the RGB issue can be resolved, it's a definite YES. I'd recommend it even with the one complaint, which is minor.

This thing is huge!

DEEPCOOL ASSASSIN III, Premium Dual-Tower CPU Cooler with 2xPWM 140mm Fans, 7 Direct Contact Heatpipes, Support LGA 2066 / AM4
DEEPCOOL ASSASSIN III, Premium Dual-Tower CPU Cooler with 2xPWM 140mm Fans, 7 Direct Contact Heatpipes, Support LGA 2066 / AM4

Pros: I'm not into water coolers because of replacement cost. The worst that can happen with this is the fans wearing out and they can be replaced quite easily (140mm). As for cooling, this is comparable to many 240mm AIO water units. Keeps my 5900X nice and cool under load. Unless you're an extreme overclocker, the fans do not get loud other then when you sync them.

Cons: You have got to have a large case to fit this beast. I'm using a Corsair A540 Carbide, so this was not an issue for me. If you want to use RGB ram, there is some adjustment on the outer fan. But, you'll need a motherboard with 4 ram slots so that you can clear the ram on A2 and B2 slots. Still, watch how tall the ram is that you plan on installing.

Overall Review: Easy install. 1st time using this brand of cooler. So far, working out as expected. I was planning on buying NOCTUA, but this DEEPCOOL offers the same performance at a nicer price. If you're not into AIO's and you have a large enough case, consider looking at this.
