Good PSU
Pros: -Partially modular -Quiet
Cons: -Flat cables do not look or cable manage quite as well as braided round cables. -I would have been nice if they included some cable with one or two power plugs.
Overall Review: -I have a USB 3.0 that requires molex for power but because the cable only come in three heads it is a little unsightly; a one head cable would have made it look a lot nicer.
Great quility
Pros: -Lots of cable management options. -Lights look good without being too bright. -Dust filters are a great feature.
Cons: -They should have included 140mm fans as the case is compatible with it. -A light in the back of the case would have evened out the look of the case. -No 5.25in bays. -Top fan filter is to easy to knock off.
Overall Review: I bought this for my brother and the install went great. The case is sturdy with a slight exception to the fan mounting location on the front of the case. There are no 5.25in bays witch was a bummer although this is my own fault for not carefully looking at the specs.
Almost perfect.
Pros: -Price is good. -Lots of ports.
Cons: -Uses molex for supplemental power.
Had to RMA
Pros: -I used the same cooler in the past and it works great. -Keeps temps cool even when compared with high end air coolers.
Cons: -Mine makes a trickling noise indicating that there is air in the system.
Overall Review: -I have this on my last build and it works great even giving me a 5c drop in temp over the high end air cooler that it replace. -The one that I bought for my new build is defective and I am doing an RMA. However because I had such a good experience with my old one I will be ordering another Corsair AIO cooler (though I will be buying a higher end model).
Works great for my build
Pros: -Fan headers in great locations. -Bios looks good and is easy to navigate. -Board looks nice and reels sturdy.
Cons: -RGB lighting can only be controlled by software from whiten the OS. -Main boot order in BIOS a little confusing as to what icon is for what drive.
Overall Review: -The fact that the RGB lighting can not be controlled in the BIOS is the most major annoyance as changing the settings requires you to run a program in the background at all times. -It's called the "Carbon" but the only thing even remotely carbon about it is some decals on the board heat sink.
Happy with purchase
Pros: -Fast -Lightning quick boot time -Runs reasonably cool with Corsair AIO cooler.
Cons: -None
Overall Review: -Go for it, great chip.
