Most Favorable Review

I recommend

ASUS M5A97 PLUS AM3+ AMD 970/SB950 ATX AMD Motherboard
ASUS M5A97 PLUS AM3+ AMD 970/SB950 ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: I think for the price it couldnt be beat, does everything i need it to, plus it has a really good bios with mouse control, lots of overclocking adjustments that a moron could figure out.. also was shipped free in three days time

Cons: nothing yet

Most Critical Review

i dont know how to start

Rosewill NEON K90 RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, Kailh Blue Switches, 15 RGB LED Backlight Effects, NKRO, Anti-Ghosting, Multimedia Control Keys, Macro Hotkeys, USB Passthrough
Rosewill NEON K90 RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, Kailh Blue Switches, 15 RGB LED Backlight Effects, NKRO, Anti-Ghosting, Multimedia Control Keys, Macro Hotkeys, USB Passthrough

Pros: i really liked the volume and multimedia options this KB offered

Cons: Keys started failing almost immediately and when i contacted customer service for both rosewill and newegg they acted like i was lying and then acted like i owned it for much longer than 2 hours before failure.

Overall Review: i ended up RMAing this hunk of garbage to newegg and putting my hard earned cash towards a gskill ripjaws... I dont like the multimedia buttons as well on this kb but i do however enjoy the ability to type. The rosewill KB is nothing worth buying or even looking at unless you get the top of the line switches with it, brown sucked

I would love to love this monitor

ASRock Phantom Gaming 27" QHD 2K 1440p 360Hz 0.03ms AMD FreeSync Premium Pro HDR400 OLED Gaming Computer Monitor with Height Adjustable, Swivel & Tilt stand PGO27QFV

Pros: It has a beautiful picture besides the stuck green pixel

Cons: I reported this to Newegg, they told me they would take care of it, then denied me a replacement when time came to do so. I contacted Asrock finally, and awaiting their answer. This monitor is abandoned by Asrock, they haven't done any software, firmware updates since the day it was released, not one. This product is not important to them at all. It has grey zone issues, flickers during dim renders. I have been promised by Asrock tech support that it would be getting fixed, last firmware and driver release is 1/12/25, I hate this because I love Asrock, didn't expect that

Overall Review: I guess I will go get a replacement, and probably have to pay to have it shipped both ways(according to Asrock)... This monitor has kinda broken me of taking Asrock serious, they once were a good company, but they are doing what their sister company does now, ignoring customers

Very comperable

DARKROCK D240 CPU Liquid Cooler with 240 mm Radiator, Addressable RGB Lights, Pure Copper Pump, and AMD, AM5/ AM4, Intel LGA 1700/1200 Brackets Ready - Black
DARKROCK D240 CPU Liquid Cooler with 240 mm Radiator, Addressable RGB Lights, Pure Copper Pump, and AMD, AM5/ AM4, Intel LGA 1700/1200 Brackets Ready - Black

Pros: I say, for the price of this cooler, it does a great job. It is silent, the only thing it is missing is hidden wiring and a VRM fan, but for the price, it is awesome. My temps on a 14700k were peak at 85c, and that is only 2c off from an Arctic LF3 240, so that is pretty darn good if you ask me.

Cons: Only thing, I had to get creative with the wiring, little tricky to hide on this model. I recommend anyone getting this to either get some auto parts store conduit, or some heat shrink tube(what I did).

Overall Review: I think DarkRock is on to something, I am impressed with the overall build quality. I took it apart and looked at the pump housing, and the ceramic bushings they used are much better than cooler masters plastic ones. Thumbs up guys, keep it up.

Killed a sn770 with a 100% smart

MAIWO M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure, USB 3.1 GEN2 10Gbps Support UASP Trim, 4TB Capacity, Tool Free M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD to USB-C Adapter Reader Case, Supports 2230/2242/2260/2280 PCIe M-Key SSDs
MAIWO M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure, USB 3.1 GEN2 10Gbps Support UASP Trim, 4TB Capacity, Tool Free M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD to USB-C Adapter Reader Case, Supports 2230/2242/2260/2280 PCIe M-Key SSDs

Pros: Not a thing

Cons: Lets start with the cooling that is nonexistent with a thermal pad that insulates the m.2 and only hooks it to a metal sheet that is super thin, instead of the aluminum body that would actually dissipate heat. Instead the metal sheet, if the thermal insulation pad didnt already hold heat in, is designed to radiate heat from inside the housing. It took one speed test, for this pcie3 nvme western digital sn770 black drive, to croak. It had a clean bill of health and a 100% smart rating from inside the pc.

Overall Review: It will be good at creating ewaste? I dunno, I feel bad for the drive. Last report he drive gave as it tried to throttle but the housings electrical instead poured the power to it, was 113c before it sizzled and died. I tried to unplug it, but it was in vain

Pros: It has everything I needed

Cons: VRM has been downgraded for some reason, not as described but still overkill for even a 7950x

Overall Review: I like it
