Great Modular Design, Quiet, and Does What a Power Supply Does.

Thermaltake SMART Series SP-750M 750 W ATX 12V V2.3 & EPS 12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Semi-Modular Active PFC Power Supply
Thermaltake SMART Series SP-750M 750 W ATX 12V V2.3 & EPS 12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Semi-Modular Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: It worked right out of the box that’s a plus. I love the modular design much like my odd Thermaltake Black Widow. Reasonably prices when I bought it. The PSU fan is SUPER Quiet exactly what I wanted unlike last build. I do like the flat wiring makes it easier to tuck it away. I put a heavy load on it and all the readings are on the spot. I haven’t been able to try out the PCI-Express power cables because I don’t have a graphics card quiet yet. I choose this particular on cause 1 i was on a tight 650 budget and 2 this power supply has been on the market for a very long time and it’s reliable as long as you don’t get a DOA.

Cons: Only 1 12 volt rail. I knew this before buying it I just really wish it had more than one. The cables are alittle on the stiff side to bending them around tight spaces can be a pain, hopefully they loosen up a bit after a few months. The way my Mini-ITX build is I need the cables to been around corners and stuff for cable management if i want it to look pretty.

Overall Review: Just like me and Asus I have had Thermaltake parts for a very long time I want to say about 10 years and during that 10 years I have had great customer service so I don’t know what up with everyone else complaining about them. They Warrantied my black widow twice with no issues and some other things without a hitch. After selling my old rig for 600 bucks I wanted to build a Mini-ITX system this time around, and that is exactly what I did. My system build looks like this.

We Have Lift OFF!!!

Thermaltake Frio Overclocking-Ready Intel Core i7 (6-core ready) & i5 Compatible Five 8mm Heatpipes Dual 120mm Fans Intel & AMD Universal CPU Cooler CLP0564 - Retail
Thermaltake Frio Overclocking-Ready Intel Core i7 (6-core ready) & i5 Compatible Five 8mm Heatpipes Dual 120mm Fans Intel & AMD Universal CPU Cooler CLP0564 - Retail

Pros: Way better cooling then the CR@PPY one Intel gives you. my temps at idle are around 32-36 C on my q9505 and not to mention quiet on the low setting, full load i got around 55 C and the Intel cooler ran around 60 almost 70 so that's a significant difference

Cons: Really Loud!! only when you turn both fan up all the way. Also when i went to plug it in one of the fan blades shot across the room. Been Working with Thermaltakes Rma service For the Past Month and a half trying to figuer out why my fan is not replaced yet. not to mention every time i call there department the phone keeps hanging up on me or it will ring for 2 min and no one will answer (the key is you have to keep redailing about 30 times) someone will finally answer. sent then my invoice as instucted from there web site cause if i purchesed the item less then 30 days they send me a new one and i send mine back and they pay for it. Only to find out the tech that deals with the rma email was on vacation and no one else had acess to that e-mail. so by this time a whole month passed that i wasted my time. now they sent me a return label but still havent receved my new fan Purchuse date 3/13/11 day it broke 3/17/11 day i posted this message 4/26/11

Overall Review: If your going to have a company that makes product for the consumers HAVE A BETTER RMA SYSTEM!!!!!!!! or atleast give email accsess to someone else while the main person is on vacation You may have lost my services after this experience!!!!

Didn't arrive DOA, but it is kinda loud and a little concerning

ASUS USB 2.0 White External Slim CD / DVD Re-Writer Mac OS Compatible Model SDRW-08D2S-U
ASUS USB 2.0 White External Slim CD / DVD Re-Writer Mac OS Compatible Model SDRW-08D2S-U

Pros: Well it didn’t arrive dead. And because of Fedex’s screw ups Newegg made things right with a Newegg gift card which I used and $15 off during St. Pattys day. And then after the rebate I was paid 5 dollars and some change to buy this Item. Works for me. I love the slick white look of it, doesn’t take up a whole lot of space. I reads very fast. Burns just as well. What else is there really to say about a CD-Rom drive as long as it does its job.

Cons: I really hope this isn’t going to defect out but the laser make a horrible noise when reading it’s almost like a quiet high pitched screech. I’m thinking about putting it through an extensive cd-rom testing. If it tests bad i’ll just exchange it. I kinda wish the cord was a tad longer.

Overall Review: Well I really wish it was black but the black on wasn’t on sale, beggars can’t be choosers I suppose. Maybe I overlooked this or don’t remember reading this but It has 2 usb ports Why? I haven’t read into the manual to find out why yet. But someone else’s review said you can run it on just one. Do you lose performance out of it then? Questions I will have to find out eventually. After selling my old rig for 600 bucks I wanted to build a Mini-ITX system this time around, and that is exactly what I did. I failed to realize I needed a CD-rom drive to install a lot of my games I have a CD for. And didn’t realize my case didn’t have a spot for one. If any one want to know this is my system build CPU: Intel Core I5 7600 Kaby Lake Board: Asus Z170I Pro Gaming LGA 1151 Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX (16 GB) DDR4 3000 CPU Cooler: Zalman CNPS9500 PSU: Thermaltake SMART Series SP-750M 750W Case: Thermaltake Core V1Extreme Mini ITX Cube Chassis Graphics Card: Geforce GTX 1060 (Coming Soon!!!)

Thermaltake Core V1 Extreme Mini ITX Cube Chassis, Compatible with Air and Liquid Cooling Builds (CA-1B8-00S1WN-00)

Pros: It’s a perfect cube, so that means you can change all the side panels to where ever you want. The bottom panel has a filter on it so dust won’t clog my power supply fan. My biggest Pro was the price was almost a steal for this type of study design. I thought for the price it would be a flimsy piece of ****. Opened it up and was pleasantly surprised. Even though it’s small I was still able to find components out there that would fit. I was worried about that when I bought it. I personally bought the ZALMAN CNPS9500 AT 2 Ball CPU Cooling Fan/Heatsink. Fits perfect with loads of room to spare. USB 3.0 slots in the front are perfect I like the window top panel I would have preferred all the panels to be like that. The stock 200MM fan moves air and is so quiet!! Cable management is pretty good If you have a modular power supply its even better

Cons: it arrived 5 days before all my other components, so I was like thanks Newegg for sending me my case with nothing to put in it!!! In all fairness it’s not their fault. Only 2 hard drive chassis, I plan on buying a SSD to add and have to figure out where I’m putting it. I might need to fabricate one, and mod the case slightly. No slot for a CD-Rom but if they did it would be a lot bigger of the case and I wouldn’t like it at all. So I bought an external not a big deal I guess. I really do hate the side buttons; I thought they would be a button that would push in further to engage the power. But it’s a click button that you can easily bump and BOOM computer restarted all work lost. Also I would have liked them better if they faced forward instead of on the side. I guess personal preference.

Overall Review: I bought a Wally World desk a long time ago I would say 7-8 years ago and right below the drawer there is a cubby hole type of area. It fit in it so perfectly with no problems with heat. I’m of course blocking the side air vents so I’m relying on the front fan moving enough air through the case to reach all my fan to keep it cool. I really with Newegg would make it so you can contact other members and ask them questions. I want to know what GTX 1060 Marquela N. used because I’m looking at getting one but can’t make up my mind. Anyways I put 2 X 80 MM exhaust fans in the back, the side panels are blocked from the side of the desk I have, so air just moves front to back. I had to zip tie all the cables out of the way from my front fan so the maximum amount of air flow can reach the CPU cooler I had bought, then from there the fan blows though the fins and right in to the exhaust fans. So I think about 70-80% of the air that has been heated up goes right out the back. With that being said do your research hard before buying anything if you are getting this case.

CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 3000 (PC4 24000) Desktop Memory Model CMK16GX4M2B3000C15B

Pros: Well It worked that’s always a plus right? It’s pretty fast to big huge difference from my DDR2 I had in my old rig. Windows 10 experience rated it a 8.2 out of 9.9 so that’s pretty cool. That’s not the only test I did, I did the Performance test app and read top 93% of the world in memory. That’s got to mean something I’m pretty sure. Scores were really high and I don’t remember the numbers it was a trial version. But If I had the money I would have gotten the 2 sticks at 32GB that’s how much I love them.

Cons: I think it was a fluke that the one person had a hard drive went corrupt after installing it. Just to let you know Christine A. there are plenty of programs that could have gotten all your information off so no it wasn’t lost forever unless it was a head crash.. Testdisk is a great program to recover anything from a damaged corrupted hard drive. The only way you would not have been able to recover it is if it wrote 0’s to the drive or again if the head crashed. Anyways no cons for me other than mine get a little on the hot side but nothing to alarming like oh my gosh they’re on fire!! Also Just cause you have a problem with your sticks, that doesn't mean no one else should ever buy them. Computer parts are mass produces and there's bound to be a couple bad apples in the batch so to speak.

Overall Review: If you want fast cheap memory this is the one for you. You get great amount of speed for not a lot of money.I don't have a whole lot else to say. I'm happy with my purchase. I only had a problem with my board clocking these down for some odd reason. I eventually fixed it and all is fine now. After selling my old rig for 600 bucks I wanted to build a Mini-ITX system this time around, and that is exactly what I did. My system build looks like this.

What a absolute Masterpiece with a (cow pattys) for a Cooler!! Since i can't say the word...

Intel Core i5 7th Gen - Core i5-7600 Kaby Lake Quad-Core 3.5 GHz LGA 1151 65W BX80677I57600 Desktop Processor
Intel Core i5 7th Gen - Core i5-7600 Kaby Lake Quad-Core 3.5 GHz LGA 1151 65W BX80677I57600 Desktop Processor

Pros: The cost is reasonable. If I didn’t know any better I would think I had an I7 in it. The computing is lighting fast (This is coming from a guy that just upgraded from a socket 775 Q9505 quad core). I’m not big for overclocking processors I guess my thought is if you want it that fast buy it that fast or buy a better processor. I guess I'm weird like that. But with this one I don’t see a need to overclock at all. The power consumption is so low. I highly recommend this processor if you’re going for something in the middle of an I3 or an I7. If you don’t have the money for a graphics card at the moment don’t worry it plays a lot of AAA titles out there obviously not at high settings but not at low settings either well maybe some of them. It even gets an 8.2 in the windows experience score in Windows 10. The GPU get 9.9 in D3D and 6.6 in Graphics. I also ran a program called Performance Test and it even got a score of 8,902.

Cons: Yes let’s move on to the Con’s. Let’s start by criticizing everyone else’s reviews and talk about the stock heatsink. GARBAGE!!! I listen to all your guy’s review about how you shouldn’t have to get an aftermarket heatsink because it runs cool enough. But everyone failed to put up temps. Well to save everyone else the headache FIND A NEW COOLER!! Just browsing the web and installing some games I’m running 60 C!!! Yes I installed it correctly TWICE!! How is that cool? I even wiped off the stock thermal compound and put on some Arctic silver 5. Maybe I’m use to my old Thermaltake Frio CLP0564 cooler for my 775 running my CPU at 35C – 45C that’s my comfort range. Now this is nothing Newegg can help but I was suppose to get 2 day and got it much later but newegg took care of the problem though and made things right after fighting with them for 3 days. I went with an all copper CPU heatsink by Zalman and it put me back in my comfort zone.

Overall Review: So on a previous review someone had said they recommend windows 10 because something about windows 7 not having driver support… I don’t know what he is talking about I ran windows 7 just fine with all my games and everything else and got the same readings as windows 10. But I did notice after doing all the updates for windows 7 it severely bogged down and wasn’t as fast as it should be. So I made the decision to go with windows 10 instead. So yes I do recommend windows 10 but you can run windows 7 if you choose to without too much of an issue too. After selling my old rig for 600 bucks I wanted to build a Mini-ITX system this time around, and that is exactly what I did. My system build looks like this. CPU: Intel Core I5 7600 Kaby Lake Board: Asus Z170I Pro Gaming LGA 1151 Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX (16 GB) DDR4 3000 CPU Cooler: Zalman CNPS9500 PSU: Thermaltake SMART Series SP-750M 750W Case: Thermaltake Core V1Extreme Mini ITX Cube Chassis Graphics Card: Geforce GTX 1060 (Coming Soon!!!)

My items arrived with all the other Newegg Items

I would highly recommend this seller as they shipped out my power supply just as fast as Newegg its self would have. It even arrived with some of the other parts that I ordered with Newegg. Its a good thing because I couldn't finish my computer build with out the all important power supply. Everything was exactly as described. If they ever have something I'm looking for, I wouldn't hesitate to buy from again if the price is right. Thanks guys keep up the great work!!
