Most Favorable Review

So pretty!

DEEPCOOL Gamer Storm CAPTAIN 120 CPU Liquid Cooler AIO Water Cooling Ceramic Bearing Pump Visual Liquid Flow with 120mm FDB PWM Fan Rubber Coating Deep Silent Support LGA 2011-v3
DEEPCOOL Gamer Storm CAPTAIN 120 CPU Liquid Cooler AIO Water Cooling Ceramic Bearing Pump Visual Liquid Flow with 120mm FDB PWM Fan Rubber Coating Deep Silent Support LGA 2011-v3

Pros: Great looking, matches my case color sceme perfectly - black and blood red. the breathing LED is super cool looking too

Cons: feels cheap. cheap plasticy casing makes it not really feel as trustworthy as it should be as my CPU cooler. tubing is super stiff - i felt like i was fighting with it all through install and I was moving it around very gingerly as it felt like it was gonna pop at any time... it didn't but it's a hard feeling to shake when there is so much struggle

Overall Review: I run a very hot CPU (AMD DX-9590 8core) and this thing has gotten me into single digits at times (using Core Temp, my min max values range from 9-58 degrees Celsius). looks great, once it's installed. While i like the "visual liquid" showing through the CPU block, it's just a solid red - a little flow indicator tossed in there would look amazing and give a little more life to it.

Most Critical Review

worked nice for the first couple of days then it started doing weird repeats

Pros: looks cool, nice RGB modes

Cons: constantly will repeat letters over and over. shift key is stuck in. unusable after ~1 month.

Overall Review: if you want a pretty light show, here you go. don't expect to use it as a keyboard.

JUNK*** looked great, but black line dead pixels in < 3 months.

Pros: great response, light good looking, super cheap.

Cons: died quickly support is lacking - no online support on LGs website, I had to call in (what year is this?) and then was given a different website to log into.

Overall Review: maybe i got a dud, but for my money, i'm really not impressed. do not recommend. *** edit - apparently, they want me to ship them the monitor to fix. honestly not worth the hassle - JUNK

do your research - i didn't.

AMD Ryzen 7 2nd Gen - Ryzen 7 2700X Pinnacle Ridge (Zen+) 8-Core 3.7 GHz (4.3 GHz Max Boost) Socket AM4 105W YD270XBGAFBOX Desktop Processor
AMD Ryzen 7 2nd Gen - Ryzen 7 2700X Pinnacle Ridge (Zen+) 8-Core 3.7 GHz (4.3 GHz Max Boost) Socket AM4 105W YD270XBGAFBOX Desktop Processor

Pros: compatibility!

Cons: slower than most other AMD models that cost less cost is WAY too high

Overall Review: i honestly did very little research. i needed an AMD chip, looked at reviews, thing looked ok. looking at the numbers, it should have been better than the lowered numbered ones - right? naw. AMD are kookoo when it comes to naming. im lucky if i can get this thing to run stable at 4000MHz

cheap, easy set up - weak metal, gross RGB, bad airflow

DIYPC S2-BK-RGB Black USB3.0 Steel/ Tempered Glass ATX Mid Tower Gaming Computer Case w/Tempered Glass Panel and Addressable RGB LED Strip
DIYPC S2-BK-RGB Black USB3.0 Steel/ Tempered Glass ATX Mid Tower Gaming Computer Case w/Tempered Glass Panel and Addressable RGB LED Strip

Pros: cheap lightweight pretty roomy

Cons: Easy to bend the thin strips of metal between the card slots once you remove the card slot guards, you are left with a hole - no reusable covers. rgb looks ok from the front, but the back of the front plate is wide open and looks unfinished. no option to control RGB other than built in button. mounting holes are massive- and really easy to stretch. using fan mounting screws on top made the holes unusable as they just fell right through. this thing runs HOT

Overall Review: honestly, if you are running something for your kids to surf and play older games, this'll do for the price. any serious users should just move on.

big, curvy but slow and ghosty

Pros: big nice lines curved

Cons: in any fast games, it ghosts so much that it is unplayable at times. I cannot get it to a point where it's usable for those games and i have actually stopped playing them.

Overall Review: very dissapointed. spent way too much on this replacing a 28" 4k DELL (wanted bigger, didn't need 4k) a lot of regret and sadness here.
