Most Favorable Review

Good phone but beware the battery life!

Samsung Galaxy S4 I9500 (Unlocked) 16GB White Frost 3G 5" Super AMOLED I9500
Samsung Galaxy S4 I9500 (Unlocked) 16GB White Frost 3G 5" Super AMOLED I9500

Pros: It's fast and cheap for a S4. It's a bit faster than the GT-I9505 model. Screen is amazingly pretty to look at. It can oversaturate a lot of things but I like it. Camera is great for a phone and flash doubles as a light with a widget, useful. the pattern on the plastic is nice. The shape is nice and it has a very large screen for the overall size. It's fast, faster than most phone I've seen.

Cons: Here's the bad part. The GT-I9500 is a battery hog. I get 3-4 hours of sustained use and maybe 18 hours at idle with an antivirus on. I would recommend the I9505 if it's around the same price. air gestures are alright but aren't really as useful as I would like. Doesn't sit flat without a case as the camera sticks out from the phone. This phone gets warm... It's a pretty good measure of your battery life essentially jumping off a cliff. Bloatware... This phone has a bit but most tie in with the sensors on the phone, not a bad as one through a service provider, but it still, some ore just not useful at all.

Overall Review: I personally like the plastic, it makes this phone light and easy to switch our batteries and micro SD cards. It is overall a good phone so I will give it 5 stars, not too sad I didn't wait for the Galaxy S5 over this.

Great cooler!

Noctua NH-U14S, Premium CPU Cooler with NF-A15 140mm Fan (Brown)
Noctua NH-U14S, Premium CPU Cooler with NF-A15 140mm Fan (Brown)

Pros: It's heavy for it's overall size. Mounting was a breeze and the overall performance is better than my 120mm liquid cooler. 24-32C at idle and 43C at max load with a 4th gen i7. It's quiet as a whisper for it's size, I hear my 200mm fans over this. It clears high profile RAM without overlapping.

Cons: There is only one major one but it is mostly for LGA 1150 motherboards with the top slot being PCIe 1x it does overlap slightly (at least with A maximus VI Hero) where if you use a card ther it will push against it slightly, can be fixed with electrical tape on the soldered points of your card but just a warning. Noctua's site read it was compatible however it touches the card so be forewarned. To my knowledge the NH-U12S doesn't have this issue but it isn't quite as good, still would be good for an i5 or a lower watt chip. Haswell just runs hotter than most chips.

Overall Review: I wish Noctua would make some different colored fans but I guess it's branding. Not too big of an issue for me and their fans are the best so they shouldn't need to be replaced unless you want to lose performance. I wish they would make 200mm fans, I'd kill for a 200mm version of the fan included with this, just a suggestion.

Great card!

EVGA G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 770 DUAL SuperClocked 4GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support Video Card 04G-P4-3774-KR

Pros: These cards are wonderful, I bought one for my first custom build and I was not disappointed for the price. The heatsink works well and it shows by the sheer weight of it. I just bought another for SLI and it nearly doubled the performance on synthetic benchmarks and carried over in games that support SLI. On the whole I love these cards and hope they will continue to serve me well for a while. For the money they are better than a high-end card and 2 in a PCI-e 3.0 x8/x8 will out perform a titan with a good amount of ram. at higher fan speeds it can get a little loud but it isn't crazy compared to some.

Cons: It's heavy, after a few months my first card is ever so slightly bending from the sheer weight of the heatsink I won't take off an egg for that as it isn't an alarming bend but it should be noted.

Overall Review: I'd have killed for some backplates for these to be included but that's ok. I would recommend the 4GB version for SLI setups and don't mix and match the 2GB and 4GB.

Great motherboard!

Pros: It has alot of features and has a well setup bios. On-board audio is decent and a great budget build.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Aesthetic-wise it's a bit ugly but I can get over that. First ASrock motherboard and it might not be the last.

Product was delivered alright but was late.

I had bought a tablet from this seller through newegg and it got here alright however it wasn't even shipped for nearly 2 weeks after purchasing the item. I had paid for 3 day shipping but it took 8 days for them to even hand it of to UPS. The item got here in one piece and the packing was ok but urgency would have been nice. I had bought this with a screen protector and case for a phone from a different seller and they were here on 5-7 day shipping before my tablet left their warehouse.
