Great Product A+

Noctua NH-U12A chromax.black, 120mm Single-Tower CPU Cooler (Black)
Noctua NH-U12A chromax.black, 120mm Single-Tower CPU Cooler (Black)

Overall Review: I had a water-cooled unit that was only 3 years old (Cooler Master) and it was LOUD. My idle temps were 45-50 degrees with that water cooler... I switch to the Noctua and my temps are only 30 degrees now and the unit is unbelievably quiet. So happy I made the switch back to air cooling. I don't overclock and even if I did the air cooler would likely be sufficient. Great product, highly recommend.

Amazing motherboard

Overall Review: I've been using MSI motherboards for my last 3 builds and they do not disappoint. BIOs was easy to update and the motherboard booted up first shot, no issues. I don't do any overclocking so I can't speak to that, but the board looks awesome and everything works. I definitely recommend MSI for anything PC related.

Great CPU

Intel Core Ultra 7 265K - Core Ultra 7 (Series 2) Arrow Lake 20-Core (8P+12E), LGA 1851, 125W Desktop Processor - BX80768265K
Intel Core Ultra 7 265K - Core Ultra 7 (Series 2) Arrow Lake 20-Core (8P+12E), LGA 1851, 125W Desktop Processor - BX80768265K

Pros: - Massive upgrade from my 10th gen Intel i7 10700k - Great Price - Runs efficiently and at low temperature - Runs everything I need with no lag

Cons: - None

Overall Review: Intel's been getting a lot of hate lately but I've used their CPUs for over two decades and never had a problem. I decided to go with the Ultra 7 265k after failing to secure the new AMD chip. I am not overpaying a scalper for that, not happening. I saw that the ultra 7 was on sale for black Friday so I decided to grab one. I paired the Ultra 7 with an MSI MAG Z890 Tomahawk, Samsung 990 EVO PLUS, and 32 gigs of CORSAIR DDR5 RAM 6400. Overall, this set up runs amazing and I am very happy with my purchase.

Great compound

Pros: Great product. Way better than the stuff you normally get with a heatsink purchase. My CPU runs cool with a cooler master air setup.

Cons: None

Awesome Video Card

MSI GeForce GTX 970 GAMING 4G

Pros: I upgraded from a GTX 760. The MSI GTX 970 plays all games on ultra settings, no hiccups yet. MSI makes a great video card, this is my third video card from this company, and I never had any problems with them.

Cons: None, I want to buy another one around Christmas to really future proof myself ;)

Great Mobo

Pros: Seems solid so far, didn't have any problems. Started up right away. I didn't update the bios... left it how it came, not sure if that's good or not? I typically buy ASUS or Intel motherboards, but I know that MSI makes quality products so I decided to give this item a shot, and i'm pleased with how it's working.

Cons: None (yet)

Unbelievably Quiet

I used a water cooler for the last three years, and it was absolute junk. I decided to go back to air cooling because I run my CPU at stock speed and so far I have been very impressed with the results. The installation took about 30 minutes and when I turned on my PC I could not believe how quiet the Noctua was. Very happy with my purchase and highly recommend.
