NZXT KRAKEN G12 - GPU Mounting Kit for Kraken X Series AIO - Enhanced GPU Cooling - AMD and NVIDIA GPU Compatibility - Active Cooling for VRM - Black
NZXT KRAKEN G12 - GPU Mounting Kit for Kraken X Series AIO - Enhanced GPU Cooling - AMD and NVIDIA GPU Compatibility - Active Cooling for VRM - Black

Pros: Clever design is simple and relatively easy to install. Huge reduction in temps on my Founders Edition GTX1080. 30 degrees cooler at 100% GPU use in typical gaming scenario on a 2k monitor, ultra settings. Very quiet. Fan never exceeds 50%. No need for VRAM and VRM heatsinks Reasonable price

Cons: Kit should include provisions to address card sag from the additional weight of the G12 and associated pump hardware.

Overall Review: Highly recommend. A reliable, quiet cooling solution for under $100 using proven components. Two thumbs way up!

Great product and easy install

SAMSUNG SSD 990 PRO 1TB, PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280, Seq. Read Speeds Up-to 7,450MB/s (MZ-V9P1T0B/AM)
SAMSUNG SSD 990 PRO 1TB, PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280, Seq. Read Speeds Up-to 7,450MB/s (MZ-V9P1T0B/AM)

Pros: Samsung reliability Top-notch performance Samsung Magician Software for drive management and maintenance

Cons: None

Overall Review: While I've used other brand SSD and NVME drives in past years, Samsung has proven to be the most reliable and best performing. Ultra high performance of the 990 Pro is great, but reasonable temperatures and a great software interface are equally important to me. With my Asus X570-I Gaming board and AMD 5700X CPU, there is no throttling during intense 1440p gaming or video editing. Newegg shipping was very fast and the price was very competitive. Thank you.

High-end Features and Performance at a Great Price

ASUS ROG Strix B550-F Gaming AMD AM4 Zen 3 Ryzen 5000 & 3rd Gen Ryzen ATX Gaming Motherboard (PCIe 4.0, 2.5Gb LAN, BIOS Flashback, HDMI 2.1, Addressable Gen 2 RGB Header and Aura Sync)
ASUS ROG Strix B550-F Gaming AMD AM4 Zen 3 Ryzen 5000 & 3rd Gen Ryzen ATX Gaming Motherboard (PCIe 4.0, 2.5Gb LAN, BIOS Flashback, HDMI 2.1, Addressable Gen 2 RGB Header and Aura Sync)

Pros: Dual NVMe slots with PCIe 4 on the primary slot Fan Xpert 4 Rocks Lots of fan headers Great BIOS features and BIOS recovery / installation options Latest & Greatest PCIe, USB, LAN, and Sound technology Lots of nifty RGB Lights that can turned off

Cons: None

Overall Review: Having purchased and used multiple Asus boards for over 20 years, I can say that I've never had a failure or problem that couldn't be fixed with an update to software or firmware. Generally speaking, for the same board chipset, performance among different board manufacturers is very similar, near identical . . . so my purchase decisions are based on cost, features, and port selection. I have always returned to Asus for quality products, good driver and utility support, and an easy BIOS to navigate. This board is the best I've purchased so far.

Great performance irrespective of cost

AMD Ryzen 7 3rd Gen - RYZEN 7 3700X Matisse (Zen 2) 8-Core 3.6 GHz (4.4 GHz Max Boost) Socket AM4 65W 100-100000071BOX Desktop Processor

Pros: Powerful Efficient (only 65w) Easy to install Price leader in its segment Very good CPU cooler included Free Game Included (Assassins' Creed Valhalla)

Overall Review: After years of dedication to Intel products, I had become more than frustrated that hardware security issues continue to plague Intel CPU's and will continue to do so into the future. As it turns out, after installing the new AMD 7-3700x processor, I can't tell it's not an Intel part except that performance is much better and I don't have to worry about Spectre or other hardware security flaws. Thank you Newegg for the great deal and AMD for an even greater CPU.

Great image at a bargain price

Perfect Pixel QNIX QX2710 LED Evolution II DPmulti TRUE10 Matte 27" 2560x1440 AH-VA  DVI HDMI Displayport Monitor

Pros: I've bought this from Newegg 6 months ago. Shipping was incredibly fast. Assembly was straight forward and you shouldn't have any issues with stability if you ensure the stand to monitor screws are tight. Picture quality is excellent, and games render at ultra quality with the best monitors I've seen.

Cons: Requires DVI-D connection on your video card. There is some light bleed evident when there is no image on the screen (black screen) but no worse than my name brand 1080P monitors and not noticeable at all when there is content displayed. The monitor frame is relatively large but not obnoxious. I would prefer a more adjustable stand, but this one has worked fine for me.

Overall Review: I read all the reviews on-line before purchasing this from Newegg and I was concerned about the quality of the chassis and stand. The frame around the screen is a little larger than the latest from Samsung and LG, but it's fine. The stand is adequate and does not "wobble around" as some have stated. ( Be sure the stand attachment is flush to the monitor and the screws are tight) I've adjusted it to 95Hz and could have gone higher. All-in-all very happy and recommend it for those looking for an excellent 1440 monitor on a budget.
