Most Favorable Review

Great value for this performance

Intel Core i5-11400F - Core i5 11th Gen Rocket Lake 6-Core 2.6 GHz LGA 1200 65W None Integrated Graphics Desktop CPU Processor - BX8070811400F
Intel Core i5-11400F - Core i5 11th Gen Rocket Lake 6-Core 2.6 GHz LGA 1200 65W None Integrated Graphics Desktop CPU Processor - BX8070811400F

Pros: Can not beat the value for this performance

Cons: Zero

Overall Review: I am not a AMD or Intel "fanboy", as i buy what I can afford. This is my fist Intel system since I bought a old friends P3 Compaq off him years ago. My last system was a Fx-8350 and I payed less for this cpu than my old one 6 years ago, yet it is like a Lamborghini vs a rocket. Cinebench R23 gave my old Cpu a 3274 score and this one a 10048.. Not only did the upgrade make benchmarks far better, but also gaming as my GPU is PCI_E gen 3 and my old system the MB was gen 2. Also the games that were giving my old CPU issues as they were CPU intensive, gives this CPU little work and they play "as smooth as silk" compared to my old setup and I have been able to go from medium to ultra in some games.. As I saw in reviews on this CPU I went with a Z590 MB, so that it keeps the 4.4ghz "boost" constant, unless thermals make it throttle. As I have a AIO watercooler, my idle temps run about 30C and I have not gotten it above 60C when stress testing.

Sound Great BUT...

Logitech G35 USB Connector Circumaural Surround Sound Headset
Logitech G35 USB Connector Circumaural Surround Sound Headset

Pros: Comfortable, Sound is excellent, Mic is clear, some cool features, blocks out sound from external sources better than my old set...

Cons: The breaking issue others have had. I am currently on my 3rd set since December (April now). I was super cautious with the second set after a RMA of the first and they still began showing cracking on the part where the headphones attach to the headband. Not an issue from the store but an issue from the manufacturer... The second issue I have is the volume, due to UK "standards" the volume will is not high enough. The software limits the volume and some things are not as loud as other things so when you need to boost the volume for the quieter you can not due to the software limit. I live in the US so no clue why the software is setup so that it is universal to everywhere, just not limited to the UK owners.

Overall Review: I did not order from Newegg as I found them on sale at less than here so I went with the cheaper store. That makes no difference on the quality issue though, as it is Logitech not the place purchased. If it were not for that I would give them 5 eggs even though the limit on volume is sometimes annoying. Due to the fact this is my 3rd set and these set for a month after receiving them (debating on just selling them to some one else) , I give them 1 egg as durability is poor. I did manage to find a place i can order "aftermarket" parts made of a different material so if these begin showing damage I will send them back but also order the parts from there and void my warranty.

Not impressed

GLOTRENDS M.2 Heatsink for 2280 M.2 SSD, Fit for PC/PS5/PS5 Slim Installation, 22x70x6mm Aluminum Body, Including Thermal Pad

Pros: Looks nicer than a green m.2 I got to put it on

Cons: Screws strip before tight enough to grip sides to hold on ssd

Overall Review: Should have ordered another like I have in this pc or one of the clip on ones, the computer it is in will be light use so at least it will look better on a black motherboard.

Worked fine for a while

Thermaltake TOUGHLIQUID 360 ARGB Motherboard Sync Edition AMD/Intel LGA1200 Ready All-in-One Liquid Cooling System 360mm High Efficiency Radiator CPU Cooler CL-W321-PL12BL-A LGA 1700 Compatible

Pros: Quiet and kept my CPU idle around 25C

Cons: After a few months the pump started having an intermittent buzz/hum and after slowing the pump down, it went away but came back a few months later and in the RMA process with TT right now

Overall Review: TT has a 3 year warranty so that is a positive.

Works

Pros: Fast and lots of space

Cons: Runs really hot

Overall Review: Overall it works for my external backup drive and that is all I need it to do.

It works

Pros: Quiet and it works. Not too much difference in temps from my AIO that I am in the process of RMA of.

Overall Review: Idle it runs about 8C (34c vs 26C) above my former AIO water cooler and at 100% load only about 5C more (65C vs 60C), so a good alternative. Now I do not have to worry about the power going out in the winter and the AIO freezing up anymore, so that is a worry gone...
