Amazing AIO for the Money! Just make sure your case fits 2x140mm fans!

EK 280mm AIO D-RGB All-in-One Liquid CPU Cooler with EK-Vardar High-Performance PMW Fans, Water Cooling Computer Parts, 140mm Fan, Intel 115X/1200/2066, AMD AM4 LGA 1700 Compatible

Pros: It's EK! One of the best watercooling companies out there! It's D-RGB! If you like RGB. Very simple to install cables are wrapped in nylon, and are long enough to mount correctly if you mount vertical (ports on the bottom) I ended up purchasing two of these, to put in 2 meshalicious cases.

Cons: None. These were amazing

Overall Review: I would recommend this product. EK has always taken care of me. I've used corsair in the past, but the EK blocks are really good as well.

Most Critical Review

Great board, slow to receive, Died after 3 hours

ASRock X470 Taichi Ultimate AM4 AMD Ryzen 3000 Series CPU Ready ATX AMD Motherboard
ASRock X470 Taichi Ultimate AM4 AMD Ryzen 3000 Series CPU Ready ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: 10GB ethernet worked great. board has everything and the kitchen sink. A testament to Newegg's professionalism, and customer service. They accepted the return of the board. I did want to get a replacement from them, but they were out of stock. got a refund and purchased a lesser quality board from a different manufacturer.

Cons: Board died on me about 4 hours after plugging it in. Kept reporting code '55' and nothing would fix it. I was disappointing in Asrock support as it took days for them to respond to me telling me to flip the cmos jumper to reset the bios... this board doesn't have a cmos jumper. Overall, the board was okay, ASRock support was really bad, i mean really bad. Their troubleshooting steps had me 'unplug the ide hard drive or optical drive' IDE really?

Overall Review: I would probably purchase this product again through newegg. If something works great, there's no reason to dislike a manufacturer, but that's the problem. Occasionally you get a dud, and the manufacturer is a pain to deal with, takes days to respond and provides incorrect information. I lost time in waiting for ASRock to respond, and nothing will ever really come from my review on here either, which is disappointing as well.

Uh, the Next NCase M1

SSUPD Meshlicious Mini-ITX Small Form Factor (SFF) Case - Full Mesh Side Panel with PCIe 4.0 Riser Cable - Black Color, Tool-Free and Easy Accessibility

Pros: Great case, good ventilation. Excellent layout. It's been good for watercooling (using a 280 AIO from EK) There's plenty of space in here. To free up the most space possible, use a SFX-L power supply, you will not regret it. Corsair's series is top notch.

Cons: Only downside is the GPU is technically facing down, so blower-style GPU's are forcing hot air where it doesn't really want to go.

Overall Review: I recommend this product. It's a great design, good airflow, very easy to build in and small. I didn't feel like i was jamming stuff in there at all.

Very Powerful Smart switch

Pros: Smart switch at a decent price. +2 copper ports than most other competing switches. Supports everything you would expect it to, and it's interface is very fast. Has a lifetime warranty

Cons: No con's here

Overall Review: It's a little bit more expensive than competitors products, but you get +2 nic ports, and cisco's expertise.

Excellent Product

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler, 4 CDC Heatpipes, 120mm PWM Fan, Aluminum Fins for AMD Ryzen/Intel LGA1200/1151
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler, 4 CDC Heatpipes, 120mm PWM Fan, Aluminum Fins for AMD Ryzen/Intel LGA1200/1151

Pros: Big heatsink. Directly touching the heat spreader on the CPU I have, a better design than their previous EVO. I can mount it with air blowing across the motherboard from the front to the back.

Cons: Fan occasionally makes noise, like the bearings are situated incorrectly, or the motor is off. It's a hassle to have it RMA'd just for a 12 dollar fan.

Excellent Product

AMD FX-8150 - FX-Series Zambezi 8-Core 3.6 GHz Socket AM3+ 125W Desktop Processor - FD8150FRGUBOX
AMD FX-8150 - FX-Series Zambezi 8-Core 3.6 GHz Socket AM3+ 125W Desktop Processor - FD8150FRGUBOX

Pros: Not a bad processor. I'm using it for a Hyper-V Server, and as long as you have many threads (or many threaded apps) running, it keeps the processor busy

Cons: I paid more than MSRP for this thing. Other sites had it at the msrp.

Overall Review: I think it's working out great. AMD just need to get their GPU in a position that it performs FP for everything, and we have a winner.
