Believe It...

GELID Solutions GC-Extreme Thermal Compound
GELID Solutions GC-Extreme Thermal Compound

Pros: I saw the claims and I couldn't believe it. I have been a dyed-in-the-wool AS-5 user since... well, for a long time. I read the Benchmark Reviews 80-way TIM shoot-out and I thought I'd give it a try, anyway. I was expecting 2 or 3 degrees C from AS-5. THIRTEEN DEGREES better than AS-5. No s---. I bought this TIM for a new i7 project, but thought I would try it out on a known system. So, I used Arctic Cleaner to remove AS-5 I had applied in April/May. It was fully cured and the HSF was fully seated with even pressure - "i"s dotted. "t"s crossed. Full load stable temperature - 59C. Ok, nothing to worry about. First Load Test with GC-Ex: 42C. WHAT?!!??! I loaded up multiple instances of Orthos, Prime95, CPUBurnIn, 3DMark06... 42 degrees. Even if there was a variance in room temperature... What? 4-5 degrees C. That's still the same 12-13 degrees C claimed on the package. That's just AMAZING.

Cons: It's not as thin as I was lead to believe, either. It's closer to AS-5 than not.

Overall Review: The spreader is perfunctory if you're used to the AS-5 "grain of rice" and pressure method.

Does not live up to the hype (Yes, you get what you pay for).

5G WiFi Bluetooth Projector, Artlii Energon 2 Outdoor Projector Support 4K, 340 ANSI Lumen 300" Display, Keystone&Zoom, Full HD Native 1080P Projector Compatible w/ TV Stick, iOS, Android, PS5
5G WiFi Bluetooth Projector, Artlii Energon 2 Outdoor Projector Support 4K, 340 ANSI Lumen 300" Display, Keystone&Zoom, Full HD Native 1080P Projector Compatible w/ TV Stick, iOS, Android, PS5

Pros: - The speaker is fairly loud and clear

Cons: - Lens was scratched out of the box - Image was blurry at even moderate distanced (approx. 2m to screen) - Bluetooth and Miracast would not connect

Overall Review: - A comparable name-brand projector is 3x the cost. For a reason. - Although it displayed a 1920x1080 desktop, it was so muddy, I find it hard to believe it is really the native resolution.

Good Stable PSU; under 3% VDC Deviation

SilverStone Strider Platinum series SST-ST1000-PT 1000 W ATX12V / EPS12V 80 PLUS PLATINUM Certified Active PFC Power Supply
SilverStone Strider Platinum series SST-ST1000-PT 1000 W ATX12V / EPS12V 80 PLUS PLATINUM Certified Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: * Standard Size * Good Output - Single Rail 12V

Cons: * Flat cables not as much of a space-saver as I had hoped * PCIe cables are single 6+2; need four (4) for SLI * Fan spins up to 100% at random intervals without any real change in DC load

Overall Review: I have been completely snakebit on PSUs in the last year or so. I have had four (4) EVGA 1000-P2 units fail (UVP cutouts on 3.3V rail @ < 2.8VDC), so I am hoping this Silverstone unit will do the trick.

FRAUD ALERT!

This seller defrauded me. The item delivered was a *used* 7" CCFL, not a 15" Kit (with inverter and switch). No packaging. Nothing. What a joke.
