Pros: First, the TridentZ RGB Series has some nice looks. Black is a great choice and it goes well with my system and most systems. It's Asus Aura Sync compatible which is great for getting the most out of my RGB components with minimal effort. Second of course, the speed, it's tremendous. A lot of people worry about higher speeds sacrificing latency but with a low latency kit such as this those worries are abated. This really helps the 8700k stretch it's legs.

Cons: Not Really? Check below

Overall Review: Not really a con but it's only QVL for one motherboard the Asus ROG Maximus X Hero which means it won't xmp out of the box and run at 4000mhz. It did run at 3800mhz with XMP however. Although if you're buying RAM This Niche I'm sure you're fine and probably used to tinkering with stuff to get it to work. On the Asus ROG Maximus X Apex I had to set Maximus Tweak (under DRAM Timing Control in Extreme Tweaker in UEFI BIOS) to Mode 2. The Dram Voltage to 1.35 CPU VCCIO Voltage to 1.2 CPU System Agent Voltage to 1.225. Another con but not really con depending on your personal feelings: The box wasn't sealed. The sticker was not attached to the top flap. Not sure if this was from the factory or from this product being previously returned. It works perfectly fine at it's rated speed so it's all good now but it definitely made me uneasy when opening this product. It's simple, it's got the numbers if you got the cash

Pros: Nice noise dampening features. Killer looks. Tempered glass panel is sexy. 3 Silent wings 3 Fans included! Fan and radiator mounting solutions are endless. Stands above the floor and pulls air from the sides not from the bottom of the case! TWO free LED strips. Old Streetlamp yellow is my favorite color. Free fan controller! 4 PWM fan headers with 3 taken up by the case fans leaving 1 available and 4 non-pwm fan headers if you have silent fans you can run at max speed 24/7. Qi charger. Works perfect with my Galaxy S7 even with a Dbrand skin on it (no case though). Each hard drive cage doubles as a double SSD cage for basically like 15 ssd mounting points. If you don't have a Optical bay drive you can mount another fan in the front. You can move the motherboard tray down if you want to mount FAT radiators at the top of your case. Just 9 screws very easy very simple.

Cons: WHEW, a few (three) of the screws in this thing TIGHT. So many options it might overwhelm you or make you sick if you've got a weak stomach.

Overall Review: Started to strip a little so I just busted out the power drill because I was not having it. (This is not recommended). One was one of the tempered glass panel screws which as screw driver cuts but they are flat and super shallow so not super helpful. Another was the adjustable back plate that you have to move from the bottom of the case to the top when you move the motherboard down to accommodate larger radiators or push pull setups. Had to power drill this one. Also installing the PSU was a bit wonky as it's different than most other cases as it features a pass-through. It mounts to a cage and the cage slides into a set of screws at the bottom of the case. Overall not a huge deal but pretty annoying. Definitely would recommend this case if you want good looks and good cooling.
