Tiny but effective.

Pros: Keeps my i7 7700 Cool. Silent fan, even on high speed. Super low profile.
Cons: The cooler secures to the mother board with screws that come up from the bottom of the motherboard. In my case, that meant I had to remove my motherboard. But in the end it was work the extra cooling.
Overall Review: Upgraded from the stock Intel cooler. What a difference that made. Temps were cut in half. Would definitely recommend these coolers.
Would be great... if it worked.

Pros: It's a great idea. The ability to use laptop ram in a desktop computer.
Cons: Doesn't work! There are four dip switches but it came with no instructions on how to set them. Silk screen on the board, for the dip switches, makes no sense at all.
Overall Review: Would be a great if it worked. But as it is... just a waste of money and TIME.. It took forever to get here. Sent from china without my knowledge.
Card not recognized.

Pros: It had the 19pin internal USB connections and supplemental power. Just what I need.
Cons: I hate leaving a one egg review. But I've tried everything I know to do. Wiggled and jiggled. Unplug and plugged back in. But still get nothing. Windows 11 can see it, but doesn't know what it is. The drivers software says the card is not recognized. Startech has been my brand for a while, but this card is too expensive to have a failure like this. So now I'm in the market for a another USB card.
Overall Review: Why does this have to have something in it.
Mostly works as it should.

Pros: Reads BlueRay disc faster than most drives.
Cons: Can not get it to read UltraHD BlueRay disc. Though that might be the fault of my motherboard. Its boarder-line on whether or not my motherboard is new enough to support UltraHD BR, so do your research.
Overall Review: Do your research before buying.
Works as it should.

Pros: Ordered 2. Had all the power connectors I needed and then some. Several months later both are still working just fine.
Cons: None really.
Overall Review: Would buy again.
Also fits Socket 423!!

Pros: Fits the elusive socket 423 as well as Socket 604.
Cons: Might require some tinkering. Extra washers and such.
Overall Review: If you need a heatsink for your Socket 423 Pentium 4, this will do. Better than using zip-ties through the motherboard.
