In the Shadows
Pros: Very easy to install, follow instructions. RGB, remote control, change colors, dim, bright, and more. Unique and make me and my computer a show off. :-) Awesome bracket (using on FM2+ socket) Reasonable price. Using the remote, I can use from the other side of my living room and show off. The remote has soft covered magnets that you can put your remote onto your case, so you will never lose it. Awesome idea. Gives that show off look.
Cons: None. Can not find any.
Overall Review: Myself over the years, been going through a lot of CPU coolers (struggled) for my AMD A8-6600k processor, just to get my CPU to get lower temps. I feel I am now a CPU cooler guru. Searching for quality, modern, new on market, pricing, I found this one. Installation is easy, following instructions, and with knowledge. Knowing that FM2+ processors get very hot (out of all CPUs brands) when on idle will get 40-45 degrees. Going through air cooler, to air cooler, I will still struggle, and say this is not right. Now get this one, with all the air coolers, this cooler dropped temps down to 25 degrees. That is a -15 drop on idle. Then on load (playing MWO), it maxes out to 40 degrees. My jaw dropped in excitement and surprised. I found the air cooler for this CPU (finally), after all these years cooler after cooler. I am surprised many do not know about this cooler, and been out for about 8 months now? This is what I mean "In the shadows". That I do not see crazy amount of reviews on it and people are unaware of this awesome product. If only I could do reviews, this would be a 5 out of 5 on my video for cooling, mounting, and RGB, but scary about the remote which I find awesome and unique is 5 out 5 stars. :-)
Very Easy to set up.
Pros: - Helps remove clutter desk. - looks clean, organized, - Gives style, and a expression how you keep your desk clean.
Cons: - Notice it bends in center. So, if your monitor has center mass support, you will get that bend in center. I have a tray to help prevent bend. You will notice.
Overall Review: - Depending on monitor stand, can bend over time. You will need to put support in center, like a tray (paper), or dual drawer set.
Awesome
Pros: - Many monitoring profiles for your choosing. - Software (download) easy to use. - Price - Size for more room on desk - Only need one USB/Type-c Cable - Can show weather, temperature
Cons: - Not in stores nearby - Product not well known (little advertising) as monitoring requirement for computer(s) - Does now work with Aida64 (sorta), to make more or your own monitoring profile(s). - Feels fragile, that might possibly break. - I can have this on for hours while using computer, thinking it will burn out screen, or yet not work anymore.
Overall Review: This product surprised me. that I am so happy for this, that I had to repackaged product for future use. Although been out for many years. I finally purchased one. I plan for another as back up, because they do not sell in stores nearby that I have to order online. Need more of these, even in stores. You can download the software and it comes with already made profiles for your comfort. You might be able to make a profile in Aida64 (new to this), but not many show (tutorial) how to with this product. The software does have a feature you can add your background choosing like a photo. Such a awesome product.
Hot CPU
Pros: - No need for USB header. Can save USB header on MB for other uses. - Very easy cable management. - Very easy installation. Do not have to move block (water) to get it right positioning on CPU. All fits nicely. - Perfect temps. Brought down temps from previous CPU cooler.(Have to wait over time it will change. New always have perfect temps.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Delivery was on time, perfect. Yeah, waiting can be a emotional pain, when in need now - Price was okay. - No RGB, only on CPU water block.
Cons: - Right now, the product is new, and does show perfect temps. After a few months have to clean PC from dust build up. To bad their is no tools to help clean product. Even thermal paste needs changing once in awhile. Unless pump is gone, then the whole product is done. - Price dropped the next day after purchase. Waiting a day or two could have saved me a few $$, but customers are never aware of sales drop after purchase. - Thermal paste can be a technical issue as well. Never looked at.
Overall Review: - I use a Amd 5950x and it is a hot CPU (16 core). I never overclock or change settings, just default. It is needed for what I do in my employment, not just fun times like simulators. Just moving the mouse, and watching YT videos makes temps go up, and it is a frustrating problem. Looking at CPU temps is not where the problem can be. It is the CPU package. Me typing this and having a YT video up showing my CPU package at 68 degree Celsius, and Room temp is at 26.7 degree Celsius. No matter what AIO is used, the temps will still be the same, Even very expensive AIO CPU coolers which I find ridicule's will not change. Waiting to see a AIO cooler that is very expensive that helps bring down temps wildly on a hot CPU. * Month later after fixing, adjusting CPU, case cooling. Replaced two top case air fans to PWN. Fixed Youtube (my viewing to disable "Ambient Mode") Couldn't figure out why my PC would escalate above to 90 degrees Celsius, then PC would shut down from watching YT. With fixing, feeling now, this is a awesome CPU cooler for my Asus TUF Gaming GT301 ZAKU II EDITION case. This case is okay, but struggles for cooling, specially a AMD 5950x. It is a fight, nearly done. Looking into paste, to help, maybe change.
Not For 16 Core
Pros: - Very easy install - Yeah, RGB
Cons: - Definently not for Amd 5950x - Turned off PC when cpu hot - Very thin radiator
Overall Review: - I should have known better which CPU cooler to purchase. And should not have been this one for a Ryzen 5950x. It is a struggle finding the best CPU cooler for the AMD Ryzen 5950x and for the right price. I am sure this one does the job for other CPU's. But minus for some CPU's. This is a keeper, for the right CPU's. I was shopping for the AIO for Tuf Computer Case I have, trying to use only Tuf products, and the thought of using 240 upper part of the case, so I can use a 3 fan GPU to fit. Not easy.
Needed
Pros: - Connects fast - Came with mini screw driver
Cons: none
Overall Review: Had a wireless adapter that needed to put on a card for PC. Chatted with technician that I needed this, and the tech made sure I get the right product. Weeks later, I put in adapter onto card, then into PC. Now I get connection, and even Bluetooth. Does awesome.
Rough Week
I would apologize to this company endless amount of times, I have put it through. Problem was tracking. I get tracking numbers but not knowing where it is. I did cancel the order, and then I then next day I changed my mind to continue delivery (was a bad, frustrating week of deliveries (wrong address, chasing, parts missing, wrong item, etc). I find day later at my door when I thought it was still in process of being delivered (Only message I got is "Label created"). Hope the company can understand the frustration, and my apology for confusion (changing mind).I highly recommend company for proper product, and delivery on time, but need to know where product is during delivery. I thought the product was still at sellers. *Note, that customers are not that perfect either.*
Carefull
Ordering online for a video card can be scary. If their was no tracking status, I would be concerned. But I watch every six hours. We do not get the option of going to a store and buying right away, and knowing you have it. But have to buy online. No choice and we have to suffer punishment's if things fail. The company delivered on time. Although the delivery guy delivered to wrong house. I get a phone call, saying my package is here. I had to go pick it up. Nothing to do with seller, but only delivery guy didn't read my address correctly. I highly recommend seller. Shows package tracking status, on time, and exact what I ordered. Thank you.
Was very fast
Was watching the tracking, waiting. Then seen it has arrived before tracking. Just wow!
