Pros: Amazing price, great over-clocker, fast and capable, stable, same socket as the more powerful Ryzen chips, with 3.7GHz overclock it seems to be faster at most tasks than my FX-8350 at stock clock, and uses like 2/3rds the electrons.

Cons: Quad-core with no hyperthreading (or whatever AMD calls it) which may hinder it in content creation situations

Overall Review: I bought this chip to pair with my MSI M7 ACK motherboard. The intent was to run this chip for a year or so and then pick up a Ryzen 7 chip, but after using the chip for a while I have no reason to even trade it out for a Ryzen 5! After reading a bit about its overclock potential I overclocked it to 3.7 GHz on the stock voltage, cooled with an EVO 212, and it's extremely snappy and fully stable. I use my computer for MS Office applications, web surfing, some video editing in Adobe Premier, and a bit of gaming (X-Com, X-Com2, Mutant Year Zero...I like strategy games). Paired with my GTX 1070 FTW graphics card I can play any of these games on max settings without a problem and video rendering is plenty quick enough for me as a non-professional. If the release of AMD's next socket drops prices on AM4 chips I'll probably consider finally getting that Ryzen 7 for the sake of future-proofing, but this little powerhouse does all I need and more! Well done AMD...slow-clap.

Pros: Good looking case, lots of fan locations (many 140mm's which I always prefer), pretty nice to build in, good quality feel

Cons: VERTICAL GPU ONLY!!! Can we please work past this fad please? I know GPUs are cool looking anymore, but we shouldn't be mounting them in a way that hinders their performance. Keep your eyes on your game, not on your rig. Once the GPU is mounted vertically, there's only space for half-height PCIE cards behind it. This had me scrambling because I was looking to put additional USB's in using the PCIE slots, and they were full-height cards. The "cold floor" design is kind of dumb. Just leave it open so the floor fans aren't restricted. I've never minded seeing fans in a case. Don't hide them, especially with most fans being LED at this point. They're meant to be seen.

Overall Review: A good friend of mine contracted me to build him a high end VR computer. He selected the case, and I outfitted the rest. If I'd known more about this case prior to building in it, I'd have dissuaded him from picking it. I will concede, it's a great looking case, but the GPU mounting and cold floor are extreme sacrifices that do effect performance. The 4090 I selected for this case fits, on paper, but you can barely slide that piece of paper between the face of the card and the front case wall. No lie, there's barely 2mm between the GPU fans and the case wall. I had no intention of mounting the GPU vertically, until I realized that was actually the only option. Once I had the computer assembled, I ran back-to-back Heaven benchmarks with the case wall on and off. The GPU temps dropped a staggering 10 degrees with the case wall off, and that temp difference had a substantial impact on the Heaven score. I can't remember the exact numbers, but I recommended to him that he remove the case wall while gaming. Thankfully, he eventually found someone on a 3rd party sales site that made a plexiglass front wall for this case that includes vent holes in the location of the GPU fans. Barring that, this design is a big fail for high end applications unless you're watercooling. Beyond that, the "cold floor" design is completely unnecessary. I want unaltered air flow coming straight out of the floor fans, and directly into my graphics card. It's bad enough the air isn't stuffed directly into the GPU fans due to the vertical mounting, so direct flow is even more important. The fan blades shape and condition the air stream as it leaves the fan, so putting a bunch of restriction directly in front of that air stream is going to be detrimental. My personal computer is a Lian Li 011D XL and in my personal opinion, it's preferrable in every way to this case.

Pros: Fast! Nicely priced, reliable

Cons: None really

Overall Review: I decided to migrate my OS drive from a shockingly old Crucial 2.5 SSD. The old MX had been my trusty go-to for an amazingly high "up-time", and with how inexpensive these drives have become, it seemed like a good idea to make the move before I suffered a failure. The process of cloning the drive was a piece of cake with the SK software. I definitely noticed an improvement in speed with the drive now on the mobo, and my case is cleaner and simplified without the SATA and power cables. Previously I'd been using Solidigm as my go-to, but I'll probably use SK going forward. I don't think you could go wrong with either, but as far as I'm aware, Solidigm doesn't offer a cloning tool. For a new build that's no big deal, but when replacing a still-functioning drive, that's a game changer.

Pros: Fast, reasonably priced, effective and easy-to-use cloning software

Cons: Driver software really didn't have anything else to offer for this drive

Overall Review: I decided to use this drive to replace my 2t SATA SSD that I use as a Steam drive. I picked SK Hynix specifically because they offer cloning software with purchase of the drive, the drive was cheaper than other brands that also offer cloning software, and reviews are solid. SK has been in the memory game for quite some time, even if their entry into the M.2 world is a bit more recent. The cloning process went very well! The software was easy to use, and it worked perfectly. I installed the driver package, and I don't know if it's unique to these P31 Gold drives or just SK drives as a whole, but the driver software didn't really offer any performance boosts or anything as was suggested. Works fine as it is though. My Steam games load noticeably faster than on my 2.5 SSD even though I wasn't expecting much. I mostly did the migration to clean up and simply my case internals. I'd been using mostly Solidigm the last few years, but I may switch to SK based on this experience!

Pros: Taxes in the comfort of my own home! Not overly expensive Relatively intuitive to use You don't need a high-end rig to run this software

Cons: This is the first time I've ever run into this issue after using this software for almost a decade. When I installed the most recent version, it didn't uninstall the previous year. I can't remember ever manually uninstalling a previous year's software. This year when I went to do the software update, the software couldn't connect to the server. I futzed around with it for a bit and then discovered the issue was the previous year's software was still installed. After manually uninstalling last year's software, all was well.

Overall Review: If you run into an issue with not being able to complete a software update (which is mandatory to complete your return), check to see if your previous year's software is still installed. If so, manually uninstall it and try again. Should work fine!

Pros: Comfortable, convenient, good looking, simple

Cons: None. It does light up, and that's not for everyone. If you don't install the software, the default color is red and it makes use of a "breathing" pattern.

Overall Review: I mostly use this mouse for typical computer uses (i.e. not gaming). I do game on my PC, but generally with a game pad. For typical day-to-day experiences, this mouse is fantastic! It took a bit of time to get used to the weight, but now that I have, I can't say I'd go back to a cheap feeling, light-weight unit. All buttons work perfectly, the scroll wheel is comfortable and effective, and the "back" button under the thumb is extremely useful. I didn't bother to install the software with this mouse, because I don't really care if it lights up, what color it is when it does it, what pattern it creates, or even setting up the memory buttons. I'm a pretty basic user, and the fact that the mouse is extremely comfortable, weighted nicely, and fully functional is good enough for 5 eggs.

Product shipped quickly, arrived in "new" condition, and everything works great! Thanks!

The seller fulfilled my order accurately and quickly. I've used the knife a few times now and can say it feels and functions like a quality product! Quite happy!

Got these for about half-price and they're certainly worth that! I mostly use them to play drums since it's more convenient than putting in ear plugs. Also, you can put a set of ear buds in your ears and fit these overtop so you can hear music that you're playing along to. Relatively light, fit snuggly, really reduce volume well!
