Most Favorable Review

Just what I was looking for!

G.SKILL Flare 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 1800 (PC3 14400) Desktop Memory Model F3-14400CL9D-4GBFLS
G.SKILL Flare 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 1800 (PC3 14400) Desktop Memory Model F3-14400CL9D-4GBFLS

Pros: Blue LED fans match my system lighting and keeps the ram so cool to the touch. Works perfectly on my ASUS board M4N98TD evo.

Cons: Not sold w/o the fan. I would like 2 more sticks of this memory and maybe save $10 by not getting the fan. Really this isn't such a con that an egg is taken away. When I decide to get 2 more sticks I'll just have an extra fan to have in case something happens to the first. W/ the price of this ram it's well worth it!

Overall Review: may need to bend the flexible metal on the fan stand/connection to make sure it clips snugly. Don't worry the metal is flexible you wont break anything.

just blew

APEVIA ATX-AQ700W-BK 700 W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Power Supply
APEVIA ATX-AQ700W-BK 700 W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Power Supply

Pros: Worked well, light was nice everything seemed to be great.

Cons: Only lasted a few months over a year. This isn't really acceptable.

Overall Review: I bought this PSU last fall and everything was fine till tonight. While playing a game I heard a loud pop. Opened up the pc since it wasnt getting any power to find a horrible smell from the PSU.

Tuniq TX-4 Extreme Performance and Exceptional Reliability Thermal Compound

Pros: honestly none.

Cons: CPU temp stayed the same as with stock grease sometimes even 1-2 degrees higher! Was hard as hell to spread on, First try with included spreader rolled right into itself had a ball of it on the CPU and there was no going back. Second try used an old credit card managed to get most of it covered then when trying to even it out it all pulled off onto the credit card, again no going back. third try pea sized dab in the midldle of the CPU and let the heatsink do the work. After 2 weeks of the same temps as with this stock grease i decided to pull it off to see how it spread. While taking off the heatsink it ripped the card right out of the locked cpu slot. Had to pry it off with a knife. On a side note it was spread evenly on the cpu which kinda bums me out even more because that just means IT DIDNT WORK! I'll never buy again, I'll try arctic silver next time.

Overall Review: Just do a pea sized dab in the middle of the CPU and let your heat sink do the work, There's no spreading this stuff. That's if you already went ahead and bought it. If you didn't buy it yet... dont, move on.

COOLER MASTER RC-692-KKN2 CM690 II Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
COOLER MASTER RC-692-KKN2 CM690 II Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Comes with 3 fans, Has room many more fans I added 5 more. Nice amount of room to move your hands around in when installing and decent space behind motherboard for cord management.

Cons: Haven't found any yet.

Overall Review: Remember when buying a fan to sit in the cord management area you need an 80 x 80 x 15 sized fan not a normal 80 x 80 x 25 the area is slim and wont fit a larger fan behind the case siding.

Only 690! (Not II Advanced)

COOLER MASTER RA-690-KWN2-GP CM 690 clear side panel with one 120 mm blue LED fan
COOLER MASTER RA-690-KWN2-GP CM 690 clear side panel with one 120 mm blue LED fan

Pros: It's exactly what it says it is A side w/ a partial clear side.

Cons: Be warned it is not for the 690 II Advanced. A little more description would be nice (or maybe I missed the information, it's possible) wish where the fan is located was actually plexi also.

Overall Review: If you have the 690 II Advanced the side you are looking for model number is RA-692-KWN1 This case has 4 hooks to connect to the 690 case the 690 II advanced case only has 3 slot holes.
