Pros: Put it in a MSI K9A2 Platinum and she booted up first time, no problem. Runs smoothly. My benchmarks show that floating-point intensive multithreaded software scales to 4 cores better than Intel Q6700.

Cons: Using AMD Overdrive, I haven't found the right combo of overclock settings to get this puppy past 2380 MHz. Past that and she immediately locks up. No big deal for me, though, as this is more horsepower than I need for my HTPC, anyway.

Overall Review: The AMD Overdrive software is pretty cool. Make sure to find the latest version and play with it. MSI K9A2 Platinum, Scythe Ninja Mini, Corsair DDR2-1066, Corsair HX-520.

Pros: None

Cons: Upgraded from a 1 TB Micron ssd to this 2 TB ADATA ssd. Worked for a month then died. No signs of life whatsoever. Tried multiple times to open an RMA with ADATA but I end up in a endless loop on their website, unable to open an RMA.

Overall Review: Pretty bummed. I'd like to see if ADATA support can chime in here and help me out? I hate throwing money away but it appears that's what has happened.

Pros: I was worried the chipset fan would be noisy, I cannot hear it at all (in a very quiet system). Using a Corsair Force MP600 1TB M.2 ssd (gen 4) I measure 4 GB/s read/write. Amazing. I've tried a Ryzen 3800x and 3950x using this board, both work perfectly. This is the best choice for a no-frills x570 mobo.

Overall Review: This is my 5th MSI mobo in a row, I've been happy with all of them. Keep up the good work MSI.

Pros: I keep coming back to Fractal! I used to be a Silverstone guy (exclusively), but Fractal offers elegance, simplicity, excellent cable routing, and killer airflow options.

Cons: I'm using a EVGA 750 P2 power supply and it just fits. The G3 is a bit smaller so that might be a better choice. Not a big con just an fyi.

Overall Review: For this review, I'm building in the Meshify C Mini. It accepts a Micro ATX mobo and it fits with ease. I'm using an EVGA 750 P2 psu with top draw airflow; this is by design, the case might sit on a carpeted floor, so a bottom draw might be stifled. Fractal cases are easy to build within, are quiet, and offer top-shelf cable management. It's a no brainer.

Pros: Currently running with an Intel i5-9600k with stock settings. Standard benchmarks (prime95, superposition, 3dmark timespy), will push the cpu into the 60's (C). Forgot to mention, also running with a Noctua NF-P12 (120mm) 1700 rpm pwm (intake) with dual 140mm pwm exhaust. Sorry I can't speak to the included fan.

Cons: I've built numerous quiet and no-moving-parts builds over the years. This AIO had the best ratings so I thought I'd give it a shot. Turns out the pump, if you try to hear it, it easily audible. Honestly though, once inside the case and other fans are spinning, it diminishes. Just saying, if you're an extremophile wrt silence, head back to passive/massive heatsinks.

Overall Review: I'm using this in a Fractal Meshify C Mini with Noctua Redux fans all around. I'm experimenting with the ASUS Strix 2060 Super external fan headers, not sure about those yet. Suggest using this cooler with fresh external air for best performance. I've only had this cooler for a few days, but its held up well against a bunch of synthetic benchmarks and gaming sessions. At the moment I'm happy, will update if things change.

Pros: It was a straightforward build. Comes apart and goes together intuitively. Tempered glass on four sides looks amazing. Has a sturdy feel. Easy to clean front filter. Cable management is reasonable. Having a microATX motherboard laying flat is brilliant - compared to conventional cases where the motherboard is vertical and the heatsink is just a big cantilever. Plenty of space for a big heatsink.

Overall Review: I used this case to build my son's first gaming PC. Removed the front 200mm fan, replaced with two 120mm red LED fans. Then added a red led fan for the exhaust and a red led fan on the Hyper 212 EVO heatsink. With other red touches its a sharp looking build. However, it sits in a teenager's room, so I've had to remove the front filter a few times to remove dust. Overall though, both he and I love it.
