Most Favorable Review

Arrived quickly, works well, recommended

Pros: Sockets oriented so width of items plugged in is not a factor Fast shipping Has nice blue light

Cons: Cable is short (about 8"/200mm), but I knew that before purchase from the pictures and reviews.

Overall Review: This is the second WAVLINK product I have purchased from Newegg. The other is the single bay external HD dock. Both are excellent. I recommend WAVLINK products. I also have a WD external drive with a short cable. I spent less than $2 for two USB 3.0 extension cables - problem solved.

Most Critical Review

Graphics Look Good, Audio is Horrible

GIGABYTE WINDFORCE GeForce RTX 5060 8GB GDDR7 PCI Express 5.0 ATX Graphics Card GV-N5060WF2OC-8GD
GIGABYTE WINDFORCE GeForce RTX 5060 8GB GDDR7 PCI Express 5.0 ATX Graphics Card GV-N5060WF2OC-8GD

Pros: The graphics look very good. I played a little bit of Portal with ray tracing, very nice.

Cons: The audio is really bad. Distortion comes and goes. I tried everything I could and it stayed the same. It seems to be a problem with NVIDIA's drivers, but no fix is available, yet.

Overall Review: I just built a new PC and wanted to get the latest graphics card, so I bought the Gigabyte 5060. If you don't care about sound at all, this is a good deal. I am returning it and going back to my old GTX 1060. I may buy the 5060, again, if the audio drivers are fixed. If nothing happens soon, I may go with AMD.

Cons: Missed the sale by a few days, cost me $10 extra for each one.

Overall Review: Recommended I put 2 of these in my new computer. This is my first fully SSD system, very quiet. New System: CPU: i5-14400 SSD: 2 x Samsung 990 EVO Plus 2TB (1 is used as a backup for the other) GPU: EVGA GTX 1060 (I bought a Gigabyte RTX 5060, but returned it, see review) RAM: 48GB G. Skill, DDR4 (I know, I should have moved to DDR5) MB: Gigabyte Z790 S WIFI DDR4 PS: Corsair CX650 AIO: Cooler Master, Master Liquid PL240

Works Great, Easy to Install

Cons: It's not modular, but I knew that when I bought it.

Interesting Case

Cooler Master QUBE 500 Flatpack Black Small High Airflow Mid-Tower ATX Customizable Gaming PC Case, Tempered Glass, Vertical GPU Mount, USB-C, Carrying Handle, Gem Mini (Q500-KGNN-S00)

Pros: It looks good and has a lot of air flow.

Overall Review: I recommend this case. It is more complicated to assemble than most cases, but the directions are clear enough. There are several options for assembly to create custom/unusual configurations. I installed a 240 AIO cooler. A 360 would be hard to fit. There is an assembly option for a 360, but I think air flow for the cooler would be compromised. Long graphics cards may be impossible to install due to the power supply location. Almost any 2 fan card will fit, but if you are using a 3 fan card, check the dimensions.

Pros: Looks good. It's quiet, so far. CPU temps are excellent.

Cons: Minor complaint: Setup was more complicated than I anticipated (there are a lot of fan/RGB connections). Some of that is because of my case (Cooler Master Qube). Minor complaint: It uses a USB 2.0 connector on the MB for LED power. This may be common, but it is the first time I have seen it.

Overall Review: I would recommend it to anyone who has building experience.
