VIBRATION NOW WORKS

Xbox One Wireless Adapter for Windows
Xbox One Wireless Adapter for Windows

Pros: -Works Wirelessly -Vibration Works

Cons: -Audio MIGHT not work

Overall Review: How to get your vibration working: "Notes: Rumble -does- work. UPDATE YOUR DRIVER!!! For those complaining about rumbling not working, it is likely an outdated driver for the receiver. The default driver for it included in Win10 will be dated 8/24 in device manager, and it will take its dear sweet time to auto-update to the newest. So when you plug in your receiver, go to Device Manager, find it under "network adapters", and let it search Windows Update for a new driver. It will pull a new driver dated 10/17." I wrote a previous review (1 Egg) and this is an update. My main issue was the lack of vibration, but the updated drivers fixed this.

STARTED ON FIRE -- BEWARE OF ANTEC

Antec P280 Black Aluminum / Steel Super Mid Tower Computer Case
Antec P280 Black Aluminum / Steel Super Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: None

Cons: - I had this case for little under one (1) year, and the USB 2.0 cables that were attached to the front hub turned on fire! Thank G*d (Apparently this word can't be said here? LOL) I was at home right in front of it, and that I wasn't sleep or away from home! - Antec rep Peter Teo attempted to resolve this issue by sending me THREE (3) additional usb hubs in the mail. In other words, when these inevitably turn on fire I can replace them again, yay! Well, that's as long as myself or others don't die in a house fire, that is a very reasonable solution! I wrote him weeks ago and asked him if these were of the same quality that was originally made for this case, and he never even responded! Which brings me to: - Terrible customer service - Terrible warranty policy

Overall Review: If you want a computer case that will turn on fire in under a year, and potentially kill you and your family in a house fire - shop Antec! Don't worry, if you make it out alive they will be sure to send you a couple USB hubs of shady quality for your troubles.

Combination of temps and dbA in this are 2nd to none in this class.

be quiet! BK009 PURE ROCK CPU Cooler - 150W TDP

Pros: - Combination of temps and dbA in this are 2nd to none in this class. - *Great* temps (Even better than expected) - Whisper silent - Nice aesthetics

Cons: - Atrocious Fan Installation Instructions (Negligible).

Overall Review: Temps at idle: Down 50%+ Temps at full load: -25C + Steadiness Keeping temps down is good, but what was equally important for me was silence. I can't even hear this thing. My case is open and I need to listen hard to hear it on max speeds. Pure Rock vs. 212 evo benchmarks show this is SLIGHTLY worse than the 212 at managing temps. However, there were NO benchmarks comparing their noise levels - which clearly swings in PR's favor by a SIGNIFICANT margin. This thing eats the 212 evo alive when we're talking "total package" - performance (Temps AS WELL as noise) to price ratio. My only quarrel with this product was the absolute terrible instructions on how to hook the fan up to the heatsink. I advise future buyers to find a YouTube installation tutorial for BeQuite!'s "Dark Rock." It's the same fan and brackets. McDohl
