Most Favorable Review

It's pretty good

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black Edition CPU Air Cooler, Silencio FP120 Fan, Anodized Gun-Metal Black, Brushed Nickel Fins, 4 Copper Direct Contact Heat Pipes for AMD Ryzen/Intel LGA1700/1200/1151
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black Edition CPU Air Cooler, Silencio FP120 Fan, Anodized Gun-Metal Black, Brushed Nickel Fins, 4 Copper Direct Contact Heat Pipes for AMD Ryzen/Intel LGA1700/1200/1151

Pros: Keep in mind I have bought 2 of these: - It is basically silent even under max fan speed - It has decent thermals - Easy install on LGA 1700 (Intel 12th Gen)

Cons: - It's thermals aren't as good as others in its price range - AM4 install is one of the most painful things I have ever done

Overall Review: I would say it is nice, but the price needs to go down for it to be worth it. From one tech review after I bought this I saw the Arctic Freezer 34 is a cheaper alternative that performs better, or you get 2 fans for the same price. Overall, not bad.

Not the best, but it is worth the price

ASRock Z690M Phantom Gaming 4 LGA 1700 (14th,13th,12th Gen) Intel Z690 SATA 6Gb/s DDR4 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
ASRock Z690M Phantom Gaming 4 LGA 1700 (14th,13th,12th Gen) Intel Z690 SATA 6Gb/s DDR4 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: - It is the cheapest z690 board - Has ddr4 - Has mild vrm heatsinks

Cons: - Bios is a bit annoying to navigate - Would not be good for high overclocking

Overall Review: This board is probably best if you want to do a mild overclock on a 12600k, but should not push anything to the extremes. I would have given it 4/5, but given the price, I think 5/5 for its price is accurate.

Great Product

EVGA SuperNOVA 650 GA, 80 Plus Gold 650W, Fully Modular, ECO Mode with Dbb Fan, 10 Year Warranty, Compact 150mm Size, Power Supply 220-GA-0650-X1
EVGA SuperNOVA 650 GA, 80 Plus Gold 650W, Fully Modular, ECO Mode with Dbb Fan, 10 Year Warranty, Compact 150mm Size, Power Supply 220-GA-0650-X1

Pros: - Long Warranty - Cheap for being Fully Modular + Gold Rated - Enough Wattage for the average user

Cons: - It is 650W, so this is not enough for top end builds - Only 1 8-pin CPU header - aka don't overclock a 12900k on it

Overall Review: - Unless you're making a top end pc, this will work great.
