Excellent so far. A bit large.
Pros: - It keeps overclocked AMD processors cool even under heavy load, Intel chips might not need such a beefy solution. - Looks good and can be customized. - Reasonably quiet given its size. - Very solid construction.
Cons: - It's huge, but you already knew that. - Could be considered pricey for some. - RAM clearance will be an issue for all but the most low profile modules, even after adjusting the fan. Not being able to install some radical looking RAM might be a problem for some.
Overall Review: If you have the room and are planning on going back to go old reliable air cooling, this will outlast your average Corsair/ whatever liquid cooling solution by a decade. Seems a solid product, but seriously, make sure you have the room lol.
T Flight Hotas
Pros: Seems solidly built, plenty of programmable buttons. After owning a Saitek X-52 for the last 3 years( it died, keeps intermittently connecting and disconnecting to my PC) I went for this mainly because I need a HOTAS and dont want to spend upwards of 300 bucks for a good one. That being said, this HOTAS is a good value for the money.
Cons: The stick feels terribly notchy when moving past the first few millimeters of travel. Not sure if this will go away as it breaks in or not. The cord that runs between the stick and throttle sections is much too short. The throttle feels like it was designed for an 8 year olds hands, not an adults. Same with the stick.
Overall Review: If you have the money buy a good HOTAS, NOT A SAITEK one though, mine just quit after only 3 years of medium use and no abuse whatsover. Stick to higher end Thrustmaster or CH products. On the other hand, if you dont have alot of money to spend on a HOTAS then this is probably your best and only option.
3 years of use, still awesome!
Pros: Best fans I have ever owned in terms of build quality, noise, longevity, and they look good too!
Cons: Nothing not to like about these fans.
Overall Review: Perfect fans for the serious builder not concerned with RGB.
Perfect case for air cooling, not so much for liquid.
Pros: Solid build quality, as expected from Fractal Design. Cable management is no problem, and it has dust filters for every opening on the case sans the rear exhaust that doesn't need it. Looks properly cool without being flashy. Great for air cooling.
Cons: Could be a bit small for those wanting more than one AIO radiator or building an open loop cooling solution. If you like to look at the internals of your build make sure you have some LED lighting as the glass panel is a bit dark, but I can confirm that LED lighting is still very easily seen through it. I dropped two eggs from this case since using Fractals own S24 AIO CPU cooler will not work with a Z370 MoBo and TridentZ RAM. The fans or radiator will not fit due to being blocked by the heat spreaders on the RAM. For such popular RAM and common AIO size, this is a major oversight on Fractals part. Front mounting an AIO is no better as you will not be able to fit GTX graphics cards. This case is basically an inch to small in all directions.
Overall Review: I bought this case with the intention of running only air cooling. Then I discovered the air cooling solution I had wasn't going to work with my mother board and RAM so I started researching 240mm AIO's for a top mount config. Nothing will work in this case, at least not with TridentZ RAM and a GTX 1060-1080Ti GPU. If you want to liquid cool in this case be aware of your component dimensions first, it will be a tight fit trust me.
Awesome Quality and Performance!
Pros: These fans are superbly well built, and move plenty of air quietly with the low-speed adapters installed. Sure you could spend more money on some really ugly Noctua's with equal quality and performance, but who wants their build looking awful? If these fans don't work for you, nothing will.
Cons: Absolutely none.
Overall Review: I would recommend these fans to anyone looking for a high quality fan without LED/RGB lighting. Most RGB fans are junk and you are just paying for the fancy lights anyways.
Arrived with a broken wire
Pros: For the price this looks to be a good setup.
Cons: Quality control is seriously lacking here, mine arrived with one of the wires at the molex connector not attached. I could fix it, or I could hold manufacturers responsible for their garbage quality control. And that's what I will do. Sending this back to Newegg, at least their RMA process is easy.
Overall Review: Given there are no reviews and the first one is bad, I can't recommend this to anyone at the moment. We will see if the next one arrives intact and without issue.
DO NOT BUY FROM THESE SCAMMERS!
Wrong item, no shipping info, complete garbage.
Double the price
These cons sold me something at double the normal price, had I known I never would have purchased.
Maybe you get a good deal, maybe you dont.
I purchased an item from these guys and 2 days later it was $40 cheaper... I won't be using them again since how can you trust that you are getting the best deal when they change their prices whenever it suits them?
