Blackened Noctua fans

Noctua NF-A15 HS-PWM chromax.black.swap, Premium Quiet Fan, 4-Pin (140mm, Black)

Pros: It's a Noctua NF-A15, powerful, quiet and durable It's a BLACK NF-A15

Cons: None

Overall Review: Turned my Noctua NH-D15 into a blacked-out NH-D15 with the help of the chromax heatsink covers.

Most Critical Review

Silent fan, dim LEDs

XIGMATEK FCB (Fluid Circulative Bearing) LED Fan Crystal series CLF-F2005 200mm Purple LED Case Fan Molex Adapter/extender included
XIGMATEK FCB (Fluid Circulative Bearing) LED Fan Crystal series CLF-F2005 200mm Purple LED Case Fan Molex Adapter/extender included

Pros: Silent and moves enough air, rare purple LEDs.

Cons: The purple LEDs on the fan I purchased where really dim, even in the dark.

Overall Review: I swapped this one out with the white LED version that XIGMATEK makes and wow what a difference. The white LED version is really bright in comparison.

Replaced my big air cooler on an overclocked 8700K

Alphacool Eisbaer 360 AIO CPU Cooler - Black (11286)
Alphacool Eisbaer 360 AIO CPU Cooler - Black (11286)

Pros: - Cooling performance exceeds my expectations. - All copper system. - Expandable with standard components. - Quiet pump. - Looks beautiful in a windowed case, the tubes have an almost H.R. Giger like aesthetic. - The red and blue bands on the tubes look subtle in person and can be removed easily.

Cons: - The three to one (3-way) PWM fan splitter that was included in the box fell apart during installation causing one of the three fans to stop working. I had a few spare 3-way PWM fan splitters to replace it. - The adhesive strips on the back of the cooler bracket were not sticky enough to hold the bracket to the motherboard for installation. This made mounting the pump to the motherboard tricky. Those two small adhesive strips can be replaced easily.

Overall Review: After a tricky yet fairly simple installation this is by far the highest performing CPU cooler that I have ever owned. I did NOT use the fans that were included. I used be quiet! SILENT WINGS 3 120mm PWM high-speed fans (BL070) instead.

I never thought my PC could sound this good

Kanto YU6 Powered Bookshelf Speakers with Built-In Bluetooth - Pair (Matte Black)

Pros: Incredible sound. No receiver required. Bass and treble adjustment. Sub out. Beautiful. Remote control. Many input options. So versatile I could use them as a shelf system or even as a soundbar replacement if I wanted to. Power saving mode. Powerful room filling sound if you want it. Sounds just as good at low volumes.

Cons: The volume control, bass and treble controls to not have any level indicators. No numbers or even dots to represent what you set it at. This forces my to trust my ears, perhaps that is the point.

Overall Review: I'm a gamer and PC builder not an audiophile. I don't own a turntable yet. I did pair these with a sub for a 2.1 setup. The power saving mode is audible but very quiet. I do not detect any humming from the amp. If you use the 3.5mm input, make sure it is thick enough to shield EMI/RFI interference. I originally used a standard thin 3.5 mm cable and it picked up allot of interference. I swapped it out with a thick 22AWG 3.5 mm cable and the interference is gone. I had a Z906 setup already that is great for movies and gaming but it's not that great for music. I actually spend time listening to music on my PC now because of these. Seriously, they sound that good. They are my primary PC desktop speakers now and also sound fantastic playing games (that don't require a headset of course).

Perfect size

Glorious Extended Gaming Mouse Mat / Pad - XXL Large, Wide (Long) Black Mousepad, Stitched Edges | 36"x11"x0.12" (G-E)

Pros: The exact size mouse pad (mouse mat) that I needed. Comfortable. Does not move around at all.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: I use an Ikea countertop for a desk and it is 25 5/8 inches deep. This mouse mat provides more than enough coverage for the mouse and keyboard without extending to the monitor stand.
