Most Favorable Review

As good as it gets

Noctua NH-D15S chromax.black, Premium Dual-Tower CPU Cooler with NF-A15 PWM 140mm Fan (Black)
Noctua NH-D15S chromax.black, Premium Dual-Tower CPU Cooler with NF-A15 PWM 140mm Fan (Black)

Pros: Easily competes with 240mm and most 280mm radiators, but I don't have to worry about pump failures and leaks. Unless you're doing very heavy overclocking, this is bulletproof. The S version fits nicely in my case and over my RAM. Chromax black is cool. Super quiet.

Cons: Not really a con, just common sense. You need a big case with good airflow for this cooler to work. Check the specs before you buy.

Overall Review: All the hype is true. This thing is a cooling beast. Worth every cent.

Great product and excellent customer service

Pros: Easy build. High airflow case for my tower cooler. Very good temps for 11700k and 3060ti. Looks nice!

Cons: Fans became a bit noisy.But Lian Li responded and replaced them extremely quickly. I couldn't be happier.

Overall Review: Great service for a great case.

Know what you're getting

Intel Core i7-11700KF - Core i7 11th Gen Rocket Lake 8-Core 3.6 GHz LGA 1200 125W None Integrated Graphics Desktop CPU Processor - BX8070811700KF
Intel Core i7-11700KF - Core i7 11th Gen Rocket Lake 8-Core 3.6 GHz LGA 1200 125W None Integrated Graphics Desktop CPU Processor - BX8070811700KF

Pros: Optimized and lighting fast out of the box. Pay no attention to the "waste of sand" reviews. This processor is almost as good as the 11900k and is much faster that the 10700k. Unlock the power limits on your CPU and you're good. It's a very solid performer that will last years. With the new 12th gen, prices are (generally) going down on 11th gen. Look for a sale.

Cons: No headroom for an overclock. Unless you're rocking a custom loop, you will not get an overclock above 4.8~4.9 all core (and things will get mighty toasty). The benefits from overclocking are not worth the voltage and temps. Remember that this is a binned 11900, so the "K" version of this i7 is really already as fast as it can reasonably be. Even at stock, it runs warm. Make sure you have a good motherboard and cooler. It's rated at 125W, but will quickly go over 200W with power limits on most motherboards.

Overall Review: If you can get this at around $300, it's a great CPU. For productivity and gaming it is more than enough for most users. Left to itself at stock settings, this thing purrs along and cuts through anything I can throw at it. Look for a sale and grab one if you're looking to upgrade on an LGA 1200 board.

Excellent!

EVGA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti FTW ULTRA GAMING Video Card, 08G-P5-3667-KL, 8GB GDDR6, iCX3 Cooling, ARGB LED, LHR
EVGA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti FTW ULTRA GAMING Video Card, 08G-P5-3667-KL, 8GB GDDR6, iCX3 Cooling, ARGB LED, LHR

Pros: Overclocked out of the box. Cool and quiet-- hovers around 70C while gaming. Very powerful. Awesome upgrade from 2060 Super.

Cons: Only available through the shuffle.

Overall Review: Lightning fast. Cool and quiet. I did adjust the fan curve to "stealth" for quiet operation-- this had no noticeable effect on temperatures. Fantastic card.

Great case for airflow

200mm fans pump a ton of air through the case quietly--even at full rpm. Mesh at the top and bottom improve cooling, as well. RGB is nice. The thumb screws for the panels could be better, but the case is well-built and roomy. Great value for the price. Perfect for my air-cooled system.
