SeaSonic G Series SSR-650RM 650W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready

Pros: Works flawlessly so far

Cons: Needs slightly long CPU power cable. Attached CPU power cable was not long enough to run around the back of the case, so I attached the modular cpu power cable which did.

Overall Review: I was having an issue with my Gigabyte G1 1070 and my old PSU, where the screen would go black when the GPU was under load, it would sometimes be fine for hours during gameplay, then the screen would black out but the system would remain running and I could still hear the game sounds or whatever may have been running at the time. When this would happen the fans on the card would usually spin up to max rpm, other times they would not. I drove myself nuts for about 6 weeks trying to figure out what was causing it and I eventually sent the card back to Gigabyte. Gigabyte returned it, stating they could not find anything wrong with the card. Finally I ordered a new power suppply as I heard of other's having the same issue with various other cards and replacing the PSU fixed the issue for them. I had been using an 850 watt Rosewill Xtreme series unit which had worked fine for 4 years with my GTX 670. So I ordered a refurbished Corsair CX750 (i think), got it all setup, put it in the case and tidied up the cables as best I could without first just plugging the PSU into my Mobo and GPU to test it. Powered on the computer, it booted fine. Started a game and as soon as the GPU kicked in, the PSU started making a sizzling sound, not just a little coil whine, it sounded like something was frying inside the unit. Then I started experiencing random power downs. I thought "oh #@!$,". At this point I was ready to give up and just stop PC gaming altogether. But, I got the unit setup for RMA requesting a refund and ordered the Seasonic. Since having the Seasonic unit installed, I haven't had any issues! Not even a buzz from the unit.

Great for the price.

Pros: -Comforatable. -Pounding bass effect. Using Equalizer APO helped with that. -Seem durable. -Detachable mic.

Cons: -Had some minor issues getting it going. Software would install but not launch. Drivers seemed fine though. combined it with https://sourceforge.net/projects/equalizerapo/ and it sounds alright! Found the USB to be too loud even when volume was even at 2 and this utility gives you good control over it. -The option to choose 7.1 only seems to show up using the Windows 8 drivers, only 5.1 it seems with Win 10 drivers.

Overall Review: -If your not looking for high end sound quality, these are alright for gaming! Can't go wrong for the price.

OC'd to 2600 MHz without tweaking!

Pros: Replaced My 4x4 Corsair Vengeance ( http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233236 - Whats up with the price of this set now! Paid $136 2 1/2 years ago, now their $320?!- ) with these 2 8 gig sticks as I had a dead memory bank on my z77 Extreme 4 mobo and could only use 8 gigs of the Corsair. If I had bought this RAM in the beginning my memory bank would probably still be working as these inserted smoothly into the memory slots and snapped into place without effort, unlike the Vengeance which was such a tight fit requiring much force and difficulty to snap into place, which I believe led to damaging one of the memory banks. Was only able to use the the 16 gigs of the Corsair for about 3 months after building my computer in June 2012 before damage occurred. Haven't attempted to tweak or push past 2600 MHz yet, pointless really.

Cons: Large heat spreader rests a bit snug against the 24 pin power connector on the board, but no biggie. Motherboard design is to blame there. Other than that they fit perfect!

Overall Review: Will definitely buy Team again if these sticks hold out!

Nice Stick!!

Pros: It's small and sticky and fast! Here are my test results: Serial Number: 1470209141260063 Model: ADATA USB Flash Drive Vendor: ADATA Product: USB_FLASH_DRIVE Revision: 1100 File system: FAT32 Size: 29596 MB Read speed: 123.90 MB/s Write speed: 57.05 MB/s

Cons: Not the most comfortable fit in my USB port. Feels like I could easily damage something. Does not have a key chain hole, but thats OK, I have a power drill! You can't beat the performance for this price.

Overall Review: I am completely thoughtless at the moment.

Pros: Has really nice gold metal things on it and a really awsome red square doodad. I think thats where the sound comes from. Very high tech. The speakers on my tv sound so much better now!

Cons: It doesnt light up and has really sharp corners.

Overall Review: I'm thinking........... its just really sick looking!
