Pros: This is replacing i7-3770S...and d### it, I hate to say it but this is light years ahead and better. That i7-3770S had put such a warm and loving place in my heart, I hate to see it go, but I needed Windows 11 and more performance....It was just that moment we hate to upgrade something that has been so dependable and never missed the job at hand, ...for over 10 years... but this little i3-12100 is just light years ahead of legacy technology and it's the passing of the torch.

Cons: What am I supposed to do with my poor i7-3770S CPU and mobo now?? 10 years strong...never missed a beat... Bitter Sweet moment....

Overall Review: This is my little rig now: CASE: Silverstone GB-07C CPU: i3-2100 (provided cooler is good enough) PSU: Apevia 800W GPU: XFX RX 6700 XT RAM: 16G 3200 (Team Force) Mobo: ASUS PRIME B660M-A D4 Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge.... We will all miss you and we salute you.... You changed the game and direction of the CPU's forever. You set the standard that lasted a decade for most of us. Thank you

Pros: This thing is huge; I don't think people really know how big this thing really is until you take it out of the box and set it on your desk. The size is perfect. Along mine had dead pixels (really annoying I must say) the response time was amazing. It was blazing. It blew my Viewsonic away in the gaming department. That stand for this monitor is great; both height and tilt. You can even turn the monitor about 70 degrees or so.

Cons: Out of the box: WAY TOO BRIGHT. make sure you turn down the contrast and brightness; otherwise you'll be blind in a month. Mine also had dead pixels; that's a "No-GO" for spending almost $700.

Overall Review: Do some research on this monitor on other sites before you buy it; you'll see a trend of "Dead Pixels". If you can get your hands on one of these and it doesn't have any issues with the screen then BUY IT and HOLD ON IT FOR LIFE. Otherwise, you're just wasting your money and will have to go through the whole RMA/ Exchange madness. Totally not fun. My best suggestion is that you go to a local store (save yourself some time and shipping costs) and buy one there. When you do, pull it out of the box right there at the store, hook it up, and test it. If you have one that has dead pixels..exchange it for another...then test....etc...etc.

Pros: Benchmarks are great. File transfers are great. I'm capped out at PCIe 3.0 speeds though; because my main (OS) NVME is an older PCIe 3.0 standard. So you can't mix & match PCIe3.0 and PCIe4.0 NVME's; hoping you're going to get those 6500-7500 mbps performance... You will be stuck in the 3,000 mbps range. I didn't know this! This was a lesson learned for me.

Cons: NONE, just make sure all your NVME are PCIe 4.0 standard! I will be upgrading my main NVME (OS) to another TeamGroup NVME 4.0 in near future.

Overall Review: So take the benchmark I provided and double the numbers them if you have PCIe 4.0. PCIe3.0 vis PCIe4.0 is exactly double the specs. Great job, TeamGroup! You guys are killing it right now.

Pros: I did USB 3 testing and then USB-C testing and got incredible benchmark results. Those USB 3 benchmarks are almost in competition with 2.5 SSD's. But what about when you transfer a 500G folder and files? What speeds in the real world are we going to experience? Well, take a look at the pictures to see for yourself. For the fist 5-10 gigs of data, I was cruising at @ 680 mbps (which is insane), and then something happened....

Cons: HEAT is what happened! The flash drive controller is internally slowing down the speed due to prevent from overheating and damaging the USB drive. This is from web: "excessive heat can significantly slow down a USB flash drive as the internal controller within the drive will often "throttle" the transfer speeds to prevent overheating and potential damage, resulting in slower performance when the drive gets too hot; essentially, the drive will intentionally slow down to cool itself off.". So this is an amazing USB flash drive; having both USB 3 and USB-C is incredible options to have! I wish they would have took a little more time on the casing of the flash drive though. Surely, there is a better cooling solution than plastic casing.

Overall Review: Overall; I would give this 90/100. A 4-star rating is like a 80% rating, so we will go with 5-star on this review. If they can solve or implement a cooling solution for the excessive heat caused by large data transfers, they will have a perfect product on their hands.. This one is very close to be being there. Great job, TeamGroup! You guys are killing it right now.

Pros: First and foremost; I'm not affiliated with Cooler Master, I'm not writing this for any kind of rebate program, but merely a PC enthusiast that wants to give this product the rightfully positive review it desires. This cooler is the bomb! After discovering the CoolerMaster "MasterCTRL" software, I can upload images (.png .jpeg) and EVEN GIF's! This is incredible!

Cons: If I use the AMD Ryzen Master software, park CC1, and run my AMD 5950X in 'game mode' (8 cores overclocked), I can gain FPS and keep temps low, but if I enable "Creator Mode" (16 cores) and have a lot of stuff going or even game, I do see temps reaching 65-70. I'm really pushing the limits of this cooler, the fans spin up and can get pretty loud when they are in "performance mode". What I'm trying to say here is if you push your machine, you are going to hear the fan on the radiator starting more noise. They can get loud in certain scenarios. It doesn't bother me when they kick up a notch but some enthusiasts might find this annoying. They kick in and when they bring the temps down, they go back to normal operation and are moderately quiet.

Pros: No issues on this portable monitor. I haven't done a lot of testing, but right out of the box, hooked up to my windows 11 laptop via USB-C and then added the supplied/additional USB-C cable and the screen actually looks better than my HP laptop. I got this on a refurbish deal and for $75 bucks....what a steal! Going forward I trust this brand and will probably pick up more new.

Cons: None so far; of course the hassle of plugging in 2 USB-C cables into the monitor; but it's no big deal.

Overall Review: Recommend for hybrid workers like myself, where you have to go into the office here and there and need more screen space. I like that this can be cabled to anything that is HDMI, mini-HDMI, and USB-C. Lots of other options that I can use this portable monitor for. Good buy!
