Most Favorable Review

Awesome

HyperX 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model KHX1600C9D3X1K2/8GX
HyperX 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model KHX1600C9D3X1K2/8GX

Pros: CHEAP. I bought 2 sets making 16GB total, as of about 5 months ago that amount of ram was roughly double this price!

Cons: None yet, if 1 of them dies then I will revise this.

Overall Review: Most bang for your buck, best name brand, and of course the ever so awesome warranty.

Most Critical Review

Was good while it worked....

CORSAIR Voyager 16GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive Model CMFVY3S-16GB
CORSAIR Voyager 16GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive Model CMFVY3S-16GB

Pros: The flash drive has a lot of space, and worked great!

Cons: It died within 2 months, no computer will recognize it and it refuses to light up, like it did while it was working.

Overall Review: I would RMA it for a new one, but I think the price of shipping it to them would be almost the same price as just buying a new one.

Good stuff

ASUS Zenfone 2 Unlocked Smart phone, 5.5" Black, 32GB Storage 4GB RAM, US Warranty
ASUS Zenfone 2 Unlocked Smart phone, 5.5" Black, 32GB Storage 4GB RAM, US Warranty

Pros: Easy to use large phone(only slightly smaller than my htc one max) Comes loaded with some bloatware, but it can be uninstalled! Preloaded with android 5.0.1(can load Android 6.0, but see cons) Fast and snappy as hell! Charges Very quickly.

Cons: No OTA update to android 6.0, must download from asus website and place it on internal storage manually. (not an issue for me, but some would find it difficult to do). Battery life is a little on the lower side if used heavily. Need to have a battery bank handy. Light use will get you through a day just fine.

Overall Review: I would infact recommend this to anyone looking for the most bang for your buck, much like AMD vs intel in desktop CPUs. Here intel is the underdog in mobile CPUs and gave us something along with ASUS that stands up to even the newest samsung phones in terms of performance.

Worth it! So far.

Thermaltake NiC C5 (CLP0608) 120mm Untouchable CPU Cooler
Thermaltake NiC C5 (CLP0608) 120mm Untouchable CPU Cooler

Pros: This thing is a beast it lowered my CPU temps by 10 degrees right off the bat, and even at full load it does not let the CPU get higher then 42C(106F), plus it clears the memory DIMMs as advertised, although it will be a close fit and the ram will almost be touching the fan(on an AMD board)

Cons: The installation was easy and straight forward however the final build doesn't seem very sturdy, it can still wiggle around a tiny bit on the cpu, but if I tighten it down anymore then it will break the board(worst case) or it will just pop the bolts off the brackets holding everything to the board, thus having to attempt the entire process again.

Overall Review: Specs: Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64-bit AMD Phenom II X4 970 OCed to 4.0GHz 16GBs DDR3 1600 GSkill RipJaws Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD7 Rev 3.0 EVGA GeForce GTX 660TI SC 2GB Rosewill Lightning 1000W PSU Creative Sound Blaster Audigy Recon3D Fatality And a few SSDs and HDDs thrown into a Corsair 900D with 14 fans or so.

Perfect fit

NZXT CB-LED20-BU Sleeved LED Kit - Blue, 2 m
NZXT CB-LED20-BU Sleeved LED Kit - Blue, 2 m

Pros: I bought this on a whim to fit out my new 900D and to my surprise it fits perfectly around the entire perimeter of the case on the window side(without being seen). it adds a great amount of light to the case to show off everything, and with the expansion placed in the lowest slot allowed the power cable to be quickly put through the rubber grommet and hidden from sight.

Cons: Only thing that is slightly annoying is the controls are on the back of the computer to change the brightness, but what are ya going to do it is what I expected when I bought it.

Overall Review: None works flawlessly and extremely happy that it fits perfectly almost like I broke out the measuring tape.

Amazing

RAZER DeathStalker Ultimate Smart Gaming Keyboard
RAZER DeathStalker Ultimate Smart Gaming Keyboard

Pros: The keys are so soft to press and actually feel good when typing, I wish I had this keyboard for when I was in school and typing up those long term papers. The numerous options for customization is also a big plus.

Cons: The only con for this one is that sometimes the touch screen and it's apps will stop responding, but a quick restart of synapse 2.0 will resolve it just fine, not to much of a headache for me, compared to other issues I have had to contend with, while others may find this as a major headache.

Overall Review: A great buy glad I spent the money to retired my old annoying razer lycosa keyboard that would randomly stop responding at will.
