Works great

Noctua NF-A14 FLX, Premium Quiet Fan, 3-Pin (140mm, Brown)
Noctua NF-A14 FLX, Premium Quiet Fan, 3-Pin (140mm, Brown)

Pros: -Almost silent at 12 volts. -Dead silent at 7 volts (still push a lot of air) -Works perfectly with my the fan controller integrated in my Fractal Design R4. -Comes with a lot of accessories that can help installing it on any type of case.

Cons: The only cons i can find is that the little rubber attachment are hard to install, but i don't use them since i prefer the fan to be securely attached with screws.

Overall Review: This is great, i though this was overpriced and ugly but the quality is amazing thus far.

Most Critical Review

Silent normaly but lound when underload

CORSAIR HX Series HX1050 1050 W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready
CORSAIR HX Series HX1050 1050 W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready

Pros: Can power a lot of stuff and come's with a variety of cables. When under light load, it's dead silent since the fans if off.

Cons: Really loud when under heavy load. Don't know if its normal.

Overall Review: Its so loud under load that if i knew it before hand I wouldn't have bought it.

Good product but expect dead pixels and black bars.

Pixio PX277 Prime 27 inch 165Hz IPS 1ms (MPRT) HDR WQHD 2560 x 1440 Wide Screen Display 1440p 165Hz Flat Adaptive Sync Esports IPS Gaming Monitor
Pixio PX277 Prime 27 inch 165Hz IPS 1ms (MPRT) HDR WQHD 2560 x 1440 Wide Screen Display 1440p 165Hz Flat Adaptive Sync Esports IPS Gaming Monitor

Pros: -Fast 165Hz -HDR -Freesync -Clean looking

Cons: I ordered two of these for a dual monitor setup. One got three dead pixel in the middle and the other one is almost perfect with a small (but almost imperceptible) darker spot. Please inform yourself before buying, Pixio only offers warranty if you have over 5 dead pixels. I knew this before buying and took a chance since they are so cheap. Something I didn't expect was the black bars around the bezels. I thought these were almost bezel free since the actual (physical) bezel are really thin. However, there's at least 1/4" of black bars on the sides.

Overall Review: Good product but you're rolling a dice (for dead pixels) when buying this monitor. Consider the black bars on the sides if you're considering a multi-monitor setup.

Artifacting sometimes

SAPPHIRE VAPOR-X Radeon R9 280X 3GB PCI Express 3.0 Graphics Card 100363VX-2SR
SAPPHIRE VAPOR-X Radeon R9 280X 3GB PCI Express 3.0 Graphics Card 100363VX-2SR

Pros: -Runs cool at 67 degrees on Unigine valley

Cons: -For some reasons this card is artifacting on some games, usually on older ones. I think its memory related. The memory seems to overheat. I never got a problem with it when the fans where spinning at maximum which is why It artifact on games with lower settings.

Overall Review: I overclocked it once so I can't return it. But I swear its didn't overheat when I overclocked it so the artifacts aren't related. I only increased the core clock settings. I didn't touch the memory clock or the voltage.

Works great!!

G.SKILL Sniper Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) Desktop Memory Model F3-1866C9D-16GSR
G.SKILL Sniper Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) Desktop Memory Model F3-1866C9D-16GSR

Pros: -No issues reported with memtest software -Fast and 16 gigs Once its set on the bios (automatically with XMP profile) and passed memtest, thats all you need.

Cons: -None so far

Overall Review: 16 gigs is overkill, however, expect ram usage to increase in the following years. When I'm gaming, using voice chat, and lots of other software in the background, I usually go over the 8 gigs threshold.

It does the job

Corsair Vengeance MM200 CH-9000012-WW Compact Gaming Mouse Mat
Corsair Vengeance MM200 CH-9000012-WW Compact Gaming Mouse Mat

Pros: -its a mouse mat

Cons: -The corsair software included with my mouse gave it a 3 out of 5 for surface quality. That why i also gave it a 3.

Overall Review: Even if corsair own software gave it a 3 I didn't have any issues with this mat and the cursor is following my hand movements really well.
