Thermal Paste At Its Finest

Arctic Silver CMQ2-2.7G Céramique 2 Tri-Linear Ceramic Thermal Compound
Arctic Silver CMQ2-2.7G Céramique 2 Tri-Linear Ceramic Thermal Compound

Pros: This stuff does its job well. It's in a syringe type of tube, it's for cooling down a cpu, and its got tri-linear ceramic stuff in it. I would recommend it to anyone.

Cons: None

Overall Review: The compound was more white than silver, which made me distraught as it didn't meet with the aesthetics of my computer build. So Ive cried myself to sleep every other night hoping that as it ages it will turn more silver so I can finally show my friends how colorful my thermal paste is in relation to the top of my cpu.

Didn't Work

Pros: It was small, pretty and had a detailed manual with it.

Cons: Was DOA. Couldn't get it to bring up any sort of video. I used two different video cards, from the same manufacturer, and still couldn't get the build to work. Thankfully the RMA process was easy enough.

Overall Review: It's good for a budget build that doesn't need too many bells or whistles, but you might be better off spending a little extra money for something better. Dual Bios also would have been cool, had I ever made it that far.

Pros: It's a digital cord. It either works or it doesn't. It's got a good length for the price, and the cord is pretty thick too.

Cons: None, unless if it fails on me after I finish writing the review.

Overall Review: Occasionally I wonder if this cord would support the weight of a human man, just in case I ever run into one of those movie moments in my life where someone is hanging off of a cliff and I need to run into my apartment and pull the cord out from the back of my computer/monitor and use it to assist that person, provided they can hang onto a ledge with one hand and the cord in the other.

Pros: Has 4 RAM ports, two PCI ports that are above 1.0, and a pretty easy to use BIOS menu.

Cons: I'm not 100% sure it still technically has a microATX form factor; the case I bought was specifically for microATX mobos and the board was right on the threshold of not fitting. Other than that though, it works great.

Overall Review: It didn't come with a mini speaker. That's not really a problem when the rig works fine.
