Works great, but with a Warning

ARCTIC MX-2 (4g) Carbon-Based Thermal Compound, Non-Electricity Conductive, Non-Capacitive
ARCTIC MX-2 (4g) Carbon-Based Thermal Compound, Non-Electricity Conductive, Non-Capacitive

Pros: Great themal paste dont regret buying it, im using it on my current system running AMD FX-8120 (BULLDOZER)@4.3 GHz dropped my temps from stock by almost 35c cooler (Not joking) its that awesome. Old idle 38c-42c - New idle @15c-20c Old Max load by benchmark 55c-60c new max load 45c

Cons: Warning becomes glue and will stick itself to the CPU during upgrades so wiggle it out, DONT yank on it or you will risk Ripping out the socket!! Take your time while removing im glad i did after the 1st pull!!!

Overall Review: When i applied the new thermal from artic cooling, (im the type of person that makes sure and sometimes have doubts on how i apply thermal that the next day i had to remove it and reapply thermal to be sure i did it right) so when i tried to remove it, it was stuck like it was glued so i tried to wiggle it and continued till it started to become loose and then remove it i was like WOW, if i would of pulled it like i usally do i would of ripped the whole socket with the CPU out with it and that would of been really bad on my end!!! So just a warning to you guys and gals to look out for when replacing heatsinks when using this thermal paste!!! BTW didnt buy at Newegg i bought the paste at my local pc store, srry Newegg but i couldnt wait for 3 days needed it ASAP!!

How did this pass quality control

Logitech Wireless Combo MK260 920-002950 Black 8 Hot Keys USB RF Wireless Standard Keyboard and Mouse
Logitech Wireless Combo MK260 920-002950 Black 8 Hot Keys USB RF Wireless Standard Keyboard and Mouse

Pros: the mouse is great, never disconnects i give 5 eggs just for the mouse, i love the design of the keyoard its really slim, at least it used to be!!

Cons: keyboard always disconnecting its like if the receiver cant handle all the data between the mouse and keyboard while being used at the same time one day i couldnt take it anymore and i snaped the keyboard in half, then i stepped on it and threw it out

Overall Review: $30 dollar mouse a little overprice for a simple wireless optical mouse, but it works so im happy!!!

1st curve screen, Love this monitor

AORUS CV27Q 27" Frameless Height Adjustable Curved 1500R Gaming Monitor, Quad HD 1440p, 90% DCI-P3 Color Accurate VA Panel, 1ms 165 Hz, HDR, FreeSync Premium Pro, VESA, Zero Bright Dot Policy
AORUS CV27Q 27" Frameless Height Adjustable Curved 1500R Gaming Monitor, Quad HD 1440p, 90% DCI-P3 Color Accurate VA Panel, 1ms 165 Hz, HDR, FreeSync Premium Pro, VESA, Zero Bright Dot Policy

Pros: 165 Hz Curve screen and im never going back to flat 60Hz monitors ever again. Great picture, Nice colors, PLUS HDR At a great price. Build quality is amazing also stand is metal and has a good weight to it. Monitors build quality is excellent as well. Love the joystick at the bottom to use the menus.

Cons: The joystick to use the menus is a bit quirky at times like to turn off the monitor once it hits standby is a pain sometimes as you need to press inwards like the mouse wheel button and then hold steady for almost 5 seconds if you move up/down/left/right you will need to release and hold again. But that's a small issue easy to overlook. Also have some flickering happening on the edges on both left and right sides of the monitor but not in the center, Might be some setting i overlooked but can't find any info on the web. Besides that No Cons.

Overall Review: Monitor includes HDMI 2.0 cable, Displayport 1.4 cable plus they give you 3 type of power cords USA standard, Europe plug, and i guess south america. Overall Im in love with this monitor and my friend just ordered one. Will buy it over and over again.

Last piece to my AMD puzzle!!

ASUS ROG Radeon RX Vega 64 8GB HBM2 PCI Express 3.0 Graphics Card STRIX-RXVEGA64-O8G-GAMING
ASUS ROG Radeon RX Vega 64 8GB HBM2 PCI Express 3.0 Graphics Card STRIX-RXVEGA64-O8G-GAMING

Pros: Its fast for what it is and plays everything and looking good while doing it with a nice RGB Backplate so hope you have a glass case!! AMD drivers are getting better so the card is getting better. Best cooling solution you can ask for with 3 fans. Can make it reach or surpass the GTX 1080.

Cons: No cons for Performance, But should have been 1080Ti better!!! Overpriced still by $90 Compared to MSRP Thanks to the aftermath of the miners. Heat- Gets hot but it is a GPU, Can be overcome by extra case fans so it can hit higher clocks. Watt usage is up there can hit 400 watts if not undervolted. Heavy- so tighten the PCI bracket screws tightly. Big- Make sure it will fit, My case has this PCI bracket protector for the PCI Screws, Couldn't put it back on. Personal sidenote- Bank account still feeling that $600 Burn... LOL

Overall Review: Undervolt- You have to Undervolt to keep it cool so that it can clock higher, Have mine on -100 volts so its at 1.100v and the watt usage is around 280 to 300 underload. Performance- Its fast and can play everything at decent FPS over 60 FPS. Have mine limited to 130 FPS to keep it from generating unnecessary heat. Its hitting 1700MHz and Mem @980MHz but its HBM so dont need to overclock this much. Uses Aura to control RBG i like the software, Some have problems so i hear!! The most expensive and best card i have ever bought but the performance i get doesnt make me regret it!!!

Best AIO i had so far.

Corsair Hydro Series H100i V2 Extreme Performance Water / Liquid CPU Cooler. 240mm (CW-9060025-WW)
Corsair Hydro Series H100i V2 Extreme Performance Water / Liquid CPU Cooler. 240mm (CW-9060025-WW)

Pros: Cooling my 2700X and keeping it chilly cold have it OC to 4.2Ghz with 1.43v Vcore and max temps of 60 to 65c havent seen anything higher and XFR is disabled due to manual OC but somehow it went up to 4.5Ghz i guess theres room to OC as cool as it is i wont be surprised if XFR can go higher.

Cons: Couldnt get Corsair Link to work, I connected everything like the manual said.

Overall Review: Besides Corsair Link not working i have no complaints, It has RGB (default is white) would of kept it white tho it looks cool 😎 and the finish is nice. I love this cooler and i will buy another one for my GPU.

My 1st ASUS board

Pros: Looks awesome and it is, Its an ASUS!

Cons: Wish it was $200, Seriously it's worth it's $$$ (Not a con)

Overall Review: Just received it from the boys in blue (Fedex) Dont have the CPU yet which is an R7 2700X expected by tomorrow all one day shipping. I will update when i put it together...
