Awesome buy!
Pros: Used this in my first PC build, and there are no complaints! Modular is the only way to go!
Cons: None
Overall Review: Even though it's not a big deal, I and many other people ran into the problem where 1-2 screw holes don't matchup with the case.
Great product, nightmare installation
Pros: Effective and aesthetically pleasing
Cons: Getting the screws into this unit was one of the most frustrating things I’ve ever done in a build. My hand was bruised, wrist in pain, and even my back hurt at the end of 2 hours it took for installation. I even attempted to use my mini power drill and it gave out.... entirely unacceptable from a company that offers premium products.
Overall Review: This cooler itself deserves 5 eggs but the time, effort and literal pain to put in 12 screws lost this 2 eggs. You’ve seen the consistent complaints about this Corsair, fix it so others won’t have to suffer like we did.
Gorgeous case but be aware of small size
Pros: Cable management is a breeze, the compactness of this case is perfect for tight builds, appearance is absolutely stunning after everything is said and done. Do your research on size of parts in comparison to this case, I ended up having to return a water cooler because 280mm couldn't fit in either position. I would highly recommend only using m.2 storage on your mobo or only SSD as the drive bay combo'd with the power supply leaves little to zero room for cables. I have 2 m.2 1TB ssds on my board so I removed the bay.
Cons: No hinge on glass pane is annoying! As what seems to common a thing with corsair, screws have a difficult time threading ESPECIALLY the ones on the panel to get to cable management. While great and certainly manageable if you do your research, the size of this case barely classifies as a mid tower in my opinion.
Overall Review: Overall I am very pleased and this case helps sport the look of my build quite well, although in the future I will likely opt for a larger case with a hinge next go around.
Good but likely returning
Pros: Great sound, bass and look. One of the biggest things about gaming headsets for me is can it fit comfortable with glasses. Hardly and reviews or descriptions eve rmention this so i took a risk getting this. Price is great and everything about it very good, but read cons to see why I'll likely end up returning it.
Cons: Maybe my left ear is bigger than my right haha or I got the left cup slightly smaller cause after two hours of use, my left ear is absolutely on fire. The right feels fine so idk what's up with that. I know I definitely have slightly above average sized ears so it could be a factor but it's just odd that it's only my left ear. I'm going to stretch out the cup a bit and see what happens.
Overall Review: Price,feel, look and quality are all great, just don't buy if you have even a mili inch bigger than average ears.
Confused
Pros: Not sure if this is supposed to be a review of the actual game or the fact that it's free with certain purchases, so I'll mix in both. I got this with my MSi GTX 760 and as far as the game as free gift, total steal! The game is incredibly fun and absolutely perfect to test out the power of the GTX 760. The game itself is incredibly fun and don't know why a lot of people hate it. It's like a mashup between GTA/Assassin's Creed/Deus Ex.
Cons: Story isn't anything amazing, but not bad enough to drop rating. Vehicle collision is just all wrong, it's the only thing they messed up on concerning immersion and feel of the game. A major gripe of mine though is pretty much all of the online modes but the 1v1 which is very fun, especially when being invaded. But the other game types where you fight for a file and try to upload it is complete bull. I spent over 20 minutes in a match and the file was only at 62%. If you avoid online play aside from invading/invasions, you will have a great experience.
Overall Review: Keyboard and mouse is great for this game. Driving can be difficult but overall I'd say mouse/keyboard > controller.
Pretty "meh"
Pros: It's decent, but you may run into problems like me.
Cons: Cheap. I have a problem where my pc won't boot on it's first time being turned on. Have to manually reset with the power button to get it to start up. Also when I go to restart, it does everything properly but when it goes to start back up again, it does the same as when I try to boot the pc up. When I say that i mean the PC is on, fans are running, LEDs on and cpu/gpu running, but no display and mouse/keyboard/sound are off as if it's it sleep mode but has everything running. Still haven't been able to figure out the root of the problem so it's just stuck like this for now. Thank you SSD for making up for this.
Overall Review: If you can go even 10 bucks higher, get something else as this was a pretty regretful purchase for me.
