Most Favorable Review

Very good product for its size.

Intel Compute Stick BOXSTK1AW32SC Ultra-slim PC Intel Atom X5-Z8300 (1.44 GHz) 2 GB DDR3L 32 GB eMMC Intel HD Graphics Windows 10 Home 32-Bit
Intel Compute Stick BOXSTK1AW32SC Ultra-slim PC Intel Atom X5-Z8300 (1.44 GHz) 2 GB DDR3L 32 GB eMMC Intel HD Graphics Windows 10 Home 32-Bit

Pros: For its size I was very surprised at how fast this little thing is. Plugged right in and booted nearly instantly into Windows 10 home.

Cons: Slightly too big for most TV's HDMI port layout to have things plugged in beside it, but the included HDMI extender cable was able to make it work perfect

Overall Review: Bought for my grandparents to replace an old PC that was running an AMD dual core and 2.5gb of ram, on Windows 10 so they didn't have to relearn an OS either. I set it up for them and was really surprised at this little device. I might just another one for myself.

Most Critical Review

Worse choice ever to buy this junk

ASRock Z77 OC Formula LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Extended ATX Intel Motherboard
ASRock Z77 OC Formula LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Extended ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Full of features, when it worked

Cons: First one was DOA - Newegg RMA was great took 3 days. 2nd Board worked for 3 months, and now the 2nd and 3rd PCIEX16 slots don't work

Overall Review: Ive tested with different GPU's and 2nd PCIEx16 slot is dead, this is the 2nd board. Ive emailed ASRock and they stoped responding to me once i ask for a RMA. Its been 3 weeks since ive been able to contact ASRock Customer support. Worst company ive ever dealt with.

Excellent Results, But the tube is misleading

GELID Solutions GC-Extreme Thermal Compound
GELID Solutions GC-Extreme Thermal Compound

Pros: -I didn't have any other thermal paste to compare this to, so I can't comment on the differences between paste but from the reviews this is the best paste you can get that's not a liquid metal.

Cons: -The tube is much larger than the amount of paste you get. I bought a tube about a month ago and I'm buying another tube right after i finish this review (that could be a pro that I'm re-buying)

Overall Review: -The part that pushes in has about 1 inch left when It's completely empty, I was about to finish up the build and I pushed my thermal paste onto the cpu but only got a tiny dot not enough to use out of it. Thought it was stuck but I was in fact out It had looked like I had like an inch worth of paste left though with the syringe design. -I did get about 5-6 CPU mounts and a GTX 1080 worth out of my tube so I can't complain to much.

Fatal Flaw in its design

NETGEAR A6200-100NAS AC1200 WiFi USB Adapter IEEE 802.11ac, IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n USB 2.0 Up to 300 Mbps / 867 Mbps Wireless Data Rates
NETGEAR A6200-100NAS AC1200 WiFi USB Adapter IEEE 802.11ac, IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n USB 2.0 Up to 300 Mbps / 867 Mbps Wireless Data Rates

Pros: Works fine, says its connected at 867Mbps to my router which is about 10ft away

Cons: Only USB 2.0 which means even though it's connected at 867Mbps it will only transfer through the USB 2.0 interface at 480Mbps which is USB 2.0's limit.

Overall Review: I got this for free with a motherboard which is the only reason I'm using it.

Quiet and clean looking cables

Pros: I like the black flat cables, they don't have sleeving but with this design, it doesn't need it.

Cons: None that I have found thus far

Overall Review: Would recommend to anyone looking for a high-quality power supply that is modular and runs rather quiet.

Pros: Set XMP and runs how it's rated to do

Cons: None

Overall Review: Works good, haven't tried to overclock it yet just set it to XMP and loaded up windows.
