Most Favorable Review

I Like it and matches ny new case,

5.25" Full Color Thermal/ Clock Control Panel (Black)
5.25" Full Color Thermal/ Clock Control Panel (Black)

Pros: I bought this for 2 main reasons. To keep a eye on my phenom ii x6 current temp and current time. If you don't you know where to put the leads I'll help... Take your cpu lead wire put it inbetween your heatsink sink fins. Take your a hdd wire place it underneathe the green circuit plate slide it over it to your right. Take your system wire place somewhere safe on a metal frame away from the mobo. Wrap all wires and hook up everything else accordingly and your golden... Nothing to hard about that.

Cons: Forget about trying to control the tempature with this, especially the cpu. Let the AMD and Intel BIOS determined when your cpu you needs to be cooled off during intense stress.

Car MP3/MP4 Player SD FM Transmitter with Remote Control 12-24V Wireless Transmission - 4-in-1 : MP3 player, MP4 player, SD/MMC Card Reader, FM Transmitter
Car MP3/MP4 Player SD FM Transmitter with Remote Control 12-24V Wireless Transmission - 4-in-1 : MP3 player, MP4 player, SD/MMC Card Reader, FM Transmitter

Pros: Got this as a gift for my neighbor. It was easy for him to install and setup within 1 hour. Even though it looks small and cheap in the packaging. This mp3/mp4 player has alot more features than newegg is telling you.

Cons: The manual doesn't make much sense. Especially in chinese language, heh, oh well least it works out. :/

Overall Review: nope. it worked perfectly with no problems. :)

Better than tuniq-x2

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: I purchased this for 2 reasons, the price tag in 2012 was abit cheaper. Also I usually go with tuniq x2 thermal grease, but it really doesn't go too well with higher end amd cpus. I change my grease normally twice a year. I haven't really needed to change this one for about 8 months. It cools very well especially with specialty heatsinks out there now. My AMD FX4100 with this grease peeks at 43c full load. Underload even in hot weather it will average in at 22c-35c all day. Lastly it doesn't stick like tuniq thermal grease does.

Cons: Not much to fuss about the grease, think the price should drop some again but its all good to me.

Overall Review: If your deciding on which thermal grease to get go with this for all AM3+ chips. The LGA 1155 and LGA 2011, I recommend something abit moe stronger than this. :)

Raidmax finally does something right.

RAIDMAX Helios ATX-819WB Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
RAIDMAX Helios ATX-819WB Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: I had received this godzilla of a case on 6/28/2012. Looking at the box and then 5 minutes later on the inside I was quited shocked! I can tell raidmax is finally taking their time to make the steel much more sturdier on their recent cases. Inside before installation is quite good, afterwords is another story. -_- The hdd mount was quite easy to do and was something I have been needing badly. Those of you that have issues, just connect your sata first to the hdd loop it back on the tray shelf and put your other connector on it and "gently" close it

Cons: The upcoming problem with this case, I really dont know who is fault, but someone at newegg or raidmax had drop this case. The back psu mount is all jacked up, everything else on it is fine. The case fans on the front are a little bit to dimm so I'll replace it later with aero cools 120mm blue or red fans. Like almost everyone agrees the wire management is a nightmare, g if a fan or part may cut it accidently one day your back on the phone with rma support again. :(

Overall Review: This computer is going to be given to someone else so I will not be able to keep this. :) I would definently consider getting this by the end of summer.

This is one case could beasted against xclio wind tunnel..

AeroCool Vx-e(EN52689) Black SECC 0.5mm ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
AeroCool Vx-e(EN52689) Black SECC 0.5mm ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: I purchased this case because my raid max typhoon had become to fall apart and the blasted manufacturer did not want to honor a newly bought warranty... Since I've been wanting something similiar to that of the xclio wind tunnel which price range is at around 89.00.... I found this, even though it had one review and not much info I dug around for this and finally bought it last month. It sits here right now, as I type this, it's very awsome and you can see you through the grating door. The turbine engine fan looks alot more better than exclio's and can be taken out for a newer evil red 140mm fan when your ready for it...

Cons: The only con is the back fan is kind of loud. If you have it on the floor at night and your sleep it should be no problem... But whatever you do don't sleep next to this computer or it will wake you up every so often...

Overall Review: If your looking at this now and exclio and possibly raidmax, do a youtube review on this and that will help make things easier.

Works effortly with my Phenom II X6 1055

Kingston 1GB DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Desktop Memory Model KVR1333D3/1GR
Kingston 1GB DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Desktop Memory Model KVR1333D3/1GR

Pros: I had purchased this at the end of september to give my new RMA'd C45-770 a better upgrade boost to 2gb worth of DDR3 1333MHZ. Without a doubt windows 7 ultimate 32bit became more efficient and the phenom ii was able to increase the clock speed past past 4.0ghz with 1.39 voltage stable. Even without that high over clock and doing fine and on normal dram timings set by the bios is perfect.

Cons: It will under clock itself if you let the bios do it. Beware of that from time to time.
