Works with no issues
Overall Review: Using with a 7600x3d to replace my old 1060. Made sure bios matched what intel has on website, used ddu to remove old drivers in safe mode, put in new card, and it booted right up. New drivers installed easily and all seems to work. Getting 2-3x performance depending on the game.
I wanted to like these
Pros: -Move a lot of air -very quiet when functioning properly at low speeds and relatively quiet even at max speeds -pwm is a nice touch
Cons: -only came with rubber isolators, no screws. The case I purchased had too small of holes for the isolators and these fans are about 0.5mm thicker than a typical fan is for some reason. This means the screws are a little too short and the entire fan casing becomes warped just to mount it. For the price I got these at ($13) I thought they would be a steal, but that is pretty annoying. -However, the bigger issue is the pulsing sound accompanied by these fans. I am not sure if it is poor balancing or bearing, but they make a very noticeable pulsing sound at all speeds, but you only really hear it at low speeds when it isn't covered by regular fan sounds. If you live in a noisy house or always have music or sounds on, you might not even notice it. But my computer is only around 3 feet from my head and I often work in near silence, making the fan very annoying. I bought 2 of these, one of them always pulsed and the other originally didn't. I sent one in for a replacement but then the 2nd one started so I am not very confident. I tried placing these fans in multiple orientations, multiple speeds, and without the case warping them, but to no avail. I will probably eventually get fed up with these and get different ones.
Overall Review: -Would not recommend unless you live in a noisy environment, use headphones constantly, or don't mind a pulsing fan sound.
Great Monitor - its possible to use KVM without usb c connector
Pros: - Big, bright screen with no dead pixels - Nice to have the higher framerate - Stand adjusts nice and high and is quite heavy and stable - KVM works well, I got it for work from home. My laptop is a bit old and has no USB C connectors. Even with a 3.0 A to C cable, I couldn't get it to transfer video. However, I was able to get KVM to work by having my desktop use Displayport + USB B cables, and my laptop using a VGA to HDMI adapter + USB2.0 A to C cable. I couldn't find anything that said you could pair the USB C port with another display connector, so I wanted to put it here.
Cons: - Honestly none really, although having 2 displayport connections to the monitor would have been nice
Overall Review: - I'd highly recommend as a good budget monitor
Great case with minor issues
Pros: -Looks great -Foam padding and front door significantly dampen sound -Foam covered plates to cover the upper radiator ports was a very nice touch if you don't plan on a radiator or top fans. -Nice grommets for the wire and sufficient cable routing -The 2 provided fans are relatively quiet and move air well -Provided filters work very well. I have only had the computer for around 3 weeks and there is enough dust built up on the front filters to require cleaning. -The door seems fairly sturdy
Cons: -Front fan mounting is pretty bad. Instead of 4 holes for fasteners they decided to put 2 small bumps and 2 holes. I get that the idea is to make location easier, but the 140mm fans I got (140mm Computer Case Cooling Fan Hydro Dynamic Bearing Silent 2 Speeds Rosewill) don't properly contact the bumps, causing the fasteners to twist the fan back into the case. In addition, the holes were too small for the rubber isolators typically sent with a fan. -The front audio ports to the computer have a poor electrical connection. Mine kept shorting out which was making it detect something in the front ports, causing obnoxious pop-ups and sound interruptions to the point that I just disabled them. I wiggled the wires to track the issue and it was right at the mounting point. However, it wasn't a super big deal breaker and I was hardly going to take my entire computer apart for that.
Overall Review: -A lot bigger than I imagined -Overall a great case that I will plan on keeping for a long time
Works great even with frequent moves!
Pros: -Super low cost -6 ft. is perfect for most setups, not too long or too short -Great connection despite even after 3 years of frequent plugging into my laptop and moving between homes every 3 months!
Cons: -none
Good mouse while it worked
Pros: It was a comfortable mouse and worked well on most surfaces although it had problems with rough surfaces such as some woods and carpet. Forward and back buttons placed very well. Long battery life
Cons: Center click died after around 2.5 years. This wouldn't normally be too big of deal but I needed it for CAD work.
Overall Review: It might be possible to replace the switch myself with a soldering iron...
