Not too bad
Pros: This case is beautiful the pictures do not do it justice. The front of the case is pretty resistant to scratches and I like the way the drive bays are recessed a little to make the drives flush with the face. More than enough room to work in it actually dwarfs my old full tower. The window is placed well it blocks all the messy stuff and shows off only the Mobo and the good stuff. The airflow is excellent definitely one of the best cases I have seen for airflow. The VGA fan is a fantastic feature and the placement of the rear fan is perfectly behind the heat sink to immediately take the warm air out.
Cons: The build quality of the case itself is superb however the doors (sides) of the case are in my opinion horrible. They are extremely thin you can push them in with a fingertip they are so thin and the window is very poorly attached. It is not attached from the inside and riveted on from the outside it is just placed and riveted on from the outside so you can literally put your finger in between the windows edge and the door of the case because the door is so flimsy. The VGA fan is a great idea but the way it is constructed makes it extremely hard to take apart and put another fan in like one that lights up blue for instance. Trust me when I say extremely hard. The rear fan position is super tight. When I went to put an led fan in its place it was so tight that the ribbon on the sides of the fan actually restricted it from going in. I tried to force it in however it bowed the sides of the fan in so the blades could not spin. I had to use my dremel and make room for it.
Overall Review: Cons continued: Running the wires to the hard drive bays was a big pain in the rear because of the way they are separated from the rest of the interior. However all in all I would say this case is a very good case as far as functionality goes its nice looking and has great cooling but I don’t think it is worth its price at all. I gave it four stars but I think that I’m being a little generous.
Meh
Pros: Great design feels sturdy I like the contrasting grey fan....these things I have come to expect from corsair PSU's
Cons: I must say that im very disappointed in the cables that come with this model.....I have owned 3 other corsair PSU's and have been pleased with all but these......they are flat which I thought would be great for hiding them but I most definatley was pleased with this in practice......they are EXTREMELY stiff and hard to work with and they are VERY difficult to plug into the sockets and even when you get them in it seemed only half of them actually CLIPPED in.....call me nit picky but I know neat cables can make or break a build as far as looks go and I just expected better from corsair is all.
Overall Review: Couldn't bring myself to give it less than a 3 cuz the functionality of the product is fine. Although I did end up returning it I just couldn't get past the cables they kinda ruined the build.
I had a bad card ....But impressed with the seller.
Pros: when it was working i was getting file transfer speeds 10x what my AC adapter was capable of and it was an 866mbs card.
Cons: Every time i attempted to transfer a 47GB game file from my nas to my desktop it would drop connection. i connected it to both my 5.0 networks with the same behavior. Streamed tv shows for hours before this with no issue but the moment i transferred a large file boom disconnect. i tried about 8 times never got past 27%. drivers were installed correctly and i turned off the power saving option in the device manager.
Overall Review: Amazing speed when it was connected but if it doesn't stay connected whats the point......the seller made several attempts to contact me and make this right . I however didnt really have the time to go through a return process but thats not on them. They say its proly a bad card and to return it so ill trust their word because i certainly have never had a seller care enough to reach out to me as much as they have to make this right even when i have shown almost no interest in making any effort on my end. Changing to 4 stars since im so impressed with the seller.
8 yrs later
Pros: Bought this PSU almost 8 years ago now and it hasn't missed a beat. Im still running a 5.0 OC on an 8700k and pushing 2 1080ti's. I am incredibly impressed by this product and have bought exclusively from corsair for the last few years because of it.
Cons: None.
WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shameful seller here read reviews DO NOT BUY HERE.
Status Pre-Shipment Origin Post is Preparing Shipment My order has said this for 9 days and its been 15 since i placed the order. This product is a tiny motherboard what about it takes 9 days to prepare not to mention the 6 days that NOTHING AT ALL HAPPENED. Apparently it takes 6 freaking days to print a shipping label. The shipping label was printed the 2 days after i emailed them asking why my package hadn't shipped and the response was simply "your package has been shipped". Then it finally says they printed the label and it sits for another 9 days. How pathetic can you get. Newegg i am a 15 year customer here and im telling you if i have another experience like this that company named after a fain forest will be my new go to. I have received 4 other products that i purchased a week AFTER this purchase was made. I will update this review with more information as it becomes available.
Shameful
Ordered a 2.1 Logitech speaker set and received it in a timely manner however after traveling to the persons home i was building the pc for (out of state mind you) i open the packaging to discover a sub-woofer with no satellite speakers......NEVER experienced anything like this when buying from newegg directly....then after applying for an RMA online i was emailed back and asked for a picture of the product...sorry but i fail to see how a picture matters in the slightest to this situation....."here is a picture of the subwoofer and box that YOU SHOULD ALREADY KNOW THE LOOK OF"...now if it were damaged that's a logical reason to ask for a picture.... give me a break ....i can assure you newegg i will be avoiding products from ETopSell in the future and they are hurting your golden name.
