Excellent monitor
on December 6, 2022

Verified Purchase:Yes
If 1080p is what you need then this monitor won't disappoint. I'm very happy with it. 1440p is better if you have the right GPU but if not then this would be a good option.

Ok PC fan
on December 6, 2022
Posted by: Steve
Verified Purchase:Yes
These are a little expensive now compared to other PC fans on the market. I had a couple that were older and figured it was cheaper to get a couple more rather than buying all new different fans. I kinda regret that decision now.

I like most Corsair stuff but I honestly was very disappointed with this thermal paste. Much better options out there. It works ok so that's why 3 stars.

If your PC is in the Corsair ecosystem this will be a good device for controlling Corsair fans and argb. iCue software is required though it's a pretty good reliable software.

Nice keyboard
on December 6, 2022
Posted by: Steve
Verified Purchase:Yes
I got it on sale otherwise I probably wouldn't have bought it. With that said it's a nice keyboard. Not the best gaming keyboard but still nice enough for the sale price. It was also one of the easiest keyboard to open up and add foam and mod the stabs so that was also a big plus.

Mighty sound bar

Posted by: Steve
Verified Purchase:Yes
Use this on my gaming setup. Also have a razer headset which I was very happy with so this was an easy decision. Looks great and sounds awesome. I can press a button on the sound bar and switch between the headset and sound bar and back which is a big plus. I heard some people complain that it only has USB connection but that's how my wireless headset connects (2.4ghz dongle) so what's the big deal.

It depends on the connection type of the RGB/aRGB devices you plan on using. I made my own with spare connectors I had from previous builds. Watch this YouTube video which should be helpful. Corsair Lighting Node hacks for non-corsair RGB devices.

The CM1000 Ultra-High Speed Cable Modem, with speeds up to 1Gbps and DOCSIS 3.1 is 10X faster than DOCSIS 3.0 devices. It's backward compatible with DOCSIS 3.0 and ready for future service plan upgrades for XFINITY from Comcast, Cox, and Spectrum. A Gigabit Ethernet port provides faster access and downloads.
On the Spectrum Authorized Modems page, is says Netgear CM1000v2 is compatible. Is this v2 I don't see where it says it anywhere in the specs or in the model number.
I ordered it on BB website and received the V2 version even though it wasn't specific which version it was. Probably all the older versions are sold out and only the V2 is available now and BB hasn't updated their website description.

Midco list CM1000 & CM1000 v2 BB sells NASversion, Called Netgear they said 3 versions of modem are avail. & order of release are CM1000, CM1000-NAS, CM1000V2 so called Netgear -they said call ISP, called ISP they said call Netgear, this work w/Midco?
I ordered the only CM1000 on BB website which doesn't really clarify if it's V2 or not. When I went to register it on Netgears website it came up as V2 which was great news. I'm pretty sure all the original ones have been sold out and the V2 are what you will get as long as ordering from a reputable company.

Would you be able to overclock an AMD Ryzen 9 3900x
Yes. Easy to overclock multi core to 4.0/4.1 and even up to 4.3 with a single core clock of 4.7/4.8. I have a 3700X on this mobo but my other Asus mobo has the 3900X so I'm familiar both the Mobo and CPU.
