The MAG series was born through rigorous quality testing and designed to be a symbol of sturdiness and durability. Focused on providing the best user experience, the MAG series has a simple installation process coupled with a friendly user interface making it the best choice for entry level gamers. The newly introduced MAG CORELIQUID Series has everything you're looking for in a liquid cooler, ranging from quality materials that provide reliable durability to heat dissipation technologies that are extremely effective. Users can even enjoy perks like ARGB lighting and a 270-degree rotating blockhead that is simple to use. On top of that, the blockhead boasts a unique irregular aesthetic that is both stylish and artistic. Every single component of the MAG CORELIQUID Series is designed with the end goal in mind: to provide effective cooling without any compromise. Mount the cold plate at any orientation, turn the blockhead up to 270 degrees, and keep it upright.The pump has been integrated into the radiator for sound dampening and noise reduction. Additionally, placing the pump into the radiator also increases the pump's life expectancy by moving it away from the heat source. A durable three phase motor at the core of the pump generates minimal vibrations for long-lasting operation. A split pathway through the radiator rapidly dissipates heat, cooled liquid is then pumped back into the loop. Constructed with three layers of netted plastic tubing and a reinforced mesh exterior.

Super easy to install as a replacement with lots of options on where and how to mount. Search YouTube for step-by-step instructions on how to clean off old thermal paste and apply new.

4K HDR from PS4 Pro on my UN55HU8550!
on April 18, 2019
Posted by: AnSVMan
from Silicon Valley, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought the EK mostly to get HDR with 4K from my PS4 Pro. There are also some HDR Netflix movies that work as well. Looks great! Very easy to set up. However, I knocked off one star because rarely, maybe once every 3 months of daily use, something causes all the SmartTV apps to stop working and I have to unplug the EK to reset everything. There's no power switch on the EK, so unplugging is the only way I've found to power it off.

Superb 1080p GSync, but ...
on March 30, 2019
Posted by: AnSVMan
from Silicon Valley, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I kind of wish I had gone for a 1440p instead. As a 1080p and compared to other 1080p monitors, it's fantastic -- its display is sharp and bright and very responsive. I've tested it from 30fps to 120fps (using an RTX 2070) and GSync was rock solid with no screen tearing. The physical design is one of the best I've seen and the stand finally goes high enough to be at the right eye level for my desk, without needing to put reams of paper under the base.
Built-in speakers are a little tinny and flat sounding, but that's to be expected.
I got at 1080p so that when I'm screen capturing to video, the clips will be the same aspect ratio as what I upload to YouTube, so no black bars or scaling, but the lower resolution is noticeable when playing games. That's partly my own fault, since I turn down or off anti-aliasing to get higher frame rate, but pixels and jaggies were not as noticeable on my old 1200p, even with anti-aliasing turned off.
Still, as a 1080p GSync monitor, I can't knock it. It deserves 5 stars.

The new MacBook Pro is razor-thin, featherlight, and now even faster and more powerful than before. It has the brightest, most colorful Mac notebook display. And it features up to 10 hours of battery life.* It~s a notebook built for the work you do every day. Ready to go anywhere a great idea takes you.

Bought this on sale for my sister. Works great, keyboard is fine, smallest memory and SSD options have not been a problem, though my sister mostly uses it for Safari and email.

Are they magnetic so screws don't fall?

Yes, even the smallest heads.

It says it has 2 phone ports, can you use 1 for your landline phone and the other for your fax machine? I appreciate a reply!

Yes, that's exactly how I have mine set up, phone on #1, fax on #2.

Immerse yourself in stunning game environments with this iBUYPOWER desktop computer. The NVIDIA GeForce RXT 2070 graphics card has 8GB of dedicated video memory for cinematic visuals at high frame rates, and the 1TB SSD ensures sufficient speed and storage. This iBUYPOWER desktop computer has an Intel Core i7 processor and 16GB of RAM for optimal performance.
 

How much RAM can it handle? I would like to go to 64GB if possible.

There are 4 DDR4 2666Mhz slots. I added another 16Gig for a total of 32Gig. If you replace the 2x 8Gig factory DIMMs with 4x 16Gig, you should be good to go.

Why is it like pulling teeth these days to buy a decent gaming desktop that has an optical drive? Or even a place to install my own optical drive? Yes, this matters, video work NEEDS an optical disk for distribution. BRs and DVDs are quite useful.

FWIW, I also needed a BR/DVD burner and bought an external USB 3.0 16x drive for $120. It works great. Sure, it would be more convenient and less clutter to have it internal, but if you need it, it's not really a problem.

Would the cooling system be able to be modified because all the specs are good but the cooling and I’m planning on installing if it is

Adding on to Rich's answer, which I agree with 100%, it also depends on what you mean by modify. As in replace with a water-cooled system? You'll need to know how much vertical clearance you'll need to install something like that. There's quite a bit of space above the CPU, the outer case is 8.25" wide outer dimensions, but better not to guess and hope.

And I'm also wondering why? The CPU can't be overclocked, so why mess with the factory cooling system?
