Great cooler for overclockers!

If your PC case is designed to have a radiator (2 - 120mm fan size), definitely pick one of these up. I went from the H80i to this model (H100i). The H100i gives you about a 6-8 degrees Celsius more in cooling performance than the H80i. I have an i7 4790K and this cooler keeps my CPU down to 20C on idle and it almost never hits over 45C when I'm gaming. Well worth the money!

Designed for medium to small hands
on March 8, 2015
Posted by: vespa731

Verified Purchase:Yes
If you have small/medium hands or you're a claw gripper, this is a fantastic mouse for you. The build quality is 50% fantastic. Why do I say 50%? Because only the bottom of the mouse is made out of a metal finish. The entire top feels like flimsy plastic. The LED areas seem rather pointless considering that your hand will be covering most of the lighting to begin with. And oh boy, if you have another Corsair product (I have the Corsair K70 keyboard), you may have to tinker with its settings otherwise the software will not recognize the M65. Sometimes I had to unplug and plug the mouse back in just to load the profiles I created from the software. Other times, the mouse just didn't work. I tried this on both my PC rigs and my MAC. I contacted Corsair's customer service and they're only recommendation was to get a replacement mouse. I did that and the 2nd M65 I got had the same problems. I gave up and went with Razer's DeathAdder Chroma. I really wanted to like this mouse. And oh yeah, it's a laser mouse, not optical. So that may or may not be a dealbreaker for some. It's a decent mouse overall.

Loud, bass heavy, and good gaming headset
on March 8, 2015
Posted by: vespa731
from South San Francisco, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Keep in mind, I used a $40 Best Buy Rewards Certificate in conjunction with my purchase for the Kraken. At $99.99, I believe these headphones are a bit overpriced. It does the job. It's a little on the bass heavy side in which you might want to tweak the EQ settings via the Razer Synapse software. My only gripe with this headset is that there is no way other than through your computer's volume control (thank goodness, my Corsair K70 keyboard has a manual volume wheel) to control how loud or soft you want the sound to be. The 7.1 surround sound is decent. The mic is flexible but it stubbornly likes to keep bending upwards. So if you want to bend it lower to aim towards your voice area, it won't happen unless you shift the whole head phone on top of your head forward. Overall, I can't complain. It's a lot more decent in sound quality than most of the Logitech headsets I've used. The RGB lighting is purely aesthetic and I believe there is a non-Chroma version out there for $20 less at Best Buy. Overall, it's a decent headset.

Best non-flashy gaming mouse you can get today
on February 26, 2015
Posted by: vespa731
from South San Francisco, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Pros: Best FPS gaming mouse that I've ever used. I previously had the Corsair M65 RGB but issues with the drivers and compatibility with Windows 8.1 (as well as Corsair's customer service) made me resort to Razer's infamous DeathAdder line. What can I say? It's a fantastic mouse. I think it was designed more for palm grippers over claw grippers but overall, it is a fantastic and responsive gaming mouse
Cons: You will need to program some of the buttons to have the ability to switch DPI/profiles on the mouse rather than via Razer Synapse. You can program the mouse to change colors but the transition has a delay (it's not instant). The build quality is suspect. It feels 'cheap' yet it performs well.

One of the best gaming keyboards I've ever used
on February 19, 2015
Posted by: vespa731

Verified Purchase:Yes
I was skeptical using Cherry MX Red switches until I finally got my hands on this Corsair K70 beauty. The response and fluidity of the keyboard is excellent. The handy features which allow you to light up specific keys is great. I love how it comes with the option to change a few of the keys with keys that have a different texture (ex: W, A, S, D). It has definitely swayed me away from using anymore Razer gaming keyboards (they have opted to use their own rendition of switches that are manufactured in China)
Pros: Excellent build (aluminum finish). Very thick and sturdy cord. Customizable backlit keys (except for color, only comes in red lighting). All keys are mechanical. Very sturdy. Volume roller is fantastic. Throughput 2.0 USB (too bad it's not 3.0)
Cons: This model only has red backlit keys. Only W, A, S, D, 1-6 textured keys were provided rather than a few more (like F, C, Shift, etc.), USB throughput connection is on the back instead of the side, no headphone jack

One of the best single card GPUs you can get
on January 23, 2015
Posted by: vespa731
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was tempted to get the reference card by Nvidia sold here by Best Buy, however, it's actually $50+ more than EVGA's superclocked version of the card. Don't get me wrong, the reference card's cooler with backplate is much more appealing than EVGA's 980 SC, however, right out of the box, the EVGA 980 is already factory overclocked with a lot of more headroom to overclock it even more for more performance. My only gripe is that for the money that we pay for, we could've had a backplate with this thing. EVGA made backplates for their GPUs, but you have to pay an additional $19.99 for it (which is ridiculous in my opinion). Other than that, you'll run most games at ultra settings and 60+ fps on a 1080p monitor. Of course, the performance of the game is highly dependent on how well optimized the developers made the game you intend to play on PC. Another drawback is that you may get some potential PSU coil whine. Whenever this GPU is tasked with 100+ fps on any single game, you'll start hearing your PSU make this coil whine noise. At first, I thought it was my PSU (which is EVGA as well - 750W), but it turns out that Nvidia's 900 series cards are known to have this issue. It's not a big deal as you will eventually not notice it, but it's there. Great performing GPU overall

Stream your favorite TV shows and movies straight to your TV with the Roku Ultra. It has voice search to make finding your next binge easier, and it's compatible with 4K Ultra HD displays for crystal-clear picture quality. The Roku Ultra includes a lost remote finder so you never have to search the couch cushions again.
Has anyone used this device (Roku - Ultra Streaming) paired with a Samsung 4k TV to watch UHD movies on VUDU? The Roku 4 is supposed to work but I would like to purchase the Ultra instead. Thank-You
If you notice, the Roku 4 is no longer featured on Roku's site. One of the drawbacks for that model was lack of HDR capabilities. I have the Roku Ultra and it definitely has an option to use HDR onto your HDR capable TV. Note: My TV has HDR set to 'on' so this might be something to take into consideration. The Roku won't magically provide HDR to a 4K TV that doesn't support HDR.

There's insane, and then there's the GeForce GTX 1080 Founders Edition graphics card. The Nvidia Pascal architecture delivers incredible raw graphical processing power exactly when you need it so that you can see every last bit of detail at extraordinary frame rates. Drive VR, multiple monitors and virtually everything else with the GeForce GTX 1080 Founders Edition graphics card.
So is BestBuy EVER going to get these cards "in stock" ... almost 1 month later and BestBuy isn't stocking this item? Why? It's available in many other online stores ... I'd like to use BestBuy since they are local, but no stock?
It's been "out of stock" in a lot of places. The reason for the shortage is due to the lack of resources to supply the demand of Pascal components. Plus Nvidia always seems to release "just enough" of their latest and greatest cards out there. I know your question is over a month old, but now.................... Founder's Edition cards are everywhere. The reason? Not everyone wants to buy a reference card that has a fancy label (Founder's Edition) slapped onto them. There are so many non-reference card (and cheaper) alternatives out there.

Is this the Corsair Vengeance K70 Mechanical keyboard or just the K70?
This is the K70 non-RGB version. It has one color for LEDs: RED. If you want the RGB version, you're looking at over $150+ for the option to have choice when it comes to LED colors.

Does this K70 have the old or blacked out Corsair logo?
I know they've decided to roll out more of the RGB model with the old logo, but I was wondering if this keyboard, model CH-9000069-NA, has the old logo as well. A review on this product page was complaining about it having the new logo, although the picture here and on the Corsair website show the blacked out old logo. I just want to know for sure what I'm buying before I buy it.
Thanks!
Thanks!
I have the CH-9000069-NA and bought it at Best Buy. It has the new logo. It's purely aesthetic and sits near the F7 and F8 keys.

When will this item be back in stock?
It's a 50/50 shot, to be honest. I actually saw this card available for purchase one day and I immediately completed the order online. By the end of the day, it was sold out. I think this manufacturer only gives a finite amount of items per month. Your best bet is to keep visiting the site till you see that it's available all of a sudden. The GTX 980 has been in heavy demand as of late. You may want to just pursue the FTW version (which is technically $10 more than the SC version and slightly overclocked even more) or go all out and get the Classified version).
