This AIO liquid cooler by Razer is an impressive unit. I installed this into a pre-built desktop I recently picked up. The stock cooler was not up to the task for the i7 12700F. It was tricky fit, but I was able to figure it out. You should have no issues if you're installing this into an aftermarket PC case. The pre-built cases don't leave you many options, but if you can fit this water cooler, it is well worth the time and effort. With the stock OEM fan cooler my temperatures would quickly jump to 98C under high CPU usage, which happens to be where the thermal throttling starts. This is very annoying and frustrating while gaming. Especially in FPS games like COD where a micro stutter usually means a death and a respawn for you. Also the stock cooler was very loud because it was constantly running at high RPM's to try to cool down the CPU. After installing this AIO liquid cooler, the temperatures dropped over 40C while gaming. Another pleasant side effect after installation was that my GPU now runs about 10C cooler during gaming sessions. That is simply very impressive. I'd recommend this to anyone using a fan cooler. Especially the OEM cooler.

Marshall's signature sound
on May 4, 2022
Posted by: kwilks3
from Saint Clair Shores, MI
How Often Used:Daily
Having owned other Marshall products over the years I was very excited when I received these. They did not disappoint. First, to connect these to your phone you must have the Marshall app installed. Once connected I was very pleased with how they sound. I listen to a lot of rock and metal music. These suit that kind of music very well. They have that signature Marshall "crunch" sound. Crisp highs, excellent mid range, and just the right amount of bass. The case looks great, and can be charged wirelessly. The only downside to the case is that you can not tell how much charge it has left. Most manufacturers will show you how much charge you have left. Once I got the right size tips for my ears, I found them to be very comfortable. These are not noise canceling, but they do block out a substantial amount of noise(passive). They do have an option to allow some noise through(TRA), and you can adjust how much to allow. Phone calls automatically activate the TRA mode and unfortunately you can't turn it off. I personally find this annoying. Battery life seems to be on par with what they advertise. Hopefully a firmware or app update can fix the issues I have with them.
Likes:
1.) Excellent sound
2.) Fit comfortably in ear
3.) Both the case and the buds are visually appealing

An excellent electric toothbrush
on May 4, 2022
Posted by: kwilks3
from Saint Clair Shores, MI
What can I say, it's an electric toothbrush that does an excellent job, as advertised. The toothbrush head has a charcoal coating that is supposed to help with cleaning the teeth. I don't know the exact science behind it, but after using the Burst electric toothbrush, my mouth/teeth feel very clean. I have another electric toothbrush, but this one has become it's replacement. This toothbrush has three modes, whitening, sensitive, and massage. I prefer the whitening mode. This toothbrush is supposed to last a month on a single overnight charge. So far I've gone a week and still no need to charge. My old electric toothbrush would only last four to five days. When you start this toothbrush it has some sort of timer that repeats itself. So basically it divides your brushing into 4 zones. Once it stops you should have completed brushing your teeth. They recommend replacing the toothbrush head every 12 weeks. I looked into the price of replacement heads that are Burst brand and they are going for about $25 for three. There are cheaper alternatives, but after reading the reviews for those products it doesn't seem like they are the same quality. One other thing to note is that it does not come with a travel case, but you can buy it separately.
Likes:
1.) Teeth feel really clean after using it
2.) About one month use on a single charge
3.) Divides your brushing into timed zones.

Excellent entry level gaming headphones
on May 3, 2022
Posted by: kwilks3
from Saint Clair Shores, MI
These are an excellent entry level gaming headset. They are very comfortable. The earpads are nice and soft. Having used them over the past few days, sometimes hours at a time. My ears have never felt fatigued while wearing these gaming. I wear glasses when gaming, and some headsets I have used in the past have put a lot of pressure on the arms making it uncomfortable over time. That was not the case with these. This headset also has a nice sound to them. In my opinion, they are a little biased toward bass, which is on the boomy side. If anything, I wish they were a tad brighter, but all that can be adjust via an eq if your soundcard software allows it. The cord has a built in volume control, making it easy to adjust the volume on the fly. The mic works well, as you would expect on any gaming headset. To mute the mic while gaming you simply flip it up the boom. It doesn't get any easier than that. For the price, it going to be hard to beat for an all around package like this.

An excellent entry/mid level gaming monitor
on May 2, 2022
Posted by: kwilks3
from Saint Clair Shores, MI
This is an excellent entry level monitor. The first thing I did when I received it is I went to the Asus website and download the driver/ICC profile and also software for this monitor. The software makes is very easy to fine tune the monitor to your liking. You are also able enable all the other options if desired. The monitor is G-Sync compatible, but you have to go into the Nvidia control panel and check an extra box to enable it because it hasn't been verified by Nvidia yet. Having used it over the past few days in a room that gets limited daylight I'd say I wish it was a tad brighter. I could see glaring being an issue in a well lit room. Enabling ASCR helps, but it's a double edge sword. It works great most of the time, but the transition can be slow. I wouldn't recommend it in fast pace FPS games. I really like that the monitor comes with a FPS counter and crosshair overlay built in. The built in speaker are... ok, but if you're a gamer, you'll probably never use them. The native resolution is 1920x1080 at 144hz, but you can crank it to 165hz using the display port. Having played several games, like Crew 2, Monster Hunter Rise, COD, etc., I didn't notice any ghosting at all at 144hz. Overall it was quite enjoyable to play on.
Likes:
1.) Built in crosshair and FPS overlay.
2.) Excellent picture and quick response
3.) Excellent base, doesn't wobble, and easy to assemble. No tools required

Comfortable night sleep
on February 20, 2022
Posted by: kwilks3
from Saint Clair Shores, MI
This is a very comfortable mattress. I'm 6'2", 220lbs, and my wife is 5'4" and 130lbs. We had zero issues with sleeping on it. We have had many comfortable nights of sleep on it. It arrives in a very small box. It was hard to believe a mattress was in there. It takes about 5-6 hours to fully un-compress and actually be a usable mattress. It does have a bit of a chemical smell at first, but goes away after a day or two. One thing I was disappointed about it is that this is supposed to be a 10" mattress, and even after a couple weeks it only expanded to about 9". Our previous mattress was around 13" and this one sits much lower than we expected. The good news is you can buy bases that are fairly cheap that are 18 inches tall and everything is back to normal.

Did not meet expectations
on February 20, 2022
Posted by: kwilks3
from Saint Clair Shores, MI
I had high hopes for this speaker. While the "surround sound" was decent while playing, It has just okay sound, nothing spectacular, making the experience not very enjoyable. I do not notice any difference in the sound modes except when you select stereo and lose half of the volume it puts out. There is no option to customize the sound. It is comfortable around neck, but that's about all it has going for it.

Great Gaming Mouse
on January 27, 2022
Posted by: kwilks3
from Saint Clair Shores, MI
There's a lot to like about this mouse. It has it all. Wireless, RGB, very customizable, excellent supporting software, and great battery life. Gaming with it was a pleasure for the most part. I do have a issue with how it's designed to be held/gripped. My ring finger was constantly getting smashed by the right click button due to this. I tend to run higher that normal DPI, which is around 5000, but this is capable of 26000! I have no idea what you'd use that for, but it's there for you. Battery life is amazing. I've used this for 3 days so far, and a few hours each day of gaming and I'm still on a full charge according to the software. I really like that they include weights to tailor the mouse feeling. A lot of the mice that I have tried felt too light and didn't give you an option to add the weight. Make sure you calibrate the mouse to the surface you're using. It makes a difference.
Likes:
1.) Very responsive with zero lag
2.) Weights!

Gets the job done
on January 8, 2022
Posted by: kwilks3
from St Clair Shores, MI
This is a good gaming monitor. It has a great picture. Blacks are good too, but there is backlight bleed through all round the outside edges on mine. It comes with a bunch of presets for the picture, but I found using the "user" setting and tweaking the options is what's required to get the most out of it. The picture options are limited, and I had to go into my Nvidia control panel to fine tune my picture. One complaint I have is that the monitor is dim. Even turning the brightness all the way up and playing with contrast didn't work out to my satisfaction. Where this monitor does shine is the 165hz refresh rate and 1ms response time. I play a lot of high action games like racing, FPS, and fighting games. I did not notice any ghosting or screen tearing. I did try to use the speakers at one time on the monitor, my advice, don't. The RGB light on the back is also very dim. In my situation, the back of the monitor is close to the wall. I could not notice if it was on or off. Overall it's a decent gaming monitor that will get the job done.
Likes:
1.) Solid metal base, no wiggles.
2.) High refresh rate and 1ms response time
3.) Comes with both DP and Hdmi cables

Phenomenal sound w/ANC
on November 25, 2021
Posted by: kwilks3
from St Clair Shores, MI
I know sound is subjective, but these are one of the best sets of earbuds I've listened to. They have a rich tone with crisp highs. They sound phenomenal out of the box, but I highly recommend running the "HearId" test to setup a personalized sound profile just for your ears. The ANC works as you'd expect, which is great. The companion app is very easy to use, and is a must to update the firmware, and there's all kind of ways to tailor the sound to your liking. Battery life is on par with most other buds in this price range. I really like the shape of the charging case. It fits easily into my pockets.
