Just Great!

EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 G+, 80 Plus Gold 1000W, Fully Modular, FDB Fan, 10 Year Warranty, Includes Power ON Self Tester, Power Supply 120-GP-1000-X1
EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 G+, 80 Plus Gold 1000W, Fully Modular, FDB Fan, 10 Year Warranty, Includes Power ON Self Tester, Power Supply 120-GP-1000-X1

Pros: Quiet, modular, 80+ Gold, on sale frequently, 10 year warranty.

Cons: Probably more juice than you will need for many system configurations (Not really a con at all).

Overall Review: A solid power supply. It is currently powering my 1920x Threadripper system with a GTX 1080TI gpu and a GTX 980 gpu and 32 gigs of ram. I could easily replace the GTX 980 with another GTX 1080TI and add another 32GB ram and still have power to spare. This p.s. will probably be perfect for the majority of system builders.

Fun, but...

Hinterland PC Game
Hinterland PC Game

Pros: Fun, addictive, easy to learn, inexpensive.

Cons: Rehash of previous games, graphics no better then what was available from games five years ago, no printed manual, only one game save slot, had problems running at full resolution, not completely stable.

No screws...

Pros: Black, reasonable quality, inexpensive.

Cons: No screws!!

Overall Review: How hard would it have been to include matching screws with these? I took an egg off for the lack of screws.

Nice Memory!

CORSAIR Vengeance RGB DRAM 32GB (4 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) AMD X399 Compatible Desktop Memory Model CMR32GX4M4C3200C16

Pros: Fast, Quad channel, Good capacity, Works well with X399 system, RGB

Cons: Expensive

Overall Review: This memory is a great match to my Threadripper system. MSI's Mysticlight software allows for many different RGB settings. Unfortunately, Threadrippers are know for high memory latency. This is not the memory's fault. Some people report having problems with setting this memory to 3200mhz. I had no issues with this at all. Threadripper 1920X MSI X399 Carbon Gaming Pro CORSAIR Vengeance RGB DRAM 32GB Samsung 970 Pro 512GB SSD M.2 EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 G1+ p.s.

Really Good Cooling

Pros: Good cooling, RGB, fits AMD and Intel sockets. Reasonably quiet.

Cons: Water block does not fully cover Threadripper cpus, Attachment of tubing at water block may block memory sockets on some Mobos. This is an issue for me. Tubing could be a little longer and little less stiff.

Overall Review: This AIO is doing a very good job of cooling my Threadripper 1920x. Idle temps @ 28c and max temps under load hover right around 72c when running Prime95. The unit's RGB is programmable and looks great. I took an egg off for the cons (see above).
