Excellent
Wish there was a FreeGeek in Atlanta. This works perfect, helped me convert a junk computer into a somewhat respectable gaming PC replacing an i3-2100T. This isn't an i7-7700K but it works alongside a GTX 560 on a P8Z77 that I had to straighten the socket pins on. I'm giving it 5 stars for what it is, a now slightly outdated processor that does exactly what I need it to, which is run games that need quad core and do a bit more than run Facebook. Got a little over 600 in Cinebench, but I know what I paid for, and for a used product that's damn decent.

So far? Not great.
I can't even tell you about the lights or remote. I can't, because this product uses what is easily the cheapest quality Molex connector to power the controller. Add to that the fact that the fans themselves use a proprietary connector to attach to the controller, so you can't even use them without it. I have been adjusting the poorly attached pins inside the molex housing for half an hour because they do not line up with the molex on the PSU. I do not recommend this product if you don't have the large Molex connectors, and even less so if you're even mildly concerned about the pins breaking because it's so cheaply made that the housing on the Molex actually comes apart if you put any pressure on the pins at all. In a few minutes, if this doesn't start working, I'm just going to rip the crappy housing off the Molex, wrap the crap in electrical tape, and stick the pins directly into the PSU's Molex and just hope for the best because it's better than trying to keep this connector from breaking/falling apart. I would love to think that the fans or controls are at least neat or cool looking but I wouldn't know at this point because it can't be plugged in to test. From now on I will put extra money into something that is functionally capable of being used as designed.
