Part Reviews

CPU

  • No Official Windows 11 Support
  • Significantly slower than newer CPUs In 2024 I recommend getting AMD Ryzen Instead

Cooled the i7-7700k Very Well at stock settings

  • Has Overclocking Support
  • Lacks ARGB and Only has 2 USB Headers
  • Only Supports Intel 6th/7th Gen which aren't very good in 2024

Memory

No. the Deepcool FH-04 Fan Controller does not control RGB or come with the Deep Cool RGB Fan Controller or ARGB Adapter. Deepcool, Corsair and most RGB fans come with RGB Controller Included for that brand.
