Pure google experience go for pixel.

Want the best performance to price ratio, got for the OP3T.

If i were to choose, OP3T for me. Period.

Yeah clearly the reasons for choosing either. But considering ip7 courage phone recon bnib prices are either cheaper than Pixel with proper warranty coverage might as well hoot ip7.

But moi needed the flexibility of android with low bloat so moi ended up with OP3T cause imo the pixel needed more justification to hoot..

Hope it will not disappoint like OPO qc or LG with the bootloop shenanigans haizzz :(:(:(

Pixel phone is a rid off IMO for that pricing. Nothing special, just a name change and people go GAGA over it.

Yeah. Good features, software and performance but does not necessarily crush its competitors in product finish, lower IP rating, design (the fugly glass window, screen to body ratio) and price.

If the pricing was more sensible to make up for its shortcomings it would have been a much more popular choice.... Huawei mate 9 looks like a good choice too but 5.9 inch..

I can speak for the H80i GT/ V2. But its a thick 120mm rad model. Typical asetek AIO.

Minor annoyances: For mine, screw hole depth not even, some sides may need 2 washers to prevent it from wobbling.

Major annoyances: Poor and noisy stock fans but cooling is good you replace them with good rad fans.

Just an OK product, probably can pretty it with certain fans.

Thanks but no thanks. Their radiator fins also tends to rust after a while right?

I honestly can't trust Corsair's QC nowadays. And i find their design language boring already.. :s22:

Corsairs direction seems so-so imho.

Their chassis is mostly taking their older designs and revamp it by slapping a PSU shroud, wire management shroud, and lastly tempered glass everywhere. They like no longer bother much about their Obsidian series anymore where it was their prime selling point of minimalistic and also clean brushed looks. But for some reason, they take 2 steps back for the 750D Air flow edition by destroying the front looks but somehow, it brings more air into the chassis. In all although chassis they do have some nice implementations along the way, but hope to see a better design make over instead.

As for their AIO coolers, i have no complains, but design are at minimal. But some of their pump heads they no longer offer rotating barbs. Kinda sux that they make it fixed positions. Partly also to prevent leaks or mishandling ><.

Peripherals, till today i never liked any of their keyboards nor mice. None can entice me even 1 bit, and in conjunction with weird and difficult to understand software.

PSU, to me only the SF, AX, HX, RMi series are worth looking at.

Lastly their Corsair Link, which needs a lot of improvement works IF they are gonna incorporate everything, such as their fans, their PSU, their peripherals etc.

Corsair link dun always work for me, dun know why. Today it's fine, tomorrow and the day after it's not and then back to working fine again.

And corsair rams hate my Mpower mobo, or maybe it's the other way ard but i put back my oem rams, everything run perfectly.

Corsair PSU so ex locally, end up i got a eVGA psu from amazon. See the price of eVGA psu in singapore i laugh all the way to my bank account.

The fans on the Corsair AIO H80i are sai. Period. SAI. Spend S$150 on the AIO still need to replace the fans for better one. Total cost went up and performance is on par with my noctua HS. Should have save more by going for a Cryorig R1 or even spend nothing at all by sticking back to my Noctua.
