Very happy with this card

G.Skill 64GB microSDXC UHS-I/U1 Class 10 Memory Card with Adapter (FF-TSDXC64GA-U1)
G.Skill 64GB microSDXC UHS-I/U1 Class 10 Memory Card with Adapter (FF-TSDXC64GA-U1)

Pros: -Fast -Lower priced that some of the competition -Lifetime Warranty from a well known brand

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: EDIT: I had to post this a second time due to a typo, hopefully this review doesn't get posted twice. Make sure your device supports exFAT, as thats the format this card comes formatted in. I’m very happy with purchasing this card so far. The microsd card slides in and out of the adapter very easily, unlike some other brands, although I won’t be using the adapter. Below are my rough benchmarks on my desktop. Your results may vary depending on the speed of your computer and usb card reader. My desktop PC is an Intel i5-3570K cpu, using an Asus P8Z77-v motherboard. The USB 3.0 card reader is a Transcend model: TS-RDF5K. *** USB 3.0 (CrystalDiskMark) *** Seq: Read: 68.07 MB/s Write: 20.38 MB/s 512K: Read: 60.22 MB/s Write: 17.40 MB/s 4K: Read: 4.915 MB/s Write: 1.065 MB/s 4K QD32: Read: 5.299 MB/s Write: 1.188 MB/s *** USB 2.0 (CrystalDiskMark) *** Seq: Read: 35.55 MB/s Write: 19.81 MB/s 512K: Read: 34.48 MB/s Write: 17.63 MB/s 4K: Read: 4.196 MB/s Write: 1.141 MB/s 4K QD32: Read: 4.753 MB/s Write: 1.187 MB/s I am using this in my Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 tablet, and kept the exFAT format it comes formatted in, for now anyways. I get close to the same benchmarks using the “Sd Card Tester” app when the card is inserted into the tablet itself.

Going downhill fast

Guild Wars 2 PC Game
Guild Wars 2 PC Game

Pros: Free to play after you buy the game The game world is very large

Cons: It now caters to children

Overall Review: I used to be a big supporter of this game, but that has since changed. It seems the game is becoming more catered towards children anymore. All of their special events have become a joke. For example the events will have stupid toys as rewards, your weapons become those toy wands, bells, pop guns etc, or for example toy backpacks of a fuzzy kids animal. The event content is always some low resolution instanced mini game. The game was advertised as being based around live dynamic events. But lately that is no longer true. All events require grouping and are always instanced zone areas. The rewards are so childish, it's embarrassing to play as an adult. Their official forums also delete most negative posts of the game so you can not trust the posts on there.

Accent lighting

MagicLight Smart Light Bulb (60w Equivalent), A19 7W Multicolor 2700k-6500k Dimmable WiFi LED Bulb, Compatible with Alexa Google Home Siri IFTTT
MagicLight Smart Light Bulb (60w Equivalent), A19 7W Multicolor 2700k-6500k Dimmable WiFi LED Bulb, Compatible with Alexa Google Home Siri IFTTT

Pros: There is an Android app that has all the features in it that are fairly easy to understand. You can control everything from the app. It looks good as an accent light It remembers the light color when I manually turn off the lamp, then turn it back on. If you have more than one bulb then each can be controlled separately or all made the same colors

Cons: The lighting colors seem too dim to me. It's price, but maybe it's due to all the electronics inside it.

Overall Review: All the photos show the brightness much brighter than it actually is. It's definitely accent lighting for an area around it. The Android app is called "Magic Home". You can download it to see what features it has. The app itself seems easy to use and has lots of options.

I love it

Overall Review: This computer case is so nice. You do get a mess of fan wires if you have all the fans installed, but you have extra room to hide the wires. I used my own purchased fans The lighting looks awesome, there is even a built in light on the front. There is a ton of ventilation on this case too which I love. My power supply which I got from Newegg has connections that come out the side of it but it still fits fine.. normal power supplies the cables come out the end. I love this case in red as it looks so nice... Its the best looking case I have owned. Its very solid and doesn't feel cheap. Mine came shipped packed with a lot of foam to protect it. It also comes with a nice plastic container with all the screws in it

I love it

Crucial Pro Overclocking 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR5 6400 (PC5 51200) Desktop Memory Model CP2K16G64C38U5W

Pros: +I love the all white look in my case. I have plenty of lighted argb fans in my montech 95 case already +I was a little worried if this memory would be compatible with my newly released Asus motherboard but it's working perfectly fine with no crashes at its rated EXPO speed settings. +Looks really classy being all white colored. Plus no huge heat spreaders to interfere with my CPU heatsink and fan +Crucial is a quality name brand company with a lifetime warranty. Being a named brand should mean more motherboards supporting it. +It's a good price for quality memory

Cons: -It has no lights on them but it's no big deal.

Overall Review: All that really matters is it running at its rated speed with the motherboard you are using. I tested the memory at its expo speeds set in the bios and had no errors with memtest or any other ram testing software like with occt. I never have been an overclocker, and even if you lower the timings you aren't going to notice that visually in any actual game play. A stable computer is far more important than anything, in my opinion anyways. Below is my recent current PC setup which I just bought most of myself from Newegg.

I love this rm1200x Shift Modular PSU

CORSAIR RMx Shift Series RM1200x Shift Fully Modular 80PLUS Gold ATX Power Supply
CORSAIR RMx Shift Series RM1200x Shift Fully Modular 80PLUS Gold ATX Power Supply

Pros: + The best feature for the model I have is that it has the modular cable connections on the SIDE of the PSU. Ive never seen that before. It helps save space next to the PSU. All the cases I have, each have a drive cage down by the PSU which I normally have to take that drive cage out because the PSU wires take up all the room. With it coming out the side I now have room next to my removable drive cage which is really great. + It comes with many optional cables. It even includes the new 16pin power connection cable for the latest PCIE 5 video cards. Its the latest power standard for PCIE 5 video cards. + All the cables have no mesh on them, or rubber around the connections, which is great because then the cable takes up far less space, and are far easier to bend in tight spaces. The wires in these cables are stuck together forming a flat cable, which also is really great, and needed since the cables are coming out the side of the power supply. They hold their shape too when adding a curved bend which too is great. + 1200w rated power supply using quality components. My previous power supply was also a Corsair PSU which I have had no problems with. The voltages displayed in the hardware monitor all show them like what they should be. Corsair makes quality PSU. + The PSU fan only spins up under load. I dont hear the fan at all anyways, either way. But I like having my PC quiet as I can.

Cons: With the modular power connections on the side. Its possible it might cause problems fitting if a case is narrower than normal. I was worried at first but just put a little bend in the wires next to the PSU, and it fits so great. My case is a Mid-Tower case.

Overall Review: Im REALLY happy with this PSU, everything about it. Especially the side connections, including how the wires bend and everything just fits great. My Mid-Tower case width is 8-1/8 The dimension of this PSU measured with a tape measure for Width x Length x Height: 5-7/8 x 7 x 3-3/8 It comes with many cables. I laid mine out on a table separating them into matching cables to make things easier. Below are the cables it comes with: 1 PCIE 5 video card power cable (This cable seems to have heavier and slightly thicker wires than the rest) 2 PCIE 6pin + 2pin that have a double split end 4 PCIE 6pin + 2pin that have a single end. 4 Sata power cables with 4 power connections each. 2 Regular molex power cables with 4 power connections each 2 CPU Power cables 1 Motherboard 24pin power cable Plus the power supply cable itself, of course.
