Awesome RAM
Pros: After Failing with Corsair Vengeance Kits twice I decided to try this. I haven't had any issue.
Cons: none
Overall Review: It works with the Asus RGB software out the box. I didn't have to program it. It just syncs. MOBO is Asus Prime Pro
Video Rescheduler Error
Pros: The XMP Equivalent on AMD works.
Cons: The 1st package I received did not work. I kept getting the error that no one wants to see. 1 stick failed outright(until I ruined my RMA by removing the heatsink. It only lasted a day lol).
Overall Review: I realize now that both sticks were defective. My PC wouldn't boot with the old stick combined with the new(I bought this ram again in an attempt to not waste what I thought was 1 good stick. That would have given me 12 Gigs of Ram). I wish I didn't remove the heatsink so I could get back to 16Gigs of Memory but 8G seems fine atm.
I got one....
Pros: and other people didn't. Their suffering has provided more joy than the actual performance. I'm a very small and petty person. /shrug
Overall Review: 10/10 Elitism rating.
Can't get a 3080?...
Pros: This is the Card you want. It's as powerful, Cheaper on average, and with the introduction FSR the DLSS advantage isn't as prominent. FSR will be more prominent as adoption rates grow. You will see "surprise" FSR implementation in something like Cyberpunk 2077 because you can bet they want to move more Copies(Shareholders amirite?). This will easily handle anything you throw at it Maxed out with RT at 2k or 4K at upwards of 120fps.
Cons: To this point there hasn't been any Cons(I guess a backrub would be nice?).
Overall Review: Highly Recommended this card before FSR. It's a great buy if you have the scratch after seeing FSR. Protip: Use Fresh Rails on your Power Supply if Possible. I had an issue with mine(Power Supply not Card) that was causing Crashes every 20 minutes in Games.
Asus for the win again.
Pros: Ram worked at it's rated speed. The RGB are a nice touch and can be controlled. Excellent software Suite included.
Cons: As someone who used a Formula Z for the last 6 years I missed my post codes LCD and other buttons. Also, I don't think this board is built for manual overclocking(only one Cpu connection) but that might not be THAT big of a deal.
Overall Review: As I said in Cons this is not really a Manual OC Board imo. That said, the software can get you 4.1 or even 4.2(Ryzen 2600) if your cooling is good . You can still play with Dram voltage and timing if you want. More Other Thoughts: Asus does not have the best looking Cards for this board. I use the MSI 1070ti Titanium. Black and white shroud with RGB and most importantly, the reason it beats other Asus cards for this board aesthetically is: THE SILVER BACKPLATE WITH BLACK WRITING. All I've seen from Asus are Black Backplates. I run my GPU in the bottom slot. It's really nice looking in on it:) Edit: You can manual OC on this board. It's just not as obvious how to do it as it was on my old AM3 Asus Formula Z board. Managed to get a stable OCCT Tested 4.15 OC after I figured it out. Cooler is a Noctua ND14.
.......
Pros: Working as intended
Cons: I mounted the wrong bars first. I blame you. You can't expect me to own up to my mistakes:)
Overall Review: Would MOUNT again....lol
Shipped Game Without Key Edit
I HAVE A POST FROM THE SAME DAY THIS TITLE. THIS WAS NOT THE FAULT OF BEACH AUDIO. Apparently, someone at WB GAMES hates their job and it's not uncommon to receive a copy of Batman:AO that's missing a key. I apologize to Beach Audio.
