Most Favorable Review

Perfect pairing and OC with Ryzen 1600

HyperX Fury 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4 2400MHz DRAM (Desktop Memory) CL15 1.2V DIMM (288-pin) HX424C15FBK2/8 (Intel XMP, AMD Ryzen)
HyperX Fury 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4 2400MHz DRAM (Desktop Memory) CL15 1.2V DIMM (288-pin) HX424C15FBK2/8 (Intel XMP, AMD Ryzen)

Pros: No issues posting, passed Memtest and Passmark tests with 0 errors, got it to run at 2666 mhz 1.2v as advertised and stable with Ryzen 1600 oc @ 3.8ghz. Heat spreaders look great and keeps temps pretty cool.

Cons: Doesn't have RGB lighting but that's not a problem.

Overall Review: Will be buying another pair of these 8gb kits to complete 16gb. As always thank you Kingston HyperX, your memory modules never fail me since DDR2 years. I have only used HyperX memory since 2007 and will continue to support them because they work as advertised and never crash or cause hangup's while OC for years. My newest build: MSI Tomahawk Plus B350 mobo Kingston HyperX Fury 8gb DDR4 2400 oc @ 2666mhz 1.2v Ryzen 1600 oc @ 3.8ghz

Pretty solid for 1440p and 4k

Pros: Runs really cool and quiet compared to my Gigabyte GTX 1070 windforce. The red and black backplate is pretty nice. Fits perfectly in both my Nzxt s340 and Corsair Crystal 570x cases. I needed this card to pair with an older fx8350 build that runs a curved 34” 3440x1440 monitor so I can swap the 1070 into the ryzen 1600 system. The card powers every game from league of legends and elder scrolls online to Witcher 3 and Rise of the tomb Raider with high and very high settings at max resolution so I’m very happy surprised. It isn’t a 1070 powerhouse but it definitely has the horsepower to please most people running 1080p/1440p resolutions. It does bench decently on my 4k monitor. If you don’t mind an avg fps of 35-50 on 4k then save yourself a few hundred dollars and get one of these rx 570s. Otherwise, save a little more for the 1070/1080, rx580, or vega.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: It tested very well with: Sony 55” XBR x900c 4k monitor/tv Nzxt s340 case Ryzen 1600 oc 3.9ghz HypderX 8gb ddr4 2667mhz MSI tomahawk plus b350 Mobo Corsair tx750 watt Currently running on: Corsair crystal 570x case Acer 34” 2k (3440x1440) curved monitor Amd Fx 8350 4.0ghz wraith cooler HyperX 16gb ddr3 1600mhz Gigabyte G1 970 gamer Sli mobo Corsair Vs600 watt

Solid $200 card

SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 5830 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card 100297L

Pros: Runs all tests and games solid 30 fps and higher with 1920 x 1200 resolution, 2x AA, 16x AF, dx 9/10/11, motion blur on with supportive games, tessellation on with supportive games, advance shadows on with supportive games. Used CCC 10.6, no crashes or problems yet. Runs cooler, in my system, than my friends evga gtx 460 1gb that i borrowed for a few days to test not to mention i got this for $199.99 + free shipping while he spent almost $240 after shipping. Frame differences compared to my hd 5850 1gb reference were anywhere from 12 to 27 fps using settings described above and no overclocking either card. So $200 vs $300-350 for 12-27 fps difference? I'd say that's not a bad deal. If you're a performance nut that has to squeeze out every last frame that you can, hd 5850 is very good...but pricey without breaking $350 barrier.

Cons: for $200, nothing is wrong. I did try to overclock without tweaking factory voltage but card artifact. After tweaking voltage, slight 75 mhz core / 200 mhz effective increase was stable using ati overdrive. Not bad, just tedious extra steps to do what you'd want it to do as an enthusiast.

Overall Review: The card is 1-1.5 inches longer than my sapphire hd 5850 reference design. Measure your case before consider purchasing. For those who are on a budget, this is a great card. Both gtx 460 1gb and hd 5830 1gb are solid performers with low temps and power consumptions.

HyperX 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 1066 Desktop Memory Model KHX8500D2K2/4G
HyperX 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 1066 Desktop Memory Model KHX8500D2K2/4G

Pros: Perfect performance and oc capabilities. Heatsinks work as expected. Most, if not, all ddr2 1066 modules are defaulted at 800mhz upon boot and will require minor settings in bios to achieve 1600mhz desired with proper voltage as well. With that note, modules have endured hours of benchmarks, stress tests, memtests, and gaming at 1600mhz 5-5-5-15 2T @ 2.2v with no errors. Allowed stable Intel C2Q Q9550 cpu oc from 2.83 ghz to 3.42 ghz (1333 mhz fsb to 1600 mhz fsb) so far on air cooling. Quite happy with results.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: I have not used Kingston since 2003 after their earlier HyperX series launched for DDR 400 so giving these modules a try has been a very good experience so far. They replaced 4 sticks of Corsair Dominators DHX series 6gb worth that have all died on me within the same week after 10 months of use. Not saying Corsair are bad since I've purchased their xms gaming rams from ddr 400 to ddr2 800 to ddr2 1066 and ddr3 1600 over the last 7 years installed in over ten systems. Never have any of them gone bad until the dominators. If these HyperX modules continue to do what they do, I will easily recommend them to future customers and purchase more for personal systems. Thank you Kingston for delivering amazing products and NewEgg for painless and quick service as always. Keep up the good work.

Oh So Good - Excellent Samsung quality

SAMSUNG TOC T260HD Rose Black 25.5" 5ms HDMI Widescreen HDTV Monitor 300 cd/m2 DC 10000:1(1000:1) Build in TV Tuner & Dolby Digital Surround Sound

Pros: tv tuner, 10,000:1 DC, 2x HDMI, gloss black/rose red bezel, remote control :D, screen size, beautiful 1080p blu rays, very sturdy and doesn't "wobble" when i bump my desk. 5 eggs & Highly recommend any of the ToC series (t220, t240, t260) all of them are beautiful in both looks & functionality.

Cons: 16:10 aspect ratio instead of 16:9 for movies but not a problem. Definitely a dust magnet and I guess the built-in 3 watts speakers are a tad weak for certain movies and music but I have Logitech z-2300 set for audio ;)

Overall Review: The T260HD is huge if you sit as close as I do (approximately 3-4 ft) and it has a nice weight to it. Picture quality is as should be from Samsung and their ToC series monitors/HDTV's. I sold my T220HD to upgrade to this one and this is quite nice. Connected my ps3 for blu rays via hdmi, even though native resolution is 1920x1200, 1080p movies scales pretty nicely and looks phenominal.

SAPPHIRE 100282SR Radeon HD 5850 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card w/ATI Eyefinity
SAPPHIRE 100282SR Radeon HD 5850 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card w/ATI Eyefinity

Pros: Idle temp avg @ 43 C and load temp avg @ 52 C. I just upgraded from Xfx 9800 gt and Left 4 Dead @ 1680 x 1050 with max AA/AF and high settings went from avg 75 frames (9800 gt) to avg 180 frames (5850). Card is not loud at all. I don't even hear it compared to the 9800 while it's idle (fan speed 21%) or under load (fan speed 28%). Kudos to Sapphire for an amazing product and Ati for improving their reference cooler and smaller nm chipset. 3dMark Vantage score on High settings went from ~H3400 (old system athlon 64 x2 6000+, 4gb corsair xms2 ddr2 800, xfx 9800gt sli) to ~H10000 (current system w/ hd 5850)

Cons: Card is about 10" long and almost hits my hard drive bays by an inch. Good thing I didn't buy the 5870 or else I wouldn't be able to install the card without cutting parts of the case. Drivers from cd are okay but Sapphire has released a hot fix patch driver on their website.

Overall Review: I guess my temperatures have a lot to do with how cool I keep the case ventilated and cold room temperature.
