Pros: - solid, reliable RAM - gorgeous RGB effects

Cons: - not the best timings, but I don't think that matters as much for Ryzen 3rd gen. - RGB effects require iCUE software. Doesn't stay on reliably without it.

Overall Review: UPDATE: I have this RAM running stable at C16 (16-20-20-40). It doesn't make much of a difference for benchmarks (I don't think Ryzen 3rd gen cares all that much about timings) but it works. I bought four sticks in two separate transactions, so it's not like they're binned/matched or anything. I'm pretty happy with this RAM. I could try to tighten the timings further, or maybe raise the speed a bit, but I'm satisfied with what it's doing now. This RAM runs perfectly under XMP, which it should, since that is its advertised speed, but as we all know, not all of them do. The timings aren't the best, but looking at Ryzen 3 benchmarks with various timings and clocks, there doesn't seem to be very much gain going to even C14 at 3600 with Ryzen 3rd gen, and that would be absurdly expensive. So spending nearly double on C16 or 17 just doesn't make any sense.

Pros: The memory itself works well, and if you like unicorn vomit, the RGB is fine.

Cons: The Trident RGB software sucks.

Overall Review: The RGB worked fine, then it stopped working, and nothing I do can get it to work again. I'm sure there's some magic trick I can do involving animal sacrifice and voodoo, but I'll just return it and buy another brand.

Pros: - works at advertised speed and timings

Cons: - does not want to fit in DIMM slots! (but ultimately does) - RGB is very dim compared to Corsair - RGB software from g.skill flat out doesn't do anything if you have any other RGB software running

Overall Review: This is good RAM, it ran at the advertised speed/timings under XMP the first time around, no problems. That said... These are slightly over-sized and it varies from module to module. I have four. Of the four, one was really hard to put in on two separate motherboards (ASUS ROG Gaming B450 and Aorus Master X570), one was slightly hard to put in and two clicked right in. Ultimately they went in and they worked fine in both boards (I've stuck them into my backup PC on the ASUS board)...it's just annoying that G.Skill can't get their production tolerances in order. I've been building PCs since 1990 or thereabouts (my first build was a 486DX50) and I have never seen this before. Usually RAM clicks right in. As for the RGB, it works fine and looks good, though it's very dim compared to Corsair Vengeance Pro. The software you download from G.Skill is worthless, it doesn't do anything to this RAM at all. Probably because I have RGB Fusion installed (but not running!!) and because I dared to adjust the RGB with that first. The good news is that it works fine with RGB Fusion, but that's really bad software with very limited effects, so if you have a Gigabyte board you may want to look elsewhere or at least try harder than I did to get the g.skill software working (I didn't try very hard). All that said, it's still great RAM at a great price. If it were not for the low price, I'd give it three stars, possibly two, because of the fit issue. As is, I can put up with it.

Pros: - stays remarkably cool - high clock speed - no issues whatsoever

Cons: - lack of illuminated logo maybe? But I wasn't expecting it for the price.

Overall Review: This is supposed to be a "budget" 2080 Ti (lol 1100 dollar budget card), but I tend to think of it as a "no frills" version instead. And this card doesn't need frills. I've had it for a couple of months now and have experience no issues whatsoever. First, the cooler, while being only a two fan model, works remarkably well. I have never seen this card above 72C and I run it hard (4K gaming, maxed out settings, etc.). I have GPU-Z on a second monitor while I play games and I often see the clock speed above 2 GHz, and usually over 1700 and quite often in the 1900 range. I don't know if GPU-Z is over-reporting the clock speed, but that's what it shows. And this temp/performance has been the same in two different cases so far, so it's not just that I have a very cool case or anything. Aside from RGB lighting, I don't see how this card could be any better. I don't even see the point of water cooling this card, or going to a three fan cooler, since it never goes above 72C. Maybe I just ended up with an exceptional card, or maybe they are all like this. Would I buy this again? Absolutely. No regrets.

Pros: Well built, beautiful, works perfectly.

Cons: Bad documentation.

Overall Review: I haven't had a single problem with this board. Although I still haven't quire figured out which m.2 slot to use. I'm still on a 2nd gen Ryzen waiting for my 3900x (just shipped!), but so far, the only slot I can get maximum gen 3 nvme drive reads and writes (crystalmark) is the bottom one, the one that disables 2 sata ports. The middle slot is under my GPU and the top slot tops out at 1.3 GBps or thereabouts. I had the mouse stuttering problem some reviewers mentioned, or thought I did. Turns out that this board puts out some sort of interference that messes with the Logitech unifying receiver. I used a USB extension cable to move it closer to the mouse and the stuttering disappeared. This may be what people are experiencing, or it may not be. The bios is not the greatest, but it has all the settings you need. I wish you could set the RGB stuff in the bios and not have to mess with RGB fusion, but, you can't. Such is life. I've had this board for over a month, and it's working great. I've used the clear CMOS function once, after enabling the ultra fast boot option, and it did exactly what it was supposed to do. I would totally recommend this board.

Pros: cheap

Cons: Unreliable, customer service number goes to voicemail an they haven't called back after two messages...so much for warranty.

Overall Review: This motherboard was put in a budget PC. Worked fine for a little while then died. I left two messages with customer service and they haven't responded. I guess I won't be buying anymore Foxconn products.
