Most Favorable Review

Excellent card and feels high quality. Never goes over 70C on the new BIOS.

GIGABYTE Radeon RX 5600 XT 6GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 x16 ATX Graphics Card GV-R56XTGAMING OC-6GD
GIGABYTE Radeon RX 5600 XT 6GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 x16 ATX Graphics Card GV-R56XTGAMING OC-6GD

Pros: - Good Cooling Solution - Backplate feels solid - Easy to update to new BIOS

Cons: - None as of now

Overall Review: This is my first time buying a GIGABYTE card and so far so good. I'm impressed with the build quality. The card stays under 70C no matter what game I am playing on the new BIOS. It will boost in the high 1600's and low 1700's all day long. The only problem is how AMD decided to release a new BIOS last minute which didn't give vendors enough time to have all their cards on this new BIOS version. However it is very easy to update the bios on this card.

Extremely Binned Samsung B-Die. Fully stable XMP for X470 Taichi and 3900X

G.SKILL Trident Z Royal Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800) Desktop Memory Model F4-3600C14D-16GTRSB

Pros: - Beautiful looking RAM - Very Bright

Cons: - None so far

Overall Review: This ram is stable at XMP and also tweaked timings 3600MHz 14-14-14-28-44. I encoded 5 videos which took about 2 hours and it was completely stable as well.

The best RX 5700 XT out right now

Pros: It's THICC Absolutely beautiful Powerhouse

Cons: None

Overall Review: This card stays under 70C in a well ventilated case no matter what you're doing. XFX did a very good job with this design and in my opinion it's the best 5700XT out right now.

Works flawlessly on XMP with Z390 ASUS ROG Maximus XI Hero (Wi-Fi)

Team T-Force XTREEM 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 4133 (PC4 33000) Desktop Memory Model TXKD416G4133HC18FDC01

Pros: XMP Works Stable High Quality

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: I decided to give the Team T-Force XTREEM memory a try. Even though my motherboard doesn't have these on its QVL list I bought them anyways just to see if I could get XMP to work. Low and behold they work flawlessly. I went from 3200MHz CL16 to these and notice FPS increases in game. These are paired with a 9900KS and 2080Ti.

Beautiful and quite cooler.

Pros: This reminds me of a Dark Rock cooler. I have this on my old i5 3570k and it keeps it cool compared to the old cooler. Idle temps are around 35-40 idle at 4.2ghz and during prime 95 it only reaches into the low 70s. (Ivy Bridge runs hot). Fits perfectly on the Z77 Asrock board. I didn’t know thermal paste was already included, that was nice.

Cons: None so far

Beautiful Ram with RGB

G.SKILL TridentZ RGB Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model F4-3200C16D-16GTZR

Pros: You can tell by picking these up that they are high quality. Paired with X470 Taichi and 2700x Runs at 3200mhz CL16 with no problem on my configuration. Just set XMP and all is well for me. The RGB on these sticks are beautiful. Probably one of the best looking ram sticks out now.

Cons: None I can think of
