Slick AIO!

DEEPCOOL Castle 360EX, Addressable RGB AIO Liquid CPU Cooler, Anti-Leak Technology Inside, Cable Controller and 5V ADD RGB 3-Pin Motherboard Control, TR4/AM4 Supported LGA 1700 Compatible
DEEPCOOL Castle 360EX, Addressable RGB AIO Liquid CPU Cooler, Anti-Leak Technology Inside, Cable Controller and 5V ADD RGB 3-Pin Motherboard Control, TR4/AM4 Supported LGA 1700 Compatible

Pros: Keeps CPU (i9-9900k / O.C. @ 5.0 Ghz) temp around 30-32° C at idle and between 50-51° C under load.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Highly recommend!

Great RAM!

G.SKILL TridentZ RGB Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800) Desktop Memory Model F4-3600C16D-16GTZRC
G.SKILL TridentZ RGB Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800) Desktop Memory Model F4-3600C16D-16GTZRC

Pros: XMP profile clocked to advertised speed flawlessly. Great diffused RGB as usual for G. Skill Trident Z.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: I will be purchasing another kit to bring my grandson's rig up to 32gb.

Definitely solid for storage.

Team Group T-Force VULCAN 2.5" 1TB SATA III 3D NAND Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) T253TV001T3C301
Team Group T-Force VULCAN 2.5" 1TB SATA III 3D NAND Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) T253TV001T3C301

Pros: Great overall experience with this drive. I get 561 MB/s sequential read & 522 MB/s write speeds across the board for all 3 of these that I own. Not shabby at all.

Cons: None, so far.

Overall Review: I own 3 of these drives now and can honestly say that they are a solid choice for storage. I have yet to use one as a boot drive. I prefer M.2 NVMe for boot duties. I will be purchasing a couple more in the near future for upcoming Christmas builds for my Grandson & Mother-In-Law. I will use those T-Force Vulcan drives for booting both new systems and report my findings. I have been partial to Samsung's SSD drives for quite a while but Team Group is starting to win me over!

Excellent thermal paste from Noctua.

Noctua NT-H2 3.5g, Thermal Computer Paste incl. 3 Cleaning Wipes (3.5g)

Pros: Dropped my wife's temperature on her 9900k by 3-4°C. She was idling at 35-36°C with stock paste on her NZXT Kraken X63. Now 31-32°C after NT-H2 application. Haven't checked what loaded temps look like yet. I have her locked down at 4.8GHz on all cores at the moment. I want to OC her to 5GHz and benchmark to compare with my 9900k system that will also have some Noctua paste applied to replace my Deepcool Castle 360EX stock paste. I will update after benchmarks are complete.

Cons: None!

Overall Review: Works great and not terribly expensive considering the quantity that you receive. If you have multiple Threadripper systems to repaste, you may want to buy a couple of tubes.

Excellent performer as usual.

SAMSUNG 970 EVO PLUS M.2 2280 1TB PCIe Gen 3.0 x4, NVMe 1.3 V-NAND Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-V7S1T0B/AM

Pros: Purchased this drive for my wife's rig and it does not disappoint. I had previously purchased one for my Asus G752VL about a year ago from the blue and yellow building. Immediately impressed with its performance. Once we started our dual system build in the Phanteks 719, I move mine into the ATX build and purchased another for the mini ITX build. Super fast and reliable. Would definitely purchase again.

Cons: None really except it's a little on the pricey side but well worth the beans.

Overall Review: If you want speed and reliability and don't mind spending a little extra for the quality packed inside this stick of gum sized drive, pull the trigger and buy it. You can thank me later.

Excellent!

G.SKILL TridentZ RGB Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800) Desktop Memory Model F4-3600C16D-32GTZRC

Pros: Pairs well with my i9-9900k and my Z390 Aorus Master MoBo.

Cons: None

Overall Review: So far I have it clocked to 3700 Mhz and same timings from out of the box installation with no issues. I will be attempting slightly higher OC with tighter timings in the near future but for now, I'm satisfied.

4gb 2 X 2gb Pc2-5300u RAM for Optiplex 330 upgrade.

Original order arrived on time but produced 1 bad DIMM so I contacted StarMicro via email. The next day I had a return label in my inbox, postage paid. When they received the defective DIMM, they set up delivery of a fresh one, same day! Of course USPS from California to Louisiana took a few days but was tracked from there to here and arrived on time. The fresh DIMM worked flawlessly! I was able to finish the upgrade on one of my friends old Optiplex 330 today. They are really excited! Thank you, StarMicro! Outstanding service and great communication. Excellent seller. I highly recommend!
