Most Favorable Review

Relatively inexpensive for 32GB of CL16 3600

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

Pros: Booted with default D.O.C.P settings without issue.

Cons: Dual rank means timings won't be as tight as single rank.

Overall Review: Pairing these sticks with a 3600X on an ASUS TUF X570 board. These are Hynix DJR dual rank sticks. I was able to use version the DRAM Calculator for Ryzen (v1.7.3) to tighten the timings with SAFE settings. My latency is ~69ns in tests. tCL: 16 tRCDWR: 16 tRCDRD: 19 tRP: 21 tRAS: 36 tRC: 58 tRRDS: 6 tRRDL: 8 tFAW: 34 tWTRS: 4 tWTRL: 12 tWR: 24 tRDRD SCL: 5 tWRWR SCL: 5 tRFC: 486 tCWL: 16 tRTP: 10 tRDWR: 9 tWRRD: 4 tWRWR SC: 1 tWRWR SD: 7 tWRWR DD: 7 tRDRD SC: 5 tRDRD DD: 5 tCKE: 1 DRAM Voltage: 1.35v SOC Voltage: 1.1v Power Down mode: Disabled Ger Down mode: Enabled procODT: 43.6 RTT_NOM: OFF RTT_WR: RZQ/3 RTT_PARK: RZQ/1 CAD_BUS ClkDrv: 24 CAD_BUS AddrCmdDrv: 20 CAD_BUS CsOdtDrv: 24 CAD_BUS CkeDrv: 24

Antec NeoPower 550 550 W ATX12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: Component cables, low price, brand name.

Cons: DOA, maybe.

Overall Review: I ordered this power supply to replace a working Antec 480 Watt supply. I recently purchased a GeCube 1950XT for my aging AGP system. (My rig was turning off during the middle of games so I suspected my supply was up to snuff.) I could not get this supply to boot my Soltek board. I tried for a couple of hours making sure it wasn't some other component, but it just wouldn't give me a solid LED for power. I put the old Antec back in and it worked fine. Go figure.

Awesome Memory

Pros: Extra low latency. Extra high bandwidth. Out of box compatible with water cooling systems. Low cost after MIR.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: I bought this kit to replace my old OCZ 1333 Platinum kits. I was running a 4x1 GB setup and my ASUS P5E3 Premium just didn't like four sticks. It would just lock up at random times. With this memory I was able to overclock the FSB to 400 (from 333) MHz. This bumped my Intel Q9450 from 2.66 to 3.2 GHz. The memory says to run 1.9 volts, but mine is stable at 1.8 volts. I ran Prime95 for a few hours with a single problem. You really can't go wrong with this kit, especially for the price.

Great for coding

Pros: I use this monitor at work as a development box. I can fit all sorts of code on the screen with this LCD. Easy setup and positioning.

Cons: The screen was so big I had to get the light on my cube removed to fit it in.
