Most Favorable Review

The great RAMPOCALYPSE, but it's still nice ram!

V-COLOR DDR5 TUF GAMING ALLIANCE Manta XFinity 64GB (32GBx2) 6400MHz CL32 1.4V AMD EXPO SK Hynix Original IC RGB Gaming Desktop Upgrade RAM Memory Module Black (GTMXFAL3264832KWK)
V-COLOR DDR5 TUF GAMING ALLIANCE Manta XFinity 64GB (32GBx2) 6400MHz CL32 1.4V AMD EXPO SK Hynix Original IC RGB Gaming Desktop Upgrade RAM Memory Module Black (GTMXFAL3264832KWK)

Pros: It's pretty! Besides all the important statistical stuff, it looks pretty good in any motherboard. Nice RGB color, they don't look cheap at all, lit or not. Color accuracy is great! Nice compatibility, practically plug and play short of enabling EXPO. Very good speeds! 6400 cl 32!? And stable af?? That's a win right there.

Cons: AMD/ INTEL specific!! While this works perfect on my x870e taichi board and it's NOT listed on the QVL, these will not work on Intel boards, I had the opposite experience buying an Intel kit for my board. No black/ gold or black/ silver version available!? These match up great with the lights only dummy sticks they make, of which I have 2 black/ silver that look amazing. Plenty of Intel options though at time of purchase

Overall Review: Generally I'm satisfied! They operate at advertised specs and look pretty good! They do still feature a big pale white plastic strip to house the leds, so there's that, but it's not as ugly as some other quality sticks even, here's looking at you Team Force Delta! Instead they have a glossy contoured style, so even off they look decent. I really wish they had a version with the silver or gold chrome looking rgb, which is what I was trying to get in the first place... Which leads me to compatibility. Looking into V color, they do have SOME ram kits for both Intel and AMD, but not many. Initially I purchased the black/ silver dummy sticks and a black/ gold 48Gb 8200 cl40 ... XMP kit. These wouldn't even boot, let alone let me adjust speeds. I sent those back, thank you/ sorry Newegg, and got these. Yay 64gb>, meh 6400mhz<, yay cl32>, boo no gold or silver. That being said, these are NOT on my motherboard QVL! ASRock x870e Taichi has some V-Color on there, but not these. They might as well be though! Right out the gate they went through the initial learning phase pretty quick and posted fast. Flip of the EXPO switch and they were running stable at advertised speeds, no class action law suit needed thank you! The ARGB worked on any software I threw at it, SignalRGB, Polychrome etc. No v color specific software needed whatsoever! I'm going to keep cost out of the conversation for the most part. "In this economy" they're pretty competitive for what you get; pretty fast and stable AMD specific ram with some nice compatibility, looks pretty good, high capacity, and I didn't have to refinance my house (although I did get a title loan on my car... amI kidding....? Not telling lol). Probably a 4.5 stars for me here, and v color gets the benefit of rounding up to the next full number, so 5 it is! P.S. I WILL be applying rose gold one way mirror window tint to these in an attempt to imitate the black gold kit effect... wish me luck!

Most Critical Review

A day late and a dollar short.

D-Link DWA-556 Xtreme Desktop Adapter IEEE 802.11g/n PCI Express
D-Link DWA-556 Xtreme Desktop Adapter IEEE 802.11g/n PCI Express

Pros: Fast connection compared to older B/G wireless. PCIe x1 connection which might not be a pro depending on your motherboard.

Cons: Occasionally spotty connection. Inexplicably drops out and refuses to hold a connection for up to half an hour. Died just out of warranty. Included driver programming sluggish and no option to install drivers separate from connection utility.

Overall Review: Overall performance was half decent during it's operational time. Now while it can sometimes connect and the computer does recognize it, it can only maintain connection speeds of less than dial up if that and only for the moments it functions. Had it not died probably would have been worth a 4 or 3. Gave it a 2 because it did do half decent for about a year.

Soooo pretty!

V-COLOR Manta XFinity CUDIMM DDR5 RGB Filler Solution - 2X Modules - 0GB RAM - Intel Compatible - Black w/ Silver Light Rod
V-COLOR Manta XFinity CUDIMM DDR5 RGB Filler Solution - 2X Modules - 0GB RAM - Intel Compatible - Black w/ Silver Light Rod

Pros: Absolutely gorgeous when off. Really good lighting when on, shaped exactly like the rest of the series.

Cons: Little pricey for something that is literally 100% cosmetic... but have you seen what Lian Li wants for strimmer cables??

Overall Review: If you can get your hands on the black/ silver or black/ gold xfinity ddr5 for your motherboard (be careful on expo vs xmp ram here) than these are kind of an absolute must. They look amazing and blend in with an ASRock Taichi build seamlessly. The rgb looks especially good with great color accuracy, and somehow looking both bright and muted at the same time? They don't overpower, they still stand out. Synchs right up with my oem software too, nothing new to download.

Great drives for cost

KingSpec XG 7000 4TB M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 4.0x4 NVME 1.4 Speed up to 7400MB/s Write Speed Up to 6600MB/s Internal Solid State Drive for PS5 PC Desktop Laptop Game-Player Non-Heatsink
KingSpec XG 7000 4TB M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 4.0x4 NVME 1.4 Speed up to 7400MB/s Write Speed Up to 6600MB/s Internal Solid State Drive for PS5 PC Desktop Laptop Game-Player Non-Heatsink

Pros: Fast and pretty reliable honestly

Cons: Not always the FASTEST but still darn good

Overall Review: Overall I've gotten like 4 of these kingspec drives, different capacities and even a gen 5 1tb. None of them were bad, all of them were fast, all of them were way less than the other guys!

4k All the way!

KTC 42 Inch 4K OLED Gaming Monitor, 3840x2160 UHD White Monitor, 138Hz, 0.1ms(GTG), DP1.4, HDMI2.1, USB3.0, 90W USB Type-C Reverse Charging, 2 * 8W Built-in Speakers, HDR, VESA, G42P5
KTC 42 Inch 4K OLED Gaming Monitor, 3840x2160 UHD White Monitor, 138Hz, 0.1ms(GTG), DP1.4, HDMI2.1, USB3.0, 90W USB Type-C Reverse Charging, 2 * 8W Built-in Speakers, HDR, VESA, G42P5

Pros: Absolutely vibrant image and I love the size to price ratio here. 138 refresh rate is pretty nice combined with freesynch makes for a pretty smooth experience even with 4k ray tracing. Plenty of options for display settings, refresh rate fps monitoring etc and nice defaults to prevent screen burn.

Cons: For an upper end monitor I was surprised this did NOT come with a stand of any sort! For an extra $100 you can buy it separately, boo. The bezel free boarder is nice, but the OLED weight and housing design has me afraid to handle the thing. Also the power plug doesn't recess up into the back very far, so it's hard to tuck up without still poking out the bottom. Mostly trivial cons though.

Overall Review: Initially I did notice some incredibly faint vertical image shadows similar to another review I saw before buying, but it seems to have worn in and gone away with use, so hooray! Overall really happy with this screen.

Supposedly the best gaming cpu... I'm the world?

AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D - Ryzen 7 7000 Series Zen 4 8-Core 4.2 GHz - Socket AM5 120W - AMD Radeon Graphics Desktop Processor - 100-100000910WOF
AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D - Ryzen 7 7000 Series Zen 4 8-Core 4.2 GHz - Socket AM5 120W - AMD Radeon Graphics Desktop Processor - 100-100000910WOF

Pros: - Seems to run pretty cool all things considered - let's me fully utilize my rx 7900xtx card! - for average use, hardly seems to be under heavy load

Cons: - runs a little hot if Ray tracing gaming - it wasn't free?

Overall Review: For a gaming pc this cpu really kicks bu77! I've got a 3 fan liquid cooler strapped to it and on Diablo IV ultra ray tracing it's about mid 50 something degrees and only at 15-30% load. I upgraded to this from an AM3 setup on an fx-9590 which was great, but couldn't handle an RX7900xtx card without maxing out and effecting performance. I did a lot of research before jumping in to AM5 and there's a lot about how the 7800x3d cpu has the best results for gaming because of how the cores and vcache are laid out so.... whatever, it works great and I can't imagine a scenario where I'd need the extra processing power from a 7950x3d, especially given the price and surprising lower frame rates
