Most Favorable Review

Exceptional memory

G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model F4-3200C14Q-32GVK
G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model F4-3200C14Q-32GVK

Pros: - Worked out of the box with a 6800k on a MSI x99a Carbon mobo - Very fast with lots of headroom for overclocking - Looks sexy

Cons: None

Overall Review: I did a full pass with memtest to make sure they were good to go. XMP took them to 2666 at 14 cas without any CPU overclocking.

Most Critical Review

Good Cooling, Terrible Installing

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler, 4 CDC Heatpipes, 120mm PWM Fan, Aluminum Fins for AMD Ryzen/Intel LGA1200/1151
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler, 4 CDC Heatpipes, 120mm PWM Fan, Aluminum Fins for AMD Ryzen/Intel LGA1200/1151

Pros: + Keeps i7 CPU very cool + All copper bottom + Variable fan very quiet I am very pleased with the results of the cooler after it has been installed.

Cons: HARDEST CPU COOLER INSTALL I HAVE EVER HAD TO DO. The pictures were the only thing to go by and they didn't always make it clear what exactly to do. Even after you figured out what you are supposed to do, the actually screwing down the fan is a pain to get everything aligned correctly. Also the fan I can only put on one side or it will block memory.

Overall Review: I like how cool it keeps the computer, but after installing it once, I would never buy another one to go through that pain again. ( I have installed over a dozen CPU coolers on the LGA 1155 socket up til now, this one was twice as difficult as any others.) Look around for an easier one, but if this is the best for the price (which is why I got it) be prepared....be prepared

Went bad after two years

G.SKILL TridentZ Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model F4-3200C16D-32GTZKW
G.SKILL TridentZ Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model F4-3200C16D-32GTZKW

Overall Review: After two years of use started noticing games crashing suddenly. Ran memtest and in first 30 seconds started showing errors. Giving 2 eggs because at least G.Skills is usually good about their RMA, but this particular product is sub par.

Affordable ECC ram!

NEMIX RAM 64GB (2X32GB) DDR4 3200MHZ PC4-25600 2Rx8 1.2V 288-PIN ECC Unbuffered UDIMM KIT
NEMIX RAM 64GB (2X32GB) DDR4 3200MHZ PC4-25600 2Rx8 1.2V 288-PIN ECC Unbuffered UDIMM KIT

Pros: - It exists (only 2x32GB Unbuffered ECC 3200 I could find!) - Identified as ECC memory on AMD Ryzen x570 board - Speed is as expected

Cons: - They are a bit tall, had to scooch up my cooler fan on my Noctua but they did fit - No profiles showing up in BIOS

Overall Review: I am using this in an ASRock X570 PHANTOM GAMING 4 with a Ryzen 5900x and they are working great!

Exactly what you expect

Pros: Lights up Spins Easy to install

Cons: Serial number is on a white tag on the cable, really?

Pros: - Word is new Word. It works better than ever and finally looks stylish.

Cons: - no major issues

Overall Review: - Glad it switched to subscription instead of randomly wondering when new big version and changes would come out and have to re-buy.
