Most Favorable Review

Pros: I can make phone calls with these and I get excellent voice and audio with them. They last for 8 hours straight of music playing and are still not dead. I bought some of the magnetic charging cables and put one of the plugs in and just put my phone and headsets on my desk and they both charge quick and don't have to keep pulling the charging cables in and out. I use these at work and for gaming, their really awesome (I bought two pairs, one is always connected to my PC).

Cons: None so far, I will update if i come across any problems but after a month using them no problems at all.

Overall Review: A great product. Mine were on sale here on newegg and I got them half off so i bought two pairs for the price of one.

Most Critical Review

It's an ok video card when it's not locking up or having video flickers

Pros: I get very good frame rates with this low-level budget video card but it's nothing impressive. My Saphire RX 5500XT gives about the same performance overall. If you can get this for cheap buy it if you are upgrading from something very old but stick with HDMI monitors because it has terrible screen flicker and locks up randomly if you try to use the DVI port on the card. I believe the card just can't handle my brand-new Spectre 165hz gaming monitor and that is a sad thing.

Cons: I get random screen flickers where my monitor shuts off and then comes back on again. I've hooked it up to a Samsung HDMI port monitor and switched it to my new 165hz Spectre monitor and it does it on both. I get random pc lock ups now out of nowhere with this card installed as well. I'm using a brand new EVGA 850-watt platinum power supply on an ASUS rog strix B550 motherboard and this didn't happen when I had my Saphire 5500XT card in my system. ( I know the power supply is overkill for this system but it was only $100 on prime day).

Overall Review: I would say this is definitely a budget gaming card and not something I would brag about. I wouldn't really recommend it unless you are really hurting for money and can't get your hands on a Saphire 6600 card which from what I've read are performing really well.

Slow AF SSD drive

Intel 660p Series M.2 2280 512GB PCIe 3.0 x4, NVMe 3D2 QLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SSDPEKNW512G8X1
Intel 660p Series M.2 2280 512GB PCIe 3.0 x4, NVMe 3D2 QLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SSDPEKNW512G8X1

Pros: I bought this in February with my Tomahawk B450 board and had a problem installing it at first but that was easily handled by booting to my older SSD once with this installed and then rebooting and setting this as my primary drive (No idea why that worked but it did so I won't complain about that). Nice fast drive compared to my 3 year old 512g SanDisk SSD.

Cons: It doesn't copy filed from other drives at all and even if it does it's slow as molasses. I wouldn't recommend this drive at all. It's August now and I've read that Intel has already discontinued these after only a year in production. Not a good sign since Intel is having problems all over the place like AMD used to back in the early 2000's and they barely survived as a company. Save your money and buy a Samsung or WD drive.

Overall Review: Got it really cheap on a Newegg promotion and I should have known not to go buy these after all the time's I thought I was getting a great deal on Newegg and I just got junk they were trying to get off their shelves to make room for new junk. I avoided getting a Samsung myself since they had so many problems being recognized in the B350 boards and I thought what the heck, Intel puts out great processors and so I gave this a try. I just ordered a WD Black 1tb drive to replace this and hope it gives me a better time then this drive has.

Not a good motherboard in the long run.

Pros: It was easy to install and the drivers worked out of the box.

Cons: A lot. After I installed windows 10 I updated all the drivers and everything worked great for a few days. But of course then my computer started randomly rebooting when I was using Chrome with no error messages left in the System Event Logs other then there was an incorrect shut down detected. Not helpful at all. A week went by and it did it several more times so I re-installed windows Again from a fresh install as I did when I built the computer and it still happened so I switch to Microsoft Edge as my browser. It happened again so I removed my Intel 660p 1tb M.2 drive and I am sending it in for an RMA. I had to go to a standard SSD as my main drive and it is a noticeable difference in speed on loading games and everything else I do (a lot slower). After 29 days my sound went out on the motherboard. Did every update I could from updating the bios to drivers in windows, I even changed speakers, nothing worked. All I get now is a crackling noise and nothing else so I disabled the audio on the board in the bios and moved my sound to my HD video/audio. (Just to be sure it wasn't having a problem with the HD audio I disabled that first during testing and that didn't help, I then re-enabled the HD audio). I am going to be ordering a B550 from Asrock to replace this board because I ordered my wife a B450 when I ordered this board for myself and she has no problems at all and she has every single part that I have from memory to M.2 drives to power supplies I made them all the exact same. She loves her motherboard because it has more RGB then this one but i didn't want that so I went with something that I though was a really top of the line B450 but I was proven wrong. I will be RMA'ing this board once I get another to replace it since I can't go without a PC for over a month or I'll go stir crazy with being stuck inside due to Covid19.

Overall Review: Sadly I will be moving away from MSI from now on. This has left a very sour taste in my mouth. I have built computer for over 30 years and I haven't had this much trouble with a motherboard other then one DOA from a company that no longer exists.

Good video card, not great for the price I paid, but a good low range card.

Pros: It plays all current titles.

Cons: The information on this card is deceptive sales at it's best. It says it's a PCIe 4.0 card, but unless you really do a lot of digging further you won't find much more then that. I didn't realize that until after I watched a video on a another 5500xt video card by Steve from Gamers Nexus that all 5500xt cards are on x8 speed not x16. I went through every single 5500xt video card on Newegg and found on 1 out of the 14 found actually said PCIe 4.0 x8, they all said just PCIe 4.0. This one little omission doesn't seem very important until you understand the real problem with it. With the card being only x8 it means it's not really a future ready card with more powerful systems. If say you upgrade your motherboard to a B550, you should probably upgrade your video card to a 5600xt or better to get the full use of that PCIe 4.0 x16 slot to get full video quality. Save your money and get a PCIe 4.0 x16 card if you want a card that's going to be usable for the foreseeable future and not just some low end card that gives you OK, but not great, graphics.

Overall Review: OK card that's definitely low end, and not really any kind of an upgrade if you already own a RX580 or RX590. Go with a 5600xt or 5700 if you are an AMD fanboy like I am and can wait a few more weeks to save up the extra cash.

Not a bad product

Pros: It works OK, basically it's as cheaply made as possible to be able to sell so cheap. It does work but it's definitely not bling of any type.

Cons: Took 2 weeks to get to me, even though I had the rest of the parts in 3 days. So I had to re-open my case to install it and it's very picky as to where you place it to get it to stand correctly.

Overall Review: Not a bad product but nothing great really.

Not a quick delivery

If you live in the USA don't order from this company if you need an item any time soon. This is a 1 ounce item and it took almost 3 weeks to get to me. Not a quick turnaround.

An ok product. Nothing to write home about

Nothing bad about this product other then it takes a bit of time to ship. Don't expect it overnight or within 5 days even.

Excellent Ram

My only complaint would be there are very few ways to configure the RGB for the ram. I have a MSI Tomahawk Max motherboard but the MSI software wouldn't set up this RGB ram. I had to download and install the corsair software to set it up which is crummy.
