What a great cooler!

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: Price Looks Sound Level Cooling Performance Does not require the use of software Cool RGB

Cons: None

Overall Review: I replaced a Noctua D15 with this unit because as the CPU was loaded/unloaded the fans would spin up and down and it had a high pitched whine that sounded like a model airplane. I had no issues with the thermals of the Noctua on my 3950X but gained 2-3C over it with the Castle 360 running push/pull fans. My PC is almost inaudible now and when you really let it cook with Prime95 the fans barely make any noise. It was missing a small screw that mounts the bracket to the pump housing but i sourced one from Ace hardware for $.40.

Not the best out of the box ram for Ryzen

Pros: Looks Great 4 Matched Dimms Samsung B-die Really Good Ram Fantastic RGB

Cons: Price is Insane Gets outperformed marginally by it's 3200Mhz brother @ XMP

Overall Review: Great Ram but the price is hard to stomach. Turns out Ryzen like's all the first timing numbers to be the same and even numbers. B die is B die.

Good cooler but not great!

Noctua NH-D15 chromax.black, Dual-Tower CPU cooler (140mm, Black)
Noctua NH-D15 chromax.black, Dual-Tower CPU cooler (140mm, Black)

Pros: Good Thermals, cooled 3950X fine in my case

Cons: Noise, overall level was low but had an annoying buzz when the fans cycled Size, but that is what makes it cool so well Blocks top PCI-E slot on Asus Crosshair III Formula X570 motherboard

Overall Review: I could barely get to 4 eggs on this one. The thermals are good but when this thing spins up it sounds like a model airplane and was hard to listen to with how quit the rest of the system is. I replaced it with a Deepcool Castle 360 AIO unit in push pull that is virtually silent and runs 2-3C cooler and couldn't be happier.

Really Good Stuff!

Pros: Runs great @ XMP with X570 Asus Formula and 3950X Looks Incredible RGB works great with Asus Aura Samsung B-die

Cons: Price is high but if you want the best memory for daily use on your Ryzen CPU this is it!

Overall Review: Overclocked this to 3733 running Dram calc for Ryzen and it benchmarks great. Scored 3440 on memory test for passmark. Buy this kit!

Pros: Exceeds advertised speed Great price
