Pros: Great performance Stable Quiet (quiet fans and no coil whine)

Overall Review: I've always had good luck with Gigabyte cards, with my previous two cards (a GTX 480 and a GTX 980) exceeding 5 years each in frontline service. While I couldn't afford top of the line this time around, this card has so far lived up to my expectations, giving me ray-tracing and superior performance. So far, so good.

Pros: Inexpensive, good brand name.

Cons: 1 stick DOA, killed my motherboard. Immediately after testing, my system started having problems. At first I thought they were just minor glitches resulting from having a 2-year-old Windows install, but within a few days they escalated to the point where I am now looking at replacing my entire motherboard and system memory.

Overall Review: I had absolutely zero hardware problems prior to this, and had changed nothing about my system either before or after attempting to use this memory. I have been building systems for 9 years and can honestly say this memory killed my system. Buyer beware!

Pros: Great speed Nodes will talk to each other and daisy chain

Cons: No wired network option for the satellite notes. Would be nice if they could be tied in directly in those areas that have wired networking.

Overall Review: For the price, it's a great setup. The previous reviewer obviously placed the nodes too far apart for them to properly backchannel through each other. This fixed my Ring cameras which had poor connection and terrible lag.

Pros: True Ryzen performance Reasonably powerful integrated graphics

Cons: Wraith Spire cooler uses screws instead of the standard bracket system

Overall Review: Many people remember the original A-Series, which weren't great in either the CPU or GPU department; they were functionally sound, but not competitive overall. This sacrifices nothing in the CPU department while also giving you a reasonably capable GPU. It's the perfect combo for a workstation that's not intended for gaming but needs to be quite fast overall. The one complaint I have is that the Wraith Spire cooler does not use the standard clamping bracket attachment system, but instead forces you to remove the brackets from the board and screw the heatsink directly to the back plate. This adds a degree of difficulty and increases the risk of damage to the board.

Pros: Works flawlessly Good value

Cons: None

Overall Review: G.Skill has, for a number of years, produced good-quality RAM at an affordable price. While they do tend to lag a bit behind when new technology comes out, once they catch up they blow it out of the park. I put this RAM in a Mini-ITX build. I ordered two sets for two identical builds, and had no problems with either.

Pros: Insanely fast Good capacity Good value

Cons: None

Overall Review: You'd think that, given this is only an 860 and not a 960 or 970, it would be noticeably slower or not much faster than an 860 SATA drive. No, this thing is lightning fast. Windows boots in mere seconds. I have a 970 EVO Plus in my own machine and this thing surprised me at how insanely fast it is. You won't be disappointed in this.

Ordered early Monday morning. Item did not actually ship until Friday (despite being labeled as shipped on Thursday), and then via the slowest possible means. Contacted the company on Wednesday to inquire about the delay but they never responded. The item did not arrive until Thursday of the following week, taking 10 days to arrive from the time of order to time of delivery.

Can't say enough good about this relatively new brand. Way better than certain other more-established ones.
