Pros: Installed with no issues or crowding from my CM V8 cpu cooler. Defaulted to 1333 on my Asus p67LE mobo, however a quick fix in bios got them running at the rated 1600.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Got these at 79$ after rebate, can't beat that! Used Patriot for my last two builds, no issues with DOA either times, great company and memory.

Pros: Packed with features (solid backplate, excellent audio, 4 nvme slots that don't lane share with GPU, 6 onboard direct SATA ports, front panel 20gbs USB C, etc).

Cons: None (maybe could have included some more extras in the box like additional nvme thermal pads for the heatsinks and whatnot but at this price I think they offer more than enough compared to other brands).

Overall Review: Disclaimer: This review is for the ASRock review rebate program. Only have good things to say about this. The board is fairly priced compared to other brands especially considering all the features you get; it's easily the best high end board value-wise. I switched over from an Asus z790 + Intel 13700k to AMD for the first time in like 15 years or something, and the process was painless with Asrock. I used bios flashback to update bios to the latest beta version and had no issues with the 9800x3d getting to post. I had 4 nvmes loaded in all slots (1x4tb and 3x2tb), cl30 6000 DDR5, and a 4090 hooked up during the first power on and again there were no issues getting it to post. I got Windows 24h2 installed quickly and everything has been working smoothly since. I've also got 6x20tb HDDs hooked up to the onboard SATA ports, and while that does increase boot times a fair amount there are no issues with them aside from maybe 15 second longer boot times (without the HDDs the boot times are a bit slower than my almost instant z790 board but still very fast, nowhere near as bad as I was reading they might be). So far so good, this is my first time using Asrock and I can easily recommend them. I hope bios and driver updates continue to be solid (knock on wood) since I plan to keep this platform/motherboard for at least 5 more years.

Pros: I prefer the plain/simplistic design. You can open up a lot of room for airflow or water cooling if you don't need the removable 3.5"/5.25" bays. Even with the moduvents installed and the front door closed my 2600k and 780 ti stay cool and quiet with 2 front intake and 1 exhaust 140mm fans.

Cons: Entirely a cosmetic complaint but the case does look a bit strange when you've got one or two moduvents removed but still have one or two installed.(I keep all of them on, so It's not a big deal to me)

Overall Review: I added another front 140mm prolimatech blue vortex fan and I actually like it better than the included fans, it's just as quiet but moves a bit more air.

Pros: Very affordable considering the performance. Less noise and more airflow than the default fans in my Fractal Design R5.

Cons: No cons yet after a few months of use.

Overall Review: I like it so much I'm replacing the other two default fans in my Fractal R5 with these!

Pros: A fantastic card, runs all the current games at 1920x1080 maxed, and with 2gb of Memory it gives the option of running higher quality textures without taking a performance hit in frame rate. Runs at 40C idle and about 60C at full load with stock cooling. At 244$ after rebate, this was the best deal out there at the time.

Cons: Nothing.

Overall Review: Keep in mind this card is very long (just at 11in) so if you have a mid tower you may not be able to fit it. I had to modify (cut out a square where the drive bay and HDD cage meet) my CM Storm Scout to get the card to fit in the case.

Pros: Super fast, averaging 240MB/s in Raid 0. They're quiet as well. Setup was easy.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Got two of these for just over 100$, can't beat that. Samsung HDs are reliable. I would recommend these over a WD or Seagate any day.
