DOA Compatibility Issues

Patriot Viper 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model PVS34G1333LLK
Patriot Viper 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model PVS34G1333LLK

Pros: Decent Price and made in the USA.

Cons: I used this ram when I built my PC August 2008. It is not fully compatible with the 790i Ultra. It shows up as 1066mhz and you have to mess with the settings to get it to 1333mhz. I ordered a second kit 2x2GBs and the second set flawed. Unfortunately I didn't know to keep the packaging so I can not return it but it causes my PC to crash when gaming. Runs fine with the first 4GBs I ordered but the second 4GBs causes it to freeze. Wish I could RMA.

The worst Mother I've owned.

ASUS ROG Crosshair X670E Extreme (WiFi 6E) Socket AM5 (LGA 1718) Ryzen 7000 EATX Gaming Motherboard (20+2 power stages, PCIe 5.0, DDR5, five M.2 slots, USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 front-panel header with Quick Charge 4+, USB4 ports, AniMe Matrix LED)

Pros: Expensive

Cons: Horrible management via Asus Armory Crate Horrible CPU control.... No overclocked it spikes the CPU to high temps and load, when Idle or just downloading.

Overall Review: I would not buy this. Sockets are not supported as long as they used to be so for a future proofing idea it's not worth it. I'm going back to intel and avoiding ASUS in thr future. As much as I disliked my MSI boards they were better. And AsRock had the best I've ever owned.

Cons: Not usable in Raid 0 Bad Blocks on 3 out of 4 SSDs.
