Most Favorable Review

Works as Intended

OLOy 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model MD4U163216CGDA
OLOy 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model MD4U163216CGDA

Pros: Not a big name brand and a no-frills approach (i don't care about RGB) - it snapped right in and works flawlessly. Memtest86 shows both sticks 100% error-free, at the rated speed and CAS latency.

Cons: None

Overall Review: If you don't care about RGB or whatever, this stuff seems pretty good. We'll see if it remains reliable and error free.

Good M.2 SSD at a competitive price

Crucial P1 1TB 3D NAND NVMe PCIe Internal SSD, up to 2000 MB/s - CT1000P1SSD8
Crucial P1 1TB 3D NAND NVMe PCIe Internal SSD, up to 2000 MB/s - CT1000P1SSD8

Pros: Good price for a fast 3D NANAD NVMe SSD.

Cons: It's not a Samsung EVO Plus (at like, 3x the price)?

Overall Review: Not much to say, so far. Plugged right in, MoBo recognized it immediately, boots quick. FWIW I use this in a recording studio and am currently keeping some sample libraries on it, and they load incredibly fast from this drive.

Pros: Absolutely killer design and production. I needed a low-profile cooler for a rack-mount build - but I was using a known hot CPU. This thing is keeping all cores of my i9 (not OC'ed) at below 60 deg (C) - while doing it SILENTLY.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: If you have height restrictions limiting your air cooling choices, you can NOT do better than this cooler. Noctua continues to design and make superior iar-cooling solutions for a myriad of computing, case, space and other situations.

It's an Intel i9...

Intel Core i9 9th Gen - Core i9-9900K Coffee Lake 8-Core, 16-Thread, 3.6 GHz (5.0 GHz Turbo) LGA 1151 (300 Series) 95W BX80684I99900K Desktop Processor Intel UHD Graphics 630
Intel Core i9 9th Gen - Core i9-9900K Coffee Lake 8-Core, 16-Thread, 3.6 GHz (5.0 GHz Turbo) LGA 1151 (300 Series) 95W BX80684I99900K Desktop Processor Intel UHD Graphics 630

Pros: It's an Intel i9 - Top of the heap at the time of this review (mid 2020). Working as expected. AMD really challenged Intel over the last few years and Intel answered the call.

Cons: Expensive, but...

Overall Review: If stability, compatibility and internal clock speeds are as or more important to you than just the number of CPU cores, then you can't really do better than this CPU, at the moment.

I Really Like this MoBo

Pros: Rugged, has pretty much every feature you would want. So far, working great for me.

Cons: This matters to me, as I'm using it in an audio PC at the heart of a recording studio: The on-board audio isn't all that great and outputs a fair amount of "noise" from the computer.

Overall Review: Note: If you use an M.2 drive, you give up 2 SATA channels, so you go from 6 available down to 4.

Works as Intended

Overall Review: Used to display modern HDMI output on an older monitor with only DVI input. Works without any drama.
