Most Critical Review

Not good for AMD AM4 builds.

Patriot Viper 4 Blackout Series 64GB (2 x 32GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800) Intel XMP 2.0 Desktop Memory Model PVB464G360C8K, AMD Compatible

Pros: I bought the Patriot Viper 4 Blackout Series 64GB (2 x 32GB) DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800) Intel XMP 2.0 Desktop Memory, AMD compatible kit. It works.. just not at it's rated speed.

Cons: I can't get it to run at it's rated speed of 3600mhz on my B550 & 5800x3d build. The fastest it's stable is 3400mhz. For my B450 & 5600x pc the fastest I can get it to run is 3200mhz. Needless to say, I am VERY disappointed. Don't buy if you are on AM4. Might be good for an Intel build, I can't say.

Overall Review: 3/5 because while it works, it's slower than it's rated speed. I got it for a half decent price.

Horrible Motherboard

Pros: None.

Cons: BEWARE. DO NOT BUY THIS MOTHERBOARD. The layout is horrible. It's the worst that I have ever seen from a motherboard. The M.2 slot is located under a video card if you have 2 video cards installed, the 2nd video card covers the sata ports and i/o wire connectors. The M.2 slot died on me after 3 days of use. I don't like Asus motherboard's bios, it can be confusing, they use proprietary terms in the bios that other motherboard manufacturers don't use. This motherboard isn't TUF, it's JUNK.

Overall Review: DO NOT BUY THIS MOTHERBOARD. This motherboard isn't TUF, it's JUNK.

Not impressed with the quality

Pros: It works most of the time. Nice picture quality.

Cons: Cheaply made. The joystick is cheap, It's a dumb way to turn the monitor off & on. I doubt this monitor will last nearly as long as my previous monitor. (It still works after 7 plus years.) I am not impressed with Asus products these days. Products are cheaply made, and their menu's and bios's are not intuitive and are over complicated. When the monitor "wakes from sleep" sometimes half of the monitor screen is black/dark, resetting the computer fixes it. I've never seen this problem before. The only reason I bought it was because it was on sale. Unless you can get it for a good price then I suggest to buy something with better build quality.

Overall Review: Not really impressed
