Pros: Was able to finally receive these in purple, after receiving the order in blue last month for my son's Birthday. My son really enjoys seeing his Cooler Master Elite 430 all decked out in purple now, and I even switched out the H.D.D. LED and Power SW to purple too. Not to bright and not to dim, just right as my son says.

Cons: None I can think of.

Overall Review: My son is happy now, and so am I.

Pros: They work well with my MSI B360M Bazooka MoBo, and was able to overclock them to 3000MHz without any issues. The RGB LED lighting is nice and the colors look great, and the gun metal grey heatsink matches my MoBo's other gun metal grey features. All around they work great and are fast.

Cons: The Ballistix M.O.D. Utility program is something else though. Sometimes it works and sometimes it don't. RGB LED's hang up and freeze, and sometimes you can't even control how fast the LED's move. Customizing the color scheme sometime worked, but the 8 pattern zones worked well. LED brightness never worked, and always adjusted by itself to what it wanted - even after I adjusted it to what I wanted it to be.

Overall Review: I would only recommend them, if they didn't have the RGB LED's or having to use the Ballistix M.O.D. Utility. Ballistix should use the program that their DDR3 Smart Tracer used, it was simple and easier to use, never had hiccups or issues. Man, I miss my 4 Smart Tracer MeM with Orange/Blue and Green/Red LED's.

Pros: Works like it should no doubt, but runs a bit hotter than it's equivalent - the Intel Core i5-11600

Cons: None as of yet

Overall Review: I purchased this to use with an ASRock B550M Pro4 MoBo, just because - to see what the hype was all about between AMD an Intel CPU's. Only thing I can see is that it runs a bit more hotter than an Intel. And I am using the same setup for both, Corsair 450 watt PSU, Corsair MeM, Vetroo V5 Air Cooler, 5 Corsair 120mm fans, darkFlash DLM21 case, everything is the same. To me it's all exaggerated publicity, but you do you and choose wisely.

Pros: Easy to use as it gets used daily, as I'm upgrading a lot of customers computers with new M.2's or SSD;s and transferring all their files and info over to bigger units.

Cons: It's a work horse for sure

Overall Review: I've had mine for a little over 2 months now, no issues or hiccups.

Pros: Got this as a freebie with the purchase of an AMD CPU.

Cons: None I can tell you.

Overall Review: I gave it to my wife to use where she works, she says it works well for what she's using it for.

Pros: I purchased this mobo to replace an ASRock B365M Pro4 with an Intel CPU, just because I have always wanted to tryout an AMD CPU just to see what the hype was all about.

Cons: No cons at all, just checking out hype

Overall Review: I really can't see anything different between Intel or AMD while up and running, other than the AMD CPU runs a bit hotter than an Intel CPU. To me it's just exaggerated publicity for the gaming masses, so don't believe all that you hear or read. Pick what brand works for you, you do you.
