Team Group Night Hawk RGB DDR4 3200

Team T-Force Night Hawk RGB 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model TF2D416G3200HC16CDC01
Team T-Force Night Hawk RGB 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model TF2D416G3200HC16CDC01

Pros: Works great with Ryzen 1700 and the new Ryzen + above 3200 speeds, this is with a Gigabyte x370 gaming 5 and the gaming K7 Was flawless when I switched to a 2700x, XMP and off I went.. Love it

Cons: Only con is the size, I wanted to revert back to a tower cooler from an AIO but the heat sinc to tall..

Overall Review: I wonder if Team Group would exchange this for low profile memory? Nah probably not.

Most Critical Review

Gigabyte G1 Gaming 7

GIGABYTE G1 Gaming GA-Z170X-Gaming 7 (rev. 1.0) LGA 1151 Intel Z170 HDMI USB 3.1 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
GIGABYTE G1 Gaming GA-Z170X-Gaming 7 (rev. 1.0) LGA 1151 Intel Z170 HDMI USB 3.1 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Love the looks and the layout of this board, feels very sturdy and runs very well..Came from a Gygabye Z97 UDH5 BK.

Cons: As others have posted here the sound goes absolutely haywire and you get a metallic sound over the voice or over music, and it doesn't matter if you are wearing headphones or speakers..This totally ruins this MB in my opinion. Creative has been making bad hardware for years now, sorry that Gigabyte used their chip on this board, turned a great board into a board you will have to spend more money on for a sound card..Gigabyte and Creative has had ample time to fix this issue.

Overall Review: NewEgg rocks as usual.

Good GPU bad RGB

SAPPHIRE NITRO+ Radeon RX 9070 XT 16GB GDDR6 PCI Express 5.0 x16 ATX Graphics Card 11348-01-20G
SAPPHIRE NITRO+ Radeon RX 9070 XT 16GB GDDR6 PCI Express 5.0 x16 ATX Graphics Card 11348-01-20G

Overall Review: GPU works as it should, stays very cool on all components. The problem is the RGB lighting, the colors are already distorted, like old weathered headlight covers. Sapphire won't just send a new light I can easily put in myself, no. They want me to send it the whole GPU, been there done that and what I got back was a different GPU and model.. Warranty is a nightmare and won't buy sapphire again.

Thought these were the best?

Super Flower Leadex III 850W 80+ Gold, Three-Way ECO Mode Fanless, Silent & Cooling Mode, FDB Fan, Full Modular Power Supply, Dual Over Power Protection, SF-850F14HG

Pros: Quiet.

Cons: Bought on 6/26/2021 but today I turned on PC and it popped and went dead, thankfully it was just the PSU, replaced with an old 750 I had and everything works. I thought these things lasted forever but I guess I got a weak one. Was thinking of getting a white one for my white P600s but I will have to rethink what I get next.

Overall Review: Think I just got a bad one, I know these are known to be great PSUs don't let this review push you away from this product.

Best case I have ever owned

Phanteks Eclipse P600S PH-EC600PSTG_WT01 White Steel / Tempered Glass ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Phanteks Eclipse P600S PH-EC600PSTG_WT01 White Steel / Tempered Glass ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: There is nothing bad to say about this case, it has everything you could ever want, including airflow. This is my second Phanteks case. I have owned a lot of cases in my time and this one tops them all. Also Phanteks is a top notch company who are very helpful with missing parts or bad fans which I had one bad fan that they replaced without hesitation.

Cons: Only thing I can come up with as far as a con is, the little door covering the USB is tight and hard to open, it touches at the top and if not careful it will take paint off the door.

Overall Review: You cannot go wrong with Phanteks.

Value KING

Intel 660p Series M.2 2280 2TB PCIe NVMe 3.0 x4 3D2, QLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SSDPEKNW020T8X1
Intel 660p Series M.2 2280 2TB PCIe NVMe 3.0 x4 3D2, QLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SSDPEKNW020T8X1

Pros: Yes, I mean that it is a value king if you consider the price point they are making here. This drive is faster than an HDD , I can tell no difference in boot times compared to say a Samsung 2 TB pro, the seconds difference is hardly noticeable. For the price and the warranty I am liking it so far.

Cons: Not the fastest but it does what it was meant to do.
