Blue light special still working

TOPOWER X3 Series ZU-550W 550 W ATX12V Version 2.0 / EPS12V SLI Ready Power Supply
TOPOWER X3 Series ZU-550W 550 W ATX12V Version 2.0 / EPS12V SLI Ready Power Supply

Pros: Solid power supply, running a sli rig, blue night light

Cons: none yet

Overall Review: This is an update to my previous review and I still have nothing but praise for this Power Suppy. I swapped out my ATI card for 2 Nvidia cards about 6 months ago and SLI is working flawlessly, not even a blip. Just review the power needs of your computer and buy a PS with at least 20% to spare at your computers maximum draw. I run my computer at least 12 hours a day, with a couple hours a day of intense gaming. I would not hesitate to buy this power supply again for a similar rig.

Disappointed

GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 R5 (rev. 1.0) AM3+/AM3 AMD 990FX USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 R5 (rev. 1.0) AM3+/AM3 AMD 990FX USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Gigabyte name, never had a problem till now

Cons: Blue screens driving me crazy, swapped out every component and no luck.

Overall Review: Always had great motherboards and video cards until now. I guess I was due to purchase a defective product I just thought it would be a bargain basement product not a high end product like Gigabyte.

Fans are fine

ID-COOLING XF-12025-ARGB-TRIO Case Fan CPU Cooling Fan Addressable RGB Case Fan 5V ARGB MB Sync PWM Fan for CPU Cooler/Radiator/PC Chassis
ID-COOLING XF-12025-ARGB-TRIO Case Fan CPU Cooling Fan Addressable RGB Case Fan 5V ARGB MB Sync PWM Fan for CPU Cooler/Radiator/PC Chassis

Pros: Look great quiet enough for me

Cons: not the fans fault but shipping was a little slow. unusual for Newegg

Overall Review: I would recommend them. The bearings are best for vertical applications so we will see how long 2 of them last horizontal.

Finally reasonable prices

AMD Ryzen 7 5700G - Ryzen 7 5000 G-Series Cezanne (Zen 3) 8-Core 3.8 GHz Socket AM4 65W AMD Radeon Graphics Desktop CPU Processor - 100-100000263BOX
AMD Ryzen 7 5700G - Ryzen 7 5000 G-Series Cezanne (Zen 3) 8-Core 3.8 GHz Socket AM4 65W AMD Radeon Graphics Desktop CPU Processor - 100-100000263BOX

Pros: on board graphics

Cons: more cores LOL

Overall Review: This will do for a while. My AM3 6300 fx was still fast enough but I needed onboard graphics or a new video card for a 4th monitor. I decided to upgrade graphics later my 1660 super is fine.

Great motherboard

ASUS TUF GAMING X570-PRO WIFI II AM4 AMD X570 USB 3.0 HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard
ASUS TUF GAMING X570-PRO WIFI II AM4 AMD X570 USB 3.0 HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Everything I wanted in a board and everything works, WIFI, bluetooth, fan headers galore HDMI and Display port.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Kingston KC3000 M.2 2280 1024GB PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe is next then my rig will be more than fast enough for now. . Bios is easy to use. Easy to overclock. Eventually I will leave it overclocked but for now just going to burn it in for a while.

Ram works as DDR 4000

G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 4000 (PC4 32000) Desktop Memory Model F4-4000C18D-32GVK

Pros: put on x570 board and no issues

Cons: Heat spreader height is a concern but my cpu cooler has no interference but your mileage may vary.

Overall Review: My Asus x570 AMD motherboard supplies all the power this memory needs to run at 40000 mhz. I have a Ryzen 5700g so fast memory helps the on board graphics run faster. Scythe Fuma can accommodate any height ram and it's whisper quiet and 20 degrees Celsius cooler than the stock AMD cpu cooler.
