Excellent 64 GB DDR5 RAM kit, worked with XMP profile out of the box.

Pros: - One of the fastest 64 GB kits available on the market, 5600 MT/s CL30 - Relatively low voltage required, 1.25v
Cons: - A bit pricey, but that's just DDR5 in general I guess
Overall Review: With a single one of these kits, the XMP profile of 5600 CL 30 worked out of the box, 100% stable: Memtest86 4 passes, Prime95 Large FFTs 2 hours, Linpack 1 hour. No issues. I also tried two of these kits together to hopefully get 128 GB to work, but unfortunately I was only able to get that stable at 4400 MT/s and that was with many many hours of manual tuning. This was too much of a sacrifice in terms of speed for me, so I decided to just stick with one of these kits. Used with an ASUS ROG Strix Z690-E board and an i9-12900K.
Great motherboard...if only first AND second one wasn't defective...maybe third times a charm?

Pros: - Works well with 3rd gen Threadripper chips as it should - Quiet chipset fans even under heavy load - Worked with 128 GB (4x 32 GB) DDR4 3600 kit without any issues, loaded D.O.C.P profile correctly
Cons: - First board was defective: would only POST with 3 sticks of memory - Second motherboard died right after the 30 day mark: would not POST any longer, stuck with Post Code 00.
Overall Review: Very good board, when it works. First board was defective, which pushed back my build by a week along with shipping delays... but the latter is not ASUS' fault. However, second board died right after the 30 day mark; right after the return/replacement period...very nice. One fine day, post code 00. Tried swapping the CPU and no change. Tried disassembling entire machine and booting it outside...no change. Bought a brand new board of the same make and model, put CPU and RAM in it...and it booted up immediately. Maybe third time's a charm? (only reason this isn't 1 egg at this point)
Works well, runs quiet with a powerful system under heavy load

Pros: - Works well with a high powered Threadripper rig
Cons: - Was very pricey when I purchased it
Overall Review: Ran this with a Threadripper 3960X system, and a 2080 Ti. Ran it at full load (full 600W TDP) and the PSU stayed quiet and still managed to stay cool. That also includes having to run 3x 120 mm AIO fans, and 3x 120 mm case fans, and couple of drives (NVME, SATA, etc), and RGB lighting.
Worked immediately with a Ryzen 5 1600 AF

Pros: - Plug and play, enable XMP and it worked with a Ryzen 5 1600 AF without issues - Inexpensive DDR4 3200 kit
Cons: - Relatively high latency for the speed and capacity
Overall Review: Worked out of the box with a Ryzen 5 1600 AF at the full DDR4 3200 speeds and fully stable, passed all the stress tests - not just Memtest86,. The board used was an Asus Prime B450M-A/CSM
Works well with Threadripper 3rd gen

Pros: - Works well with TR 3960X running stock clocks, not super noisy - Included ML120 fans are well-balanced between airflow, RPM, and noise - Larger coldplate than Asetek based coolers, which means better contact with Threadripper IHS
Cons: - While the 3960X doesn't throttle, it does occasionally hit 91*C under super heavy loads (AVX-based workloads). Other workloads max out around 87*C.

Very powerful!

Pros: - 24 zen2 cores and 48 threads, very powerful. - Fast in games, fast in productivity tasks. - Works well with 128 GB (4x 32 GB) DDR4 3600 kit from Corsair, after SOC voltage tweak
Cons: - The worst performance-per-watt of the Threadripper 3rd gen lineup by design - Expensive entry price
Overall Review: Powerful processor, uses a ton of power for the amount of cores and lithography compared to the rest of the lineup. Performs well across a variety of applications unlike previous generations. I upgraded from 2nd gen TR 2950X and saw double the performance in multi-thread apps, and significantly higher minimum frame rates in games.
