USB only, no ARGB
![PNY CS3150 XLR8 Gaming Epic-X RGB 2TB PCIe Gen5 x4 NVMe M.2 SSD with RGB Dual Fan Heatsink [DRAM Cache] up to 11500 MB/s Read – M280CS3150XHS-2TB-RB](https://c1.neweggimages.com/ProductImageCompressAll125/20-177-165-01.png)
Pros: Good read/write speeds Plenty of cooling
Cons: Takes a USB header No ARGB signal harness Not recognized by OpenRGB
Overall Review: Overall I'm reasonably satisfied, just would like the option to sync w/ my ARGB controller
No JEDEC 5600 in the SPD

Pros: Fantastic price Good speeds Decent timings
Cons: If you're limited to a system firmware that only likes JEDEC ( no XMP or EXPO ), these aren't the RAM for you. They have two JEDEC 4200 entries and two 6400 entries in the SPD, nothing for 5600.
Overall Review: Great for overclockers, but missing JEDEC 5600
Everything is great except Nahimic

Pros: Plenty of horsepower on CPU, GPU front
Cons: Nahimic is a brain-dead awful piece of zombie software that keeps coming back.
Overall Review: Stamp out Nahimic as soon as possible.
Decent JEDEC 5600

Pros: Recognized by DELL XPS 8960 After a system update, came in at 5600
Cons: Subtimings in the SPD could be 5600AN 40-40-40, but 42 ain't bad
Overall Review: Great if you have a system firmware that's not designed for memory tweaking.
Raspberry Pi

Pros: Raspbian likes it out of the box
Cons: N/A
LGTM

Pros: Decent card for the price
Cons: Had trouble waking up a certain brand of monitor; appeared to successfully navigate EDID but HDCP between the two failed and the monitor stayed asleep on HDMI.
Overall Review: I don't have the test gear to find out how compliant either piece of equipment is with the EDID / HDCP / HDMI specs. Same GPU SVGA port, no problems; same GPU different HDMI monitor, no problems. Different GPU failed monitor, no problems.

Great cooling!
Don't love the noise level above 1k RPM, but it beats the uneven pulsing of an AIO.
LGTM
Looks Good To Me
