Most Favorable Review

The fastest memory for my 3950x

G.SKILL Trident Z Neo Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800) Desktop Memory Model F4-3600C14Q-32GTZNB
G.SKILL Trident Z Neo Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800) Desktop Memory Model F4-3600C14Q-32GTZNB

Pros: 32GB @ 3600 speed with tight timings. Booted first time using XMP profile utilizing the ASRock X570 Taichi motherboard. Ran memory stress test for 2 hours and no errors. Just like the previous review I tightened the timings to 14-14-14-30, 3600 memory speed and infinity fabric set to 1800. NO ERRORS after 2 hours of stress testing! That’s were I will keep it.

Cons: Expensive, but your buying the best for Ryzen series 3 processors.

Overall Review: Excellent Memory G.skill

Most Critical Review

Disappointed

Dell P2415Q 24" (Actual size 23.8") Ultra HD 3840 x 2160 4K 6ms (GTG) HDMI DisplayPort Mini-DisplayPort USB 3.0 Hub MHL Compatible Anti-Glare Backlit LED IPS Monitor
Dell P2415Q 24" (Actual size 23.8") Ultra HD 3840 x 2160 4K 6ms (GTG) HDMI DisplayPort Mini-DisplayPort USB 3.0 Hub MHL Compatible Anti-Glare Backlit LED IPS Monitor

Pros: High pixels per inch. Super resolution and color

Cons: In early 2014 I purchased the previous version 2414q. Consistently would get dark screen after powering up PC and would have to power off and on the monitor for it to operate. When the 2415q came out I was positive Dell resolved the problem that was well discussed on many forums. Still has the same issue! Running a 28 inch 4k TN monitor with NO issue on the same computer. I really wanted a IPS screen. No go with this Dell.

Overall Review: Can't believe Dell didn't resolve the problem.

Excellent 4k 160hz HDR Monitor

Pros: Specs are great for this price range. I grabbed it for 299.99. 160hz refresh rate works for both Hdmi 2.1 and DP 1.4. Make sure and set monitor(monitor menu) for HDR. Gsync works fine. Great monitor for gaming.

Cons: As with almost all monitors, the speakers are below average.

Overall Review: Great monitor! At $389, a reasonable price. At 299, great!

Mushkin Enhanced Redline Lumina RGB 64GB (2 x 32GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 6400 (PC5 51200) Desktop Memory Model MLA5C640A77P32GX2

Pros: Solid 6400 Speed Memory - Best Timings (30-37-37-96) for 2x32gb (64gb) capacity. Ran Mem86 stress test with no errors on a B650e motherboard with a 7900x CPU. Great Memory

Cons: RGB functionality requires Mushkin's RGB software. Motherboard's RGB software will not work without Mushkin's RGB software. No big deal though, works flawlessly.

Overall Review: Great memory.

Excellent M.2 SSD - 1940 version

Corsair Force MP510 M.2 2280 1.92TB PCI-Express 3.0 x4, NVMe 1.3 3D TLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) CSSD-F1920GBMP510

Pros: Excellent no problems loading Win 10. Operating on my system for 2 weeks and works flawlessly. Write speed’s are faster than advertised. ATTO bench is over 3000Mbps writes and 3460 read speed. Paid 249.99 for a near 2TB M.2 drive. The competitor is double the price. Excellent purchase!

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Buy it. You will be glad you did.

Strong 2080Ti - GPU runs cool under load

GIGABYTE AORUS RTX 2080 TI 11GB DirectX 12 GV-N208TAORUSX W-11GC Video Card
GIGABYTE AORUS RTX 2080 TI 11GB DirectX 12 GV-N208TAORUSX W-11GC Video Card

Pros: GPU temps 62C with 4K resolution load. Cooler temps allow for higher overclocks. Under 4K gaming load GPU speed never drops below 2100. 240mm radiator/Fans is superior than the 120MM versions out there. RGB is great also.

Cons: I would say price. Compared to other offerings, this is my choice if you want water cooling.
