Most Favorable Review

Great Hynix ram!

G.SKILL Ripjaws SO-DIMM 16GB (2 x 8GB) 260-Pin DDR4 SO-DIMM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Laptop Memory Model F4-3200C18D-16GRS
G.SKILL Ripjaws SO-DIMM 16GB (2 x 8GB) 260-Pin DDR4 SO-DIMM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Laptop Memory Model F4-3200C18D-16GRS

Pros: - Was able to use XMP profile with my ASRock Deskmini A300W - Was able to get a stable Overclock at DDR4-3333 with 16-18-18-18-38 timings at 1.35 volts - If you take the time to optimize your ram you can get quite a bit of extra performance out of a stock Ryzen 2400G

Cons: - None

Overall Review: At the time of purchase this was the fastest sodimm memory with the lowest CAS Latency available in a duel chip kit. If G.Skill offered their ddr4-3800 ram in a duel kit, instead of a quad kit, I probably would buy that; Espiecally after my positive experience with their DDR4-3200 kit.

Most Critical Review

Noctua NH-L9a Fan replacement?

Noctua NF-A9x14 PWM, Premium Quiet Fan, 4-Pin (92x14mm, Brown)
Noctua NF-A9x14 PWM, Premium Quiet Fan, 4-Pin (92x14mm, Brown)

Pros: - Fit on the heat sink

Cons: - Doesn't seem to be pulling as much air at full speed as the fan it replaced did before it broke..

Overall Review: I broke a fan blade on the Noctua NH-L9a so I bought this to replaced it but it doesn't seem to be drawing in as much air. I'm not 100% sure what the deal is but for some reason the CPU is running warmer by 2-3 degrees and the CPU is boosting about .05 MHZ less under a CPU-Z Stress test. After checking to see if there was an issue with the installation I just kinda figured it must be due to the variance between fans. Hard to be disappointed by Noctua except when comparing to another Noctua. Just happy the fan can be set to run at full speed with out vibrating the machine to death do to an imbalanced fan..

Junk tier Drive

Team Group QX 2.5" 4TB SATA III 3D NAND Internal Solid State Drive (SSD), Speed up to 560MB/s, Laptop & PC Desktop compatible (T253X7004T0C101)
Team Group QX 2.5" 4TB SATA III 3D NAND Internal Solid State Drive (SSD), Speed up to 560MB/s, Laptop & PC Desktop compatible (T253X7004T0C101)

Pros: Cheap

Cons: Will not transfer large files without error

Overall Review: My storage HDD started to fail. With the cost of SSDs it made sense to replace the older 1TB drive with a 4TB SSD. This drive WILL NOT transfer a valid, known good, file that is 400GB+ The File transferred to my 2nd Sabrent NVMe drive without an issue. Very disappointed. My Boot Drive is a 2TB Team Group BVNe drive, I've purchased several other Team Group products, and never had an issue. This drive is trash tier garbage. Avoid!!! When the Cache is full the transfer speed drops below 25MB a sec and then keeps trickling to ZERO until the file transfer errors. Now I know why it was so cheap.

Pros: - 144Hz - IPS - 1ms responce time - Freesync - Carrying handle (for those who travel with their PC this is a big plus)

Cons: - RGB... I hate RGB. First thing I did was turn it off.

Overall Review: Love it. Best Monitor I've ever owned. Every feature I wanted. Not to big. Not to Small. This monitor is Just right.

Works for Printer Ram upgrades!

Pros: - Was as advertised

Cons: - None

Overall Review: The Brother HL-3070CW is now showing 576 Megabytes of Ram. Works as expected. Zero complaints. Was cheaper to upgrade the ram then purchase a new printer. So far everything is GTG.

Fantastic for a SFF machine

AMD RYZEN 5 2400G Quad-Core 3.6 GHz (3.9 GHz Max Boost) Socket AM4 65W YD2400C5FBBOX Desktop Processor - Retail

Pros: - Great CPU proformance - Solid on board graphics

Cons: - Performance is 100% dependent on having high quality ram.

Overall Review: Make sure you don''t skimp out and purchase the cheapest ram kit possible. The lower the CAS Latency and the faster the ram, the better.
