Most Favorable Review

Great memory until it isn't.

G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 64GB (2 x 32GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 4400 (PC4 35200) Desktop Memory Model F4-4400C19D-64GVK
G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 64GB (2 x 32GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 4400 (PC4 35200) Desktop Memory Model F4-4400C19D-64GVK

Pros: - The memory is fast but not too fast so I can still go out in public.

Cons: - After 6 months, 1 of the sticks of RAM went bad.

Overall Review: - I can't speak for all the RAM out there. The RAM worked great until it didn't. Some RAM may be bad apples. I've contacted G.Skill support and I should get the bad RAM replaced. We move on. Depending on how the support is handled, that may lower my eggs on my review.

Most Critical Review

Lasted 10 Days

ASUS ROG GeForce RTX 2080 Ti 11GB GDDR6 SLI Support Graphics Card ROG-MATRIX-RTX2080TI-P11G-GAMING

Pros: The card is amazing when it works.

Cons: Lasted 10 days. Asus won't repair or replace the card when it dies. They will only buy it back. Thanks for nothing Asus.

Overall Review: You can take a chance and pay a premium for this card if you want or you could just buy a cheaper card and not even notice a difference in graphics. Maybe all RTX 2080TI cards need to be RMA'd once.

Gets The Job Done

Pros: I bought this because I bought a CPU without a heatsink. It does a great job and my motherboard can easily control the fan and the noise level.

Cons: I have none.

Overall Review: If you're complaining about the noise or the fact that you were expecting dramatic temperature difference, then maybe you should think about water cooling.

Reliability and Performance

Comments: I went tyan for the reliablitity and performance. With all the different motherboards to choose from I have never came across a Tyan motherboard that was unsatisfactory. This Motherboard has onboard raid for IDE and SATA. There is potential of hooking up 6 hard-drives. Lots of room for expansion.
