Pros: -excellent first word latency -TIGHT out-of-the-box timing -moderately fast speeds -higher base and boost clockspeeds (Ryzen) -works out of the box without having to mess with bios (aside from enabling EXPO) -stable -competitively priced -no RGB (debatable)

Cons: -no RGB (debatable)

Overall Review: I bought the 6000MHz CL 30 2x16gb RAM kit. With over a dozen builds under my belt now across multiple generations of CPUs and motherboards, I can wholeheartedly say Team Group has won me as a customer for life (as long as they keep offering competitively priced RAM). I have very specific criteria for my RAM and that usually is first word latency which is one of the more important parameters for gaming. Sure I could spend twice as much for RAM from a "more reputable" company with higher MHz and mandatory RGB but its always at the cost of timing. Team Group RAM always hits that sweet spot in pricing where you moderately "fast" RAM but with AWESOME, tight timing that will outperform RAM that might cost twice as much and come with mandatory RGB. I consistently see higher base and boost clocks on my CPUs (Ryzen), and never have issues with out of the box performance. If you need no nonsense, high quality RAM; then you're on Team Group (pun intended). No RGB, no fancy heatspreader, no excessive messing with bios settings, just high quality chips and tight timing.

Pros: -quality -materials -well thought out -beautiful

Cons: -not the best airflow -no way to mitigate cables or tubes touching upper fans without tight cable management -reassembly can be a bit challenging -only 1,2.5" drive slot

Overall Review: Overall an amazing case, especially in the design criteria. Just a few critiques: I've always loved the design language and build quality of Phanteks cases, truly timeless. While this case is very well thought out, I really wish they included perforated metal or plastic grates to help with PSU cables and AIO tubes from touching the fans once the case is closed up. Also there is definitely enough space for two SSDs, as you can see in my photo. I wish they found a way to mount more than just one. Additionally, while the infinity mirror is super dope and the optional 6" screen you can purchase to replace it is equally awesome, I wish there was a third option to do away with them and add even more airflow with dual 80mm fans or something of the like. Love the case as it sits on my desk though.

Pros: -affordable -excellent high quality power delivery (more than sufficient for 8 core systems) -2 m.2 NVME slots -great aesthetic -dual channel memory

Cons: -BIOS usability -limited IO -limited amount and awkwardly placed fan headers

Overall Review: Would definitely recommend this for anyone doing a Ryzen build on a budget! At first I was skeptical of the board being so cheap, especially after seeing how bad the BIOS GUI was compared to my 8 year old Asus board. Everything you need is in there but it just takes some digging through the settings. However, after seeing a breakdown of this board's components on Youtube I feel much better knowing that Gigabyte cheaped out on "non-essential" components of the board such as fan pin headers and IO ports instead of essential systems such as power delivery and proper cooling for the chipsets. If you plan on using this board for a build, I highly recommend buying some sort of fan hub to go along with it, because there are only two CPU fan headers and two chassis fan headers. I ended up using a splitter to power a total of five fans in my case. I would also be aware of the limited amount of inputs for USB and other IO. I wish they could have cheaped out more on audio and included more USB ports because you can always add a cheap USB sound card. In summary, given that this motherboard is budget oriented, excellent product! Egg deducted for lack of fan headers and poor BIOS GUI.
