Most Favorable Review

Great Effect but could use improvement.

G.SKILL TridentZ RGB Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 2400 (PC4 19200) Desktop Memory Model F4-2400C15D-32GTZR
G.SKILL TridentZ RGB Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 2400 (PC4 19200) Desktop Memory Model F4-2400C15D-32GTZR

Pros: -Color is very vivid and bright. -Many animation options in the software. -You can sync to the sound playing on your computer which is neat.

Cons: -Modules are too wide and rub together when inserting on my ITX board and bow out a small bit. I think it could end up scratching the metal sides. -RGB will stay on while your computer sleeps. -Sticks don't always stay in sync. -Price is insane even for DDR4. -Ugly misaligned white stickers that say warranty void if removed. This is the most aesthetically nice ram you can buy and they put unremovable stickers on it. -One side of each stick is black and one is gunmetal. I think they should have picked one and it would look better.

Overall Review: I'd still buy it again. These are better looking sticks than most even with the lights off - but the lights simply look awesome.

Most Critical Review

BIOS UPDATE REQUIRED but still junk

GIGABYTE Z690I AORUS ULTRA DDR4 LGA 1700 Intel Z690 Mini-ITX Motherboard with DDR4, Dual M.2, PCIe 5.0, USB 3.2 Gen2X2 Type-C, WiFi 6, Intel 2.5 GbE LAN
GIGABYTE Z690I AORUS ULTRA DDR4 LGA 1700 Intel Z690 Mini-ITX Motherboard with DDR4, Dual M.2, PCIe 5.0, USB 3.2 Gen2X2 Type-C, WiFi 6, Intel 2.5 GbE LAN

Pros: Double M.2

Cons: Can't use a SATA M.2 fyi. Regularly does not wake up from sleep without crashing. Often does not turn on the video card when booting and just sits there until I force a power off. Using a gigabyte 6900xt. On a fresh restart which is frequently required, it takes a long time to get so the windows logo, even on ultra boot.

Overall Review: This board does not work well even on latest bios.. F5A

Turning Brown After Two Weeks

Pros: Looks cool with UV light for a very short time.

Cons: I think the same thing that happened to JayzTwoCents on youtube is happening to mine. Guess pastel is out. Turning a yucky brown like rotten milk.

Try another usb port

Pros: For those with flashing screen issues, which is probably most people. Your motherboard's USB is probably not supplying enough power. Try connecting to a front panel USB socket or getting a slotted USB connector for the back of your computer that gets power directly through the motherboard. I had this issue and it immediately stopped the blinking issues. A USB 3.0 motherboard may also fix this as it supplies more power.

Cons: Cartoonishly expensive.

Not powerful enough.

Pros: Can support four monitors.

Cons: All the windows became extremely slugglish and jumpy. I don't think it has the strength to handle Windows 7 x64. I was hopeful it would perform well but it was a major downgrade from 2 power hungry 8800gts which it was intended to replace, one of which had lost its green spectrum. Felt like I had suddenly installed a Pentium 2. Popping back in the 88's it went back to being snappy.

Overall Review: Nvidia 6 GPU Series which this uses came out over 6 years ago. Fairly expensive card considering its an older GPU. I would look for some other solution like two cards on an SLI/XFire motherboard or look at Matrox Triplehead products. Core Duo 2.4Ghz DFI Lanparty Motherboard
