Best stuff as far as I am concerned

Pros: It's the only goop I'll buy for putting on my cpu's and heatsinks. Too bad I only change cpu's like once every 9-10 years, so of course by then I can't find the old tube and gotta buy another.
Cons: No cons on this, except it needs a gps locator so I can find it next time I need it
Wish it worked

Pros: It has 4 ports that supposedly supports USB 3.0 and all the speedy goodness that entails.....
Cons: It doesn't recognize anything I plug into it. I'm running Windows 8 64 bit on my 3.5 year old desktop, a quad core with 4 gigs ram. I read the reviews on here, and some people with win8 say it works fine for them, more people with Win8 say it doesn't work for them. The mfg support rep comes on here and offers plenty of suggestions, but we never find out if any of them help or not. I saw here where one rep says don't let your system install the drivers, do it manually from the disk or download. Another comment the rep says for Win8, let Windows install the drivers and it will work. My emails back and forth after buying the card, they told me to use the downloaded drivers, and install the Win7/64 drivers, will work. Sorry, no go with either MS or the VIA drivers. It's in a PCIe 2.0 slot, tried the OTHER PCIe slot, messed with settings in bios, it has a molex power plug inserted correctly, little green light on the board comes on. The 3 VIA drivers show in device manager. Yet nothing I plug into the card will work. I have tried flash drives, wireless mouse/keyboard transceiver, usb hard drives, nothing on any of them. Support has given up and says I have a defective card, and should return for replacement to them or to Newegg. I got the card for only $13, I gotta spend another $3 or $4 to ship it to get a replacement that will probably do the same?? I dunno if I want to do that, but if I don't, I toss the card and lose my $13 anyway. What a quandary I think I saw on their site a card that was the same except a different controller, not VIA. Might try to swap for that, not sure..... just pretty disappointed at this time..... So warning to Win8 users, it may work, it may not...... depends how much of a gambler you are if you decide to purchase this item or not....
Overall Review: Really want it to work, my system is stuck with usb 2.0 ports that seem to kill flash drives, so I thought I'd upgrade to newer and faster ports, but no love....... me sad........
Great Purchase

Pros: I lover this system. I have been into computing since the commodore 64 days, so I know a little about computers. I have always built my own systems, but these days you can actually get them cheaper prebuilt a lot of the time. These aren't the newest or latest and greatest parts, I am fully aware it's a year or 2 old tech, but it's powerful as all get out. Coming from a 1st Gen Ryzen 5 to this almost latest version i9 is the biggest noticeable improvement. The 32 gigs of RAM is the most I've had so far And the 3070 is a truckload better than the RX 470 I previously had.
Overall Review: And I wanted to mention that I received a call from the gentleman building my system the next day. informing there was a stock issue with the case, it hadn't come in yet, and offered me a couple of different choices. I took the same case in white. I had just got a white keyboard (for free) so I thought why not. It looks pretty cool I must say.I was super impressed it wasn't an email and might have taken days to resolve, but with a call it was done right away, and I am happy as a clam. The m/b I received is a Gigabyte, the 4070 is a Zotac. Not too bad, coulda done better in the video card lottery, but I'll take it. System has run sweet for a month, I'm a happy camper.
Works as intended

Pros: Got this to upgrade memory capacity on an Fire tablet. Came pre-formatted and worked and was recognized right out of the package.
Cons: Not much in way of packaging, but arrived safely.
Overall Review: Good amount of storage for a good price. Would recommend.
Great price when I got it and overclocked AND stable

Pros: I have this memory installed in a new ASRock b450 pro m/b. Booted up fine and was recognized at it's rated speed. I currently have it oc'd to 2800 and it's still stable, going to try for faster soon. It does loosen up the timings when overclocking, but nothing too outrageous. I got the kit on sale for under $60 and couldn't be happier.
Cons: No bright n shiny rgb lites, but at 59 years old, I like to think I'm beyond that stuff. Although my new case has 3 rgb fans in the front...lol....
Overall Review: Saved $15-$20 or more by not getting pc3000 speed. I can probably get close to that with these, and it really doesn't matter all that much anyway.
Excellent motherboard

Pros: I can say this is an excellent motherboard. It has everything most of us need, and does it's job extremely well. I did want to get the Fatilty m/b, which is pretty much exactly like this one but with a few differences like red leds around the southbridge, and tin plated video card slot, but this one was on sale, the other one wasn't. I am pretty darn happy with this choice I must say. Full atx size, nice black pc board, and supports 2 NVME's of the PCI variety. The second slot will take sata or pci x2 nvme drive. It was fine for my pcix4 lexar nvme, which would only reach 2000 mb/s on the x4 slot, so having it in the x2 slot and getting 1600 mb/s is good enough. Got a faster one in the x4 slot that gets to 3000 mb/s, good for OS and Office.
Cons: Be careful with the slots. You CAN"T use 2 nvme's, 6 sata, and multiple pci devices. Each nvme slot shares a bus with sata ports, so using 1 nvme will turn off 2 sata ports. Using both nvme's turned off 4 sata ports for me. Was ok in my case, a 256 gig nvme to boot and put main programs on, a 480 gig nvme for games, a 6 tb mechanical drive for downloads and media files, and a 120 ssd that I had laying around, so what the heck. And using one graphics card in slot 1 will take out a couple pci slots as well. So plan accordingly. CHeck out the ASRock website for the manual that will give you all the info you need.
Overall Review: I got this m/b, a raidmax zeta case, and some memory to put my 'new' system together. I had a relatively new Dell 5675 gaming system that was all right, but, it's a stinkin Dell. Can't do ANYTHING in the bios, and it supposedly came with an rx570 vid card that turns out to be an rx470 flashed to say it's a 570. Not even overclocked or anything. It only had 1 fan in the back, so no air flow either. I took out the Ryzen 5 1400 and the vid card, and popped it in the new case with the aforementioned pieces. Grabbed my old 750 watt raidmax power supply and put it in there with new G.Skill Flare X pc 2400 16 gb of ram that I so far have oc'd to 2800 and still stable.
