Plug and Play!

Patriot Viper 3 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin PC RAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 15000) Desktop Memory Model PV316G186C0K
Patriot Viper 3 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin PC RAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 15000) Desktop Memory Model PV316G186C0K

Pros: Easy to use.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: I vaguely remember Patriot's name coming up before. In RAM options, and I'm very glad to have gotten these. They work great, I've had no problems with them at all. Even changing the timing to what they recommend was simple in BIOS, (though that's largely due to the mobo). At any rate these are an excellent buy.

Most Critical Review

Not the one with the red light on bottom!

Perixx PERIMICE-718R Wireless 2.4 GHz Ergonomic Vertical Mouse, Big Right Hand Mouse, 5 Programmable Buttons, 3 DPI Level
Perixx PERIMICE-718R Wireless 2.4 GHz Ergonomic Vertical Mouse, Big Right Hand Mouse, 5 Programmable Buttons, 3 DPI Level

Pros: The grip style is really nice.

Cons: The tracking is horrible. I may have just gotten a dud but it's horrible just the same. I even bought a special mousepad and it made no difference.

Overall Review: The mousepad was supposed to be specifically for optical mice, no improvement. Used it for maybe a month and went back to my old broke mouse. Yes, it's that bad.

Runs Great!

MSI Ventus GeForce RTX 2060 12GB GDDR6 PCI Express 3.0 x16 ATX Graphics Card RTX 2060 VENTUS GP 12G OC

Pros: So, this GPU, it's for 1080 HD. I can run full HD, 1920x1080, at a solid 120FPS. 120 hertz monitor. But don't expect it to do 2K or 4K. Each system is different, but at this GPUs core, it's built for 1080. The extra VRAM is great too. Especially if you get into running AI on your local machine. Or image generation. That's the only time I've ever been able to use over 10gigs of VRAM.

Cons: The PCIe interface is PCIe3x16, not PCIe4x16. So your transfer speed isn't as good as newer GPUs. But that's more of a detailed nuance than an actual complaint. The only other thing I can think of is that it is a little power hungry. It's not exactly eco-friendly on your electric bill, but it also isn't the worst.

Overall Review: This GPU is good for what it is. Regular, run of the mill, Full HD 1080. But if you're looking for 2k resolutions, look elsewhere.

Excellent product.

Pros: It's a nice mouse, the angle of grip and everything just feels right to me. The lights are cool and all, but I usually keep them off. What I really like is that the sensitivity button is on the bottom, so you don't accidently push it.

Cons: Nothing. No cons. It's great.

Overall Review: I'd definitely buy it again. And probably will. Had mine for years and it works fine still. So when it goes out, I'll be looking for this one again. Or a newer model from the same company.

Ran good... for a while.

CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model CMK16GX4M2E3200C16

Pros: Everything worked as it should... until it didn't. The timings were right, just as the specs said. And it held up good.

Cons: I tested them as soon as I got them. Both at the stock timings, and the auto-clock setting in BIOs. Passed all the tests. I ran them for a while, and then they started failing. Had me looking into all sorts of possible problems until I finally realized it was the RAM. Ran mutiple tests from different sources, (memtest, window memory diagnostics), they all came back bad. Failed within seconds. Now I will say that even though they were failing, they still ran. I had two 8gig sticks, 16gig in total. And I could still run things that used 10gigs of RAM. So, there's that. They'd still randomly fail but that says something I think.

Overall Review: I wouldn't buy these again. Maybe a "pro" model or something. When I bought replacements, I didn't get Corsair. And I doubt I'll buy Corsair RAM again.

Good CPU.

AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT - Ryzen 7 5000 Series 8-Core 3.8 GHz Socket AM4 105W None Integrated Graphics Desktop CPU Processor - 100-100001582BOX
AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT - Ryzen 7 5000 Series 8-Core 3.8 GHz Socket AM4 105W None Integrated Graphics Desktop CPU Processor - 100-100001582BOX

Pros: So, it's fast. Faster than the 5800X and most AM4 CPUs. It ran fine out the box, at the listed speeds in the specs. However, you can dial in manual settings in bios, (without voiding the warranty). Just a little nudge here and there, undervolt this here, and voila... over 5 GHz boost clock. Running at 65-70 watts. All chips are different though. The one you get could be slower or faster.

Cons: Honestly, I can't think of anything. It runs everything I throw at it no problem. You will need a good CPU cooler. I've a AIO 280mm water cooler, running it in 90F weather it can redline on serious business tasks. So if you don't have A/C in the same room and a nice CPU cooler, it could possibly be a problem.

Overall Review: This thing is great! No complaints here.
