Most Favorable Review

Solid product

ARRIS SURFboard SB6183 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem - 600 MHz Dual-Thread Processor
ARRIS SURFboard SB6183 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem - 600 MHz Dual-Thread Processor

Pros: Easy to setup. Zero issues.

Cons: It doesn't make my morning coffee.

Overall Review: I had a Cisco modem that was purchased through Cox and it was only for 8 channels. There wasn't anything wrong the modem, but I needed a device that had room to grow. Arris has been around for awhile and they make a decent product. It was definitely worth the switch and easy to swap over.

Most Critical Review

Quality Control?

ASRock Phantom Gaming D3 Radeon RX 5600 XT RX5600XT PGD3 6GO 6GB (14Gbps) 192-Bit GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card
ASRock Phantom Gaming D3 Radeon RX 5600 XT RX5600XT PGD3 6GO 6GB (14Gbps) 192-Bit GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card

Pros: Nice looking card and it performs well when it works.

Cons: Order a few cards for a build and a couple of them had thermal issues where the fan would stay at 100%. The replacements didn't have the problem.

Overall Review: Probably I won't be buying cards from ASRock again. I'll just stick to their motherboards.

No frills card

PNY GeForce RTX 5070 Ti OC PCI Express 5.0, 16GB GDDR7,  DLSS 4.0  Graphics Card VCG5070T16TFXPB1-O
PNY GeForce RTX 5070 Ti OC PCI Express 5.0, 16GB GDDR7, DLSS 4.0 Graphics Card VCG5070T16TFXPB1-O

Pros: Speedy delivery.

Cons: Huge card

Overall Review: Ordered the card over the weekend, 11/15-16. It was shipped on Monday and received it on Tuesday. Unpacked the card and its bigger than my EVGA 3080ti XC3 Ultra. The card barely fits in my Fractal Design mini C. I have a Corsair HX750i Titanium powering card and no issues. For the 12HWPWR connector, I bought a CableMod cable and plugs in to my 3 PCIE connectors on the PSU. Overall, the card performs well and no issues.

Great price and it works well!

Seagate Exos X20 18TB SATA 6Gb/s 7200RPM 3.5" Enterprise Hard Disk Drive (HDD) - ST18000NM003D
Seagate Exos X20 18TB SATA 6Gb/s 7200RPM 3.5" Enterprise Hard Disk Drive (HDD) - ST18000NM003D

Pros: Price High Capacity

Cons: None

Overall Review: I was looking for a set of hard disks from my Ubiquiti NVR and I didn't want to spend too much on the hard disk. goHardDrive was selling a set of 18TB refurbished drives with a warranty for a very reasonable price and it made it better with an additional discount by using Zip. I got the disks in a few days and put them in the NVR. It formatted and started to record. No issues and been very happy.

Pros: Works well with the Zotac RTX4060 8G Solo. Easy to setup. GSYNC works great.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Bought 2 of them for both my kids' rigs. They're happy playing MC with ray tracing and Roblox as max frames.

Solid RAM kit

Pros: Easy to use and XMP loaded up on the first try.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Solid kit for your Ryzen 5 5600X. Using it with an ASUS TUF Gaming B550M-Plus and it detected the proper timings upon entering BIOS. Definitely recommend it!
