Pros: Decent timing at decent price Hynix CJR die

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: Runs great on ASUS X470-i and Ryzen [email protected]. OCed to 3333 with everything default to XMP profile. 75ns latency on AIDA benchmark, which is OK for AMD platform. It's made in 14/19 week/year and it's CJR die according to Thaiphoon. Won't complain.

Most Critical Review

A great product poorly executed

GIGABYTE B650I AORUS ULTRA AM5 AMD B650 Mini ITX Motherboard
GIGABYTE B650I AORUS ULTRA AM5 AMD B650 Mini ITX Motherboard

Pros: - 3 M.2 slots - front panel 20Gb USB-C (if working properly) - decent VRM

Cons: - back panel USB-C was stuck at 2.0 (480Mbps) speed (despite rated at 10Gbps) - front panel USB-C sometimes doesn't work, a full power discharge sometimes fixes it temporarily - unable to re-apply saved BIOS fan curve after a BIOS update, despite UI says so - infamous Intel I225-V disconnect issue - bad overall QC. The first one arrived damaged (damaged CPU pins and fan headers, and bent PCB). Managed to get a replacement from newegg

Overall Review: A great product on paper, but in reality there are so many underlaying issues that really irritated my daily use of the motherboard.

Ideal for high performance "SFF" builds

CORSAIR SF750 CP-9020186-NA 750 W SFX 80 PLUS PLATINUM Certified Full Modular Power Supply

Pros: - Deliver lots of power in such a small dimension - Quiet when idle

Cons: - Price. - Cable. These cables are not long enough. It's fine if you are building a super small ITX (Dancase A4 etc.), but if you want to use it in a large ITX or bigger cases (e.g. NZXT H200i etc.) you will have trouble routing 24pin and 8pin CPU cables as these cables are always 1-2 cm unreachable to the sockets on motherboard, and I endded up buying a set of extension cables to solve the problem.

Overall Review: Great product, could be better if Corsair could make cables few cms longer.
