TEAM 128GB

TEAMGROUP C175 128GB USB 3.2 Gen 1 Flash Drive Rounded Streamlined Unibody Design Black Pearl Seamless Construction Matte and Glossy Finish, Speed Up to 100MB/s (TC1753128GB01)

Pros: Reliable long term. Decent speed.

Cons: Gets warm on heavy usage. But don't they all.

Overall Review: I've got a couple of these in smaller capacities that have been reliable for years so I thought I would buy Team again. I had this for several months now and it's working great so far, unlike the Corsair I had that failed miserably after a few months and was replaced under warranty only to die again in a couple of months. Don't think this is quite as fast but I'll take reliability instead.

EVGA SuperNOVA 850 GT

Pros: These have been our go to power supplies for the last four builds we've done. Oldest one is from 2018 and still going strong.

Cons: Prices keep going up.

Overall Review: Highly recommend. Watch for it on sale and pick up a spare. The total modular approach makes a marked difference in cable organization. IMO EVGA makes the best power supplies.

CORSAIR Vengeance RGB 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 6400 (PC5 51200) Desktop Memory Model CMH32GX5M2N6400C36

Pros: CORSAIR Vengeance RGB 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 6400 (PC5 51200) Desktop Memory Model CMH32GX5M2N6400C36. Reached advertised speeds on Aorus X870e motherboard with Ryzen 9900X processor with XMP profile.

Cons: Can not reach advertised speeds of XMP profile if using 4 sticks of memory (true of all brands and models). CAS Latency 36. Better specs are available in other products but is usually a trade off between better CAS or higher clock speed.

Overall Review: Ran a lot of stability tests. ultimately gave up on 4 sticks and finally decided to only use 2 for the higher speeds obtained. Highest speed with four sticks that seemed stable in my limited testing was 4800 where as rated 6400 seemed no problem with only two memory sticks. No, I did not push for higher!

Microsoft Windows 11 Home

Pros: Still has command prompt. Can play most games.

Cons: No better than any previous version. Have to click through extra menus to get to the useful older ones like control panel and device manager. Direct X is no longer separate.

Overall Review: It's windows, got to have an operating system.

AUKEY PA-Y20S Minima 20W Charger

AUKEY USB-C Mini Wall Charger 20W Fast Charger - White

Pros: Modern multi voltage output. Free with order.

Overall Review: Not sure where to stand on this technology as I prefer slow charging for extended life of batteries.

WD Black 6TB

WD Black 6TB Performance Desktop Hard Disk Drive - 7200 RPM SATA 6Gb/s 256MB Cache 3.5 Inch - WD6003FZBX

Pros: Fast for a disk drive and more reasonable price than an SSD. Recommend WD Black for your OS drive and a game drive.

Cons: Not as fast as SSD but higher capacity for lower price.

Overall Review: The only way to go for all your gaming needs. Fast and reliable high capacity at a reasonable price when bought on sale. To coin a phrase "Once you go black you won't go back". Best platter drives on the market!

Valentine earings

I felt NewEgg fell down on this one as the order was late because it was handed off to a third party "The Market Place". Even though I ordered Thursday PM and paid 2 day shipping it was still 2 days late for Valentines Day, didn't arrive until the following Thursday. I don't blame the market place vendor as they did ship fast, I hold NewEgg responsible for not clearly expressing this in their advertisement.

Kingwin 120mm fan

Great sale price. Yellow LEDs are very bright. Move a lot of air and is not very noisy.
