Boss paste is boss

Noctua NT-H1 3.5g, Pro-Grade Thermal Compound Paste (3.5g)
Noctua NT-H1 3.5g, Pro-Grade Thermal Compound Paste (3.5g)

Pros: -is boss -used it on 6 applications so far ( 5 cpu's 1 gpu) -usually drops cpu temps by 6 degrees and gpu by 3 (before curing) -not an expert but doesnt taste too good

Cons: cap is a little annoying

Great ram kit but doesn't work on XPS 15 9520

G.SKILL Ripjaws SO-DIMM 32GB (2 x 16GB) 262-Pin DDR5 SO-DIMM DDR5 4800 (PC4 38400) Laptop Memory Model F5-4800S3434A16GX2-RS
G.SKILL Ripjaws SO-DIMM 32GB (2 x 16GB) 262-Pin DDR5 SO-DIMM DDR5 4800 (PC4 38400) Laptop Memory Model F5-4800S3434A16GX2-RS

Cons: Must have XMP capabilities

Overall Review: I got this kit as it has the tightest timings, CL34 for a ddr5 4800Mhz ram kit available at the moment. Doesn't works on XPS 15 9520 as it requires XMP. I thought the profile was loaded on the JDEC chip for PlugNPlay but no. My laptop doesn't support XMP profiles. Also, I was expecting the kit to at least boot. Unfortunately, my laptop refused to boot with both sticks and with 1 stick installed... Might have something to do with the PMIC?

Perfect Ryzen Memory - Fixed all my glitches

CORSAIR Dominator Platinum RGB 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800) AMD Optimized Desktop Memory Model CMT32GX4M2Z3600C14
CORSAIR Dominator Platinum RGB 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800) AMD Optimized Desktop Memory Model CMT32GX4M2Z3600C14

Pros: - Clocks very well. - Highly binned as others online suggest - Good with voltage - There is another corsair kit ( CMW32GX4M2Z3600C14 ) with the same everything for 30$ cad cheaper. For anyone buying this I'd probably save the cash and go there

Cons: - Expensive as heckk - Not many reviews or forum posts about this ram, if any at all. - Out of stock (No surprise)

Overall Review: TLDR; Dual Rank, Tight timings, C-die, supports high voltage. Perfect mate for Ryzen CPU's. The dies are Samsung K4A8G085WC-BCTD Extremely high bin. My PC: Ryzen 5800x MSI MAG B550m Mortar EVGA 650w SFX PSU Gigabyte Aorus Master 3080 rev1.00 To start, I used to own CJR 32gb kit that couldn't run anywhere near its rated speed of 3600 c18. In fact I had downclocked them to 3200 20-20-20-32!! They also hated voltage. I got the worst binned chips lol. That is where my ddr4 ram tuning rabbit hole began. I initially thought my motherboard was bad so I went and replaced my ASUS TUF B550m to MSI B550m mortar. IMO much better MicroATX motherboard stability wise. The MSI could boot into the bios after a failed ram OC as opposed to the ASUS which needed a clear cmos. This kit's IC's don't show up in thaiphoon burner. So I took the heatsink apart chips were Samsung C-Die, not the B-die that I was expecting! I was very hesitant to start tuning, but decided to try it any ways before returning it for a known b-die like: OLOy Blade RGB 32GB ND4U1636144BRADE I was blown away at the performance! DO NOT COPY PASTE; Silicon lottery does exist... I set it to: 1T Gear-down-mode enabled 14-16-14-14-30-44 (Read online that Dual-Rank needs TRCDRD to be higher for stability) 3200MHz 1.45(stock Voltage) V-SOC 1.15V V-CCD 1.1V V-IOD 1.1V Saved the BIOS profile and booted and tested. Then increased the frequency until the system crashed... Which it didn't!! The System kept booting until 3800MHZ but was unstable in windows so I increased voltage from 1.45V to 1.48V and BAM 300% memtest on all 32gb! I want stability so I wont push it further. All in all, happy with the purchase. It solved all my instability and stuttering in games and apps.

extremely fast game drive

SAMSUNG 970 EVO PLUS M.2 2280 1TB PCIe Gen 3.0 x4, NVMe 1.3 V-NAND Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-V7S1T0B/AM
SAMSUNG 970 EVO PLUS M.2 2280 1TB PCIe Gen 3.0 x4, NVMe 1.3 V-NAND Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-V7S1T0B/AM

Pros: - Upgraded from a wd blue sn550 SSD. no longer experiencing hiccups when moving from one area to another in games. - one of the few manufacturers to not shoot themselves in the foot and change their nand flash or controller - Fat warranty

Cons: none

Overall Review: - avoid QLC and/or dramless ssd's if you want a seamless gaming experience like on consoles and get this

Nintendo switch SD card

SAMSUNG PRO Plus 128GB microSDXC Flash Card w/ Adapter Model MB-MD128KA/AM
SAMSUNG PRO Plus 128GB microSDXC Flash Card w/ Adapter Model MB-MD128KA/AM

Pros: -reliable -huge warranty

Cons: -compared to the old Samsung evo plus micro SD, the difference in speed is <5%

Overall Review: I would definitely recommend for reliability and warranty, but if you're going for speed just go with the cheaper Samsung evo model. tested on a Nintendo switch oled

VERY fast drive

Western Digital WD BLACK SN750 NVMe M.2 2280 1TB PCI-Express 3.0 x4 64-layer 3D NAND Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) WDS100T3X0C
Western Digital WD BLACK SN750 NVMe M.2 2280 1TB PCI-Express 3.0 x4 64-layer 3D NAND Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) WDS100T3X0C

Pros: Gets the advertised speeds. after a clean install, windows booted faster than anything my eyes had ever seen!

Cons: Runs warm but thats normal for nvme drives i guess :/

Overall Review: four eggs because once you load a bunch of programs on the drive you really cant tell the difference between this and a decent sata drive with the naked eye.. Shame. I think its because they dont have much more iops?? or something something latencyy??
