Don't waste your time/money

Pioneer VSX-524-K 5.1-Channel A/V Receiver
Pioneer VSX-524-K 5.1-Channel A/V Receiver

Pros: None

Cons: Sub-woofer line out on the receiver didn't work from day one. I used the speaker level inputs on my sub and that worked OK for a short time. The unit completely stopped making any sound less than a week after installation. The USB input doesn't even recognize working thumb drives with music on them. I've already mailed the rebate so Newegg won't take it back without the UPC on the box. This door-stop replaced a 20 year old Pioneer receiver that I now have to get out of the closet until I can buy another brand of receiver. This is my last Newegg purchase (15 year customer) and my last Pioneer purchase.

Overall Review: This purchase makes me feel very cheated.

Bought to run LLMs on LM Studio

ASRock Challenger Radeon RX 7600 XT 16GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 x8 ATX Graphics Card RX7600XT CL 16GO
ASRock Challenger Radeon RX 7600 XT 16GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 x8 ATX Graphics Card RX7600XT CL 16GO

Pros: Low cost 16GB GPU for local AI x8 for bifurcated PCIe bus Works well with LM Studio on Windows and Linux

Cons: No cons for my use.

Overall Review: I've run a bunch of LLMs on this using LM Studio and it works great. This was my only low cost x8 with 16GB option. I bifurcated the PCIe bus to use more NVMe drives in PCIe adapters and this GPU is perfect for my use.

Works as advertized.

CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model CMK32GX4M2E3200C16
CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model CMK32GX4M2E3200C16

Pros: I combined this 32GB kit with a different 32GB kit for 64 GB total. Timings were similar but I did manually edit the primary and secondary timings slightly. Also raised SOC to 1.1 and RAM voltage to 1.4. Works well.

Cons: Supposed to be free,came with a 5800x for $179. Amason had the CPU only for $165. So, the 32GB RAM was really $14. Not bad.

Overall Review: Good deal when this comes with a CPU. The chips in mine are Micron. Same chips that the other brand RAM kit I used with this has.

Team Group DDR4

Team T-FORCE VULCAN Z 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model TLZGD416G3200HC16CDC01
Team T-FORCE VULCAN Z 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model TLZGD416G3200HC16CDC01

Pros: Good quality Micron 32GB kit and Hynix 16GB kits. Good PCBs

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Over-clocks very easy. Two 16GB kits were Hynix. Single 32GB kit was Micron. All were 3200 and are running at 3600 to 3800 with slight CL bumps. When secondary and tertiary timings are adjusted they run very fast and pass all the memory stress tests.

OC was easy

Team T-FORCE VULCAN Z 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model TLZGD432G3200HC16FDC01

Overall Review: 3200 XMP was 16,20,20,40 3600 was an easy 18,21,21,42. 1.4V May try later to tighten up the timings. So far, very stable and passed all the memory tests.

When I ordered this CPU, this was one of the better deals I found. I guess some Ryzen CPUs are scarce. Many sellers are out of stock or selling at higher prices. These guys seemed fair.
