Most Favorable Review

Very fast R/W speed

Silicon Power 1TB NVMe PCIe Gen3 x4 M.2 2280 TLC R/W up to 3,400/3,000 MB/s SSD (SP001TBP34A80M28)
Silicon Power 1TB NVMe PCIe Gen3 x4 M.2 2280 TLC R/W up to 3,400/3,000 MB/s SSD (SP001TBP34A80M28)

Cons: Problems with thermal throttling and shut downs when gaming. Even when I moved my video card into the vertical position with a ribbon and off the top of the ssd, I still had problems. I ordered a heatsink for the nvme. Hopefully that helps.

Overall Review: Writes at around 3200. Reads are about 3400. Blows my 960 EVO away.

good motherboard, but...

ASUS ROG STRIX X670E-E GAMING WIFI AMD X670 AM5 Ryzen Desktop 9000 8000 & 7000 ATX motherboard, 18+2 power stages, DDR5, 4x M.2 slots with heatsink, PCIe 5.0, USB 3.2 Gen 2x2, WiFi 6E, AI Cooling II
ASUS ROG STRIX X670E-E GAMING WIFI AMD X670 AM5 Ryzen Desktop 9000 8000 & 7000 ATX motherboard, 18+2 power stages, DDR5, 4x M.2 slots with heatsink, PCIe 5.0, USB 3.2 Gen 2x2, WiFi 6E, AI Cooling II

Pros: Many good features. Lots of m2 storage, and full pciex16 with a pcie 5.0 storage device.

Cons: Horribly long boot time. 20 to 25 seconds before you get a bios beep. Had a raid 0 array that crashed after 3 weeks. Fragged one drive. Set up with one drive(non raid). Boot times still 20 to 25 seconds, just to get to the bios beep. And now none of my mic ports work.

Overall Review: Disappointed in this board

Good memory, but...

AMD Ryzen 5 5600G - Ryzen 5 5000 G-Series Cezanne (Zen 3) 6-Core 3.9 GHz Socket AM4 65W AMD Radeon Graphics Desktop CPU Processor - 100-100000252BOX
AMD Ryzen 5 5600G - Ryzen 5 5000 G-Series Cezanne (Zen 3) 6-Core 3.9 GHz Socket AM4 65W AMD Radeon Graphics Desktop CPU Processor - 100-100000252BOX

Pros: Booted right up. Set xmp to profile 1, rebooted, and cas was as advertised

Cons: Caused RGBfusion to stop working. Updated had same problem. Replaced memory with different set and RGB Fusion worked again. Will see if next update of Rgb fusion fixes this. Until then, only 4 stars

Overall Review: An 8 out of ten due to incompatibility with argb software

Good speed for hdd.

Pros: Good read/write times for a hard drive.

Overall Review: Good drive for storage or backup, but an ssd is a much better boot drive
