Most Favorable Review

So far no issues with it.

ASUS TUF GAMING B550-PLUS AMD AM4 (3rd Gen Ryzen) ATX Gaming Motherboard (PCIe 4.0, 2.5Gb LAN, HDMI 2.1, BIOS FlashBack, USB 3.2 Gen 2, Addressable Gen 2 RGB Header and AURA Sync)
ASUS TUF GAMING B550-PLUS AMD AM4 (3rd Gen Ryzen) ATX Gaming Motherboard (PCIe 4.0, 2.5Gb LAN, HDMI 2.1, BIOS FlashBack, USB 3.2 Gen 2, Addressable Gen 2 RGB Header and AURA Sync)

Pros: I may not ever use it but the Bios flash/update features are nice. PCI-E 4.0 and RGB headers. Nice dashboard thing when you boot into the BIOS in basic mode.

Cons: For some it's a Con, for others it may not matter. It has the compatibility support module disabled by default. I had to enable it in order to see more boot options and allow it to find Windows that I had installed with a different system. It wouldn't boot until I did this.

Overall Review: It's fancy and reasonably priced. RGB headers might be fun to play around with.

Most Critical Review

Decent Mouse

Nixeus REVEL REV-BK16 Black 5 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB Wired Optical 12000 dpi Gaming Mouse
Nixeus REVEL REV-BK16 Black 5 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB Wired Optical 12000 dpi Gaming Mouse

Pros: - Seems like a good quality mouse overall. - Tracking seems good.

Cons: - The mouse scroll wheel feels cheap compared to another cheaper mouse I own. It doesn't bring pleasure to my life when I scroll the wheel. - It doesn't seem flashy enough to be considered a "gaming mouse" but I guess the DPI is "gaming mouse" level. - You have to cycle through like 8 different mouse speed levels to get back to the previous one. It needs forward and back speed buttons.

Overall Review: Seems like a good quality mouse but I like my cheap off brand e-b-a-y mouse better. My other cheapo mouse has a wheel that scrolls like butter.

Good Card

Sapphire Pulse AMD RADEON RX 6800 GAMING GRAPHICS CARD WITH 16GB GDDR6, AMD RDNA 2 (11305-02-20G)
Sapphire Pulse AMD RADEON RX 6800 GAMING GRAPHICS CARD WITH 16GB GDDR6, AMD RDNA 2 (11305-02-20G)

Pros: - It can do RT at 1080p with upscaling at around 60 FPS depending on the game and settings - Runs fairly cool - Very minimal sag. It doesn't need it but I rigged something to tie the end up to something higher in case anyway. Just something to put a slight upward tension on the end.

Cons: - It does have coil whine...more like coil buzz actually when running hard at high utilization

Overall Review: The 6800 non XT is like a better 7700 XT for less money. About the same performance with more memory and a little bit higher memory bandwidth. About the same watts used also. I would like to give 5 stars, but giving 4 because of the coil whine noise.

Nice Headphones

Rosewill SAROS C740S Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) Wireless Over-Ear Headphones, Rechargeable with up to 40 Hours of Playtime, 40mm Driver, Superior HQ Sound, Foldable Earcups, Portable for Travel
Rosewill SAROS C740S Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) Wireless Over-Ear Headphones, Rechargeable with up to 40 Hours of Playtime, 40mm Driver, Superior HQ Sound, Foldable Earcups, Portable for Travel

Pros: - Has a lot of bass compared to my other cheap Chinese headphones. - Bluetooth works well - Other people say the noise cancelling isn't that good, but I disagree...I think the noise cancelling works pretty well. - You don't have to put them INSIDE of your ears like most small bluetooth ones.

Cons: - Nothing yet but I havn't used them very much at this point. - The only thing that seems a little off is the included 3.5 mm cable to use as wired. It's flat, not very long, and seems like it might break easily. I would get my own cable if I wanted to use it wired.

Overall Review: I would recommend them.

Nice Set of Spatulas, Spoons, etc...

Rosewill Kitchen Silicone Cooking Utensil Set | High Heat Resistant Spatulas, Spoons, Ladle, Tongs With Stainless Steel Handle, Draining Holder | 14-Piece, Food Grade, Dishwasher Safe (RHKU-21001)

Pros: My spatula game has been elevated to new heights.

Cons: They can't plugged into my computer, despite having the Rosewill brand.

Overall Review: They are made of silicone but are not silly at all. They are a very serious collection kitchen tools for the completion of tasks.

Works fine so far.

Intel 670p Series M.2 2280 1TB PCIe NVMe 3.0 x4 QLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SSDPEKNU010TZX1
Intel 670p Series M.2 2280 1TB PCIe NVMe 3.0 x4 QLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SSDPEKNU010TZX1

Pros: Fast M.2 cheap

Cons: Include a screw and standoff! :-p I was like, "Ok, I need to find my own screw." It couldn't be a regular size screw, had to be extra tiny. So I found a screw and accidentally didn't put the standoff under it (first m.2 drive). I realized it didn't look right and put a standoff before turning it on, but I still *turned metal threaded fastener* (newegg didn't like my original word) it down too far. It's working fine...but if you include a standoff and screw people like me will be like, "oh this must be for something...duhhh".

Overall Review: I didn't do any benchmarks or heat tests but seems totally fine and it's cheap. I also don't really like the warranty void if removed sticker on the top of the chips. Yes it's only a thin sticker but did it really have to go there?
