Pros: Was able to get faster RAM timings on first gen Ryzen compared to my older RAM. Only 3000, but as many know first gen Ryzen was terrible with most RAM chips other than Samsung B-die. Price was a factor and getting B-die is expensive. These were priced really well.

Cons: None as of yet. A bit troublesome when doing manual timings. Plan on doing CMOS resets a lot if you tinker with OC, like I do. This probably isn't an issue if you are on an Intel platform or a newer gen of Ryzen than myself. X370 was stabilized a bit, but the limitations on RAM speed still exist.

Overall Review: I plan on using this kit mainly when I upgrade to Ryzen 4000 series, where I know I can get the full rated speed from the RAM. In the meantime I'm enjoying 16GB of extra RAM which helps with video rendering times mostly and a decent bump from my old kit that would only hit 2800 stable. I was able to get 12-14-14-32 timings stable at 3000 with this kit. 3200 just seems impossible as my IMC on my Ryzen 1600 is just probably not good.

Pros: Worked well for about 6 months then...

Cons: BOOM! Yesterday the unit blew up, shotgun style. Hit the power switch and a very loud bang. Now, this is the 2nd unit that I've had that's had issues. The first one was RMA'd do to having a high pitch squeal. The replacement seemed to work fine without issues until it suddenly went bang. It even took out the surge protector it was connected through.

Overall Review: I don't know what else to say. This product was reviewed well by many sites. Guess it could be really bad luck to have 2 units bad, and 1 of them blow up. I have never had this happen before. Needless to say, I'm going to have to contact Corsair and RMA this unit. In the meantime I have installed a temporary PSU and luckily it seems the unit at least did one thing right, it's safety features appear to have worked and kept the rest of the computer intact. The PC seems to be running fine with a new PSU installed. I'm concerned that QA might be letting a few stinkers through considering the 12+ years I've worked with computers and never had an issue like this with a single product. Sure, I've had a few DOA items, but the replacements always worked. This is the first time I've had to go for a 3rd product. My faith in Corsair is wavering at this point. I'm almost tempted to not RMA the unit because, what if this 3rd one decides to be a dud, then blow up, but this time taking out over 1k in hardware? Invested in a 'good' PSU so I don't have to deal with the garbage PSU units and it seems right now that this unit is not all it's cracked up to be.

Pros: As the title says great 1080p performing GPU. I can scale some games to 4K that are older for a very nice fidelity in image quality. Over clocks decently when it's cool it maintains over 2k on GPU clock. Can get about 750 OC on memory stable. Anything higher I believe is not possible with the 106% power limit. Plays everything well, and when I upgrade my 1609 to a 400 series CPU, I believe I will get a nice performance boost because of how limiting first gen Ryzen was to gaming.

Cons: Nvidia enforcing power limits. 106% on this card hampers what I believe to be a very good GPU. It wants to fly as I've seen clocks hit over 2050, but with more power and less thermal restrictions I think it could hit 2100. A shame really.

Overall Review: Still a great buy if you do 1080p gaming and dont care about high refresh monitors and just want to play almost any game out there in 1080p ultra at 60 FPS. My CPU is the limiting factor in my build, but once I upgrade I'll get more performance out of it.

Pros: The unit was easy to install. Fast as advertised in tests. Only 4 eggs for issues listed below.

Cons: Had to go into disk management to set up a partition. Not a huge deal for those that understand how to do this, but for other users expecting to see the drive show up automatically, this could e a potential problem for those not as computer savvy. I used this drive exclusively for my game installs as my system drive is a 512MB SSD drive and was getting full. I expected much faster load times, but honestly that isn't the case. Most load times are the same or only slightly faster.

Overall Review: Still worth the money for 1TB of storage, just don't expect the drive to be much faster in reality to your SSD drive and be prepared to manually configure the drive for windows use after installing into your PC.

Pros: This may be a bit older model of camera, but don't let that dissuade you from buying this camera. The low light video and photos of this camera are pretty amazing. This was the main reason why I purchased this camera. I shoot videos in low light situations when doing sound for bands, and you also have the challenge of bright stage lights, and nothing comes out overexposed or blooming in the videos I have recorded so far. Even night time sky shooting is pretty good with the built-in exposure timings up to 60 seconds. The included 14-42mm lens gives you a good starting point, but for more specific applications such as serious night time shooting, a lower f-stop lens would be of much more use. That also applies to portrait shooting if you really want to get the bokeh effect. The stock lens achieves this, but not as much depth of field as a full frame camera, but still pretty darn good. Images are crisp, and do not suffer chromatic aberrations, and rarely does anything but the brightest objects become over-exposed. And with a quick change to exposure settings you can fix that instantly. The viewfinder has a LCD screen built-in, so the image you see is going to be roughly what your picture will look like since it's a direct image of your sensor, and not a reflection from a mirror like full frame cameras. The multi-shot capabilities is pretty fast. The auto-focus is also blazing fast with up to 49 areas of focal point. Continuous auto-focus for video works really well too for times when you want to focus on the action without having to think of focusing the camera yourself.

Cons: The function buttons are spread out a bit, and learning the menu takes a bit of time. I wouldn't say it's overly difficult, but I found it easier to just dig into the menu system without reading the lengthy manual that comes with the camera.

Overall Review: I would recommend this camera to anyone looking to upgrade from the smaller sensor point-and-shoot cameras, that just don't cut it in low light photo and video environments! The Lumix GX7 gives you plenty of options like a full frame camera, but at a lower cost. If you can find good deals on extra lenses, this setup can easily beat the cost of full frame cameras giving the Lumix G7 a very good value/performance ratio in my opinion.

Pros: Fast interface

Cons: Dolby 5.1 will not work Setup is tedious Roku support is lacking Roku never shuts off

Overall Review: First of all, this unit specifications describe a 4661R unit, but what I have gotten in my box is a 2017 model 4660X. Secondly, no matter what surround setting I use I can't get Dolby Digital surround sound. Even on Netflix it doesn't show the audio option for 5.1 like it does on my PS3. I'm still waiting to hear back from Roku, and when you spend 90 bucks on a new product and your older product does what you want it to, I'm about 90% sure at this point I'll be sending this unit back for a refund. It's not what I paid for to begin with. Roku looks to be doing some shady practice of taking older stock models (in my case 4660X) and selling it as a new 2018 4661R model when it's not. That alone is enough for me to get a bad reputation for a company, let alone the issues I'm having getting surround sound to work. I would recommend going with a different streaming unit. You might not get the proper 2018 model in your box. I did get the JBL earbuds, so I know this is supposed to be a 2018 model, not a 2017. From what I read the 2017 models came with some cheap earbuds, not quality JBL's. Shame too because the earbuds work well.
