Its a beast works as designed

Affordable Low Power Draw Runs Cool.

Overclocked out of the box and able to push it even further

Reaches advertised speeds out of the box. Exceptional 5 year warranty. Good drive capacity, 1TB is great for boot and storage. Fast.

- Good power for standard ATX - ATX 3.1 Compatible - All the cables you need


Idk if its the overall cooling of my case but I used this in my build and my idle temps are 32 degrees and around 40-50 while gaming.

I found that in the m.2 #1 socket, no go, that was under the video card which is in the second slot from the too big ryzen x399 cooler. So I looked in the manual and went to #2 m.2 socket and my computer detected the 1TB drive. Then it was a matter of unplugging the spinning disk drive and using an old 1909 windows 10-64 downloaded disk from way back and it loaded windows 10. Then installed many old programs I like then to Update and Security to get version 22H2 by download. The drive is now my primary hard drive and this is a first time for me with M.2. I bought this with the heatsink so I don't have to worry about that. Everything works.

Pros: Connections were clearly marked and logically organized. All the screws and cables were in the box. Cables were long enough for my mid-tower build. Runs quiet and has gold efficiency.

newegg sent the wrong item, but was quickly corrected. Correct item was shipped even before they recieved the returned item. Using the drive in a usb enclosure for system backup. Works fast

Pros: The Seagate Ironwolf 16 TB HDD is spacious, robust for a platter drive, and dense with a cache of 256 MB and a speed of 7,200 RPM on a typical SATA III power and data connection. You can really tell the platters are packed tight as this drive is a couple pounds or at least feels like it. Upon formatting in a Windows 10 x64 machine, this drive offers 14.5 TB usable. While this drive is intended for a NAS environment, I always utilize drives in a JBOD environment with manual RAID 1 so as to be more selective over data. On power-up, this drive is significantly louder than others I’ve owned, probably due to the seek arm aligning; however it presents no issue after a couple seconds. Reads: This Ironwolf drive performed surprisingly well in all read tests I ran on it. Utilizing HDTune, speeds started around 270 MB/sec and eventually fell to 125 MB/sec at the end of the platter structure. Access time was in the 14-16ms range with CPU utilization of 8-9% on a 7940X (14-core) system. Bursts were nearly at 500 MB/sec, however the cache fills quickly on a large transfer. Placing photography work on this new drive, it’s performed very well, and while not at the speed of an SSD, the cache helps to speed up short term data. This makes it feel at times like an SSD since my particular work is serial. Manually upping the queue / threads beyond 2 starts to make any performance metrics dip seemingly square to the amount of requests, though giving this drive many small files makes performance quite impacted. For an as-expected NAS environment though, most users are requesting a mix of files or larger transfers and I saw no issue with that given an expected performance drop. In Crystal DiskMark x64, this meant a sequential read of again, over 200 MB/sec; around 230. Yet any 4K data (where traditional HDDs struggle) relegated this drive to sub-2 MB/sec performance. As usual, if you need high performance on many tiny files, go SSD / NVMe. Writes: The writes on this drive proved similar to the read levels. Transfers start off fast, reaching around 250 MB/sec at the start of the platter, then falling in toothed fashion down to 125 MB/sec at the end. Bursts clocked in just under 300 MB/sec for writes which is very impressive for a platter drive. Access time was about 5-6ms, with identical CPU usage. Crystal DiskMark x64 echoed similar results as above, with writes reaching a generalized 250 MB/sec, yet at 4 KB file size, falling to 2.5 MB/sec. In sending over large amounts of data to this new working drive (over 5 TB), I saw the cache benefit greatly with video files and other large pieces of data, far exceeding typical transfer rates. Sometimes I’d see bursts to this drive at over 1 GB/sec, holding for a few, then moving down to the 200 MB/sec range so it simply depends on what you’re writing to this drive in terms of file make up to accurately gauge performance.

My brother was doing a grant thing to build a computer. This processor had a total of $97 after a little discount code and it is probably the best processor Ive ever installed and has very good performance for the price. It also paired well with his 1660 Super

-easy to order -tracking notices right on target -received RAM on time in good order and they worked perfectly when installed

Built in WiFi on a budget board! Great price, easy to use bios, looks and preforms well so far!

Very good gaming CPU. Very efficient and performs well.

-Cost -Easy to install

Decent gaming performance at stock, performs notably better than my overclocked 7700x Excellent overclocking performance, gets similar gaming performance to my 7800x3D after tuning ram (running DDR5 8000 with manually tuned timings) and overclocking the cores, D2D, NGU, and Ring Ridiculous multithreading, it's an ultra 9 285k in all but name. in many cases it's faster due to the increase uncore clocks at stock. Absolutely shreds my rendering workloads. no Price, $300 is midrange tier pricing in the big 2026 unfortunately. But this CPU is very clearly very high end.

Fast Cool Efficient High Speeds

Exceptional sticks! Overclocking is easy with these bad boys. Zero hitches with installation and set up. G.Skill slays it again with their DDR5 line up.

Easy to install but took more force than anticipated. It is my first time tho lol. Rgb is amazing.
