Fast memory, OC to 3800mhz. Runs Hot and Geardown Mode required

G.SKILL Trident Z Neo Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800) Desktop Memory Model F4-3600C14D-32GTZN
G.SKILL Trident Z Neo Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800) Desktop Memory Model F4-3600C14D-32GTZN

Pros: OCs to 3800CL14 Was able to tighten secondary timings Improved memory bandwidth over 3800CL16. Slightly better benchmarks.

Cons: Requires GDM on (at least the set I got). Runs hot and needs fan to OC/tighten timings. Voltage hungry

Overall Review: OCd to 3800CL14. Same ram as the 3800mhz version just not binned as well. I was able to OC it with some additional voltage and a fan. Will not work with GDM disabled. I replaced 3600CL16 that I had OC to 3800CL16 that worked fine with GDM off. I guess it is just the kit itself but overall I gained about 1GBs memory bandwidth. Probably not worth it to most people but if you have to have the fastest you end up paying!

Nice board for the money

ASUS Striker II Extreme LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 790i Ultra SLI ATX Intel Motherboard
ASUS Striker II Extreme LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 790i Ultra SLI ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Runs great at stock speeds, trying to tweak a little oc and stay stable. Hard to find the balance cant seem to isolate the issue (voltages, fsb, etc). QX9650 some have OC to 4+ ghz I am just trying to get 3.5 or so! Ran at 4ghz one night, then next day wont run at 3.3ghz??

Cons: Cant get SLI memory to work (because it wants to run at 1800mhz and I have read this board wont handle more than 1600-1700 mhz). Asus says use approved memory (guess what no SLI memory is on the list!)

Overall Review: I am happy with the upgrade, just dont expect to get the advertised speeds!

Good with a real bad flaw (mic level)

Corsair VOID RGB ELITE Wireless USB Type-A Connector Circumaural Premium Gaming Headset with 7.1 Surround Sound, Carbon
Corsair VOID RGB ELITE Wireless USB Type-A Connector Circumaural Premium Gaming Headset with 7.1 Surround Sound, Carbon

Pros: Great sound with some EQ tweaks Good Surround Sound and positional awareness

Cons: Poor mic performance, very low level. Poor battery life compared to my former set

Overall Review: Great sound but unfortunately these have a major flaw in the Mic (2nd most important thing about Gaming Headset). No interest from manufacturer to correct issue (multiple people reporting this). FW is version .01 or something like that. What is that Beta? Come on Corsair fix these please! I RMA'd first set with Newegg (took like 4 weeks). New set people can kind of hear me but I literally have to eat the mic. It basically has to be touching my bottom lip or they wont hear me which is annoying. I will keep for now until I can get something better, I might even try a desk mic and not use the headset mic (which will stink).

Great case, superb cooling (with front off)

Phanteks Eclipse P600S PH-EC600PSTG_AG01 Anthracite Gray Steel / Tempered Glass ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: The case is super easy to do a clean install. I just upgraded my system and kept the case!

Cons: Not a major con for me, but front and top has to be off for best cooling

Overall Review: I love this case and its great to work on and tinker with. Pics didnt come out too good but it looks amazing.

Decent cooling, bad software

CORSAIR Hydro Series, H115i RGB PLATINUM, 280mm, 2 x ML PRO 140mm RGB PWM Fans, RGB Lighting & Fan Control w/ Software, Liquid CPU Cooler. CW-9060038-WW. Support: Intel 1200, 2066, AMD AM4, TR4.
CORSAIR Hydro Series, H115i RGB PLATINUM, 280mm, 2 x ML PRO 140mm RGB PWM Fans, RGB Lighting & Fan Control w/ Software, Liquid CPU Cooler. CW-9060038-WW. Support: Intel 1200, 2066, AMD AM4, TR4.

Pros: This unit works well with Cooling, the RGB is nice.

Cons: The software is bad and conflicts with my AIDA64 monitoring software. Constantly get the USB disconnecting sound when software running so I stopped using it until I got Corsair Headset which also requires same software.

Overall Review: I might get it again but wouldn't get the headphones so I didn't have to use software. It seen Corsair doesnt test their software or products with anything besides their stuff.

Great card for a premium

ASUS ROG STRIX GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER Advanced Overclocked 8G GDDR6 HDMI DisplayPort USB Type-C Gaming Graphics Card (ROG-STRIX-RTX2070S-A8G-GAMING)
ASUS ROG STRIX GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER Advanced Overclocked 8G GDDR6 HDMI DisplayPort USB Type-C Gaming Graphics Card (ROG-STRIX-RTX2070S-A8G-GAMING)

Pros: This card is quite and fast. I replaced a STRIX RX-480 OC and it is faster with similar software and controls. I looked at other RTX 2070 options for less but decided to stick with the ROG STRIX line.

Cons: Not really a negative, but a very large card. Just fits in my Mid Tower (which I want to upgrade next year).

Overall Review: I think if you are willing to pay for it and can afford it then this is a great card!
