My first thoughts were that this is an exceptional piece of hardware. For the price of $144.99, at the time of writing this, you can get 32GB of memory with an access time of 5 ns. This memory is faster than most of the more expensive sticks. The sticks came in with a delicately designed and very easy to open packaging.

Team Group: XTREEM ARGB RAM Review

Memory Reviews

RAM is a lot when it comes to computers. Can increase speed, performance, and everything in between. But, TEAMGROUP really showed us just how much of a statement they can make in such a competitive field, and the XTREEM ARGB is no understatement.

This RAM is one of the best I have ever seen. With a CAS Latency (CL) of 14 running at 3200 MHz brings this to a 4 nanosecond response time! Having this in your system would almost always increase performance.

^THE PICTURE IS ALSO A LINK^

The RAM does come with options, with the highest being a 5333 with a CL of 22! Which is a 4.1 nanosecond response time. Now, that package is 2x8GB sticks, but it is still very fast. And with their lifetime warranty, you will never have to buy another stick of RAM again.

Pictured above is simply just another color option you can choose.

These are some of the best RAM I have seen in a while. I mean, the fact that there is even RAM that is that fast is insane.

G.SKILL Trident Z5 RGB Series DDR5 6400 Review

NT IT Reviews

About G.SKILL Trident Z5 RGB Series DDR5 6400

  • CAS Latency 32
  • 32 GB
  • Dual-Channel
  • Non-ECC
  • Volts 1.40V
  • Non-Parity

 

First Thoughts

G.SKILL Trident Z5 DDR5 6400 is a very nice memory set, it performs very well and is very efficient but the only reason I would get DDR5 is if it is required for your motherboard. You can get DDR4 memory sticks for a way better price that are just as fast. So if you have the plan to build a motherboard around your memory or off of your memory would not suggest this memory for you. If you plan to put it in a motherboard you have already acquired I would suggest this memory for you.

G.Skill Ripjaws V Series

Memory Reviews

Picture of ramThe Ripjaws V Series from G.Skill is an exceptional piece of memory. It can go up to 5333MHz allowing for high speed gameplay or working. This also includes a CAS latency of 22. Finding the absolute speed of this ram shows that it writes at 4.125 NS which is faster than most can go. This ram is relatively inexpensive at $250 for 2 x 8gb sticks. The memory works good with many motherboards as well showing it can be compatible with motherboards than have speeds from 3600 – 5333Mhz.

Newegg Rating

This motherboard has a rating of 4.5 out of 5 eggs showing that it is rated good by those who have bought it. The rating also displays how the memory is worth the cost of $250. This memory continues to display its worth by showing that is very small at 42mm and is able to be fit in with many oversized CPU heatsinks.

This memory also has XMP support allowing overclocking to a good degree. To add to this it also comes with a lifetime warranty incase of an accident or any other things that many happen to your ram. This ram is non-parity and non-ECC showing that is not made for servers but rather for people seeking pure performance.

Intel Core i9 12900KF

CPU reviews

The Intel Core i9 12900KF is one of the best CPUs I personally have ever tested and I am happy to share my thoughts and facts to base them off of. This CPU is priced at $616.99 and has 16 cores and 24 threads to allow you to complete a variety of different tasks at once. The i9 12900KF is one of the KF counterparts to the K-series CPUs that were produced by Intel, which are usually cheaper than the K-series, but can be just as effective on certain tasks.

 

Motherboards that are best fit for this CPU are motherboards with the LGA 1700 CPU socket that can allow up to 2.4GHz of speed for the CPU to function at peak performance. This CPU is great to work for Windows 11 and makes Windows 10 work like it’s brand new. Your best options for memory are DDR4/DDR5 so long as the speed is close if not the same as the CPU.

Using the specifications below, I have found where another person has tested this CPU and got their own results and their own opinion on it. (the image is a link to the site)

  • The new P-core is faster than a Zen 3 core, and uses 55-65 W in ST
  • The new E-core is faster than Skylake, and uses 11-15 W in ST
  • Maximum all-core power recorded was 272 W, but usually below 241 W (even in AVX-512)
  • Despite Intel saying otherwise, Alder Lake does have AVX-512 support (if you want it)!
  • Overall Performance of i9-12900K is well above i9-11900K
  • Performance against AMD overall is a mixed bag: win on ST, MT varies
  • Performance per Watt of the P-cores still lags Zen3
  • There are some fundamental Windows 10 issues (that can be solved)
  • Don’t trust thermal software just yet, it says 100C but it’s not
  • Linux idle power is lower than Windows idle power
  • DDR5 gains shine through in specific MT tests, otherwise neutral to DDR4

(the list above is not my words, the credit to this list belongs to Dr. Ian Cutress & Andrei Frumusanu)

Looking back on all of what has been stated/listed, this CPU has a record of working great for whatever task is required of it. Don’t just take my word for it, go out and find other reviews on this if you are interested in making this purchase to get the opinion of countless others.

AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3960X Review

CPU reviews

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3960X is currently ranked as the number one best value cpu for the sTRX4 AMD motherboards. The CPU is a little pricey, but it will provide the best performance for its buck.

The CPU is currently listed at $1518.99 on the manufacturers website.

 

 

The specification of the CPU are quite good:

  •  

    28 Cores

  • 48 Threads
  • Base Frequency of 3.8 GHz
  • Boost Frequency of 4.5 GHz
  • 128 MB of L3 Cache

 

This CPU is rated highly on Passmark. I has an overall rating of 54,701 and a single thread rating of 2678. This CPU can compete with other middle end CPUs in single thread and blows them out of the water for overall rating.

While there are cheaper options for great performance, this is your best choice for a good bang for your buck.

review of the Intel core i5-12600k

CPU reviews

I have recently researched and tested the intel core i5-12600k and I will show the pros and cons of this CPU and why its one of the best valued CPUs on the market. my recent experience with this CPU has been surprisingly great.

here are the specs:

  • LGA 1700
  • 10 cores 16 threads
  • 20MB L3 or L2 smart cache

research shows that this CPU on passmark.com has a 26705 rating and a 3970 single thread rating, relatively faster than any CPU’s that are cheap on the market. One example to prove

this is with the Intel Core i5-10400F with a Passmark rating only at 12438 and a single thread rating at 1279 for 150$ so don’t be fooled just by looking at the price. although this CPU is priced at 299$ on newegg.com and is one of the best CPU’s from intel that would get the most out of your money if your intending to make a home/ gaming pc.

 

 

 

 

 

In conclusion this CPU is great and quick with transferring data and is very resourceful with the space it has, I think its a great CPU that is the most out of your budget when getting CPUs.

this cpu is rated 5 out of 5 by 50 buyers on newegg.com
