Be careful with ram

I didn't get the full ram speed out that the ram was rated for. I had to set it a bit lower to get it to run. Ddr5 is a bit finicky. Do some research if you want to get the highest speed out of your ram.

Great vaule

This was a great purchase worked well, it is very heavy due to all the heat sinks. I only had one issue but I think it was self-inflicted which was my NVM.2 drive i moved over wouldn't boot to Windows so I had to install a new version of Windows on another driver and re-cover everything from the old one.
