The media could not be loaded. In general - all mentioned in this review products are as described and working as described. Almost all deserve 5 stars (commented if one or more stars are taken off). Instead of reviewing item by item I decided to write one review for all products used for one specific PC build. The purpose of this PC build - fancy compact gaming system.Items used in this build:--Item 1) OCPC Mini ITX Case, Hydra Italy Mini ITX PC Case, Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BK6D77DG/Very good case – compact, cool looking and efficient. The black color is the only variant I found on Amazon. With only cooling from top-down CPU cooler, the i7-13700K based system passed the stress test very well. Riser cable is not included – actually the riser cable for GPU orientation as shown on Amazon item photo does not exist. In order to build the system as shown, I bought a flexible riser cable (Item #2) and twisted it to 180°. Another simpler solution is to install GPU upside down as presented by other reviewers on Amazon.--Item 2) EZDIY-FAB PCIE 4.0 16x Extreme High Speed Flexible Riser Cable PCI Express Port GPU Extension Card-Dual Reverse Connector for ITX [21cm]. Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09S5DW3RX/-Does the job - exactly what I need for the project. Note: During system build I have to remove the bracket from the cable male connector and install it back after passing cable through the case hole.--Item 3) Power supply: Cooler Master V750 SFX Gold Full Modular, 750W, Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08LP7B7FM/- Works as supposed to. PSU had a noticeable burning smell for about 5 days, considering this is normal for a new PSU. If you want to build more powerful gaming system, I recommend the PCIe 5.0 ready 850W SFX PSU, something like ARESGAME GL850 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CHDS4J33/SFX-L PSU will work in Hydra Mini as well, but cable management will be tougher.--Item 4) CPU: Intel Core i7-13700K, Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BCF57FL5/- Good CPU, working well in gaming.--Item 5) Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix B760-I Gaming WiFi, Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BR8TVLPL/- Working as described, nice looking MB. Thank you, ASUS - now ROG motherboards have the Memtest86+ built in BIOS. This very helpful feature allows PC builders to check memory before operating system installation and prevent blue screens and failures during OS install and system use in case of defective memory.In my case originally ordered CORSAIR DOMINATOR PLATINUM RGB DDR5 RAM 64GB (2x32GB) 6400MHz (Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C1R95SPW/) was defective. Both memory modules came to life and showed ok in BIOS but Memtest86+ got errors. I did test modules one by one in the same memory slot and found out that one of the modules is the cause of the failures. Returned the defective memory and bought another from a different brand (Item #6). ASUS ROG Motherboard chosen for the look. In my opinion the best Intel (or may be overall) mini ITX MB on the market is MSI MPG Z790I Edge WiFi Gaming Motherboard (Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BHCJ6KQ2/ ) I own one and have a very best experience.--Item 6) Memory: TEAMGROUP T-Force Delta RGB DDR5 Ram 64GB (2x32GB) 6000MHz, Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BNTV1945/-Very good product, works as described, nice looking, recognized by Aura Sync.--Item 7) Graphics Card: MSI Gaming GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB, Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CCFZMHSM/- Graphics card work as supposed to, have low power consumption. This GPU was chosen for the look only. Anyway, the presented system can play all modern games well at 1440p. But if you want the very good gaming experience, I will recommend at least RTX 4070 Ti like MSI Gaming GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Ventus 2X 12G OC. And the very best (talking about built on Hydra Italy Mini Case) will be the system with 850W PCIe 5.0 SFX PSU and:a) MSI MPG Z790I Edge WiFi Gaming Motherboard, Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BHCJ6KQ2/b) Intel Core i9-13900KF, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BCFM3CJ4/c) ASUS ProArt GeForce RTX™ 4080 16GB OC, ( Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C75J66C8/). This compact GPU has included Graphics Card Holder which will work with presented builtI own all of these (a,b,c) components packed in another fancy mini ITX case (Phanteks PH-ES217A_BK02 Evolv Shift 2 Air Mini-ITX case, Fabric Side Panels) and they performed superb in games.--Item 8) SSD Disks:8.1) Primary (system): WD_BLACK 2TB SN850X NVMe Gen4 PCIe M.2 2280 WDS200T2X0E, Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B7CMZ3QH/8.2) Secondary (backup and media data): Crucial P3 Plus 4TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe M.2 CT4000P3PSSD8, Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B25M8FXX/- Very good products, works as described, no problems.--Item 9) Antec Power Supply Sleeved Cable, PSU Cables, PSU Extension Cable Kit / 1x24pin ATX / 2x8pin (4+4) EPS / 3X (6+2) pin PCI-E, 30cm Length with Combs, Dual EPS Red Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BN3H2K17/- Perfect fit for this project, good cables, looks nice.--Item 10)CPU cooler: ID-COOLING IS-67-XT Black 67mm Height Low Profile CPU Cooler, Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CFPY9CKZ/- Good design, keeps i7-13700K adequately cool in open Air PC Case. Mounting for regular size 120mm fan included. Easy installation - just install radiator 1st and mount fan after. ID-COOLING IS-67-XT chosen because of black color. In my opinion DeepCool AN600 Low Profile CPU Cooler (Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C4P8ZPWT/) has a little bit better cooling performance (I have one in a very compact Flex ATX build).--Item 11) EZDIY-FAB Moonlight 120mm RGB PWM Case Fan, Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07X8T79QY/Good, quiet and nice-looking fan. Actually, it is a leftover piece from a 9 fans ATX tower system build. If you want to build a similar system with a similar look, I recommend Cooler Master MF120 Halo² Fan Duo-Ring ARGB (Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BWKZGYXJ/). This fan has a similar look but has better airflow / air pressure.---Item 12) 24 Pin RGB Cable Extension Kit (used ARGB strip only), Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WN4G7KC/- The power cable connector to MB too tight - did not go all the way down, afraid to broke the MB if try to apply more force (the regular PSU cable fits perfect). Connector to PSU too tight as well, but was able to connect all the way down. Actually, in reality the system with this cable does not look good (too much RGB). Did use ARGB strip only for decoration purposes on the GPU side.--Item 13) Thermal Paste: ARCTIC MX-6. Optional - I have a very good experience using this thermal paste brand and always using it for the builds (so thermal paste provided by ID-COOLING was not used). Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09VDLH5M6/-----------Overall, I assume the goal is reached - the presented system can play recent games and look very cool (in my humble opinion).

Updated review:This is my 2nd kit, and since then I bought Asus Z790 Apex Encore. First kit I fried 1 stick, and this is my fault, I had set System Agent to 1.3v, and basically ran it into the ground using Buildzoid's settings, not blaming him. Changing VDDQ/VDD2 definitely had to play the role in frying 1 of 2 sticks. I also took off the heatspreader to add something else, and ran fans over them. Bad idea. Don't take off heatspreaders, or you increase the chance of frying sticks even with massive airflow.Teamgroup runs WAY cooler than G.Skill 6400mhz kit that I have (even at lower voltage of 1.35v), and Team Group is at 1.45v. Patriot Viper 8000mhz runs WAY hotter too. My Viper 8000mhz kit did not bin proper, I could not stabilize even 7800mhz. It refused to boot on 8000mhzNo issues with Team Group booting, but XMP II profile that I ran may not work from the box even with Apex z790 Encore or white Apex board.This new kit that is stable at 7800mhz is something I will not mess with in terms of voltage, I simply set it to 7800mhz XMP II and just reduced CL to 36. Fingers crossed I got no more shenanigans in terms of defects. I can't really speak on first kit that I had issues with. It would not stabilize at 8000mhz or 7800mhz using XMP II, so I should have returned it, but I took off heatspreader to add mine, and then took it off completely for testing. Basically voiding the warranty, because I saw it boot at 6933mhz on my Z690 Aorus Master (4 dimm board), I speculate it was a bad bin sticks, because by the time I got Apex Z790 it would not be stable at 7800mhz/8000mhzOh, well, that's how it goes sometimes.Supposedly G.Skill and Team Group gets dips on the first set of Hynix A-Die chips, and everyone else follows. They don't make them, but they get the best creme of the crop samples. Oddly enough G.Skill runs hotter than Team Group. Unless you have proper cooling, don't even buy 24gb x 2 (8200mhz) kit.A-Die is heat sensitive, and those dual rank sticks with 24 gbs on each stick run flaming hot.16x2 kits run single rank, for most part.Besides of winning the memory lottery, also remember...your Apex Z790 is not made the same. It can easily be worse than another Apex Z790Ah, yes...endless fun of variables, leave a review if these sticks run stable at 8000mhz on Z790 Apex Encore, and leave your settings in the review. I am very interested to see how it is for you. I am yet to go deeper into 8000mhz territory.Original review:A-Die is tricky, and it will take a lot of tinkering to get it stable, as A-Die is heat sensitive, very much so compared to M-Die. M-Die will not clock as high, but will not be unstable at 60C, and A-Die can be. Luck of the draw though. Mine goes up to 60C on 1 DIMM and 55C on 2nd DIMMM-Die G.Skill Trident Z5 theoretically can still clock up way higher than 6400mhz, but not as high as A-Die. My M-Die G.Skill can do 6700mhz stable at very good latency of CL32 and 41-41-28, or CL32 42-42-28, I ran both were stable. A-Die shines in upper frequencies. As M-Die would not boot at 7000 XMP at all.I noticed that system agent plays a huge role in getting sticks to boot on both M-Die and A-Die, I set mine at 1.30v on System Agent and they both work, but timing are very specific to each stick and not just A-Die, yes...theoretically you can do better timings on M-Die at lower frequencies, but they won't clock as high as A-Die.Be careful with VDD2/VDDQ as too much voltage can degrade the memory chips on the sticks and the memory controller of the CPU if System Agent is funky or too high or VDD2/VDDQ are too high, also VDD A0 and VDDQ A1 can fry your memory as well if set too high.Set it too high and find more errors in Test Mem 5.Memory overclocking is not easy, and I have spent 2 weeks memory testing overnight, and unless you have 2 DIMM memory board, it will be tricky.I just bought a 2 DIMM Z790 to try, and if I remember, I will report back.4 DIMM boards on Z690 platform can theoretically clock up to 7000 or so if you find the right setting, but at the loss of timings, as timings will need to be way higher. Z690 is limited, but so it Z790 that has 4 ram slots.Boards like Unify-X, Tachyon, and Apex is what you need for heavy overclocking ram, and you need airflow over the sticks. Run HWMonitor to see the temps and run Test Mem 5 with Extreme777.cfg profile (downloaded separately).It will take a long time to find out if your XMP is stable, and if not you must do it manual. No stick will run 8000 from the get go, and most boards will not run 7800.Higher ram frequency kits are easier to tune, because potential is there.I am running 6933mhz on Z690 Aorus Master right now with CL34-42-42-47, with this A-Die, probably can go lower than 47 on tRAS, but I have been running stress tests for week and a half. It takes a long time to test for 8+ hours each night.On M-Die I was running 6700mhz at faster timings, and was nearly matching 6933mhz in terms of latency, not the throughput of the A-Die though.If you buy this kit know you must have an excellent board and excellent CPU, and also know how to tune memory. It will take forever. Or be willing to set it at lower mhz and loose timings and don't complain. Because your 4 DIMM board will never do 8000mhz.Just being realistic.I am confident with these sticks I can hit 7400mhz easy on Z790 2 DIMM board, and will try to hit 7600mhz or 7800mhz, but again...it will take a week of testing.FYI: Just because your sticks are stable in Mem Test 5, doesn't mean your games are.Yesterday my R6 Siege quit completely exited with a huge delay as it did that. Reason: RAMSo from 7000mhz stable in Mem Test 5, it wasn't stable in game.Dialed it back to 6933mhz and it's perfect again.This will improve your 1% and 0.1% lows, and improve your frame pacing.If you don't know how to manage voltages properly, you will degrade your CPU or fry it. You can also fry motherboard or the ram itself.Be careful, this is not CPU overclocking.
