Mine says it's 32Gb on the outside like the product picture but it's actually the 64GB one lol. More bang for the buck in my case. I wonder how often this happens.

Paired this with a RTX 3060 for my friend as a bday gift. She can get more frames in games with this than the Ryzen 5 5600X while only at 2/3 of the price. Note: Comparison was done at stock settings since you can't overclock non-K processor to make it fair. Plus my friend isn't that tech savy so she doesn't know what overclocking is anyways. She only needs to know that it runs the programs/games she want well.

Died after 10 months. It was good while it lasted. RGB still lights up but won't post, PC just keeps restarting at boot. Got plain vengeance ram as replacements and PC is running again like normal. Probably just a bad batch.

One of the best budget motherboards. Was used to built the PC for my niece. Supports 9th gen Intel CPUs and NVMe M2 SSD. I paired it with a i5-9400f, an EVGA RTX 3060, 16GB DDR4-2666, and Samsung 970 Evo Plus. Only downside for this motherboard is that it only supports up to DDR4-2666 and not much overclocking compatibility but it’s good enough for a Budget gaming PC. Overall, it has been excellent. I also have this in my current PC with a i9-9900K FOR over 2 years now with no issues and recently upgraded my GPU to a MSI RTX 3070. I never planned to overclock anyways so it saved me a bit of money.

All the girls love RGB on their PCs. My friend wanted a Gaming PC so I decided to hook her up with one while asking for her preferences. She wanted a lot of RGB so this was perfect. She also wanted AMD so right now she can’t even use the PC because we can’t get a GPU. At least she can turn it on to look at the RGB lol

So I built a new PC for my niece as a bday gift since I was lucky enough to get a 3060 from EVGA. For the accessories I went with Steel Series for the keyboard, mouse, and headset since they were all black and matched with the black PC case and RGB. My niece really likes the keyboard after having it for over a month. She really likes the volume scroll in the top right corner of the keyboard. The keyboard is very responsive, very quiet compared to a mechanical keyboard, and my niece mostly use it to play Valorant with her friends.

Samsung make the best SSDs in the market. None of their SSDs have ever failed me yet. My Evo 850 from 6+ years ago still work great but this 970 Plus is a huge step up in terms of performance. Built a new PC and using this 970 Plus as the boot drive while my old SSDs(850s/860s) are used as extra storage and to carry all my old files into the new PC.

This is one of the best SSD for the value in my opinion. It’s faster than the Samsung Evo 970 Plus while also being cheaper. Every SSD I bought so far has been Samsung and they have never failed on me yet. Got this as one of the parts to build a Pc for my friend as a bday gift.

The whole PC is useless right now because I can’t buy a graphic card. BestBuy should limit each graphic card purchase to 1-2 per household/account or give those with PC component purchases priority for GPUs. So the same address/person can’t repeatedly buy the same GPUs over and over again and those trying to build a PC can do so. Most people building their PC only need one GPU anyways. Probably can’t use the PC for a whole year unless I’m lucky and beat the bots. So can’t give more stars if I can’t even use the PC right now. If I’m unlucky, the CPU may be DOA and the warranty might expire before I can even test it to find out with a GPU. Hopefully this catches BestBuy’s attention. >:(

This was a gift for a friend. They said it works very well and much better than the earbud mics they previously used. I agree with them since it's much easier to hear them talk on discord now. Plus they love pink.

I am looking for a portable USB Flash Drive for iPhone 7

Just buy a USB to lightning dongle and you can plug in any USB-A storage device into your iPhone then use the preinstalled "Files" app to transfer files between your iPhone and external storage. Not sure if BestBuy carries the dongle or not though.

Is there a driver for the samsung 980? I see a driver for the 980 pro but not a driver for the"980". I am using the Microsoft drivers at this time but Migician only supports the Bencmark function. Other functions saying not suppprted!

All SSDs do not require any drivers to run. Samsung Magician issued to optimize your storage and check your storage health. SSDs are for storage, drivers are needed only for every other hardware on your computer. Also, careful what you Google. You could be downloading malware posting as a driver. Also there is no official driver for the 980 Pro. The Samsung NVMe driver used for the 980 Pro is from the 970 Pro using a workaround. Find the guide on Reddit. There isn’t much difference in performance between drivers for the normal 980 anyways. In some tests the Microsoft driver preforms better or slightly worst.

Does the board require a firmware (BIOS) update to use this processor?

What processor are you talking about? The Motherboard only supports Intel 8th/9th gen processors which use LGA 1151 socket. You can usually tell the processor gen using the first digit after the processor model. Ex. I5-8400, the 8 means 8th gen, i7-9600 the 9 means 9th gen.
