Fantastic

CORSAIR Vengeance Pro 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 Desktop Memory Model CMY8GX3M2A1866C9 (Silver)
CORSAIR Vengeance Pro 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 Desktop Memory Model CMY8GX3M2A1866C9 (Silver)

Pros: Looks great Runs flawlessly, even after stress tests Getting the sticks to 1866 on a Maximus Hero was hilariously easy Corsair quality/customer service

Cons: The heat sinks feel kinda flimsy. When you pick up the RAM you can feel that metallic parts "wobble". I think it's probably solid, but it's something worth noting.

Overall Review: This RAM is great. Works without issue, just as RAM should.

Perfection

Arctic Silver 5 High-Density Polysynthetic Silver Thermal Compound AS5-3.5G
Arctic Silver 5 High-Density Polysynthetic Silver Thermal Compound AS5-3.5G

Pros: The best paste you can buy

Cons: None really - just make sure you apply on a piece of paper to start, as it comes out pretty watery on first push

Overall Review: This stuff is awesome

Great on Haswell

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler, 4 CDC Heatpipes, 120mm PWM Fan, Aluminum Fins for AMD Ryzen/Intel LGA1200/1151
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler, 4 CDC Heatpipes, 120mm PWM Fan, Aluminum Fins for AMD Ryzen/Intel LGA1200/1151

Pros: Not too large Very fair price Great construction

Cons: Install can be slightly tricky

Overall Review: I'm running my Hyper 212 Evo in Push/Pull. My Haswell idles around 29C, and only tops 67C in AIDA64 @ 1.25V (haven't gotten around to adjusting auto voltage). The second fan (CM Blade Master, $9) dropped temperatures by about 3-4 degrees.

Pretty Good

Corsair Air Series AF120 Performance Edition CO-9050003-WW High Airflow Case Fan
Corsair Air Series AF120 Performance Edition CO-9050003-WW High Airflow Case Fan

Pros: Interchangeable rings are neat High build quality Moves a LOT of air Corsair reliability

Cons: Just a touch too noisy when cranked up (hence why the Quiet Edition exists)

Overall Review: This is a great fan that moves a TON of air and looks awesome. But for some reason at around 60% voltage or so, the noise really starts to kick in. Don't get me wrong - this fan is still pretty quiet - but if you have to run this baby at 100% (and are after a quiet PC) I'd go for the Quiet Edition.

Works Like a Charm

Sentry Mix 2 Fan Controller
Sentry Mix 2 Fan Controller

Pros: 6 Fans! Pretty colors! Solid construction!

Cons: "White" color is actually a pale blue (sort-of expected)

Overall Review: This fan controller is great. The sliders have a very solid feel to them, and the entire unit looks awesome in my case with the different colors. 10/10.
