Mushkin memory is excellent!
Pros: Run at rated speed flawlessly. Stick them in X79 motherboard, select XMP setting in UEFI and off you go. I have not tried overclocking these past their rated speed but I have tightened up the secondary timings on these and I have had no problems at all.
Cons: None
Nice fan all around
Pros: Quiet, the best thing about these fans. Also have good air flow and decent static air pressure. I have four of these in my case and they work quite well. Price on these fans is excellent for the way they perform.
Cons: None
Excellent cooling
Pros: This cooler comes with software that tells you the temp of the coolant circulating through this device. According to that software the coolant has never gone over 44 C. Even after running at 96-100% CPU utilization for over 5 hours.
Cons: The original cooler I bought went bad after about 11 months. Antec was quick to approve an RMA and down time was less than a week.
Overall Review: Although my original cooler went bad after 11 months it worked great up to that point. Given that Antec was so quick in sending me a replacement after I sent mine to them I decided to not take an egg away. The replacement cooler has been working for sometime now and works every bit as well as the original.
Excellent CPU
Pros: This processor is a beast! It is fast! Excellent for video editing and gaming. When I am not actively using my computer I turn on Folding@home and it just tears through the workloads.
Cons: None
Nice drive
Pros: Use this drive for storage purposes, pictures, videos, some games. It works as expected. I've used WD drives for years and never had an issue with any of them.
Cons: None
Excellent sound!
Pros: This card produces excellent sound for the money. I have Klipsch 5.1 ProMedia speakers connected and music and movies sound excellent. Also have Audio Technica ATH A700X headphones and with this sound card gaming is AWESOME!
Cons: None
