Works with Z97 chipset

G.SKILL TridentX Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 2400 (PC3 19200) Desktop Memory Model F3-2400C10D-16GTX

Pros: Very easy to OC with new ASUS Z97 MOB. This PC is used for transcoding video and has been extremely stable.

Cons: None

Great mother board

Pros: Very easy to use for OC. I have the i7-4770K paired with this board and after a few minutes it is up to 4.3GHz. I am using this MOB for transcoding video (which uses the full system resources). I have tested this setup transcoding videos for 6+hrs straight and not one issue thus far. So far very pleased.

Cons: None

Cool n Quiet

Pros: Cooled down my CPU by almost 10C under load. I have a 6-core AMD running at 3.8GHz which gets very warm even at idle. This heatsink definitely is better than stock.

Cons: Didn't quite fit over my memory sticks, I have all 4 slots being used. However, the fan can slide up and down to mount in different positions on the heat sink. So my fan is moved up about 3mm on the heat sink to allow it to fit.

Very quite & great airflow

Pros: This fan is extremely quiet and it puts out more airflow than any other fan that I have currently installed. Which means you can run the fan at a lower rpm than other fans and still achieve the same cooling effect. Lower rpm = less noise. I am upgrading all my fans to this model.

Cons: None
