Pros: Inexpensive. Small. Works.

Cons: Bright blue light.

Overall Review: Covered blue light with some blue electrical tape to dim it to an acceptable level. Subtracted one egg for having to do this. I use these little guys any time I want to add BT to a desktop.

Pros: Powerful and energy efficient. Great value ... Price/Performance ratio is stellar. Gives you what you need without what you don't.

Cons: There are not a lot of cooler options out there for the LGA1156 socket yet. Doesn't clean my house for me...

Overall Review: I am a photographer, not a gamer ... So I am not the one to ask if you're looking for a gamer's point of view. Check the reviews out there... Unless you are a seriously hardcore gamer, the 8xx series is the way to go... You are not likely to notice the difference between the dual channel (8xx) and triple channel (9xx) memory. Unless you are running at least two very powerful video cards, a well thought out P55 (i7 8xx) system usually matches or beats an X58 (i7 9xx) system performance wise. For those of you complaining about the lack of triple channel support on MB's, the dual channel memory controller is built into this CPU, so it's just not gonna happen. The i7 9xx (x58) supports triple channel because those CPUs have a triple channel controller.
