Pros: Been running this adapter for a month under high network situations. I host servers, and file transfers for image boards. And have had little, to no issues with it. The only issue I have is listed in the cons. The dual antennas are by far one of the better features for modern adapters. In a market where most producers use weak internal antennas, the RNX-N250 really does well including the dual antennas for extra range. I live a floor up, and all the way across my home, from my router. (The only cable in (for personal lack of a better term) jack is downstairs. Talk about poor home design). So having a large range is a complete must. Not to mention the speed is simply fantastic. Using my older wireless adapter (AE-3000), I had much shorter range, which means poorer signal, ergo poor speed. Not to mention the AE-3000 would get far too hot doing hardly anything, where as the RNX can handle 3 to 1 MB up and down with hardly any heat. For just a little under a month of heavy usage, and no catastrophic issues, I give it 4 eggs. I would give it 5, but it's still a bit early so far.

Cons: My only issue so far is that the network will drop with this card under the report of, "The Default Gateway cannot be found." I'm trying a fix to see if it changes anything permanently, but usually it just requires a quick Disable/Enable. Hopefully this doesn't turn into a major issue in a short time.

Pros: 6 heat-pipes Quiet fan (Seriously, even on full I can't hear it) Efficient cooling Simple mounting (Intel CPU)

Cons: Seems like it'd be a hassle to swap out the fan if it broke.

Overall Review: Currently running it on an Intel i5 Ivy Bridge at 3.1 GHz, and it keeps it below 45C under full load. Idles at around 32C. I haven't OC'd my CPU yet, so I can't claim how well it does then. More often than not, almost no heat even reaches the mid section of the cooler. (I honestly only bought it just because...you know...Newegg...but I couldn't be more pleased at the moment!)

Pros: LOW idle, and load temps (Could be because of my heatsink, however) Handles multitasking very smoothly Low wattage demands Quad-core! No onboard graphics

Cons: No onboard graphics

Overall Review: The lack of onboard graphics on this processor is both a blessing and a curse. If you have a video card laying around, you're set. But, if not, you'll have to get one. While it is a slight burden, the pro outweighs the con. This means better processing power, lower temps, and more attention to what your running! I wound up getting a new heatsink for my setup, (first build...Newegg...computer parts everywhere...you can't blame me), so I'm not sure how well the stock cooler did its job. But I'm assuming since I never heard it, it was doing a decent job.

Pros: VERY speedy boot times, going far below 15 seconds for booting. (Not including BIOS wait screen) Nice read times as well

Cons: None to mention, yet

Overall Review: Obviously, if you're going to by an SSD such as this one, you'll want to have at least another drive for actual data storage. Requires a bit of tweaking to insure unnecessary data doesn't land on it, but that's no issue. Just have another drive handy if you buy this. I'll update this around a year or so

Pros: Plays well with high RAM demanding applications High bandwidth, until a point Sleek and quite slim

Cons: None thus far.

Overall Review: Currently running my system with two of these sticks. (One came free with my MoBo, so I bought another to bump it to 8gigs) No read errors, no choking, works well with Intel i5. Haven't OC'd my system, don't really plan to yet, so these work well. If something falters within a year, I'll update this.

Pros: Sleek color/design PCI slots from PCIe 3, to PCI Numerous USB 3.0 rear panels Runs very well, strong OC support Front panel pin guide printed on mobo (VERY handy) 4 SATA connectors

Cons: Possibly ruins an OS upon upgrade from an older MoBo (See Other Thoughts)

Overall Review: The reason I listed what I did as a con, was because both my drives that I brought in from an older MoBo refused to boot. While one was a new SSD, that had hardly any data on it, the other is not. However, I'm not trying to use the other one to boot. It's just something to keep an eye out for. Upon trying to boot with either of the drives, the system hangs at launching classpnp.sys, and reboots. I'm not sure if that's to be expected, but it was a large surprise to me. I'll come back, and update my review if anything falters within the year.
