Pros: Easy installation. Had to do manual configuration (and pulled off T1 with zero effort), but it seems like I've had to configure every stick I've ever installed. Par for the course. Memtest86+ flawless. Goes without saying that they're fast and spacious for a reasonable price. I also like the lower voltage (or is 1.65 a relic setting now?).

Cons: Had to RMA the firt set because one stick was DOA. Shrug. Happens.

Overall Review: In my book it's not a con, just a quirk, but I had to boost FSB speed to get these to run at 1600, even though my board supports that speed. Not a big deal, but it's not something I usually mess with because the sort of work I do usually pushes CPU temps to extremes. Lowered multiplier and all is well. On my EVGA P55 LE (yeah, it's older) I had to disable XMP profiles to get the board to POST. Also, by some weird quirk the first time running Memtest86 both sticks failed abysmally. Restarted and tried again and all was well.

Pros: - Rubberized sides feel great and are a nice touch - The rgb effects are subtle - Scroll wheel has a nice action to it

Cons: - Out of the box there were problems with the side buttons (likely the same root cause). The forward button (B5) was non-functional, and when browsing the back button (B4) jumped back two pages - Optics died after a day

Overall Review: For over a decade I have used Logitech mice, and never had any issues. I can understand a single issue, but two major problems with the internals is enough to put me off Razer for good.

Pros: - Very spacious - Good cable management options - Highly customizable

Cons: - Designed by people who don't know cats exist

Overall Review: If you place this somewhere cats could jump on top, they will eventually hit the power button. I attached a light-switch guard with adhesive pads to prevent this. You could also disable the power button in your OS, but I like mine to function. Not worth deducting an egg, but I really wish case manufacturers would put all buttons on the front face. Overall this case has been great for me. I wanted to save space by putting my work-from-home and gaming systems in the same box, and this does the job.

Pros: Great overclocker Fairly low stock TDP Benchmarks vs. AMD CPUs in the same price range generally put this chip well ahead in gaming tests Have it running stable at 200x20 1.4vcore/1.2VTT, for a 50% increase over stock clocks.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Stock hsf was not nearly as bad as I was expecting, given other reviews. The after-market cooler I had ordered came with a broken fan so I used the stock cooler for about a week. Took it to 3.2GHz (at 1.15v) so I wouldn't have to underclock my 1600MHz RAM. At this speed/voltage the stock cooler idled at around 36C and prime95 capped it at 71C, below the 72.7C maximum listed in the specs for this chip. For reference, though, a new Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2 dropped idle temps 8 degrees and load temps 20 degrees at these specs.

Pros: Good timings for the price Zero memtest errors out of the box Have it running at 1600 7-8-7-24-1T with no problems

Cons: None

Overall Review: Matched with an EVGA P55 LE and i5 750, these sticks were the limiting factor in overclocking. I'm an experienced overclocker and had trouble pushing them into the 180x10 range with loosened timings and reasonable voltages. It's no big deal and I just ended up going with 200x8 7-8-7-24-1T. Others have reported easily pushing this RAM to the 1800MHz range and beyond, but I never make a purchase expecting to be able to match anyone else's OC.

Pros: Very responsive, extremely comfortable design, perfect button placement. Scroll wheel is neither too resistant nor too smooth. I can't imagine a better mouse provided you only want to use 5-6 buttons.

Cons: None at all.

Overall Review: I first purchased this mouse five years ago and it has seen very heavy use. Recently it started giving me some trouble. The action in the right mouse button is almost gone so it feels a bit unresponsive in games that demand a lot of right clicking. The scroll wheel has also intermittently stopped working. I went to a few local stores to try out some newer models, trying to keep an open mind. But in the end nothing felt as perfect as this mouse. It probably won't last you forever, but I'd consider it to be pretty durable. I really did put it through a lot of use and some abuse.
