Kick @ss!!!
Pros: Very Fast, for very cheap!! This thing really flies - don't believe the Intel Hype "$1000 CPUs are for suckers!" and benchmarks are just that - benchmarks... I built a whole new system based on the AMD "spider" platform around this processor... here are my specs: AMD Phenom X4 9850 Black Edition (2.5 OC'd stable to 2.8 on air cooling) Asus M3A32-MVP Deluxe WiFi edition Motherboard 4GB Corsair Dominator DDR2 1066 RAM Sapphire Radeon HD 3870's (x2) Crossfired WD 75GB 10,000 RPM Hard Drive (boot/system drive) WD 500GB x2 data drives Cooler Master 1000W PSU (6 12V Rails!!) Cooler Master Cosmos 1000 Full Tower Samsung 2253BW 22" LCD (2ms) Windows Vista Ultimate x64 Flies on Vista x64
Cons: none yet
Overall Review: With I could get this thing over clocked to 3Ghz!! still tweaking with the awesome asus mobo
Sucks - Hence the Newegg Deactivation
Pros: Fast - assuming it works. Which it probably won't
Cons: Everything. This drive dies. Just check the reviews - I thought I had it made but apparently itdidn't want to live longer than a month and a half. I'm severely disappointed as this was my first OCZ product. I may or may not give them another chance. Or maybe stick ot the Intel or Corsair drives. Now I'm stuck with a dead and expensive product that I cannot use. Sweet.
Does What it Does
Pros: Hasn't blown out after years. Have had it for around four years now. In a few power outages it has come through and shutdown my machine safely and securely. The software is average and basically all you would need...
Cons: None really, won't last for hours after an outage?
Overall Review: Would purchase again if I ever have a need!
Perfect RAM!
Pros: Stable as hell! No problems ever. Ordered 4x4GB for a total of 16GB and I can't max it out. Use the machine for gaming, coding, image editing, etc... The RAM is also very fast and VERY cheap! Can't beat it. This is by far the best set of RAM I've ever owned - will always go with G.Skill from now on!
Cons: Not one.
Overall Review: System Specs: AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Processor OC'd to 3.5Ghz (didn't have a need to go higher) ASUS M4A79 Deluxe G.Skill 16 GB RAM Samsung 830 256GB SSD HD System Drive (blazing!) Western Digital 1TB x2 in RAID0 Data Drive Ubuntu 12.04 & Win7 Ultimate Dual Boot Cooler Master Cosmos 1000 Full Tower Cooler Master 1000W PSU ATI Radeon Saphire 1GB 4890 GPU (time to upgrade) Cooler Master V8 CPU Cooler with an upgraded fan (more RPMs kicks major tail)
Nice PSU
Pros: Had for almost a full year now and not a single problem. My rig runs 24/7 and it never gets hot or anything funkyi. Powers 3 HDD's, one HD 4870, 1 OC'd PhenomII 940 @ 1.5v, and 8Gigs (4 x 2GB) sticks of RAM without a problem.
Cons: Wish it was modular!
Satisfactory......
Pros: Fast, really fast. Can burn a lot of diff types of media. And fast. Did I mention fast?
Cons: Feels cheap. Wasn't recognized by my burner software for some reason - but was recognized by another software package...
Overall Review: Feels cheap because it was cheap and that's why I bought it - just warning others so they aren't expecting a Rolls Royce and get a Honda. But it's a fast honda. ;)
