Patriot Viper Xtreme 12GB (3 x 4GB) DDR3 2000 (PC3 16000) Desktop Memory Model PX7312G2000ELK

Pros: was easily able to obtain 9-10-9-27 at 1.65v in my ASUS Sabertooth X58 mobo, sustaining 2205MHz and running nice and cool. low heatsinks fit right under CPU cooler and look nice in board.

Cons: NONE.

Overall Review: look pretty under red and white light.

Most Critical Review

ok board

ASRock P67 EXTREME4 GEN3 LGA 1155 Intel P67 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
ASRock P67 EXTREME4 GEN3 LGA 1155 Intel P67 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: super fast, lots of room for cards.

Cons: the cpu slot is terribly close to ram for larger sinks. the pcix16 slot on the bottom doesn't line up with my case, df85. sats ports windup under video card. The south bridge regularly runs at 65+*C even when at idel with a 9 fan case and a 29*C ambient temp

Overall Review: its a ok board but that south bridge gets really hot and freezes up stuff.

Kudos for customer service

NEW NZXT H440 STEEL Mid Tower Case. Next Generation 5.25-less Design. Include 4 x 2nd Gen FN V2 Fans, High-End WC Support, USB3.0, PWM Fan Hub, White/Black

Pros: Looks Great.... will fit my H115i well Looks nice with my x99 Taichi in it H115i bolted right in withe the top 3.5" bay removed

Cons: NZXT asked me to contact them to replace the side panel that was shipped chipped, they shipped me a new panel free of charge and now my setup is beautiful... terrific service.

Overall Review: original review Pros: Lots of hard drive bays, sound absorbing foam well placed, pwm controller, nice led setup Cons: Arrived well packed with a big chip on the top edge of the see through side panel for everyone to see :( but NZXT was fast at sending me a new side panel so I didn't have to mail the whole thing. Other Thoughts: equipping with a AsRock Taichi, Intel 6850, Corsair H115i, EGVA T2 1000w and it fits together great

Great temps, easy installation, great service

Corsair Hydro Series H115i Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler, 280mm CW-9060027-WW

Pros: +temps are very low, 28*c idle 6850K @4.4 +easy to install in my H440 +customer service is quick to respond, sent me a replacement fan due to a vibration issue +cables are not overly stiff

Cons: -No Sticker in box to show off CORSAIR gear -Pump is the only thing making noise in my case since the fans are so quiet at idle, tick,tick,tick,tick

Overall Review: The Corsair software was easy to use for me, I know other's complain about how bad it is, but under windows 10 with my Asrock Taichi X99 I have had 0 issues with it.

Great cooling for cheap

Cons: -not free and no STICKER

Overall Review: This is one of the better application experiences and performing TIMs available and Everyone I know swears by it.

Fast, Much, Cheap

G.SKILL TridentZ Series 64GB (8 x 8GB) DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Memory (Desktop Memory) Model F4-3200C16Q2-64GTZB
G.SKILL TridentZ Series 64GB (8 x 8GB) DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Memory (Desktop Memory) Model F4-3200C16Q2-64GTZB

Pros: +detected perfectly on my X99 Taichi . +heavy sinks are cool to the touch even when gaming. +the basic gunmetal and black spreaders are nice to look at. +easily run at 3600 speeds, although I only increase for benching. +came with a case badge sticker

Cons: -no options for replacement color bars.

Overall Review: I bought the red kit because the other colors were over 100$ more, and being the first time I have used Geil memory I figured they would have some ordering options for different color bars. I was surprised to discover they didn't and I took the red bars off (easily) and now have gun metal/black spreaders, which look nice by themselves. Seems odd that a product to fit these isn't already available
