Pros: Fast and has a large capacity for a good price
Cons: It seems quite a bit noisier than my previous hard drive. If that sort of things bothers you, I'd suggest getting a noise-dampening case like I did. It'll save your sanity.
Pros: It's pretty quiet and keeps the CPU nice and cool.
Cons: Maybe it's just me but the installation instructions were quite confusing. I ended up needing to watch a YouTube video of a guy walking through the installation before it made sense. That's the only issue I had with it though.
Pros: Fast and great for both multitasking and gaming. I can run multiple games, browsers, Photoshop, and other programs all at once without the performance of each being noticeably impacted. It's also a great price.
Cons: None
Overall Review: I didn't go with the stock heatsink on the advice of a friend and I also have 3 case fans and plenty of ventilation so the CPU runs pretty cool. It's at about 30C right now and the highest I've seen it go so far is about 50C. I'd definitely recommend spending the extra $30-40 for a third-party heatsink, it's worth it.
Pros: Run Skyrim on Ultra graphics. Tomb Raider runs best on High graphics but I suspect other parts of my PC are the problem with that. The fan is super quiet most of the time. I haven't had a single problem with it.
Cons: None
Exactly what we needed
Pros: Bought this to upgrade my parents' computer instead of them spending money on a new PC. The sticks were easy to install and have been working great from the very beginning. The price was good too.
Cons: None
