Thank you Mushkin

Mushkin Enhanced Blackline 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model 996599
Mushkin Enhanced Blackline 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model 996599

Pros: Dropped this into my GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3P, and it's screamin! NO adjustments to slots, voltages, nothing...Detected at 1066 the first time with no fuss. This is more than I can say for the Army of Corsair sticks I've owned.

Cons: None so far, I've owned it for 6 hours.

Overall Review: Was sick of Corsair, figured I'd give mushkin a shot...and I am Not dissapointed!

Most Critical Review

Pump stopped working after less than 24hrs

Corsair Hydro Series H100i V2 Extreme Performance Water / Liquid CPU Cooler. 240mm (CW-9060025-WW)
Corsair Hydro Series H100i V2 Extreme Performance Water / Liquid CPU Cooler. 240mm (CW-9060025-WW)

Pros: Looks and feels like a solid product Worked well in an mITX build and looked great doing it Kept a in i5 6600k nice and cool at 4.2ghz oc while it worked

Cons: Pump stopped working less than 24hrs after initial installation Cost (traditional fan solutions are safer, more reliable and less expensive) Without this cooler I have a $1700 paperweight for who knows how long

Overall Review: I've been a fan of Corsair for years and they've never let me down. I have this out for RMA and will update after installing the new one. I'm hoping I just got a dud. This is the first product I've ever had to RMA in over 10 years of ordering from Newegg, maybe it was just my time?

Serving me well

Transcend TS-RDP8W USB 2.0 All-in-One Multi Card Reader
Transcend TS-RDP8W USB 2.0 All-in-One Multi Card Reader

Pros: Small cheap (price) accepts lots of different cards bright LED status indicator

Cons: Usb cord is on the short side, but honestly do you need to be 12ft away from your pc while loading a media card?

Overall Review: A good investment. I was looking for a cheap reader that would cover all the bases. I have used it daily since I got it with 2 different SDHC cards, at different sizes, and with different file systems. Working like a champ.

Very Nice

ARCTIC Freezer 7 Pro - Compact Multi-Compatible Tower CPU Cooler | 92 mm PWM Fan | for AMD AM4 and Intel 115x CPU | Recommended up to 115 W TDP
ARCTIC Freezer 7 Pro - Compact Multi-Compatible Tower CPU Cooler | 92 mm PWM Fan | for AMD AM4 and Intel 115x CPU | Recommended up to 115 W TDP

Pros: Fantastic Alternative to the Stock Intel Cpu cooler. This thing just looks mean! Had no probs with installation, just take your time and do it right...afterall the thing is only cooling your CPU. WHISPER quiet!! I had to look into the box to make sure my pc was running! Have not stress tested, but had my Core 2 Quad at 26C while doing normal windows stuff.

Cons: I've only owned this for maybe 6 hours...so none yet.

Overall Review: I think it's worth the money! Everyone says that stock intel Cooler just don't cut it, so I did not even bother.

NICE!

GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3P LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard
GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3P LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Board is very sturdy, Lots of Sata, Price was great. Documentation was fantastic. This board is amazing for those who wish to OC. Started up right away with no probs.

Cons: None that I have encountered as of yet.

Overall Review: My first Gigabyte board. had probs with Asus and DFI, this board had some nice reviews, and now I know why. The Bios options are almost Overkill. The fact that I literally dropped a cpu and ram into this and had to do NOTHING to get it working is still sinking in.

Nice...

AMD Athlon 64 3500+ - Athlon 64 Venice Single-Core 2.2 GHz Socket 939 Processor - ADA3500BPBOX
AMD Athlon 64 3500+ - Athlon 64 Venice Single-Core 2.2 GHz Socket 939 Processor - ADA3500BPBOX

Pros: AMD Quality Screaming fast CPU Not a bad price for what you get

Cons: None for Newegg...(you guys rock) UPS....I've seen a lot of reviews with unsavory delivery conditions. I can assure you it's true. When this item arrived the outside box was in tact (slightly worn) but the insert peice that holds everything together was DEMOLISHED!

Overall Review: If you can afford it...go with Fed-ex for shipping, Ups likes to throw your stuff around....which would be fine if it were a stuffed animal, and not a multi-hundred dollar Fragile CPU
