Pros: Works fine on an Asus P67 board running 16 Gig total Works at the default speed Works at the overclock (for a P67) 1600 speed Passes all the Prime95 and mem tests run for many hours Massive memory speed numbers on a P67

Cons: did not make me breakfast I keep getting older

Overall Review: Crazy that a memory that does what it should is hard to find. Check out the P67 fourms. Lots of people have memory issues. If you have a P67 or H67 - get good memory that is known to work. The alternative is random lockups a couple times a day. If you are using single latch sockets (Asus MB and others) be sure you *push* the memory down. They are harder to use than the old double latch sockets. There's no easy visual feedback on the "no latch" side. It's very simple to not get the sticks seated.

Pros: Quiet Cool (as in low temp's) fits well, better than some competitors Way more massive than the 212P

Cons: Box needs some work, came in pretty well smashed up. Competitors boxes are *much* heavier material. The heatsink is *heavy* and the box is very thin. It took about 20 minutes to sort of fix all the bent stuff. Could have done an RMA, but not worth the shipping cost and hassle. Nothing else in the shipment (4 packing boxes full of stuff) had any damage at all. Instructions could use some work. Tech support is un-responsive to email requests

Overall Review: Put the rubber things on the fan first (as in step zero) not right at the end. Take a look at how (and where) they go on the heatsink with it off the motherboard. Don't mount the fan to the sink early - it will block the mount later on. If you plan to put two fans on it, take a close look at where your RAM is. Not a con on this unit, they all have the same issue with dual fans. This one uses skinny fans, but the heatsink it's self is fairly wide. If you have never done this before - this sort of heatsink normally goes on the motherboard before the motherboard goes in the case. Fan looks like it pulls 0.35A. I could not find that in any of the spec’s.

Pros: Nice if you own the camera

Cons: Needs the Olympus app on the other end

Overall Review: If you check the final picture you can see the "not for individual sale" warning on the bag. That should be a clue that this is something odd. It's a card that goes in an Olympus camera to let it WiFi dump pictures.

Pros: Great CPU Overclocks well Cheap Hits 4.8 to 4.9 GHz with rational voltages and cooling Hits 4.4 to 4.5 GHz with stock voltage (< 1.3V) on my MB Power / heat really drops back when you stop doing stuff. >10:1 change between Prime95 and nothing going on.

Cons: Does not cook bacon Won't clock quite as fast as an i5 Sandy Bridge Roughly 2 to 3 % slower on most benchmarks than "fastest thing on the planet" (not a bad con ...)

Overall Review: If you are going to overclock, just throw away the Intel fan. It's for non-overclock use. Get a nice big air cooler for $20 to $60. There are LOTS of them to pick between. Keep the core voltage below 1.4V and it should run a long time. If you have temps above 70C check your case fans, they should keep the inside of the case at room temp. If they aren't - add some more. Be carefull with "stock voltage". Not all motherboards agree on what that should be.

Pros: High end board with lots of PCIe lanes As good as it gets on voltage regulators Lots of features Asus software is *very* good compared to what othes supply BIOS updates quicker than the competition.

Cons: Not every feature is usefull for every user

Overall Review: See - some people who aren't verified owners like the board. You pay a lot for this board and you get a lot. Be sure you need what you get. If you need what this board has, it's *way* ahead of the few boards out there people suggest as competition. Still a mid range CPU. If you want high end, spend 3 to 4X more. With some luck, you will (barely) do better than what this board can do.

Pros: Solid build quality Good set of features (2 LAN's) Support software WORKS! BIOS is reasonable Solid (as in weeks of testing) at 4.7 GHz on air with an i7. Solid (as in days) at 4.8 GHz on air with a i5 Diagnostic LED's and switches come in handy Fits all of the big air coolers with normal height RAM heatsinks. Dual SLI with 580's works like a charm

Cons: Original board (bought from Newegg) ran fine Rev 3 replacement (shipped from Asus) blew a CPU voltage regulator in 48 hours, took CPU with it. (was overclocked @ >4.9 GHz, so not a massive negative)

Overall Review: One of several P67's I've built. The ASUS utilities are way ahead of some of the others. Their BIOS updates come out quicker and work better as well. Pushing every single option to "max" all at the same time - probably not a good idea. Letting the built in overclock on some of the BIOS's take the CPU voltage above 1.5 Volts - very much a bad idea. You can hit 4.8 to 4.9 GHz with the cpu below 1.4 volts. Dealing with Asus on the blown board was about what I expecetd - painfull, but I got my board. Replacement board has run fine. The CPU and board are "mid range". The performance is high end. A board and CPU costing 4X more will (barely) beat it. If you spend more money, you can get more "power phases". If you plan to overclock well above 5 GHz they might come in handy. Auto overclock does not understand the need to drop the voltage on the PLL for a higher overclock. It puts to much on the CPU as a result. Very easy to take care of manualy.
