Pros: I bought these based on their performance, but the LED lighting is incredibly cool!
Cons: None.
Overall Review: These are not as fast as the sticks they replaced (Corsair XMS3 at 7-7-7-20 at 1600 MHz), but that was a 3 x 2 GB kit (6 GB total) and i have not been able find that kind of speed in *any* memory kit out there today at 1600 MHz. Since my goal was to add more DRAM, sticking with what i had was not going to work. (If anybody is speed obsesses and wants to buy those used, but working, sticks from me then drop me a line.) i actually bought 3 sticks as a 2 x 8 GB kis and this 1 x 8 GB kit because i have a CPU with 3 memory lanes. and because that was all the stock that was available. i actually went to another vendor (think: Jef Bezos) and bought another 3 x 8 GB of sticks (total 48 Gibyte). Newegg may still have stock with the blue/yellow LED which should also be very cool. i've got a marginally tricked out system with a side window, fans with LED lighting, and this DRAM. In terms of aesthetics is the perfect addiction to the show. the colors from the side are dominated by green from the DRAM with some blue from the fans (though red might work as well). the green LED pattern on the DRAM sticks is related to the access pattern which is, IMHO, incredibly cool.
