Excellent Cooler!

XIGMATEK Aegir SD128264 Mega Killer Double HDT 120mm Long Life Bearing CPU Cooler Dual Fan LGA 2011 I7 i5 775 1155 1156 1150 Haswell and AMD compatible
XIGMATEK Aegir SD128264 Mega Killer Double HDT 120mm Long Life Bearing CPU Cooler Dual Fan LGA 2011 I7 i5 775 1155 1156 1150 Haswell and AMD compatible

Pros: Idle Temps: 25C - 26C (Temps logged with Core Temp) Load Temps: Has never gone over 49C (Prime95 Blend Test) No problems installing Not too loud Not so heavy that you'll need a jack stand under it. Did I say excellent cooler!

Cons: Xigmatek's packing box could be stronger, came with a few bent fins. Nothing I couldn't easily fix.

Overall Review: Wish I had found this much sooner. Thanks FrostyTech :)

Most Critical Review

good fans but wrong specs

XIGMATEK eXTREME SILENT Series XSF-F1252 120mm Case Fan with FCB (Fluid Circulative Bearing), 4 in 1 package CFS-SXGJR-KU3
XIGMATEK eXTREME SILENT Series XSF-F1252 120mm Case Fan with FCB (Fluid Circulative Bearing), 4 in 1 package CFS-SXGJR-KU3

Pros: At the XIGMATEK site they are exactly what they claim them to be which is as follows: PRODUCT SPECS Product Name – XSF-F1252 4PCS Pack Product Number – CFS-SXGJR-KU3 Material – P.B.T. Black Dimension – 120(L)x120(W)x25(H) mm Voltage Rating – 12 V Start Voltage – 7V Speed – 1500±10% R.P.M. Bearing Type – F.C.B Fluid Circulative Bearing Air Flow – 45.2 CFM Air Pressure – 1.43mm-H2O Life Expectance – 25000 hrs Noise Level – 20.2 dBA Color – Black Connector – 3 pin I'm sure these fans are just fine if you are looking for 45 CFM case fans.

Cons: Here's the problem: Specs on the NewEgg product page • 1800 +/- 10% RPM • 75 CFM max. Which are specs for the following: Product Name XSF-F1252 Product Number CFS-SXGJR-KU2 Notice the different PRODUCT NUMBERS.

Overall Review: I was looking for a deal on some 70-80 CFM case fans and thought I found one. I can see how this mistake was easily made as the Product Names both use XSF-F1252.

Disappointing

Canon ACK-DC40 (2610B001) AC Adapter Kit
Canon ACK-DC40 (2610B001) AC Adapter Kit

Pros: Got it by UPS today which was on time.

Cons: All I got was the transformer box with the cable to the battery adapter. No power cord and no battery adapter.

Overall Review: I later learned that Newegg Marketplace strips all links from communications and Adorama Camera knew this. So after chasing my tail for too long, I finally got them my e-mail so we could communicate directly. By the time I got the return shipping label there was not enough time left in the 30 day return policy. For this reason I will never buy from a 3rd party at Newegg Marketplace again. It's a setup for failure!

worth the price

Intel EXPI9301CTBLK Network Adapter 10/100/1000Mbps PCI-Express 1 x RJ45

Pros: Best NIC's I've ever owned. Fast. Reliable.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Got 3 of these now for all my PC's. 2 PCI-Express, and 1 PCI for my oldest rig. Shut off the [Intel(R) PROSet Monitoring Service] don't need it checking for driver updates for me.
