Great Memory - Really Works !

G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model F3-17000CL9Q-16GBZH
G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model F3-17000CL9Q-16GBZH

Pros: Good looking case. Nice colors. The feel of the individual strips strong. It was made for the X79 chipset but, works well with the Socket 1155 series motherboard with latest bios updates.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: I used these memory strips in all four memory slots. The Ripjaw Z memory straightened out my bios problem. I was having troubles with my Asrock Extreme 3 Gen3 motherboard. It would not start from a cold start without pressing the reset switch several times. It was acting squirely all the time. After using this memory, all my problems disappeared over night. My motherboard runs really great now.

Bad memory strip onboard

Pros: I had it a couple of days but, from what I could see of it, the bios graphics are nice.

Cons: Abcourse, it had a bad memory strip at the B1 spot in the memory block. I did not have time to give it a real test.

Overall Review: I will review it again once, NewEgg returns my replacement board. I ask for an Exchange. I am more than willing to give it another try. I will re-evaluate this board again once I have it up and running. Do not, I repeat blaime NewEgg for, this could happen to anyone or any manufacture whom makes motherboards. Asus is a trusted company among PC board manufactures.

Intel Core i7-4820K - Core i7 4th Gen Ivy Bridge-E Quad-Core 3.7GHz (Turbo 3.9GHz) LGA 2011 130W Desktop Processor - BX80633i74820K
Intel Core i7-4820K - Core i7 4th Gen Ivy Bridge-E Quad-Core 3.7GHz (Turbo 3.9GHz) LGA 2011 130W Desktop Processor - BX80633i74820K

Pros: It runs really fast and has the power to do what you want in computing. It will run any software you like to use. It will get the job done. It is the biggest processor that Intel makes at this time.

Cons: People from Intel and other techs fail to mention that you need more than an air cooled heat sink and fan to cool this beast down. It does not matter how big and powerful your air cooled unit is, it want get the job done. Why did those whom are suppose to know keep it from us the public ?

Overall Review: I solved the problem of this processor over heating. It was simply to buy a self contained water cooled unit. It keeps the temperature within normal limits. 30 degrees C at idle. While running it under full load it gets to 43 degrees, well within normal limits. Something techs do not tell you..

Disappointed customer

ADATA 2.5" 80GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) ASINTS-80GM-CSA
ADATA 2.5" 80GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) ASINTS-80GM-CSA

Pros: It is solid state and has no working parts as regular hard drives do. It advertises as working faster than any regular hard drive. It has been so for 3 weeks.

Cons: It started acting up after 3 weeks use. For the first three weeks it ran smoothly and very quick, like lightning. Then, without warning it started crashing my system after 5 minutes to one hour later. It turns on my system really fast but, after one hour of regular computer use it freezes up my system. Five minutes into any online game it freeze up and, I must reboot again to get my computer up and running again. After several reboots it gets really hecktic.6

Overall Review: I run Windows 7, 64 bit version on my computer. Two other hard drives, (regular drives) ATI HD 5770 CrossFireX, 12 GB 2000 MHZ memory strips, Intel CPU Core i7 950, Asus Rampage II Gene, Delta Force Xtreme 2

Great PC Game for Money

Delta Force: Xtreme 2 PC Game
Delta Force: Xtreme 2 PC Game

Pros: Realistic scenes, virtual reality world. Just like being there when you play it. Sounds of reall combat anywhere from knives swishing in the air to real sounds on exploding gernades. You can tun down the music as low as you like or as loud as you like it. You can practice missions on you own compluter and later go online and play with others just like yourself.

Cons: None so far that would make me trash this game.

Overall Review: Some people trash this game for not being good and service interruptions. They must have low or bad internet connection in the first place. Like every combat game, you must have a good internet connection, good video cards, processor, and motherboard. This game will play on practically every computer combination out there. Windows XP 32bit, all the way to Windows 7 64bit. You should really try it and make your judgement on it after that. Some people get use to other combat games and cannot switch to this games so they trash this game as being bad and it really is not.
