Impressive Card

Pros: This card is cool, thin and quiet, just perfect.
Cons: Price, you always want it lower.
Overall Review: I thought about doing SLI but at 1920X1200 I don't really play games that require more then one card.
Horrible through put speeds

Pros: The drive is in a nice small case and looks cool
Cons: Everything else. The speeds are no where near rated. I get 66MB/sec on an Asus P6T Deluxe V2 with 1003 bios. I tried different SATA cables and connecting it to different slots and a different motherboard of the same type. I also read that other people are having issues with the speeds on their systems not being up to what they are rated for at read 285MB/sec and write of 275MB/sec.
Overall Review: I think this drive is still in the development stage and needs more work from others thoughts/reviews I see.
Where has this been all my life

Pros: Dropped my temps by 20C compared to my Thermalright cooler. Quiet, easy to install (see cons) and lighter than the True Copper heat sink I have on my other computer.
Cons: The instructions for this installation are a 3/10 imho. They don't even tell you about getting the fan clips connected to the system. The pictures for it are impossible to make out. I had to go to Youtube and watch the video there to see how it was done correctly.
Overall Review: If they brought the instructions up to the level of the heatsink/fans this product would be unbeatable. The unit is very large but you get a great result.
Bad Sound and Snowballing issues

Pros: Great speeds with the 2 SSD's in a raid and all 3 video cards work in SLI if I wanted.
Cons: Sound doesn't work other than producing static. Sent the board back to Newegg to get replaced and the board was damaged in shipment. Newegg's only response was to send the board back to me and say deal with Asus. The shipping company won't insure the motherboard even though I sent it back to Newegg insured. Asus hasn't responded to my RMA request in over a week.
Overall Review: Why do we waste over $400 for a motherboard only to get service like this on a defective product?
Poor memory speeds

Pros: 24G ram
Cons: The ram will NOT work at the 1600MHz that it is advertised for in a Rampage III Extreme motherboard. The absolute max I can get out of the memory is 1595 at the rated timings and voltages. You can't get anything more out of it by bumping voltages or relaxing timings.
Overall Review: if it wasn't so close to 1600MHz I would return the ram and buy something else.
