MORE THAN I NEED

Crucial 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3L 1600 (PC3L 12800) Desktop Memory Model CT2K102464BD160B
Crucial 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3L 1600 (PC3L 12800) Desktop Memory Model CT2K102464BD160B

Pros: I received 4 X 8gb of DDR3L as ordered. Installed without a studder on my ASRock 990 Extreme9 board. I have yet to upgrade the CPU (AM3+) but I wanted the bragging rights to 32 gb of ram, ha. These allow a much smoother multi-tasking with no freeze or flutter. I'm sure games would be a problem but for light gaming and business, these are great. I have noticed the lower voltage and therefore lower temps in box. I have a Vetroo V5 to install when my upgraded CPU arrives. Very satisfied so far.

Cons: No cons, this MB is 5 years old so speeds are what they are, no fault of this memory.

Overall Review: No hiccups, simply turned the machine off, installed 4 sticks, cleared BIOS, and turned back on. I have noticed cooler operating temps which I feel will be an improvement.

Big fans

Pros: They seem to move plenty of air, not too noisy.

Cons: A challenge to install, these fans are big so not as many installation options as 120mm. I knew their size before I ordered them.

Overall Review: Nice fans

GREAT LAVA JUICE BUT NOTHINGS PERFECT

Arctic Silver 5 High-Density Polysynthetic Silver Thermal Compound AS5-3.5G

Pros: Reason for 4 eggs? Can't justify a honest opinion since this is my first use. Time will tell.

Cons: Stains my teeth and taste bad

Overall Review: I'll find out in a year since this is about the most time I can expect a thermal paste to stay effective.
