No sweat & no BSOD

ASUS P7P55D Deluxe LGA 1156 Intel P55 ATX Intel Motherboard
ASUS P7P55D Deluxe LGA 1156 Intel P55 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: This build went together easy as pie. I chose the Core I5 and G.Skill 2x2gb ram with my old 650 watt psu and 8800GT. The ram slots are slightly tight but I reckon that is a good thing. Just make sure you get the sticks seated properly.

Cons: I cut myself on the i/o shield thingy in the back dang.

Overall Review: This was an effortless build and my rig screams! I was on a budget and this satisfied my needs... Played BFBC2 with everything on high for like 2 hours and not a core went over 43 degrees C. I like it!

Fast, very fast

Intel Core i5-750 - Core i5 Lynnfield Quad-Core 2.66 GHz LGA 1156 95W Processor - BX80605I5750

Pros: It concerned me that the thermal paste was already applied to the stock heat sink but it seems to be running very cool in my Zero 2 case. Using the stock heat sink I'm at 37-43 degrees C on all 4 cores after two hours of BFBC2. I am very impressed.

Cons: The anchors seem a little flimsy.

solid

Pros: Rock solid and no conflicts with Asus P55 mobo. A little snug to seat but that may be a mobo issue. Not a bad thing I reckon just be sure they snap in well.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I plan on purchasing another set in the near future.
