Oh well

ASUS P5E LGA 775 Intel X38 ATX Intel Motherboard
ASUS P5E LGA 775 Intel X38 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: It has a really great layout. Excellent packaging and customer service. It is really easy to use and BIOS is amazing.

Cons: If you are reading this and think of getting Patriot Memory, don't. I thought it would work because I have never and a problem with any brand of RAM and thought it would work. This mobo has a weak memory controller; try to stick Crucial, Corsair, or Kingston.

Overall Review: I wish people could write useful reviews. ASUS's QVL is outdated and is really useless. If I knew that the memory I initially purchased would not have worked I would have bought another brand. Hope this helps

Great

Saitek Eclipse II Illuminated Keyboard

Pros: Great keyboard, comfortable and has three light settings.

Cons: The only real thing I can pick on is how weak the lights are and how there are no macro keys.

Amazing

Pros: Absolutely flawless tracking and the blue paintjob matches my keyboard and case lights. Adjustable weights are a welcome addition to any great mouse, and Logitech really made this G5 great compare to the previous gen ones. If you are looking at this buy it.

Cons: Absolutely none.

Overall Review: Great service from Newegg and by the way didn't I say buy it already.

Excellent Quality

CORSAIR XMS2 DHX 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TWIN2X4096-6400C4DHX

Pros: Easy to install. Has an excellent design for the heatspreaders. Easy on the eyes and boots up at rated timings from the get go.

Cons: Absolutely none.

Awesome

Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450 - Core 2 Quad Yorkfield Quad-Core 2.66 GHz LGA 775 95W Processor - BX80569Q9450
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450 - Core 2 Quad Yorkfield Quad-Core 2.66 GHz LGA 775 95W Processor - BX80569Q9450

Pros: 12 MB of L2 Cache, 2.66 GHz, very cool, and very fast. Overclocks like a charm. Haven't pushed it too much but I'm running it on my ASUS P5E at 3.2 GHz with 1600 FSB using a Zerotherm Nirvana. Temps have not gone over 35 C. I'm getting ~16,000 3dMarks with this and my 9800 GTX.

Cons: Like the E8400's there is something wrong with temp sensors on the cores. Expect to get at least one stuck sensor. However, don't worry about the temps especially if you are overclocking. You will definitely hit your FSB wall before the proc goes over 50 C. Its not worth to RMA if that occurs because most 45nm cpu's have the same problem. In addition, you can accurately tell temps by other means like through your motherboards hardware monitor and other software even though one or more sensors are stuck.

Overall Review: I bought my Q9450 from a local computer store because it was not in stock on Newegg. The 45nm proc's are amazing.

Absolutely Amazing

ZEROtherm Nirvana NV120 PWM 120mm Long Life Bearing CPU Cooler

Pros: Keeps my Q9450 idling at under 35 C. The heatpipes do not even get hot. It has a great gunmetal finish and the blue LED fan is awesome.

Cons: The installation is a bit annoying. Make sure you have a long Phillips screwdriver to install it.

Overall Review: Don't think twice about buying this. It's looks and works a lot better than most of the competitors.
