Pros: This drive is smokin' fast! It cut my start up time in half from my old WD Raptor (now 37 seconds from the time I push the power button until my desktop is fully loaded and ready to go, antivirus, everything). As recommended, I went to Intel's website and downloaded the flash utility, very quick and easy. If you are serious about upgrading your computer's performance I would highly recommend this drive. No moving parts and therefore absolutely silent.

Cons: Price, cost/GB. Out of the box, I had some stuttering, but after flashing the drive that went away. The drive froze during my first attempt to install Windows 7. Second time, no problems. After loading Win 7, it was 14% fragmented, cleaned that up and it has been 0% fragmented since.

Overall Review: Pricey, but well worth it. The SSD toolbox utility is a great way to keep an eye on your drive's health and performance (download from Intel). No need for a USB flash drive, Win 7 says the drive is fast enough that it doesn't need readyboost (I'm getting 7.5 on the system performance rating). To get the most out of this drive, make sure your motehrboard supports SATA II. The drive came with an adapter plate for 3.5" driver bays, but it didn't come with an SATA II cable. Fast shipping, thanks Newegg, that's why I am a repeat customer. :) Rig: MSI NF980-G65 mobo AMD Phenom II x 4 965 processor 8 G Patriot Viper DDR3 memory 2x Gigabyte GTX 260 SOC GPUs

Pros: Love it! This board was the one I'd been looking for, DDR3 and SLIx3. Board is layed out pretty well. Plenty of room for memory cards (using Patriot Viper series). Plenty of room for the CPU heatsink in there too (I have the SpinQ). Components stay cool with the passive system, I finally got the north bridge to 48 C benchmarking.

Cons: Manual is kind of vague, I'm an ASUS guy and I'm used to a lot of info. Not much info on the memory overclocking feature. I'm an aircooled guy and this board only has three system fans and of course the CPU fan. I had very limited success with the overclock switches, anything over 10% and I got the BSOD. Memory timings are very picky too, took a lot to set them up and I never achieved maximum capacity of my memory sticks (got to 1600) but I'm happy with the performance.

Overall Review: With the overclocking I have achieved to date, Windows loads very fast and I am overall pleased with my purchase. If you're and AMD/ Nvidia kind of person looking for a quadcore with DDR3, I'd reccommend this board. If you have dual slot video cards and a sound card it's going to be tight. I can only utilize one PCI slot with two cards in there.

Pros: Nice case, has plenty of room inside, two USB ports and audio on the front for easy access. I am really enjoying this case, bought it to set up my Fiance's new computer in. She wanted quiet and we sure got it with this one. The rear case fan and power supply fan are barely audible and seem to supply plenty of air for the components. Components went into place with the provided hardware and are secure.

Cons: The on/off and reset switches are under the front cover plate. If you want to turn your computer on, you have to open the cover to access the button.

Pros: This thing is awesome and, well, beautiful! It cools my CPU extremely well. Running COD MW II for 2 hours on a Phenom IIx4 965 oc'd to 3.93 and running at 38 C, idles at 32 C, ambient temp is 22 C. I'm running the fan @ 2/3 speed for optimal cooling and it is quieter than my case's 120mm fans. It's big, I suggest a dry run prior to thermal pasting it in there! The manufacturer's suggested mounting direction worked well for me on my MSI NF980-G65, no issues with the memory slots (1/8" clearance). Very nice, mirror like mounting surface, flat, didn't have to lap it and no scratches. Mounted easily with the supplied bracket.

Cons: *Kind of pricy, but worth it. *Can't marry it. *Doesn't scramble eggs. *This cooler is HUGE! make sure you have plenty of room in your case! *Mid towers might not work. measure, measure! *Fan at max speed creates vibration, shakes a little. *Fan at max speed seems to create turbulance, temps went up! Might be my case and local dynamics. lol *A four pin power plug would be nice for those who don't want to mess with a manual fan speed controller.

Overall Review: Newegg rocks! Had my stuff in two days! Thanks guys! CPU temps supplied by manufacturer's onboard oc controller. Temps taken with a laser heat gun @ 4 inches distance. The heat pipes seem to do a really good job. at the mounting block 40 C, in the heat pipes and fins 38 C.

Pros: Very nice, just upgraded from and OC'd 939 socket (yeah, I know) and I've noticed a marked improvement in performance, especially when gaming. CPU is coupled with 800 MHz DDR2 memory and does really well. Windows loads faster, online gaming experience is enhanced. Highly reccommend to AMD users.

Cons: Thought this was a Black Addition? Doesn't seem to be very overclockable. Mine runs stable at an OC of 3.455 (stock is 3.2) on air cooling playing Call of Duty 4 for as long as I want.

Overall Review: Seems to multi-task very well. Was using a server processor before (Opter*n 170) and this CPU multi-tasks even better. Temerature hasn't been an issue with a large heatsink, 37*C under load and 28*C idling. Cooled down about 6*C after letting the machine run for 24 hours straight (seating in the heatsink with Arctic Silver).

Pros: WOW! Can't believe how cool this keeps my CPU. I've got an AMD 6400+ OC'd to 3.455 running SLI, Call of Duty 4 for 2 hours and I can't get the CPU above 37*C! It's idling at 28*C. Easy install, 4 phillip's head screws off, new backing plate, 4 screws back on (add a little arctic silver) and a quick clip down to the provided bracket, done! Rock solid, doesn't move around on top of the CPU, I installed my mobo holding onto the cooler. I would highly reccommend, if you have the room.

Cons: Not really a con, but it's big! Figure needed room in your case to be about 6"H x 4.5" x 4.5". Fits good in Th*rmalt*ke Arm*r case, has 1/4" space between the top of the cooler and the door fan. Blue LED, cool but you can't really see it when the cooler is mounted

Overall Review: Fits just fine on my A*us M2N SLI D*luxe mobo. My memory sets above the CPU, no clearance issues 4 sticks installed. To mount this on my mobo, had to direct airflow up towards the top of the case, no problems, no heat issue on my memory either. The overall size is larger than around the base of the cooler. Coming up from the CPU to the aluminum fins, the heat pipes are roughly 4" x 4" and approx. 2" from the mobo to the bottom of the aluminum fins.
