Pros: DDR3 1333 FAST! Includes heat spreaders G.Skill lifetime warranty Pretty Low profile heat spreaders make bigger CPU coolers possible.

Cons: MoBo defaults to 8-8-8-24 timings. Memory threw errors in MemTest running at the 8-8-8 timings. G.Skill should include directions for how to update this, or at least a warning.

Overall Review: The very first thing you need to do when installing this memory is set the timings in your BIOS. Seems that every reviewer says the same thing. Their MOBO defaults this memory to the 8-8-8 timings. Why is that? The memory does not include any instructions or notification that this will happen. Once the timings are set, this memory is BLAZING fast! Ran MemTest for 3 hours with 0 errors. Another thing to keep in mind! This memory has the low profile heat spreaders. If I had gotten the other brand with the obnoxious tall heat spreaders, I could not have fit a Zalman CPU cooler into my machine. They would have hit each other. These fit just fine and leave about 1/2" of room between the ram and the fins of the cooler. I emailed G.Skill support and they responded in 3 days. Very friendly, very helpful. I'm confident in this memory and this company. Gigabyte GAMA785GMT-UD2H AMD Phenom II 550 BE Zalman 9700

Pros: Cheap Easy install on AM3

Cons: 3 pin power supply connection No fan speed control Not copper Cooling ability is mediocre

Overall Review: AM3 Phenom II 550 Dual Core running at stock speeds and voltages 33C idle, 56C load Prime95, tested twice Frequently goes over 50C while gaming. I am replacing this unit with another brand. The cooling is not sufficient for me.

Pros: Fast! Good size for SSD M.2 3.0x4

Cons: Price, but you get what you pay for.

Overall Review: Window installation speed was so fast it blew me away! I did not have to change anything in my bios or settings for this to work, other than setting the boot drive order. MB: Asus Maximus VIII Hero On day 2 of my new build, I had to reinstall windows due to a corrupted windows file. I cannot be sure what caused the corrupted file. I'm now at 2+ weeks and no problems at all.

Pros: Inexpensive Powerful Cool looking

Cons: Not Modular

Overall Review: This PSU has worked great for me. It looks great with the blue light and clear sides, but you can also see how dust builds up inside of it. I hardly think this is a con, since all PSUs build up dust. I've been running this in a gaming pc for 2.5 years with no problems.

Pros: Cheap HDMI AM3 Bios has tons of options

Cons: Not many USB ports on back.

Overall Review: I had some issues with the video driver for the onboard video, even after updating to the latest version. I reinstalled the same driver again and the issue went away. I put in a separate video card shortly after so I wasn't real concerned with the onboard video anyway. The bios has a lot of options. I don't understand them all, but I was able to get it working with little trouble. My 4GB Ripjaws memory was rated at 1.5v but the board had it set to 1.7, which caused me some errors. Once I got that figured out and changed, everything worked fine.

Pros: Love it, its pricey but very nice, construction is high quality

Cons: all those fans are noisy. I run them on all med with an adjustable cpu fan.
