Pros: Reasonable price Heat Spreader is huge, keeps it running cool Durable material, this is not a cheap flimsy piece of hardware 7.6 Performance rating on Windows 7 (I think it is not a 7.9 because of the processor, read below)

Cons: Rather Larger - Not really a problem, unless you would like to employ bulky, oversized CPU coolers or have a small and or cramped case

Overall Review: Be aware that many processors (for example the intel 2600k) only support memory up 1333mhz, so this IS COMPATIBLE, BUT it will down clock memory speed to 1333, but this is the fault of the processor, not the memory - not really an issue though, you will not notice the difference between 1333 and 1600

Pros: -Looks good -Not as thick as the cable that came with my PSU, so it can be routed to the back of the case easier -A little longer than most extension cables, which are 8 inches

Cons: -I cannot think of any, make sure to take measurements of what you need!
