Excellent; consistent with my high expectations for Noctua products
Pros: Temperatures of M128-26 under load dropped by approximately 20C compared to my prior cooling solution, which was a passive heatsink (which shipped with the Ampere/AsrockRack bundle from Newegg) plus an $8 fan aluminum taped to it.
Overall Review: Noctua continues to set the gold standard for cooling solutions, consistently meeting my high expectations they've established over the years. Each purchase reaffirms their commitment to quality and performance. That Noctua offers this product is commendable and greatly appreciated.
Slow
Pros: Free w/ purchase of some RAM for my macbook pro. Small size (the usb ports on MacBook pro are stupidly close together), so this drive fits with a mouse plugged in.
Cons: Very slow (~ 2 MB/sec) writes. All my other flash drives are at least twice as fast. Not fast enough for Win7 ReadyBoost. The cap over the USB plug fits very loose
Pros: UEFI bios is kinda neat. First time using something like it.
Cons: A little flimsier than other boards I've used in the past.
Overall Review: Works great with Linux.
Pros: Awesomely fast.
Cons: Expensive
Overall Review: Worth it.
Pros: 8 cores, cheap
Cons: stock heatsink fan sucks. fan is really loud. heatsink has some heatpipes that hiss
Pros: No problems so far
Cons: Of course as soon as I order two separate sticks, they introduce an 8GB package that's $20 cheaper than buying two 4GB sticks individually.
Overall Review: I ordered two 4GB sticks for my MacBook Pro. Ran Memtest86+ on it and it showed many errors. Put the original RAM back in and ran Memtest86+ again - got more errors. A little research revealed that Memtest86+ on Apple's intel hardware can give false positives. Downloaded a memtest frontend called "Rember" and ran it with the new RAM, no problems.
