Pros: Very fast. The 6mb L2 Cache helps alot with games. The stock speed combined with the price is STEAL. It overclocks like it was underclocked at the factory and is designed for a 3.6Ghz speed as stock.

Cons: None. See other Thoughts.

Overall Review: You need to do alittle research about the motherboard for this processor. The one who gave this processor 3 stars because they were too amateur to spend 15 minutes researching their motherboard's bios history, and whether or not there is a bio update to run Wolfdales. This processor is brand spankin new. It is up to the end-user to make the home for it, not the otherway around.

Pros: Ram worked fine at 2.1v, 5-5-5-12, and DDR2-960 speeds. I was running a 400 FSB on my E8400 with a 5:6 multiplier for fun and ram was running 480mhz. Played games, benched, and never experienced a single crash or bsod of any kind. After 3 weeks I put it back to 1:1 and have the FSB 425mhz along with the ram at 4-5-4-12 timings for now.

Cons: Luck of the draw?

Overall Review: From my personal experience this ram is very overclockable and stays cool. Used in a GA-x38-DS4 motherboard if that is wondered by anyone. Never had any issues using this ram at 2.1v without active cooling.

Pros: Has great layout for big video cards. 8 rear usb is nice. 6 internal sata is nice, and the included E-Sata bracket welcomed. The cooling is efficient, and well made. The overall features of the mobo is worth the price. Comes with true dualbios, not virtual dual bios. So you have 2 physical bios chips on here for added security when flashing. The northbridge HS is placed well enough even a wide zalman 9700 LED can fit without any issues. This board supports wolfdales, like my e8400, out of box without any bios flashing required.

Cons: none

Overall Review: I am still testing, but this is oced the e8400 to 3.6ghz out of box stable on default bios, F1. I was able to, without any hassle, raise the XMS2 DDR2-800 from 1.8v to 2.0v, set to 2.00B for 1:1, and run OCCT, p95, and Orthos overnight stable. I plan to go much higher. Overall this board is fantastic. It has all the features i could want for the near future, and is worth the price. I would build using this board again.

Pros: Boots up fine out of the box. Perfectly stable. Loads of features. About every highend option out there.

Cons: Not for overclockers but it is for gamers. It provides everything for a gaming system except SLI which isnt the best route anyhow.

Overall Review: Setup: AM2 3800+ 2.4ghz, 2gb Corsair XMS2 PC5400, WD 160gb Sata HDD, Sapphire 1900GT.

Pros: Solid voltages at peak times. Very silent. Plenty of cables and a solid dedicated single 12v rail @ 38amps.

Cons: None

Overall Review: This psu is stable. Nothing but admiration from me.

Pros: Sleek design,Easy installation of components, plenty of cooling, and alot of space.

Cons: Front cover can be a pain the first time. Once you know the trick to it its very simple.
