Pros: VERY VERY FAST. This pretty much gives you SLI performance and quad core performance in a good 2 core CPU and a card such as the 8800GT. This OS is very fast and more stable that the 32bit version. More advanced features and more streamlined mechanics.

Cons: Java and flash have problems, still cannot get them to work properly.

Overall Review: Great upgrade from 32bit but make sure you check your processor and motherboard for 64bit compatibility. Also installation is a breeze.

Pros: Not much science behind a wrist strap. The cable leads are nice with the option to use a alligator clip or banana style plug (really, how many of us own ESD workbenches). The cable retracts back to its original shape no issue unless you over stretch it.

Cons: The manner in which the wrist strap locks is poorly engineered. The strap locks in place by a friction clasp that will stay for may 30 mins before it lets loose. Once the strap retracts or expands to its largest dimension, it is very difficult to get a hold of to pull tighter. One almost needs pliers to initially get a hold of the retracted strap.

Overall Review: If one is a home user like myself, this strap is a cost effective option that is of adequate quality. Do not get this model if one intends for everyday use or for commercial/professional use.

Pros: I'm a critic of cable quality, particularly the strain relief on the connector housing and the flexibility of the cable. These cables have a very soft feel and do not have a memory, which is ideal from my experience. The XLR side connector even looks removable. The fit is tight as it should be, but not overly tight. Cables do not have play in their sockets.

Cons: None. This is a fine product for a good price for the quality.

Pros: I'm transitioning from the Zalman 9500 on the 775 socket type and some of you may remember the difficulty of the install on that CPU cooler that probably lead to many hard impacts with screwdrivers on the underlying motherboard. This cooler is a considerable step above that. Installation is clear and straightforward. They even include an Allen wrench, however mine was defective and I had to use my own. My CPU is an i7-6800K and it idles about 30C in a 21C room. Maximum heat achieved using Prime 95 was 42C which is pretty phenomenal (stock frequencies).

Cons: The fan assembly mounting scheme inside the heat sink is poorly engineered. The fan housing is more or less press fit into the heat sink and held in place by friction I had to straighten mine to get the fan to run in the same plane as the heat block. The nickle plating on the heat pipes looks like it is not adhered as well as one might find on a nickle plated industrial part, but is sufficient for this consumer application.

Overall Review: This cooler has a sleek look with the blue LED adding a nice halo effect the the photos on Newegg don't do justice. As I mentioned, the cooling characteristics are typical of Zalman and should not disappoint anyone looking for a great air cooler with margin to overclock.

Pros: Wish I could give 4.5 eggs, but it earns a 5. The construction is solid and everything is aluminum or steel, except the item in the cons section. The front of the case is on quick release push-lock clips that allow for instant and tool-less removable to clean the fans in the front. This is quite a remarkable idea that was a nice surprise. HDD 5.25" bays are modular and re-configurable with easy access from the back. Plenty of wire slots (all with rubber grommets) and even cable tie down hard points bossed into the sheet metal that can accept zip ties. This case can accept additional top mounted fans (I believe it is 120mm) The fans on this case are Corsair AF140L and are pretty quiet. All internal cables are of sufficient length with the exception of the HDD, LED, On/Off, lights which if routed through the back, one cannot use a quick connector for these cables due to being about 2" short.

Cons: Few, but the 2.5" SSD bays are not that well designed. If used, they can interfere with the 5.25" bays but the construction is reasonable. The 5.25" HDD holding brackets are pretty lousy and the one vice of this case. The plastic is very thin and can probably easily be broken if bent too far. Use caution when installing the HDDs and use a knife to pry the locking last locking pin into the HDD. Also HDDs cannot be mounted such that the cables face the main door. All HDD cables must be routed through the back of the case which is not normally an issue.

Overall Review: This case has a very clean look and solid construction. It comes with a high degree of configuration options and if definitely a choice if one wishes to invest in a platform for 5+ years to allow for future upgrades.

Pros: The output design and layout is overall pretty clean. The fit of all the connectors was smooth and none were tight. The bag included for spare cables was a nice touch and the cables themselves are sturdily made with solid crimps and pin placement in connectors. I'm an industrial design engineer and notice these things :)

Cons: The 8pin CPU cables are about 2" too short for a comfortable cable run in a full tower case. On my setup, they barely reached my 2011-V3 CPU connections while routed around the back of the motherboard (as they should be!). I was eventually able to "massage" the cables to a fit that is tighter than I would like, but acceptable. As I said, this PSU is perfect for a mid tower case, but 1250 watts in a mid tower would be quite difficult. I have the Corsair Obsidian Series 750D Airflow CC-9011078-WW case for reference. All 22pin and 4 pin power connections have 3x plugs. It would be nice if they included a cable with only 1 each for those oddball or isolated peripherals. The 8pin PCI power plugs as well as the 8pin CPU plugs have a "locking" mechanism that does not always provide a secure fastening of the plug halves (split 6+2 for the PCI and 4+4 for the CPU) and these can be difficult to get fully mated. Ensure that both locking clips latch!

Overall Review: I've been using PC Power and Cooling for years and they run and run and run. This PSU has audible relay clicks which tell me that the relay is a healthy size and without opening it and looking, the construction seems just as fine as the PC Power and Cooling Silencer I bought 10 years ago.
