Cons: None.

SUPER FAST!

Pros: Very fast speeds Easy to setup

Cons: None

Overall Review: DO NOT let any of the negative reviews let you shy away from purchasing this product. Firstly, this modem's main feature is that of the DOCSIS 3.0. DOCSIS 3.0 is the highest version of cable service that you can currently run. This is 4x faster than any modem version previous. Secondly, it should be noted that I use Comcast. Most people don't mention that speeds are dependent of your package. This is what is going to determine what your speeds really are. If you do happen to be running Comcast, no matter what package you are currently using, your speed will be effectively doubled by using this modem. I am running on their 'performance' package and went from 6-8mbps downstream to 12-15mbps downstream. And although Comcast did advertise upload speeds at 2mbps, I was uploading right around 4.73 max. All round, a very noticeable difference. Lastly, to BE ABLE to run this modem at its full potential, your ISP MUST have a network that has been upgraded to the DOCSIS 3.0 standar

Pros: I have been using Power and PC cooling PSU's for some time now. Great brand, great performance, and runs very quiet. Provides all the power I need for graphic intense games.

Cons: None.

Great CPU

Pros: Nice shipping as usual. CPU runs nicely and at low temps even while gaming for hours. I don't particularly advocate using intel's provided heatsink and fan, and it is worth mentioning that I am using an aftermarket one.

Cons: None.

Pros: Nice mb. BIOS is loaded with customizable options. Overclocking is simple with manual or preset settings accessed through the BIOS. This applies to the memory, fans, and cpu.

Cons: None.
