Great 1600 Ram

G.SKILL Sniper Gaming Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-1600C9D-16GSR
G.SKILL Sniper Gaming Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-1600C9D-16GSR

Pros: Easy change in bios for 1600 and runs fast

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Lot of people talking about how it does run 1600, that's because 90% of the time you have to change it in bios. No need to give a bad review because you can't take 2 seconds in bios to change your speeds...

Most Critical Review

Broken Modular Port..

Rosewill HIVE Series, HIVE-750S, 750W Fully Modular Power Supply, 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified, Single +12V Rail, SLI & CrossFire Ready, Black
Rosewill HIVE Series, HIVE-750S, 750W Fully Modular Power Supply, 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified, Single +12V Rail, SLI & CrossFire Ready, Black

Pros: Keeps everything running and doesn't get hot.

Cons: Got all the pieces for my build put in, turned it on... nothing. After messing with it for 15-20 minutes I found out that one of the modular ports didn't work and had to switch to another open slot and everything fired up.

Overall Review: Again, from cons, the port was difficult to get things plugged in to it while all others were easy. Don't know how all but one ports don't work, but kinda lame. 3 eggs for at least powering up all my high powered components, but 2 down for a bad port.

Fast

AMD FX-8150 - FX-Series Zambezi 8-Core 3.6 GHz Socket AM3+ 125W Desktop Processor - FD8150FRGUBOX
AMD FX-8150 - FX-Series Zambezi 8-Core 3.6 GHz Socket AM3+ 125W Desktop Processor - FD8150FRGUBOX

Pros: Fast and honestly I thought the 125W was gonna run hot, but it's been staying really low :D

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: Again, with 125W I thought this thing was gonna produce high temps so I went with a dual fan Hyper 212 evo and some arctic silver compound and this thing idles around 2-12C (pending on room temp) and under load it's doesn't go past 35C -- At first I thought this was wrong, but all the programs I ran show same results so... Just means I have some OC room! :D

Arctic Silver 5 High-Density Polysynthetic Silver Thermal Compound AS5-3.5G

Pros: Applies easy and is the best stuff I've used :D

Cons: None

Overall Review: Again, easy to apply and I haven't seen anything help keep my temps this low before. That said, my Hyper 212 Evo does a lot of the work too! :D
