Pros: RAM works great and had a great price when I bought it. Able to overclock to 2666mhz stable. Gave decent improvements in benchmarks. Works just fine without the heat spreaders.

Cons: Doesn't overclock even higher? For me the heat spreaders got in the way of the CPU cooler so I had to remove them. Works fine without though.

Overall Review: Used Noctua NH-D15 cpu cooler and Gigabyte Gaming 1 mATX motherboard inside a Silverstone SG09 case.

Pros: Good performance for the money. Allows the use of freesync enabled monitors which are cheaper than G-Sync monitors. Fit inside the Silverstone ML08 no problem even though it appeared it might not fit based on dimensions given in the specs of both products. It ran stable for hours of gaming use.

Cons: It is the loudest and hottest running gpu I have ever experienced. It literally heats up the chassis to the point where you can't keep your hand on it. I was so surprised AMD could release such a bad cooler design. The sound levels are unacceptably loud as well. This could make your computer work as a space heater though.

Overall Review: I went through a time where I didn't pay attention to video card related news. I did not realize the reference design for these cards was so bad. I wanted a blower style cooler for a mini itx build to keep the heat from building inside the case. I have never had issues with Nvidia reference blower designs so I did not expect any different.

Pros: Over 2 years ago, I was looking for a cheap 19" monitor that had great performance, and this was and still is the best out there for the money. There is a reason why his monitor has been rated so highly. It has great color, is bright, has a quick response time, and performs better than most LCD's out of its native resolution, as in, having less blurriness (especially compared to Samsung, ugh). This is very useful if you have a weak computer or plan on using it for console gaming. What is even better is that it performs better as it ages.

Cons: Speakers are functional, but not good. But honestly, who is going to use monitor speakers? The black levels are fine, but compared to really high end LCD's, they could be better, but still among the best for the price.

Overall Review: I have been using this monitor for my pc and 360 for over 2 years and I don't regret my purchase in the least. It has performed flawlessly the entire time, and it gets plenty of use.
