Pros: + Does what is says. + Included note for Asus motherboard setting is a plus. + Easy to reach the stated speed and timings in a Asus Rampage II GENE. Even with 12 GB (6 modules) installed. + Operation so fast and smooth you will notice your CPU working harder than before because it's being well fed by the RAM. + Runs pretty cool even without a RAM fan. + Excellent quality thermal spreaders. + Good looking appearance. + Excellent packaging to protect the RAM during shipment. And [insert deity here] knows we all need this with Newegg.com shipping methods.
Cons: Need a RAM fan with better mounting hardware. The included fan mount takes an otherwise slick kit and makes it appear ghetto. A more stable mounting mechanism like the OTC XTC RAM cooler would be much better. Wish the RAM fans has a 3-ping motherboard header connection.
Overall Review: Mushkin could learn a lesson or two about excellent quality thermal spreaders from G.SKill! Even the current Ridgeback sucks in comparison and slide right off after a few insertions. The G.SKILL PI + Turbulence II spreaders stay in place and keep the RAM cool.
