Great RAM
Pros: Works as adverstised. Great price. Hard to believe I paid more than this for 2 GB of DDR2 back in 2006. Mushkin is a reliable brand and I have only heard good things about them. Great deal!
Cons: None so far.
Overall Review: These other brands that toot about their 7-7-7-21 timings are playing the hype. You will not notice a difference between 9-9-9-24 and 7-7-7-21, and this RAM is cheaper. Go with this, unless you are building a system just to boast about some ridiculous benchmark.
Great Product
Pros: These things are amazingly clear. You can not even tell it is on my iPad unless you look closely around the edges. The Retina display is just as vibrant and beautiful as it was before applying it. There are 3 in the box so if you mess up the application, you can always grab another.
Cons: None.
Overall Review: I think this is the third Great Shield brand protector I have bought for various tablets. Great brand that I will continue to buy.
Great so far
Pros: Modular, Decent Price, Blue Lights. This PSU is working as advertised. This is my first modular unit, but the design seems solid. It feels well built (fairly heavy).
Cons: There are 4 SATA connections on the PSU (Molex uses a SATA connection), but 2 SATA cables and 1 Molex cable. I would think they would give you all the cables to support all the connections, but no.
Overall Review: This is the first Raidmax product I have purchased since 2007. The last one, which was also a PSU, slowly turned into a loud annoyance when the fan bearings wore out. I hope this one does not do the same.
Great Budget Gaming CPU
Pros: Ivy Bridge, Most inexpensive i3 (Ivy Bridge). If you are building a budget gaming rig, do your research! This dual core chip with defeat or run alongside most of AMD's quad, 6, and 8 core CPUs in games. If you simply look at Sysmark Overall scores, you won't see this, but if you dig, you will find out that this little package gets the job done quite well, with much less power draw. Games prefer fewer, higher clocked cores. An 8 core AMD chip won't do much for you in a game if each core is not very powerful independently.
Cons: None.
Overall Review: ASRock B75M-DGS Kingston HyperX Blu Red Series 2x4 GB (8 GB) Sapphire Radeon HD 7750
Great RAM
Pros: I got it for $29.99 with promo. DDR3 1600 and looks nice. Ran Memtest86 for two full scans and had zero errors.
Cons: Not necessarily the fault of the RAM, but it clocked at 1333 by default. It could be my motherboard though, not sure. Once I manually clocked it to 1.65V, 1600 MHz, 9-9-9, it worked flawlessly. The Kingston website has a .pdf for download for this model and the .pdf seems to focus more on this RAM's 1333 MHz speed than the 1600 MHz speed, so perhaps something is a miss.
Overall Review: Used in a ASRock B75M-DGS with an i3 3220.
