Pros: Keeps my CPU so cool and the sideways fan also helps to keep my memory cooler. Very quiet Afforable price

Cons: None.

Overall Review: I would buy it again. If you love your processor and want it to last this is a good cool and quiet option.

Pros: Great Specs at an excellent price! This was the product that I choose so it's good. 1- If you got this Memory working with no issue and no Memtest86 errors I am completely Jealous... 2- More than enough memory for gaming and very fast Bios settings: -CAS: 9 -tRCD:10 -tRP:9 -tRAS:27 Command Rate: 2T DRAm Voltage: 1.5V DRAM Frequency: 1866MHZ -Corsair was initially swift responding to my bad memory by providing recomended bios settings to use before running memtest insteead of automatic settings... If you have time and are willing to wait they will eventually take care of thier products and pay for shipping (I need a replacement and I can't wait... but if you can wait it's nice to have a brand name that will take care of it's own)

Cons: -Both memory Modules were defective in my case -Because I was building a new system it was difficult for me to troubleshoot the problem I was having. 1- finding out that my issue was memory related 2-After running memtest and finding errors on each stick it was difficult to determine that my errors were cause by my memory Modules... (To be sure to identify the problem I was forced to borrow memory from a friend and plug that in.) In a whole this problem caused me allot of time and also got me to buy a new Hard drive.

Overall Review: Looking beyond the numbers I sugest reading all the reviews here to look at the the % of RMA's and then factor that as a hidden cost of purchase (risk adjusted cost of shipping return) Then again if you have time on your side because, your not in a rush or because you have backup memory to use/ test then this might not be a bad purchase if the price is right for you and your willing to wait if your one of the unlucky ones.

Pros: + Strong signal strength at a long range + Stable connection without periodic disconnects + Fast quality WiFi with USB3 + "Relatively easy" to set up compared to alternative of setting up a WiFi bridge. (See more on this point later)

Cons: - "Relatively easy" is not always easy. Okay, so the drivers are not included on Windows 8 install disc, this is troublesome but not a big deal if you are prepared. - Last week I had a hassle upgrading from Windows 8 to 8.1. I needed a fresh install of Windows on my OS drive, so after installing this adapter driver to update Windows 8, I was thought I was prepared to upgrade to windows 8.1. Upon restart this adapter driver caused an immediate crash with the unfortunate Windows ;( blue screen stating that there was some driver conflict and it would restore my system back to Windows 8. It took me a little while to identify the driver conflict as coming from this hardware, but it was confirmed after being able to upgrade by network cable with the adapter unplugged. Then resulting an immediate crash in Windows 8.1 after plugging this device in. To solve the problem I had to uninstall the adapter while unplugged and then run the very same install setup again one last time in Windows 8.1. Now it works. So be prepared for some extra steps when upgrading and you won't have the hassle I experienced. - I have a small pet peeve about having a second WiFi icon running in my task bar. It's kind of redundant for me since I don't use the function such as switching from "station" to "access point mode". So that annoys me since so many other hardware and software seems to push having additional services running in the background. I don't want it thank you. It would be nice if the "setup" install program offered an option not to have the additional "Rosewill wireless LAN Utility" installed, that would be courteous.

Overall Review: I am so happy with this purchase and consider it money well spent! This solved my range problems connecting to my distant home network This was way simpler than my previous solution of setting up a WiFi bridge and the connection it provides me is much more stable than the results I was able to achieve with the hardware I attempted to use for dd-wrt bridge.

Pros: This review is an update! I bought this cheap back in January 2013. Now, 2 years later while running Overclocked 2133Mhz memory, the box I put together is still rock solid stable. No news is good news, and i have had zero problems so far. This is the hardware setup I matched: FX -6300 Vishera six core processor 8GB 2133Mhz Kingston HyperX Memory HD 7950 Radeon HIS IceQ Boost 128GB SSD Crucial M4 2TB Seagate HD Cool Master Hyper EVO 212 -CPU Cooler Note: If you go Vishera, make sure you get a processor under 140 watts. Also you will need BIOS version 11/09/12 or newer for Vishera.

Cons: Out of Stock - It has been difficult to get in the past 2 years. I was shopping for this board on at least two specific occasions were it wasn't available. Synergy- The price of the FX Vishera processors has not changed much in these last 2 years. This is not specifically a problem about this motherboard. What I'm saying is the value of having a motherboard that supported a Vishera CPU seemed to have more bang for the buck back in 2013. ((There have been some nice new 8 core vishera's added though that are under the 140watt mark.... but still))

Overall Review: In my original review I made a typo calling it a "790 board" while this is in fact a "970 board". That error has haunted me since the motherboard has been so good to me, while my review might have possibly added to consumer confusion.

Pros: it sticks onto my case quiet nicely easy to take off to clean filters dust out

Cons: The holes presumably are to allow for space for the screws. However for my Corsair r200 case the holes a not quite big enough to allow for clearance because it has these rubber vibration gromits for the fans fan scews which have a slightly wider girth. Because of this issue for my case I use negative pressure fans and place these screens on the intakes vents to filter dust. The downside to ussing negative pressure pull is that I would need to cover all the holes to filter everything... For most cases with regular screws, you should be able to place it it over an intake fan vent without any gaps which would be a better application for these filters.

Overall Review: I'm not sure how much this helps but I rather clean the dust from the outside of the case rather than the inside on the components.

Pros: This works nicely at 2133Mhz No problems and no memtest errors =) The heat sinks are high and have allot of tiny fins. I like how my CPU fan on my EVO 212 can suck air past the tip of the heatsinks to help keep the memory cooler.

Cons: I can imagine that the heatsinks may be too high for some CPU coolers on some motherboards. On my motherboard there is enough width not to interfer, but the height of the heatsink is greater than the clearance for my Evo 212 coolmaster fan... (but then again if someone was stuck in this situation they could move the fan to the opposite side in a pull configeration.)

Overall Review: I wish I had bought two sets. I love these sticks, the high speed and the relability of Kingston is great and the heatsinks are serious. I'm using this with A970M-A motherboard and an AMD FX-6300 processor. I needed to update my motherboard BIOS to version to 11/09/12 to get the clock timer settings to 2133Mhz.
