Pros: The heat syncs look cool and the ram runs quick as it should.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Since it's 1866 ram, don't forget to change your MOBO's setting from 1333.

Most Critical Review

Cool looking product, pretty simply to set up

Pros: -It looks cool -Instructions are really straight forward -Doesn't seem to be as loud as some reviews say -Does a far better job than the stock fan that came with my old cpu

Cons: The connector on one of the fans came in the box MELTED. I had the whole thing installed by the time that I noticed it. Plug the fans in last - no big deal and simplest part right? Couldn't believe it when I seen it. Impossible to fit it over the pins. I'm currently running it with one of the original fans and another fan that I had kicking around.

Overall Review: This is my first purchase from deepcool, so I don't know how I feel about getting a melted fan connector in the mail. Makes me worried about what the other components went through. I'll consider changing my rating and review if they replace the fan.

Great Case

Pros: It looks great, it sounds great (nothing but silence) and the airflow seems awesome. There was plenty space for all of my gear and plenty room left for my future endeavors.

Cons: I've been working in IT for some time now but this was my first time building the machine that I wanted for me. Having little experience with case fans, I could have used the heads up that the pre-installed fans were already connected to where they needed to be... threw me for a loop. I suppose it's not so much the cases fault rather than my own.

Overall Review: I noticed what people meant about the rubber pieces that hold the wires seem to pop out easily. However, I had no issue at all. As long as you are careful and gentle with it, there's no issue and the cables feed through easy.
