Pros: Fast, Nice Heatsinks (When they work), Corsair

Cons: Got a bad stick, very high Bad:Good ratio

I was having nonstop issues, crashes, bsod, you name it. Everything would be fine and then things would crash, then everything, then a BSOD. Memory tests showed it was fine.

I think it was an overheating issue. It would be fine, and get progressivly worse. Than windows would stop so it didn't get fried.

Many reviews on other sites say that there are alot of DOA's. It seems to be true. Even better, this was my first PC build.

Pros: Works

Cons: No overclocking

Works well enough on a SB build. Not too happy with the 1.65v and no headroom for overclocking
