Too many to list. Fast, reliable, and is it not overclockable? Reliable as ever; never had a problem with Corsair memory.
The cooling fins look incredible - just had to throw that in there.
DDR3 can do magic. Go to Nvidia Forums, look for CUDA Programming and Development, and look for a thread titled "x58 Chipset PCIE Bandwidth." There you will find an interesting discussion (and real performance data) of how fast DDR3 triple channel with Core i7 really is.

If you find any cons, contact me...

Ok, I want to correct some misconceptions about these modules. They are not DDR3 1066 MHz stock. The only reason hey run at 1066 is because the Core i7's memory controller is rated at 1066 MHz; anything above that overclocks the CPU's memory controller. These are actually DDR3 1333 sticks with huge overclocking potential. They have SPD settings for 1333MHz @ 9-10-10-25 and 1.5V (standard for DDR3). There's also an XMP Profile set for 1600 @ 8-8-8-24 and 1.65V; here's where the overclocking is, but they're guaranteed to work at these settings.
So if you want to operate these anywhere above Intel's slow 1066MHz, you will have to dig through the BIOS and increase speed yourself. THAT IS DUE TO THE CPU, NOT THE STICKS!!! Luckily, all you have to do is select XMP Profile 1 and it will run at its true potential.
