Great bang for your buck!

Pros: *Temperature It keeps my Core 2 Quad Q9550 ice cold. In games, the max temperature I've reached so far has not even reached 50 deg Celsius! Idle, it keeps it in the low 30's or upper 20's. *Installation Has support for lots of different kinds of sockets. Fairly easy installation for me because my motherboard already had screw holes in it so I didn't need to use the back plate. *Noise I've noticed a lot of reviews complaining about noise. It's noticeable, but not bad at all. I didn't hear any high pitched wine like some other people have had. *Build Quality The whole thing feels and looks very well built. It's sturdy, and the fan guard is a nice feature as I sometimes will have my case open while the computer is running.
Cons: *Installation The screws were hard to keep in their holes while installing it. I lost a washer or two a few times. However, it was not a big enough concern to knock even one of it's eggs off. *Included Thermal Paste DON'T use this junk. It was dried up and looked like it wouldn't work to keep a processor from the 80's cool. I used Arctic Silver 5, and it works great. Spend the extra $7 and get yourself some good thermal paste.
Overall Review: This has been a great heatsink so far. I'm genuinely surprised at how well it keeps my processor cool! I thought I was buying a cheap, budget, just barely works to keep your processor cool enough heatsink. I'm glad to say, I was wrong! I also used it on a Core 2 Duo E4600 for a while, but I didn't have any SM Bus controller drivers installed so I can't tell you what the temperatures were like. However, from using it on the Core 2 Quad with such success, I'm willing to bet they were VERY good. Again, get some good thermal paste. I suggest Arctic Silver 5.

Great RAM

Pros: Well, it works great in my Dell Vostro 200 and it's fast! Better latency than my previous RAM. I bought two packs to max out my motherboard at 8GB. I ran a memtest with two passes and there were no errors. I haven't tried overclocking because my motherboard doesn't support it, so I can't say if it works well or not. However, I do like the way the heatspreaders look. They're reserved, yet nice to look at.
Cons: Price! These cost WAY too much at $55 each! I was able to get 8GB of DDR3 1600 RAM for $55 on sale! Luckily, I got this set when it was 15% off so it was affordable.
Overall Review: I would wait until there's another sale to get this RAM. However, if you need it now, this RAM is great! Stable, reliable, and fast.
Weird Compatibility Problem With Dell Computer

Pros: Newegg Pros: I got this during the 15% off memory sale and at that time it was priced at $65. With the 15% off, it was only$55! Okay, Product Pros: Well, it's DDR3 1600 so it's SUPER FAST! It's G Skill so it's reliable and backed by a GREAT warranty. The heatspreaders keep it cool to the touch, and look great with the motherboard that they're going to be installed on. The boards I got were black instead of green like the picture which is great because that matches the rest of my hardware.
Cons: I had a weird compatibility issue with a Dell Inspiron 560. I had previously purchased this exact set of RAM. I checked the model numbers and everything. The first set worked just fine in the 560. However, my newer set wouldn't let the machine POST. I couldn't get to BIOS or Windows. Put the older set back in, and it booted just fine. I was thinking, "great, got a bad set and I'm gonna have to issue an RMA." However, I decided to try them out on a friend's machine. It got to BIOS just fine so I figured that the RAM would be okay. I ran a Memtest just to be sure, and it returned no errors. This RAM is not going to be in the 560, it's going to be in a gaming machine I'm building, so this wasn't a con for me. I just wanted to make sure others knew so they wouldn't buy it for some Dell computer and get frustrated.
Overall Review: Overall I'm satisfied with this RAM. I think that even at $75 it's a great value. Just make sure that if you're buying ram for a Dell, make sure it's compatible. Again, I wasn't buying it for the Dell, it was just going to be a test machine.
Awesome Eggs!

Pros: I just received these today and I have to say, THEY ARE AWESOME!!! Making some scrambled neweggs sure did hit the spot! I hope newegg will add other groceries to their site!
Cons: Took a few days to get here...
Overall Review: Don't buy these if you are outside the United States. I know someone in Germany who ordered these and they came hatched!
Awesome RAM!

Pros: Where do I even begin? Well, it's DDR3 1600 so it's super fast, it's G-Skill so it's reliable and has a lifetime warranty, and it's REALLY PRETTY! In addition, I got it with the $25 promo code so it was a GREAT deal! The RAM I received had black boards instead of green like the picture (I'm not the only one) so it matched my motherboard wonderfully. The heat spreaders look nice and keep the RAM fairly cool. I ran a MemTest (one pass only) and all 8GB passed perfectly! I am overclocking the RAM to almost 1800 right now with no problems and I'm pretty sure I have some headway to maybe get it all the way up to 2000.
Cons: The RAM's speed defaulted to 1066 with my motherboard. I realize that there is an industry standard that will clock this ram (any ram over 1333) lower than labeled, but I'm pretty sure that it's only supposed to bring it down to 1333. No matter, as I stated before, I easily overclocked it to over 1600.
Overall Review: I haven't had the RAM very long. If I remember, I'll write another review when I've had it longer and discuss the reliability of the RAM. But again, it has a lifetime warranty so if something DOES go wrong, I've got G-Skill to fall back on.
Awesome Card

Pros: The card is shorter than I expected and fits in my small case well. It runs my games EXTRAORDINARILY well, especially in comparison to my old 9500 GT. It's got great ventilation and overall works well.
Cons: It may say it's a 2 slot card, but it's really a 3 slot card. You wouldn't be able to fit anything in the open slot below it. Luckily I don't have anything to put in the slot below it so I'm all set there. I still think it should be a 1 slot card. As mentioned in the other reviews, the fan is loud. However, with the software included (EVGA Precision), you can manually change the fan speed.
Overall Review: I don't know what happened with that one guy who didn't get the power adapter. Mine included it although I didn't need it. Great card, especially for this price (plus the $25 rebate I got). Don't hesitate buying this card.
