Advice on Setup

CORSAIR XMS3 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMX8GX3M2B1600C9
CORSAIR XMS3 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMX8GX3M2B1600C9

Pros: Great memory for the price

Cons: See Other Thoughts

Overall Review: Just an FYI to people that buy this memory. I have an Asrock P67 board. For some reason it kept setting this memory to 1333mhz (I have the 1600mhz version) and the voltage to 1.65v. I have a sandy bridge CPU (i5-2500k) and it did not like 1.65v. Make sure you set it to 1.5 volts and force it to 1600mhz in the bios. After that, no more memory errors in Windows or blue screens of death. Just an FYI

Great case

Pros: Great design. Love the front face features

Cons: None at all. Although I did have to take the one side off to hook up the back 120mm fan. Not sure why they didn't provide a longer cable like they did with the others and run it down by where the PSU would be.

Pros: Huge screen. Easy to read. Excellent at updating. Make sure you go on their website and register your product so you can get a firmware update and a free mappack update.

Cons: When we got into the center of Chicago, the buildings started blocking the signal so the thing went nuts with directions. I think that's with all GPS though.

Awesome

Pros: Fits perfectly in my ears. No soreness after sitting in my ear for awhile. Excellent sound.

Cons: None so far.

Great PSU (so far)

Pros: So far it's a great PSU. I had to switch to a different PSU after I upgraded my video card and needed different power cables. The detachable cables really helped clean up my case. I have a full tower and all the cables reached fine.

Cons: None so far but I have only owned it for a month or so now. My old OCZ 470W Powerstream lasted me 6 years (and still works today). I hope this one can run the same.

Pros: Excellent motherboard. Make sure you update to the latest bios (this is usual practice). My thermalright xp-120 cpu cooler even fits on it.

Cons: None.
