Remember that most people posting problems on forums are doing so because.... they are having problems. They don't post if everything is working as it should. On Newegg you'll see both sides.

Please tell me you don't take many of those Newegg reviews seriously?

probably more than half of the reviews posted there are from Noobs who think they know a lot about computers & hardware, when they don't know a thing...

I can't even count how many times I've read reviews & they've posted that they have a High technical understanding of stuff, & then make some lame post & sound like an idiot when they do...

I'd have to say very few (less than 50%) reviews are by knowledgeable people... from what I've read on there.

I always take the Newegg reviews with a ground chip of a grain of salt when using them for decisions on parts... which is why I read reviews or posts on there, plus several tech forums, to get a good idea of the product.
