If you are concerned about your purchase because of reviews found on NewEgg, don't be. I have found that most NewEgg reviews are flawed at best and often mistakes are passed off as faulty equipment (especially motherboards and PSU's). I personally look at purchaser's reviews (regardless of the site) as "tech humor" - not to be taken seriously. If you are concerned because of things you've read here and in other forums, keep in mind that people here are usually bringing their problems so you aren't seeing a true representaion of ownership.
Read a few legitimate reviews, I doubt you'll be disappointed overall.
Start this same thread in the Overclocking section - I think you'll find a few owners there...
