Overall Review:
Great for gamers who overclock, spent $239 on this, carried over my zalman (30 bux) from my AMD build. Paired with a gigabyte MOBO. Used Artic silver paste (5 bux). I overclocked it to 4.5ghz and ran it hard for hours. Temps stayed in the 40s. Ran it to 5ghz, just needed a box fan to run some air into the PC closet while doing this Temps hit mid 50s sometimes before box fan. If this Tower wasn't stuffed in a tiny closet and in an air conditioned room, 5ghz without anymore assistance is easy to achieve.
