Pros: Solid construction. Very quiet, even on full speed. Broad card compatibility list.

Cons: The heatsink glue. The included directions said to go to the website for the most up to date instructions, so I did. Online, it said that the glue was in a tube, what I actually got was two packets that had me mix the glue together and it was a 6 hour cure time. Granted, I don't mind doing that, but trying to get all of the glue out of each individual packet is a pain in the backside. Also, may not fit some cases. I have about 3mm clearance from my side fan.

Overall Review: I am overall impressed with this cooler. My EVGA Superclocked 560Ti was running around the 80c mark (on SWTOR, not even Kombustor or Furmark) and the fan was obnoxiously loud. so I threw my old 260 GTX in while I waited for this cooler to arrive. My idle temps went from around 55c all the way down to 30c (that's keeping my case fans turn down low for silence), and from 80c with casual gaming down to around 52c. I will surely recommend this to anyone who is looking for an aftermarket cooler and has only a mid-tower case. Deducting one Egg since the website advertised glue in a tube with no mixing but I got the more tedious version.

Pros: The lights on these suckers are nice and bright. i got a mesh fron and its shines through the holes, looks pretty sick. Airflow isnt bad for the price.

Cons: Ordered two of them, took longer than usual to arrive. Even though the fans have nice lights, one of the ones i recieved doesnt work.

Overall Review: Easier to just buy a new one instead of RMAing this one.

Pros: Price (nabbed it for $175) Colors on the screen Brightness of the screen Screen real-estate Overclockable refresh rate (mine sits at 75Hz) OSD is easy to use Overall clarity of picture *I have not used the 4-screen split feature. I cannot comment on that functional aspect of the monitor*

Cons: I have less money because of this monitor.

Overall Review: This thing is awesome. If you have an older monitor and are looking for an upgrade I would strongly consider this one. The first thing that I noticed about this monitor was the solid feel and overall look. The panel is non-glare, which is awesome for me because there is always a light on in the room. The bit of extra screen real-estate makes a considerable difference to my web browsing and gaming sessions. There is one thing that I knew would happen if I were to buy this monitor. The only thing I dislike, but is NOT a con, is that I have to turn down some of the graphical settings in a few of my games. I'm running a 2GB 770 and many of my games still look good aside from more recent AAA titles. So if you don't mind a little graphics hit, or if you got to money to get this thing, I would suggest in doing so. NO RAGRETS.

Pros: - Refined Maxwell architecture - Unlocked multiplier - Runs cool and sips power - Handles high bandwidth RAM - Native SATA III support

Cons: - Not competitively priced when compared to AMD and price-to-performance ratio - The included software offer for McAfee should have just been free since Intel owns McAfee

Overall Review: This is an upgrade to my i7 920 that was OC'd to 3.4Ghz. The performance improvements are for more noticeable than I anticipated. My old CPU was the bottleneck for my graphics card (Gigabyte 770 2GB). For an example: I couldn't use SSAA in Metro:LL because it was so demanding. I thought it was my video card, but my new 4690K allows me to use 2xSSAA and it runs 45-60 FPS now O.O. BUY IT!!!

Pros: - Cheap ($130 after MIB at time of this post). - Supports Devils Canyon - 8 SATA ports - Solid build quality - Nice ROG LED effects built-in.

Cons: - Can't do 3-way SLI/XFire - Doesn't have many fan headers

Overall Review: Bought this and a 4690K as a replacement for my i7 920 and Sabertooth x58. I have been nothing but impressed with this upgrade. This is a great deal if you are looking to upgrade.

Pros: - Runs cool - - Idle speed is 800Mhz - Unlocked multiplier - Can handle the bandwidth of multiple video cards and 2k+Mhz RAM

Cons: - 1.5MB L3 Cache per core; 256KB L2 Cache per core (I feel like the cache has been ignored over the past decade of CPU innovation. C'mon, increase the cache and see what kind of speeds we can get.) - Came with offer for software purchase; should have just bundled a download code since the software was owned by them.

Overall Review: I came from a first gen i7 920 OC'd @ 3.4 in a ASUS Sabertooth and paired it with a Gigabyte 770. I didn't worry too much about the quality of my gaming as I was still able to hit 45-60 FPS in the modern titles (Crysis 3, Metro: LL, Tomb Raider reboot, Diablo 3 [stresses a CPU more than you think]) on high/very high settings. However, I wanted to be prepared for The Witcher 3 in May, and other multiplayer games that need a better CPU. I bought this i5 and placed it in the ASUS Maximus VI Hero with the same 770 from above. I can now run Tomb Raider on Ultra settings, with TressFX turned on, and I maintain a solid 60 FPS (before, it would dip to 30 or less in the very large areas that had a lot of action). I can turn Crysis 3 on Very High settings and use a bit of TXAA and still run a solid 60 FPS even in all the stupid CPU dependent grass :/. Diablo 3 never dips below 60 FPS in the large mob farm areas now. I knew that my old CPU was a bottleneck, but I did not anticipate results as impressive as these. If you're on the first gen i7, or even first gen i5, and you are getting the upgrade itch (hell of an itch), I would recommend the i5 4690k. It consumes less power, idles lower, runs cooler, overclocks better, and makes your CPU cooler run quieter because it's so cool. Get this CPU if it is in your budget
