Great card, excellent value
Pros: Big upgrade for me. Despite being the most expensive card I have ever purchased, it is still a great value. Huge improvements in every game. Got rid of micro-studders for many games.
Cons: no cons, this is a great card overall
Overall Review: I have been waiting for a while to upgrade my gtx 460 SLI setup and I am not disappointed at all. Huge boost. 4GB of memory is great. I will be buying another in a couple months.
Recipe for Fail Sauce
Pros: I'll let u know when I get one that works.
Cons: Western Digital diagnostic tool reports read/write error code 2. Windows/bios randomly would/not identify the drive. Finally I was able to initialize it and format it but it would cause system hangs and other issues.
Overall Review: Not really
I'm still not totally sold on this board
Pros: Great board, great price. It has everything that the Asus p8p67 Pro does and is $30 cheaper. I have read that a lot of ppl are having problems with the Asus too, but so far this board has been great for me. It was easy to install and well designed.
Cons: None
Overall Review: Not enough to remove an egg, but this board uses some Etron usb 3.0 chip. Every other quality board out there uses a NEC controller. I'm having some issues with my Huawei EC168 usb air card not staying connected for very long. I'm not sure if it's because the card is old or the usb controllers are shabby.
Got this for my hippie girlfriend
Pros: This power supply runs great and has all the amps that my Radeon 4870 could possibly need.
Cons: None
Overall Review: Got this for my hippie girlfriend. She loves the fact that it is as earth friendly as you can get. Even if that only means it doesn't come with a power cable, it was still as cheap as any other good-name power supply out there.
Great product, great price
Pros: Got this package for $75 with instant rebate and put them in my new Sandy Bridge build.
Cons: None
Overall Review: After loading XMP Profile for 1600MHz, I had to bump the voltage up to 1.575 in my ASRock p67 Extreme4 otherwise it was not Prime95 stable for more than a few seconds. Not sure if this is because the values for the board are conservative or what exactly. I read other people are having some problems with advertised timings being too tight for SB chips, but I'm not complaining.
rebate is failure
Pros: good drive
Cons: the rebate is a scam. they claimed i can only submit one per household which i did. i've never bought anything from patriot in my life.
Overall Review: i wont buy anything from them in the future.
