Most Favorable Review

loud, but moves a ton of air

Bgears b-PWM 120 Translucent Blue with Blue LEDs, 15 Blades 2 Ball Bearing PWM fan with 500 to 2000 RPM, 110 CFM, 37.3dBA
Bgears b-PWM 120 Translucent Blue with Blue LEDs, 15 Blades 2 Ball Bearing PWM fan with 500 to 2000 RPM, 110 CFM, 37.3dBA

Pros: Moves a bunch of air and keeps things cool

Cons: loud

Overall Review: Yes, these fans are loud, but it tells you how loud they are in the specs so one should be aware how loud they are when they get them. I got these to replace three of my little brothers fans because they were going out, he doesn't mind noise because he wears headphones. None arrived broken or doa, they all work perfectly. Plus they come with molex adapters.

Does what it's supposed to

Pros: Does what it's supposed to, has good thermal tape, forged copper

Cons: none really

Overall Review: I liquid cool my msi GTX 760 ITX editions with a NZXT Kraken G10 that I cut in half and then machined so the VRAM chips were left exposed, these do a good job of helping to dissipate that heat.

G-SYNC is the best thing since sliced bread

Acer XB270H Abprz Black 27" 1ms (GTG) 144HZ Widescreen LED Backlight LCD G-SYNC Monitor, 300 cd/m2, USB Hub, 1000:1

Pros: No Tearing No stuttering Good height and angle adjustment

Cons: Not 1440p

Overall Review: This monitor rocks, worth every penny IMO My PC gets 9800 on firestrike on 3dmark and on the parts of the combined test where it would dip to 20fps it was still buttery smooth. Would've liked if it could do 1440p, $800 for a ROG SWIFT is too much. G-SYNC is one of the biggest leaps in graphics I've seen in a very long time.

Still works when you cut it in half

Pros: You can make this work as long as you can think hard enough to come up with a solution.

Cons: The design could be a little different to fit more cards

Overall Review: I have two msi GTX 760 ITX editions and they were a little too short so I cut them in half and only used the side that fastens the watercooler to my GPU's and sanded and rounded the edges of them so they looked nice and discarded the side that the fan goes on, my side panel fan blows on my card just fine, plus I have VGA heat sinks for the VRAM chips that aren't already covered by the watercooler. So if you have a card that is a mini version of the reference card, just know you can cut this in half and it will still work. I didn't dock an egg because I should have looked more into if my card would fit in these, especially since I have two cards, but I still got it to work. For those interested I used corsair H55s for both my msi GTX 760 ITX editions and my Core i7 4770k

After a year and a half it went defective

Pros: Good price for a 750W PSU, it's EVGA

Cons: It went defective after a year and a half

Overall Review: I bought this about 18 months ago and my computer was starting up weird and my computer would shut down at the exact same point in 3Dmark. I called up EVGA and he had me go to the bios to look at some numbers and it was defective, however, my computer does still work as long as I don't do anything too power intensive. EVGA is RMA'ing it and they're even sending it to me first so I can send it back. EVGA has awesome tech support and it is easy to RMA with them. I only docked an egg because it went bad after 18 months, but other than that they have been great with tech support and RMA'ing.

Great little card

Pros: Small Aesthetically pleasing

Cons: None

Overall Review: I have an Arctic Mono Accelero Plus aftermarket gpu cooler so for anybody wondering the holes where the heat sink screw in are the same as the reference card. I have a Haswell i7k and got 5800 on 3dmark, pretty darn good. It's almost a shame I have an aftermarket cooler (even though it lowers my gpu temp 20c). The stock cooler on this card looks great and is great for people with cases that have a windowed side panel. I also put the card in before I installed my cooler and the stock cooler is pretty quiet and does keep the card cool.
