Sweet hearts
Pros: I must say I was skeptical about the price but I'm surprised at the beauty of the garnet stones they have a nice brown red almost ruby look and at a 1 carrot each my wife will love them for Christmas 😉
Cons: The earrings and backs were in bags separate from the gift box but I put them in the box to complete the presentation. No harm no foul just be careful not to loose the backs they are tiny...
Feel like an idiot
Pros: Looks cool
Cons: So I feel like an idiot I always read reviews but took a chance for a new fx 8300 build for myself for Christmas I clocked it up to 3.8 mgz booted up my machine temps were around 43c being new to the fx series I heard they run hot so I ran Aida64 ran up to 59c under load, before it got higher I stopped stress test turned it down to stock 3.3 MHz re-ran stress rest no difference. So I decided it must be the pre-applied thermal paste's is too thick I took system apart to replace thermal paste with Artic silver only to see one of the plastic corners broke! I read this in other reviews I feel like an idiot I know I was careful not to overtighten but it's broke wth! So I carefully glued the corner back put A.S. on re-mounted ran stress test @3.8 and got 37c under load. After unsuccessful attempts to have OC Genie run this won't even go to its turbo speed without crashing due to over heating I'm very disappointed I took a chance. MSI 970gaming board fx8300 16 gig Hyper X 1866 memory Xfx 7870 Eva 750 super nova power supply Zelman Z11 plus case lots of fans So there should be no reason why I can't see higher clock speeds I mean come on this is why I went with liquid cooling.
