GREAT APU

Pros: FAST, Nice integrated graphics, CHEAP. overclocked up to 4.3 with no problems at all. for the price this is pretty much unbeatable. got my second one on sale this week to put in my next build.

Cons: none.

Most Critical Review

Decent card but noisy

Galaxy 61TGS4HX2LTX GeForce GT 610 GC 1GB 64-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready  Video Card
Galaxy 61TGS4HX2LTX GeForce GT 610 GC 1GB 64-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card

Pros: Bought it, honestly, because it had a blue fan and an HDMI input.

Cons: very noisy but i guess since it actually works then it deserves at least 3 eggs. the fan on this card is louder than the 2 case fans, and the CPU fan combined.

Overall Review: looks nice, sounds bad

good card when it worked

Pros: was great for the price and the benchmark scores were exceptionally high per dollar

Cons: stopped working after about 6 months just decided to conk out.

Just a heads up

AMD A8-3850 - A-Series APU (CPU + GPU) Llano Quad-Core 2.9 GHz Socket FM1 100W AMD Radeon HD 6550D Desktop APU with DirectX 11 Graphic - AD3850WNZ43GX

Pros: I love these a series apu's. just cant beat the price for the performance you get.

Cons: Didnt come with a heatsink? just a processor shrink-wrapped in antistatic plastic dropped into a shipping box

Overall Review: only not rating 5 stars because there was no heatsink. as luck would have it i ordered a different heatsink anyways but it will not be arriving for several days, had planned to use the oem heatsink until it arrived to get everything setup, looks like im waiting a few more days to get this beast running :(

Controller is VERY cool, decent fan

Pros: Blue color, controller module, nice looking cord instead of bare cords it was sleeved.

Cons: not as quiet as i would have liked, even at the lowest setting but other than that no cons imo

Overall Review: The blue LED's matched my case very nicely and the control knob is just too cool not to put in, even if it really wasn't needed in my build. turned out very nicely! id recommend to anyone.

Nice, CHEAP 3.0 card

Pros: CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP. Installed easily. others who had problems obviously need to learn to follow directions.

Cons: none

Overall Review: The disc was outdated but that is generally the case. easily found applicable drivers from website on documentation and installed correctly first time. great way to get 3.0 on my custom build.
