Good product, terrible instructions
Pros: Works great. Looks good. Great price.
Cons: Instructions could be way better. It sucked in my case because the window where my motherboard sits wasnt big enough to fit the bracket. So i had to take my entire mobo off. (could be just me) then the bracket sits extremely loose on the mobo, (too which many people now say is alright) Would be great if they mentioned that.
Overall Review: Not a bad cooler at all for the proce. I have a 4770(non k) and it dropped the temp easily 6-8 C degrees at stock. At load its super cool. I havent done a crazy amoutn of testing on it at heavy load, but enough to know its cool.
EH, wouldnt buy again
Pros: no many
Cons: mine maybe gets 300 mb/s after less than 8 months of useage, barely used other than OS installation and a game. PNY tech support is useless in help and wont give me a time for my return. For someone who uses my computer daily for work and school having down time of 2+ weeks is completely unacceptable for me and PNY not offering to do anything to help me in my mind a terrible customer support decision on their part. I will say i bought a Samsung EVO and will only buy those from now on. As of 3 months it still out performs what is was rated for
Overall Review: Like stated in cons, i would not buy this product because PNY barely stands buy it. You would be better off buying anything else.
Would buy
Pros: Super fast, mine is about 5-10% faster than what rated for, upwards of 570 read and 540 write. Random IOPs are also a good deal higher
Cons: price?
Overall Review: Absolutely love this SSD, wish i bought this one originally. Would buy another one in a heart beat.
Great RAM
Pros: Great RAM, I got mine for a great price, so it was hard to pass up. XMP profile worked perfectly and running at 2133 mhz
Cons: None so far, I am completely happy
Great CPU
Pros: Great CPU, super fast, and can handle literally everything. Great "Entry" CPU **see other thoughts
Cons: Dumb that you have to pay extra for the unlocked CPUs, heat sink isn't that great. For what you pay, you would think they would come up with a better heatsink/fan combo
Overall Review: Great CPU for those who wanna do casual gaming, and anything CPU dependent. I say it makes a good "entry" CPU because if you dont plan on overclocking, and just want the virtualization support, and the hyper threading then this is the CPU for you
HAF 922
Pros: Amazing Case, keeps everything cool and (albeit a bit large) has room for anything.
Cons: Not really a con as I knew it was gonna be a little big, but this is a large mid tower, again, not really a con, but the usb 3.0 connector for the front 2 ports doesn't fit securely into my MB, but it does stay and I can't see someone playing with wires everyday, but I would consider things to know before you buy. Only real CON is that if you want to switch the front fan so that it pushes are out of the case, (instead it comes pulling air in) you have to disassemble essentially the front of the case to do that. Just a pain that its buried in there
Overall Review: I haven't pushed this case to its cooling potential, and will when my graphics card and 2 other fans i purchased come in soon. I have no doubt this thing will have no problem keeping up with the heat. Great case for the price.
