fan works great
Pros: bought fan in 2005 and is still working
Cons: none
Overall Review: bought three of these and customized the bracket. Installed three controllers into one. Just love that the fans still work today. 7 years later
should not be called i7
Pros: very fast cpu. 6 cores, 15MB cache
Cons: 1) Not 40 lanes. Wish newegg and intel would tell you on website. Didn't find out till I read my motherboard book, took me a while to find info on the cpu on the internet. This CPU is only a 28 lane processor. If I would have known that and spent more time researching I would have bought the 5930K. Because of this I cant run my two GPU's at full 16x I have to run them at 8x. 2) The way the pins are not on the CPU anymore. What a dumb idea it is to put the microscopic pins on the motherboard. A lot of people who don't know what they are doing damage the pins. This has to be an INTEL spec not the MB. It has been a long time since I have built a computer, I remember when they had the ZIF style chips, what happened to those styles. I never had problems with them.
Overall Review: CPU works like its suppose to, just didn't like the lack of advertising of the 28 lanes. Also the lack of pins on cpu suck too. I give it 2 stars because of the only 28 lanes instead of 40.
Pros: Cheap cable
Cons: this cable is not sold anymore, bummer.
Overall Review: cable was cheap and works great
Great Cards
Pros: Cards work just like it is suppose to. No problems.
Cons: none
