Pros: Upgraded from a 6400+ BE. Runs much cooler & doesn't use as much wattage (18C idle/24C load . A marked improvement in overall computing. The price is very reasonable, (whether on a AM2 or AM2+). Games play much smoother & look a little better, especially UT3. It's quite difficult to overload this CPU. I have 4 instances of Orthos-Prime running CPU Stress/Small FFTs/Priority 9 & there's ZERO slowdown or choppyness; while typing this review, defragging my HD, listening to iTunes & watching a DVD...

Cons: Came with a cheesy HS, (but not an issue since I'm on water). My first take on the power consumption of these quads was disappointing. However, my guess is that they need more power since they are a "True" quad-core? My main reason for getting this CPU was because of it's rated 95W consumption versus my 6400+ 125W. I lost about 1,000 3DMark2006 points with this CPU.

Overall Review: Overall I'm happy with the CPU. It made my little frag-box "that much better". System Specs: Phenom 9550 (Swiftech H20 120)___GigaByte MA78GM-S2H (BIOS F2/Thermaltake NB HS)___4GB OCZ Reaper DDR1066 UnGanged (1072MHz @ 2.1v-5-7-7-20-2T)___EVGA 8800GTS 512MB (700MHz/1000MHz/1748MHz)___Seagate Barracuda 250GB (32MB cache)___Mushkin 580W PSU___Apevia Q-Pack 2 Case___Windows Vista x64 SP1 (5.8 Rating)___3DMark2006 @ 10,530

Pros: I've had this version for a few months. I like the way it plays & behaves on XP, Vista or Win7. Probably the most solid suite of card games which feature Pinochle, Spades, Bridge etc...

Cons: The graphics are archaic. The resolution is locked to like 800x600. Hoyle (Encore or Navarre Ent.) have really got their head's up their whazzoos. Each year they put out a "new" version of their infamous Card Games series and each year it shows absoluetely ZERO visual improvement. In fact it actually degrades. I downloaded version 2010 thinking it would be "better". It was actually worse than 2008.

Overall Review: Shame on you people for regurgitating the same piece of donkey doodle over & over. I feel as though this 2008 version plays & behaves better than newer versions. If you are into playing various card games (which it does include just about all of them) then this is the best one to get. It's honestly not worth paying the $20+ for the download off their Website. Just buy the disc from tha' Egg.

Pros: great performance for the price. felt confident by all the hype online. it looks the best out of all 9070 XTs, with lot's of attention to aesthetic detail. however,

Cons: it has significant and audible coil whine; during gaming and CPU/Memory intensive works loads. i tried playing with v-sync, 50mv undervolt & multiple different platinum/titanium rated PSUs. not sure what else to do or should even have to for an item of this *premium flagship* caliber. ATi/Radeon cards have always been notorious culprits of coil whine in my experience, since the days of AGP (pre-PCIexpress).

Overall Review: inititiated a return. {{UPDATE}} I recieved a brand new replacement within 5 days! NewEgg has always treated me well (for the past 18 years) which is why i continue to make any & all of my major PC & electronic purchases through them, if at all possible. As far as the replacement card, it still whines; but less than the previous one (and far less than me). bumped to 4/5 stars NewEgg Service 10/5 stars ♥

Pros: So very grateful that Super Flower has been thoughtful to offer these for their existing customers. I have 3 Leadex Titaniums (850/1000/1600) & an EVGA SuperNova 1600 P2 [which is a Super Flower Platinum SE rebranded]. I reached out to Super Flower for verification about the EVGA SuperNova 1600 P2, via NewEgg's messager and received a positive confirmation within the same business day. The length of ribbon works great in my 2 use cases HAVN Flow 360 (9070 XT NiTRO+) & Thermaltake TG Pro (3090 Ti Ultra FTW).

Cons: i think it ought to be mentioned that this cable is rather thin & unclothed in a 3rd layer of shielding. so they are susceptible to sharp edges and pressure. therefore, this cable is not going to stop or prevent any system damage from occuring due to misuse, abuse or carelessness. Super Flower clearly stipluates as to NOT bend the wires up to 35mm past the 12VHPWR on the GPU side. The Sapphire 9070 XT NiTRO+ is unique in design & thus i've since added some foam padding along the edge for added protection [see pics].

Overall Review: All in all, I bought 4 of these; one for each of their PSUs i own. They definatley tidy things up & provide some added peace of mind in departing from the 3 headed adapter.

Pros: it's functional but . . .

Cons: -gonna have to recharge battery every so often...meaning downtime. -it dribbles residual soap after every use.

Overall Review: if it didn't dribble soap, i would keep using it. but it's messy & a waste since this foam soap ain't cheap. i just went back to the manual pump.

Pros: looks & performs great. comes with 6 aRGB fans & hub/splitter. it's quite a steal @ this current pricepoint.

Cons: does not come with LGA 1700 / AM5 mounting so you'd have to procure those seperately.

Overall Review: i always wanted this unit but due to it's MSRP cost : performance i opted for others. however at this very moment in time, it's quite the bargain for what you get.
