Most Critical Review

Doesn't fit?

ARCTIC COOLING A7P-75000023 92mm CPU Cooler
ARCTIC COOLING A7P-75000023 92mm CPU Cooler

Pros: N/A

Cons: Had an old machine lying around (LGA775), Consulted the specification sheet found here. (http://www.arctic.ac/us_en/downloads/dl/file/id/241/alpine_7_pro_spec_sheet_english.pdf) Simply doesn't fit in my mobo.

Mediocre

ZALMAN CNPS10X OPTIMA 120mm FSB (Fluid Shield Bearing) Shark's Fin Blade CPU Cooler (LGA 2011 version)
ZALMAN CNPS10X OPTIMA 120mm FSB (Fluid Shield Bearing) Shark's Fin Blade CPU Cooler (LGA 2011 version)

Pros: Generally works

Cons: Fan is of not so great quality. I tested it outside my PC and I can produce annoying very quiet clicky sounds at a mere 60-120 rpm. These very quiet sounds manifest as much louder annoying sounds at the actual full rate of the fan. I am disappointed in Zalman as their products are normally pretty good.

Very Functional Card

Galaxy 65IGH8DL7AXX GeForce GTX 650 Ti GC 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card

Pros: Cheap also sold the "$75 dollar game coupon". This card is tiny, which was a plus for my mITX build. Runs all games I've tried smoothly on high settings.

Cons: None. Perhaps they could provide a single slot bracket since the card is small but that's about it.
