Pros: this is a very nice, energy efficient, 65nm dual-core from AMD. i have been an AMD fan ever since the single-core 2400+ this is awesome with a zalman CNPS9500 keeps bellow 30C under full load.

Cons: none, maaaaaaaayyybbbe a 512k x2 cache is a little bit low, BUT, most AMD processors don't rely on cache like intels do.

Overall Review: amd 5400+ x2, zalman CNPS9500, biostar Tforce tf570 SLi, 2gb ocz platinum revision 800MHz, HD 3850 from GeCube. everything costed me bellow $800 and i can play Gears of War maxed out.

Pros: awesome air venting. looks cool and not too bright. i don't know how one guy said you can bend it because i accidentally sat on it (i'm 275 lb) and it didn't bend.

Cons: only came with 1 case fan... BUT SO WHAT?

Overall Review: i have a 5400+ brisbane with a 3850. none of the components ever got above 50C. by the way, if you are pondering if this is going to fit a big cpu fan, i'm sure that it can because i have a zalman CNPS9500 fitting perfectly.

Pros: awesome card, i bought it for 169-20 MIR for 150 in total. it is an awesome card, i have not been getting heat problems at all! haven't tried to overclock but i don't think i need to for now.

Cons: none that i can think of.

Overall Review: amd 5400+ x2 brisbene 65nm, Zalman CNPS9500 AM2 edition, biostar TForce TF570 SLi, 2GB OCZ 800MHz platinum revision, Gecube HD 3850.

Pros: i used a temperature monitoring program and i got arround 11C for the first core and -6C for the second core. amazing, specially with arcticsilver 5 thermal compound. if you put a little bit of compound in the middle of the cpu and and smeare it around with the fan until it's equal.

Cons: very hard installation

Overall Review: amd athlon x2 5400+ brisbane 65nm, 2GB OCZ 800MHz platinum revision, Biostar TF570 SLi, GeCube HD 3850 256mb GDDR3, CoolerMaster eXtreme power 600w, and CoolerMaster 330 elite case.
