Pros: core i3 530 OCd to 3.8ghz, runs max 58* playing BC2 maxed out. stock cooler automatically shot up to 100* on almost any OC setting. Idle temp dropped 5-10*. Came with Zalman thermal paste apparently great reviews.
Cons: manual says to apply the ENTIRE tube of thermal paste they provide???? um no
Failed after a month
Pros: worked
Cons: failed after a month of use in a cell phone
Overall Review: Beware some the sdXc/class10 will not work with some adapters.
Works
Pros: What can I say, has worked for the last year. Painless install.
Cons: None, or It has been so long i forgot
Pros: Works, seems faster than my year old 500wd Black, maybe its just cause my OS is on the WD.
Cons: Doesnt have flames painted on it. I dont have enough sata cables to add more...
Pros: getting a flat 60 fps in BC2 on high with 16x everything. fits in my cheapo rc310!
Cons: Somebody had already opened the gtx box. The tape on the antistatic/faraday bag had been 'moved' or shifted. The bags function 'best' when sealed, is it that much trouble to not hand tear the tape for it? really hope I do not get a latent failure due to this, although really me installing it probably was more static than it had seen previously in its life.
Overall Review: fans hum along, i think the noise is mainly the air moving through the heatsink, louder at idle than my 4850.
Pros: Looks amazing, wide viewing angle. LED for a great price, uses very little power.
Cons: The first one I purchased had a faulty power plug. Returned got a new one, not all the LEDs turned on immediately, magically worked later.
Overall Review: buttons are on bottom and difficult to use, and not the best feel. Although I prefer the cleaner look this affords. be careful not to damage the power socket, and make it wobbly.
