what i did

Pros: I have the 555 BE model ,originally i unlocked that to 4 core and it ran at 3.6 flawlessly for many months. I then got a 975 BE so this one went into mothballs. My Gf's kid needed a new Computer so i threw this in a Asrock AOD790GX\128M M\B with 2 4850 Gpu in Xfire and 4 gig of ddr2 1066 mem.it dosnt have coreunlocker so i just O\ced it and i got it to 4.75 O\C with a sunbeam corecontact 120 MM cooler .
Cons: the chip i used is the model just below this one, so in dual core im guessing you could reach 4.2 O\C, in 4 core your gonna hit 3.6 mabye 3.8 but thats great for the price. remember HT\NB voltage at anout 1.3 and 2600 to keep solid O\C . Support AMD it will pay off in savings and keep those Intel fan boys in check.
Overall Review: no one wants to pay the price that Intel would charge if AMD went away
Man did I get fooled.

Pros: This card has good bones but!
Cons: QC at the Factory! Heatsync lose from factory HI temps. I just found out from youtube. I put my pc on its side and temps went dowm 10 degrees.
Overall Review: This Is Quite a Good piece of hard wear. Thats why I bought it. I just Retired this was going to be MY BIG Retirement gift to Myself. But your Lousy Quality Control Failed and every one who touched these before they left the sweat shop, I mean factory. Send me the factory authorised fix kit, Im really disgusted. I normaslly buy Gigabyte
Photons Good/Phade II

Pros: Sturdy Frame Looks Plastic, Actually Matt finish, is an Atomized Tungstun / Irridium Bronze Shielding Mist Polished with Graphene Lense Outercasing 1 Atom thick.( 50 % More reflective then Gold treated lenses ) Unique, You Betcha! Necessary Not really , But Say, look at that Price! Cost to produce , well thats Classafied. I think It just winked at you!/ First one fizzled out 6 months like magic! 30 day no replacement, No Nothing1.Talled at length to the CismisEgg C/S. Nada! You have to go through MFG warranty. OK. I did. Easy to contact and sent RMA quickly. Got email today that its been fixed at aurhorized Repair shop and being returned. I bought a second one like an hour after it died. I really DO LOVE THIS Monitor Im Older fellow so all those Pixles help and lots of Canvas to do stuff on.
Cons: Mounting Headachs Galoor! Sank 4- 3 Ft Copper rods .5 " thick On Each Foot Print Of Particle Beam Weapon, Er Gaming Monitor. Sat With Back Against Main Support Pillar and All Windows Blacked Out with .5 mil Thick Garbage bags To Prevent I Know its Just temp/perm till Cobalt Shielding arrives in the spring.
Overall Review: This Is more Like looking through some kind of telescope, I can See My own thoughts, Not Clearly of course , Obscured by Clouds as it were. Highly Recommend This Samsung product For Asteroid Mining/ and Stasis collection Point mitigation and reclamation Which seems to be the way of things these days. Great Price For ALL that Power Is the World ready for this? I know I am.Part II/ Its Very Good Monitor and when the first one that did fail when its returned fixed, Ill have one for my Son ! So I forgive you for technological foible. Its Big Its Fast and for Big Like SDtrategy or action games its flawless most of the time.
Gigabyte Has Not Let Us Down.

Pros: This is How You Should Build an SSD chip. It is completely incased in Irridium/Bronze Heat Shielding. It was actually cool when I unboxed it, was clearly cooler than ambient room temp.
Cons: The First type SSD I had to affix My own cooling solution As it sat directly below my GPU, its a GTX 1080 so it dumps copious amounts of Heat ,and the Motherboards Own heat. But I can tell you as long as the air is moving ,it keeps this cool. I use monitoring tools in MSI afterburner which you can tweak, alot.
Overall Review: Best SSD I have EVER seen. Its sign that Gigabyte is in it to Make a difference.This Is Really a Great SSD. I buy alot of Gigabyte Stuff. Aros Elite Sifi x570, gtx 1080 gaming gpu,this SSD,. Thats Just This Ryzen Build I am Unasshamedly an AMD Fanboy, since 1998 ! This will be my next obsession all my storage using Gigabyte SSD's.
to the yo-yo who compared it to corsair h100

Pros: this is by far the Best CPU cooler i ever used.
Cons: My con is that your upset because a passive fan cooler is only 2 c lower than a Corsair H100 water block cooler. My friend you will never find that day when your H20 cooler dried up and fried your expensive cpu,because this cooler will work at this Hi level for many years with out fail. No internal Liquid to evaporate,Ever. I had 2 CPU's fry because a Corsair and a lepher H20 coolers did just that.
Overall Review: you dont get what this thing is made for, you invest one time and it works for years flawlessly. Think your going to get - 100 K with a passive cooler, Nope. but protect your CPU for easily a decade, if you chose to keep it that long, this is your Boy. I have one of these before I found this the other Best Cpu cooler I used was the Sunbean core contact. But Install Remove that was just terrible. This is the top of line of coolers.
BUY it

Pros: Great M\B Loaded for the Price. Great VRM set up Great Power Delivery
Cons: this is not a New Porsche 911 that im purchasing!
Overall Review: They make good stuff and have proven track record for O\K and good quality components.
