3.5 Years without a single hitch
Pros: Relatively low power usage Overclocks to over 4GHz with ease Stellar performance for the price After 3.5 years it works as well as the first day i had it and it's been overclocked/overvolted the entire time (With a cooler master CPU cooler on it)
Cons: None
Pros: Runs all games (latest being Elder Scrolls V) maxed out with only an AMD x3 720 3.6ghz and 8GB G-Skill 1600mhz ram Stays very cool, never seen it go past 50c, and that was after 8+ hours straight of gaming. The heatsink design is effective, making it the best 6850 offering I've seen. (Mine is OC to 810mhz and 1095mhz memory, both of which can go a bit higher without a glitch)
Cons: Catalyst software that ATI uses has always been a little iffy to me, sometimes my 2nd display (HDMI) will disable itself if I close Catalyst software.
Pros: 500w continuous, not max Runs AMD x3 720 @3.6ghz with Radeon 6850, 1TB HDD, 1 CD/DVDRW, and 4 10" fans
Cons: -
Overall Review: I've heard the high pitched sounds once or twice short after installing but never again since.
