does the job!
Pros: replaced a h-80 cooler which made the dreaded grinding noise. fairly easy to install and keeps the temps in the same range as the h-80.Best thing is it's quiet even under load. Idle temps on a overclocked 3570k are 28c to 31c. Under prime95 blend 69c to 73c(one hour run) you don't have to worry about tall ram heatsinks as the cooler does not interfere with it. fits in my matx case(silverstone fortress) on a maximus v gene mobo.
Cons: a little expensive.
Overall Review: the fan has two settings quiet and preformance.the pro setting can be a little loud but,not bad.In quiet you can barely hear it and the temps are good.(temps above are in quiet mode)
THIS CASE IS SWEEEEET!!
Pros: Built my gaming rig in this case: 3570k asus maximus gene v 16gb gskill 2133 ram Silverstone Heligon cooler intel 120gb ssd evga 680ftw 2gb(soon to be sli) silverstone 850 gold power sply. 1tb western dig caviar black(for hot swap port) I managed to squeeze all of this in this case and there is still room for another 680!! Have two pwm 80mm fans at bottom and a120 at top.Airflow in the case is great and temps stay reasonable even under stress. Cable management is a bit tricky but,if you take your time it 's not that bad. Titanium color looks nice. Looks like the little robot dudes from the reboot series
Cons: headphone-usb3 header is kind of cheap.Usb is loose and headphone jack pops back out when you plug it in(too tight). still going to give it 5 eggs though.
great ram!!
Pros: Bought this for a asus maximus v gene build and could not be happier with the performance.Set up was a snap in the bios and had it running at 2133oc with a simple xmp profile setup.
Cons: none.
nice card!
Pros: nice overclock out of the box. windforce cooler works well. looks good(copper heatpipes) vrm heatsinks. nice overclock out of the box.
Cons: none.
Overall Review: card works great,no problems with it at all. Easily overclocks to the original soc speeds of 1ghz.
