Quiet and no lights

SeaSonic X Series X650 Gold (SS-650KM Active PFC F3) 650W ATX12V V2.3/EPS 12V V2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Full Modular Active PFC Power Supply New 4th Gen CPU Certified Hasw

Pros: It is quiet. No silly led's. The fan only runs when necessary and it supplies all the power I need. Packaging was supurb. Completely modular. Nice unit and better for the enviroment.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I built a high end PC with the I7 930 and 2 X Radeon 5770 video cards. I still haven't heard or seen the fan kick on. The PSU is obviously working, but it makes me nervous. I have to get used to this newer technology!

Great card

Pros: Looks great and is a great performer. No heat issues, in fact no issues at all.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I considered buying two of these cards but just one seems ample for everything I do. The performance is fantastic. I could not find this card on ASUS website to review updates. I had to access the updates through the Newegg manufacturers tab.

This is insane!

Pros: Super fast! The Dark Knight keeps the temps at 31C in idle and 43C at load. It can handle whatever you throw at it.

Cons: None. The price is right for a chip that performs at this level.

Overall Review: I finally made the switch from AMD to Intel. I was running an AMD 6400 X2 and thought it was zippy. Was I mistaken! I considered buying the Phenom 4 965, I am glad I didn't.

FAST

Pros: It is very fast. Easy installation and great support. Big enough for most users. A great upgrade. Windows 7 loads in under 40 seconds.

Cons: Bracket not included. They are expensive.

Overall Review: I am not seeing the speeds others are getting. I have only been able to get 170 m/s out of it so far. It gave me a 7.1 in the windows performance rating.

It has everything!

Pros: Inexpensive, looks great. Fits the dark knight. Great features for the money.

Cons: Metal is a little thin. The case becomes more rigid after all your components are installed, but the thin metal is a bit noisy.
