Great but HUGE heat sink
Pros: Keeps my pc extremely cool. Probably the best cooling system for your budget around. Very cheap and efficient. My current cpu idles at 9 degrees which is amazing. 30-40 degrees at full load.
Cons: This thing is HUGE!!! Make sure you got planet of room in your case. Also this can be a bit of a pain to install which is why I only gave it 4 eggs.
Overall Review: Would def recommend this to anyone looking for a great cost effective cooling solution.
two defective motherboards in a row
Pros: great mother board when it works.
Cons: I had really high hopes for this motherboard as it has a ton of good reviews and also the customer choice award. However, the first one I received died in three days of getting it. The board wouldn't post. I sent it to new egg for an rma and it was processed. Now 4 months later I'm getting the same issue. I've sent it back to gigabyte but I'm told it could take up to 4 weeks to process. So my main computer is down for at least a month and judging from the reviews of dealing with customer service I'm not to sure I'll be pleased when the board finally comes back. I will never by this brand again. I think next one I buy will be asus or msi. What a waste of time.
Fantastic!!!
Pros: Just bought this with the GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 motherboard and MAN what a match made in heaven. I ditched the stock heat sink and I'm running it with Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO. It's sitting a 9c when idle and only gets to about 30c when worked a little bit. It's blazing fast. It's exactly what you'd expect.
Cons: None so far
