Pros: -Very quiet -Decent cooling -Easy to install/uninstall -Lightweight

Cons: -Covers most, but not all of the processor -Could be cooler

Overall Review: At 35-38c idle and 70-75c during most games, it's only marginally cooler than my stock, but the temperature wasn't the reason that one needed replacing, it was the noise. This one did a great job at resolving that problem. At it's absolute loudest, it's akin to the distant whir of the freeway on a cold morning. Good longevity, too. It performed great for the 11 months or so before I decided to upgrade to a colder cooler (also from Zalman; these guys are my go-to).

Pros: -Whisper quiet -Cool -Efficient -Can handle just about anything from the previous console generation at mid-high settings

Cons: -Starting to get outdated

Overall Review: Had this card since I built this PC in late 2013, hasn't failed me once. Even though the tech is showing its age, it can still keep up with later games fairly well if you lower the settings a bit. If you're making a battlestation, you may wish to look elsewhere, but this thing can't be beat for a budget build.
