Very Good For The Price
Pros: The Heat Shields Are Nice Right Now I'm Running It At 900mhz With The Timings At 4-4-4-12 At 2.0v Very Stable Very Good I Plan On Buying 2 More 1gb Sticks
Cons: Non Yet
Overall Review: The Heat Shields Look Good
So Far So Good
Pros: Well It Runs All Of My Games Great And As For Everyone Saying How Loud It Is Are You Crazy It's Kinda Loud For About 3 Seconds At Boot Big Deal Complain About Something That's Worth Complaining About
Cons: Should Have Picked Up 2 At The Same Time To Save On Shipping
Overall Review: It Does Everything It's Supposed To Do I'm Very Happy With It And I can't Wait To Get The 2nd One So I Can Run SLi
Very Nice
Pros: The Heat Pipes Are Nice Runs Cool Nice Layout I Can Run My GSkill DDR2 800 5-5-5-15 At 4-4-4-12 At 900mhz And I OC'ed My PD 950 to 4.0ghz With No Problem At All Very Stable I Love It The Clear CMOS Button Is A Great Feature For Hardware Tweakers And OCers . . . Is Quad-Core Ready For Future Upgrades Good Number Of PCI Slots And You Can Still Run 4 IDE Devices You Can Tweak Almost Every Little Thing In The BIOS
Cons: The Only Thing So Far And I Can't Seem To Figure Out Why It Does This But When You Go To Shutdown On Windows It Shuts Down The OS But The Computer Doesn't Power Down ? ? ? Either Way No Biggy I Just Hit The Power Button I still Give It A 5
Overall Review: I Disabled DOT And SpeedStep Manual OCing Gives Much Much Better Performance
Nice Fast and Cool
Pros: Makes my games run much smoother and I can also burn two dvds at the same time with no problems at all. Runs very cool compared to my old P4 HT with a slight OC was running at 34c idle and 56c at full load this PD 950 is OCed from 3.4 to 3.8 and runs at 16c at idle and 34c at full load
Cons: None to do with the CPU I had to do 2 Bios Flash updates to run stable but hell that took a whole 2 minutes to do small price to pay for performance
Overall Review: I give it a 4 because nothing is perfect. But I really like it it does exactly what I thought it would do "Go Fast"
