Very fast

Intel Core i7-10700 - Core i7 10th Gen Comet Lake 8-Core 2.9 GHz LGA 1200 65W Intel UHD Graphics 630 Desktop CPU Processor - BX8070110700
Intel Core i7-10700 - Core i7 10th Gen Comet Lake 8-Core 2.9 GHz LGA 1200 65W Intel UHD Graphics 630 Desktop CPU Processor - BX8070110700

Pros: This CPU works great with the MSI gaming edge wifi motherboard and the G.Skill memory approved for the motherboard. The instructions were easy to follow and Windows 10 was easy to install, had to call Microsoft to activate. My old 2003 golf game still works in the new system!

Cons: No cons so far, running about 1 week now.

Overall Review: I would definitely recommend this product.

Works well

Update of Earlier Review

SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 3870 512MB GDDR4 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card 100225L

Pros: Since my review on 6/20/08, I installed the Zalman VF 1000 fan and heatsink unit. The card is much quieter, cooler and seems to be evan faster now. Evan on normal settings you can't hear the Zalman fan over the case fans.

Cons: None other than the cost of the Zalman VF 1000.

Overall Review: I am running a Thermaltake VX 4000 case with fans front and rear and one on the side. I have a Ga-x48-DQ6 Gigabyte motherboard with 4 Gig Gskill memory and a Q6600 Quad core CPU. I am running VISTA 32.

Works very well

Pros: Really keeps the Sapphire HD3870 much cooler than the stock fan and heatsink. It is much quieter evan in normal mode. It also has a Silent mode with evan less noise level.

Cons: It is a bit heavier than the original heatsink but really isn't a con though.

Overall Review: Running a Q6600 quad core CPU on a GA-x48-DQ6 Gigabyte motherboard in a Thermaltake VX4000 case. Using Vista Ultimate 32 bit SP 1 as an operating system. Also using 4 Gig Gskill 1066 memory.

Very Fast

Pros: The 1st card that I received from Newegg was defective and I had to send it back. Newegg sent out a new card as soon as they received the tracking number of the return. The 2nd card works very well and is very fast compared to a HD 2600 xt by Powercolor.

Cons: The only con that I have is that I can hear the fan over the other fans in my case because it runs at a slightly diferent pitch than the rest.

Overall Review: I am running a Thermaltake VX 4000 case with fans front and rear and one on the side. I have a Ga-x48-DQ6 Gigabyte motherboard with 4 Gig Gskill memory and a Q6600 Quad core processor. The OS is Vista 32 SP1.
