Pros: Great CPU, excellent for over clocking, very stable, no freeze ups as of yet and it has been a year and a half.

Cons: Not all CPUs are made the same and in my case mine requires heavy voltage to reach clocks others can do at a lower voltage setting. Not a huge issue but I did require water cooling in order to reach clocks others could reach on air. Not a huge issue, with water cooling I can now truly unlock my CPUs potential.

Overall Review: Pricey but well worth the money. You get what you pay for and with this is no exception. I have no doubts about this CPU. Even today I would go for this over an i7 920 or anything below the i7 975.
