Pros: Silent I change fan speeds and i cannot hear it change speeds or at all at 100%, while litecoin mining with 75 degree ambient temps it is sitting at 55 degree C(fans only 62%) on a XFX 7970-TDFC Dual DVI Dual dissipation overclocked to 1000MHz Core. it is soo much cooler than the 75-80+C i would get with stock cooler. stock fans fail every month and have to keep RMA them i got tired of XFX and the fans so i bought this and all problems solved not only does it cool better but its silent. you cant beat that.

Cons: only con really is how long it took to install which was about 3-4 hours to do it RIGHT. I used Non conductive Arctic Silver Alumina thermal adhesive and it works very well. the included adhesive was pre mixed and already half dry, while I could have finished the install with it I messed up and followed the directions exactly which say to squeeze out entire contents with pliars, but what they dont tell you is this stuff hardens in a matter of 3-5 minutes so i barely got on 2-3 parts before it started to harden with 10+ more pieces needing install this was a problem, I started over scraped it all off and got the arctic silver and re did everything 1-2 pieces at a time. the card is 2-3 inches longer than before and takes up over 2 case expansion slots. two cards will be the max you fit on a 3 pci-e board. and in order to do that you need a Thermaltake armor series full atx mega tower to clear it, thankfully i have one ... your not getting this in a Antec 300/600/900 ... the included tape to block shorts fell apart and i could not even peel it off the paper and did not use any, I just made sure nothing touched and to my luck no smoke and flames when turning on the card.

Overall Review: I recommend putting out very little adhesive at a time and affixing 1-2 pieces at once and then put out more adhesive and take your time to give maximum clearance from all other devices. I cleaned all surfaces with Q tips and 90% alcohol and dried everything off, also cleaning heat sink surfaces for max bonding. I bought Akasa or asaka whatever brand adhesive thermal tape to affix the coolers to the voltage regulators because of how many electrical leads there are i put one long piece wide enough to cover both rows of V regs. everything else got thermal adhesive, the tape did not stick very well to the small devices. If you do the install correct and take your time this product cannot be beat anyone else complaining about install difficulty needs to understand this is just the mechanical/physical requirement to do this job correctly. if you cant install parts without shorting out the unit or fail to clean with alcohol very generously every single component than I am sorry for your failure in advance.

Pros: Allot og GHz for the money

Cons: I purchased this CPU with an ASUS motherboard and reliable kingston ram on 2/2013 and from day one I had issues installing windows, issues formatting hard drives, and after 20+ attempts and different hard drives I got windows installed but then it was unstable and got blue screens and freezes, and mass data corruption on all hard drives in the computer. I had since then had the motherboard RMA from ASus and the Ram RMA from Kingston as they are usually the most likely causes of these issues. After new Mobo and Ram, i still have problems instaling windows and system instability and due to the intermittent non total failure of the CPU I have been chasing this issue for two years. 5 hard drives later, new ram, new mobo, 10 sata cables later it finally seems that the issue is the memory controller within the CPU causing my instability and data corruption. I cannot explain the massive trauma and heart ache this issue has caused me and might lead to me spending the extra 200$ it would cost to build intel systems. I asked AMD to upgrade me to an 8350 for my massive list and time of issues with this unit and they wont do that for me even though I wasted the last two years messing with this bad CPU. I am very very unhappy with this problem, CPUs should never go or be bad, poor worksmanship I guess by AMD.

Overall Review: I may not buy AMD again because of this. I do not like that memory controllers are in the CPUS, they are always bulletproof otherwise.

Pros: I am happy with the quality of this unit, ASUS always has my vote for reliability and the best warranty in the market.

Cons: none

Pros: I only buyKkingston memory for the reliability and stability, its not worth headaches to cheap out on memory such an important part of the system

Cons: none not even price

Pros: -I have dropped this 5 times already and i cannot yet see any marks on it, still works as it should. -Almost every time I use it I feel like I just went to the dentist and had my teeth polished. -Has the neat UV sanitation feature I dont use daily but weekly should be fine -I like the feel of the product in my hand it reaches far and is very lightweight compared to my wifes Philips sonic care products

Cons: I have nothing bad to say about this purchase other than I should have done it sooner, i actually want to brush my teeth now !

Pros: Worked as expected, using APU to run Dual monitors no issues on ASUS mobo. twin monitors same model asus 23" units one dvi the other hdmi

Cons: None
