Pros: Works well. Installed quickly. Stable.

Cons: If you are expecting for speed boosts, there's not much improvement. Timewarner is capped at it's service plan. My service probably only improved about 200kbps (from ~5600kbps to 5800kbps)

Overall Review: Must call for activation. Netgear router (WGT624) was quite a hassle to solve and to get to work with this modem.

Pros: quiet, solid cooler! keeps my phenom II 940 @ 3.8ghz nice and cool. especially in this summer heat.

Cons: not exactly a con, but i wonder if it would do better with a finished base...and it's pretty big...okay it's very big. do some measurements in your case etc before purchasing. it may block ram slots in AMD motherboards. i just moved the fan up a bit though and it was fine.

Overall Review: everyone gets different numbers, even then reviewers. do your research before purchasing a good cooler! this is definitely bank for buck! considering it runs almost as well as the more expensive coolers. also gives you everything you need in the box.

Pros: hit 3.8ghz right out the box, but not with stock cooler. i set the multiplier to auto, 1.52v, and changed the bus speed to 254. left cool n' quiet and it works perfectly!

Cons: it's not an core i7.

Overall Review: using the gigabyte 790x ud4p 2gb corsair ddr2 800 ram (upgrading to 4 or 8gb ddr2 1066 later) zerotherm zen 120mm cooler.

Pros: excellent overclockability! pushed my phenom II 940 to 3.8 without any problems. AND with Cool n' Quiet on... stays cool as my CPU, sometimes a bit higher, but nothing outrageous. plus it's the summertime where everyday is 105+°F degrees here. without the airconditioning on, it runs average of 40°C. i upgraded from a X2 4600+ 90nm. and this definitely made a difference.

Cons: I wish they'd make it SLI compatible.

Overall Review: tomshardware claimed it was impossible to overclock the phenom II 940 @ 3.8ghz w/ cool n' quiet on. they way i did it was just change the bus speed to 254 and leaving the multiplier on auto. also changed the voltage to 1.52v. everything ran perfect for me. using a zerotherm zen heatsinfan. the highest i've seen it hit was 54°C at 3.8ghz, averages around 45°C. at stock 3.0ghz. highest @ 46°C, average 40°C. with cool n' quiet activated and idled, 36°C or lower! NICE!
