Whoa!!
Pros: Low power consumtion cod4 1680x1050 everything maxed and extra on all textures no aa getting steady 60fps locked at 60 btw
Cons: none
Overall Review: 10.5k in 3dmark06 with e2140 @ 3.2ghz and 3850 @ 750/2000 O_o THE best bang for ur buck setup period!
not impressed
Pros: Look nice and seem like high quality. nice that they come with rubber screws/mounts
Cons: Does not push much air... Im lost at how these are suppose to push 70+ seems on par with my cheap case fan that came with case.
broke r9 290
Pros: looks cool
Cons: The bracket is warped and bent by pcb and my r9 290 died after a month of use I never had problems with stock cooler it was just loud :( kind of sucks as I use corsair h100 and corsair 800w modular psu had corsair h60 with this on my 290 after this fiasco im done.
Overall Review: I've installed gpu coolers a 100 times built pc's hundreds of times for myself and others so it wasn't faulty install the bracket actually warps the board I didn't notice till after card had died and read up and then examined it installed.
Nice
Pros: Nice mobo has everything u need to get a e2140 to 3.2ghz :)
Cons: 4X second crossfire pcie slot but better then no crossfire :P
Not bad
Pros: Cheap and decent speed.
Cons: Does not oc at all lol i thought the other guy was a noob for not going over 410 on the core but i guess the r430 cores are just that bad...? i cant run mine at even 410 :P ram dont oc much either...
Overall Review: For the money you cant get better and hey you might get a better ocing core ;)
Nice
Pros: Nice cpu very cheap aswell this is my first intel build after building tons of amd rigs. The mobo i got to go along with this is not that great but still managed to hit 3.5ghz stable!
Cons: Can get warm but not real bad at all after a few hours of prime95 i only hit 47c with cpu at 3.5ghz. Uses alot of power.
Overall Review: Its nice to run mulitple apps without getting slow down. There is no reason not to buy this cpu and overclock it to 3.5ghz or above unless you just like waisting money??
