not impressed

SilenX EFX-12-15 Effizio Quiet Case Fan
SilenX EFX-12-15 Effizio Quiet Case Fan

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

CORSAIR CB-9060001-WW HG10 A1 Edition GPU Cooling Bracket
CORSAIR CB-9060001-WW HG10 A1 Edition GPU Cooling Bracket

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

Not bad

PowerColor Radeon X800GTO 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Graphics Card X800GTO256MBDDR3
PowerColor Radeon X800GTO 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Graphics Card X800GTO256MBDDR3

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

Intel Pentium D 805 - Pentium D Smithfield Dual-Core 2.66 GHz LGA 775 95W Processor - BX80551PE2666FN
Intel Pentium D 805 - Pentium D Smithfield Dual-Core 2.66 GHz LGA 775 95W Processor - BX80551PE2666FN

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??
