Nice Machine

Pros: Always considered buying a laptop. This ones Price Point Sold me. I have had no problems yet. Runs Fast Finds all my networks. Handles MMORPG without any Problems. The Display is picture perfect. If your in the market for a good laptop, tak a look at this one.
Cons: None as of yet.
Overall Review: Not a big fan of Vista, Takes up 45% of my 2 gigs. But I guess I can Live with it.
It was nice, then it wasn't

Pros: It looked nice, was easy to install, kept things cool, until it didn't
Cons: Stopped working in about 18 mos.
Overall Review: I bought this to cooler when replacing CPU/MOBO form a cheaper AIO that leaked and toasted my system. Was really happy, kept my processor sitting at 37c, maybe 50 at load. I don't overclock or do anything nuts so these numbers were fine. Fast Forward 18 mos, started hearing a clicking sound from my system, sounded like a wire was hitting a fan, then one day I was loading Tropico 6, and my system shut down. Booted back up and checked temp, CPU was sitting at 95c, just from loading Tropico. Checked all my fans and cleaned the system up, Still hitting 90c at Idle. I took this cooler out, it was almost dry, very little liquid left in the closed system, no signs of where it went, its just gone...... I'm down with AIOs, went back to fans and Heat Syncs, hopefully things will be better now.
Easy and Effective

Pros: Unbelievably Easy install, beautiful packaging, clear instructions, Nice Thermal Compound with a lot of extra. They also included mounting Hardware for a second fan should I desire to add one, we will see if that becomes necessary. The color may be a bit odd, but it's tolerable.
Cons: None yet, I hope I don't have to list any.
Overall Review: I see a lot of people saying that this cooler was expensive, I had never used Noctua before, but they were recommended to me after my MSI AIO ran dry. You pay higher for quality, and so far everything about this product has been high quality. Good materials, Excellent packaging, clear instructions, they even give you a bloomin screwdriver. This cooler just screams high quality, in a odd brown kind of way. The install took about 15 minutes top. I went from a run dry AIO cooking my processor at a balmy 90c, to sitting at 42c Idle, and just brushing with 70c under load. I don't overclock or anything so 1 fan seems to be working for me, Noctua gave me all the mounting hardware for a second fan should I ever decide add one. After 2 AIOs crapping out, I think I found a new home with traditional Air/Heatsink Cooling.
