Pros: Runs up to 2133mhz at 8-8-7-24-1N on Asus P6X58d-E (1.525 vtt voltage) Runs up to 2000mhz at 8-8-7-24-1N on Gigabyte X58A-UD3R (1.6 vtt voltage) Runs perfectly at 1866mhz at 7-7-6-20-1N on Asus P6X58d-E (1.325 vtt voltage) Runs perfectly at 1800mhz at 7-7-6-20-1N on Gigabyte X58A-UD3R (1.355 vtt voltage) Runs perfectly at 1600mhz at 6-6-5-18-1N on Asus P6X58d-E (1.3 vtt voltage) Runs perfectly at 1520mhz at 6-6-5-18-1N on Gigabyte X58A-UD3R (1.335 vtt voltage) - all of the above at 1.66 vmem in bios (these boards don't have a 1.65 setting, but actually measurements show that 1.66 is really 1.65 anyway).

Cons: Requires a processor with a strong uncore / memory controller and may have issues with tighter Gigabyte Memory timing defaults. Not all core i7 920's and 930's can handle the high speeds and tight timings; better binned chips will do better and you might want to pick up a Xeon (w3520 or w3530) to make sure you've got a better binned chip.

Overall Review: Some people (like N/A below) will blame the ram when it's really the CPU holding the memory back. This is NOT Mushkin's fault. You can verify the issue by using memtest86+. In cases where the RAM passes without error, but you have problems in Windows, it's probably the CPU's uncore/memory controller, not the memory. However, Mushkin should not be advising VTT's above 1.6 without being sure users have superior cooling. That's like setting vcore above 1.5 without excellent cooling. That part is Mushkin's fault (but not the RAM's fault). To be clear though: Mushkin is definitely NOT less reliable than Corsair or any other brand. People need to realize that their 1 bad experience (like a data set with a "n of 1") is not enough to make statements like this.

Pros: You might get a working GTX 470 for a good price.

Cons: Not thoroughly tested - overheating, artifacting and freezing at default settings - all in a well ventilated case. I don't think this one should have been recertified. I compared directly to a working EVGA GTX 470 - the PNY hit 93C in just 2 minutes at load where the EVGA maxed at 84.

Overall Review: There's a reason why these were returned. NOT all reference GTX 470's are equal...

Pros: Easy upgrade from an eVGA GTX 570. Quieter, Cooler, and much faster all around. Also, it's just a bit shorter than the GTX 570, so no worries about fitting. Set clocks for 1000/1500 at stock voltage out of the box. Discounted to $300 (with rebate) and including the free games bundle, this is a great deal.

Cons: The cooling hardware is a little flimsy. But unless you are planning to move this card around, this won't be an issue.

Pros: I upgraded from a P6X58D-E to get a better PCIex layout for SLI. Like a lot of X58 boards, the P6X58 series require putting GPU's right next to each other for dual 16x action. This one let's you space them out quite nicely by leaving the middle slot empty. Drop of 8C under load for my top card, which can now breathe. Even the bottom card is about 4C less with most space to work in. That matters for reference GTX 470's. Not to mention that more space equals lower fan speeds and less noise (the fans have to work harder when the air space below them is limited).

Cons: none

Overall Review: Very satisfying overclock - no trouble at 216 bclk on air with very reasonable voltages. Never could get there with temps/voltages I liked on the P6X58D-E. I imagine this rampage is on part with it's big brother (extreme version) in this department.

Pros: This 23-inch glossy/glare-type screen is the richest and sharpest LCD Monitor I've seen to date. Better even than new LED screens viewed side by side. Somewhat less glare than other glare-type competitors (Acer P235Hbmid, HP 2159m) Absolutely DOES have HDMI and headphone jack for HDMI audio.

Cons: Flimsy stand About $20 too expensive.

Overall Review: I'm very sensitive to color quality and text clarity. Absolutely NO anti-glare screen can keep up with this thing. Really makes me wonder why anti-glare monitors outnumber glare-type monitors by about 20 to 1. There HAVE to be more than 1 in 20 people who will prefer this. They just don't know because they haven't seen it.

Pros: 67C at full load (vs 82C for the reference) Excellent 5850 performance at stock

Cons: Fan runs at higher RPM's than the reference design by default, pretty negating any gains in the "quiet" dept. Poor overclocking result (825/1125 max for mine) No voltage control

Overall Review: I bought this hoping it would be a quieter, cooler version of HIS's reference version of this card (which I still own and love). Unfortunately, other than the lower temps, I much prefer the reference card. Even though the fan on the reference should be louder, it isn't because it stays at lower speeds than iCooler version.
