Pros: From someone that have been using an Athlon 2x 2500 for 6 years now this is like a breathe of alien air. It likes everything I do now only takes either a sec or no wait at all. Handles 1080p video playback in Adobe CC like a pro and it totally makes me cry that I don't have to pre-render just to see the scene.

Cons: 1.Runs really really hot. 2.Included HSF runs like a jet engine I had to buy an aftermarket cooler(CoolerMaster 212x) the next day since I cannot tolerate the loud/heat from the CPU and HSF.

Overall Review: Do yourself a favor buy an aftermarket cooler(Preferably a closed loop cooling system from a respectable brand) Gonna switch to a closed loop once I have money.

Pros: Runs really cool. Lowest it got was 37c on aircool and really destroys most games I'm playing so I'm really satisfied with the purchase

Cons: Got a defective card when I bought it. It runs really really hot at around 50c (Idle) and gets up to (90c+) just by watching a youtube video and I had to stop it so it won't black out. Had to wait a week to get it replaced.

Overall Review: If you're just an above average gamer buy this and you'll be happy for a few years.
