Great Bang for the Buck

Pros: No problem with installation, switching to new drivers easy and smooth Much faster than the two over 700 bucks a piece MSI in crossfire r7970's also my computer boots faster and seems as it is faster overall. I'm happy with this SMART buy and would recommend it even over RX5770 which I just bought and took it out. I put back this Fat boy Bad boy back in and my computer couldn't be happier...
Cons: NONE
Overall Review: Fast and cheap , what a great product
where is the power switch

Pros: 1600W
Cons: @%$@^%$@#%& no Power switch... WHAT?!!!!Who designs these.
Overall Review: I would of loved to buy one of these BUT...see above
High speed for z890 only

Pros: This is great memory. Ddr5 9000. They can run at 9000 mhz but is unstable. I run it at 8000 mhz and they run like a dream.
Cons: Wish they had a set of four and higher frequency available.
Overall Review: They are pretty good at 8000 mhz but I blame windows 11 for being unstable at 9000 mhz.
You get what you pay for.

Pros: You get what you pay for and this is high quality. Worth every penny . Just love it for not only doing a great job of cooling but for a great looking cooler.
Overall Review: Great
Difficult to insall

Pros: It does the job but slowed my computer down. I had to take it out and put my fat boy card back. Just to Clarify that the card is great for the newest gen mobo. Also to help- thru experimentation I found out the only way to have it running stable is to download the driver from Asus. It is the only driver for your computer to recognize the card (which when I used other newer drivers , the direct draw had problems which is direct x)
Cons: I dont know if I got a lemon or not ,there was no installation cd. The card slowed my boot.
Overall Review: I'm sure the card will work fabulous in the newest mobo. 4.0 pcie. but pcie 5 is around the corner...
Bad design,cheap fans

Pros: Keeps cpu cool
Cons: Design might be ok for older mobos But I have 1000 dollars worth of memory 64 gigs and it covers both sides. cheap (idiot) design of clipping on the fans that the clip was touching my video card circuitry. Why did I have to munt the rubber strips and why not making the fans so that they could bolt on or slip in. Make the fins so they are not over the memory or if so cut the bottom off so there is some room between the memory and fins. I took this expensive paperweigt out and bought liquid cooling.
Overall Review: On top of the other problems the fans are cheap ,they are not pwm(4 pin) and the adapter with 4 pins does not work as pwm it onlu makes the fans run slower...again (idiot design) I'm mad but I'm trying to control myself.It is time to leave these type of cpu coolers and move on to liquid cooling and It really should be refrigerant cooling.Phanatek please do not even respond unles u want to hire me as a tek designer.
