bad to the bone!

Pros: Plays everything maxed out! Crysis, assassins creed 2, Age of conan( how many play at dx10 with everything maxed out and get frame rates from 24 to 60 evrywhere! fighting in tall grass is a trip! I fell off a cliff and died! Conan is fun!) Play avp in dx11 maxed out no prob! used to have 2 4850's in crossfire mode. This card smokes both of those two cards! Did I say KOOL yes this thing runs very cool right now my fan is 40 percent and it running at 33 degrees or less c. when I game I usually raise it up to about 46-48 percent and the heat is about 50 degrees c! I run a spider platform, all amd-ati my cpu is a 940 phenom running at a stock 3ghz. I have the black box edition but don't need to overclock to play, or do anything I want to. I am very happy with this card! so far no problems! I did however download new ccc and drivers from ati/amd for my video card right of the bat!
Cons: thr price expensive! Hope when Nvidia comes out with there dx11 cards that it will drive the cost of this card down so I san crossfire them!
lightning fast!

Pros: Upgraded from the phenom 9600 2.3 ghz, and what a joy! I dont even overclock to play all my games! I get great frame rates on everything even n dx11! You know ounce you get up around 3ghz speed with 4 cores you dont really need to overclock for anything! Why spend more money on the expensive Intel products? Ok here's the just! I run this processor along with an ati 5870 video card. I have friends that brag about how much better their cpu i-5 or i-7 is, and how fast they can boot up their os using an ssd drive! I ask them what r there frame rates when playing crysis dx10 with everything maxed out? That shuts them up! they have expensive ddr3 ram ssd hard drives expensive intel cpu's, but are only running nvidia 250-260 video cards. I can play crysis maxed out on everything at 1680x1050, my monitor max! Frame rates 24-30 not bad.
Cons: none
very fast

Pros: U know I was reluctant to buy based on review, however I am very happy with! I am currently running windows 7 64 on the drive and I get a 5.9 rating on this drive! (windows experience index).
Cons: none
Best air cooler on the market

Pros: I think this is no dought the best cpu air cooler on the market! I used artic silver 5 instead of the zalman they provided (only because I did not know that Zalmond had shiped there own thermal compound.) I run a "spider system" All amd-ati. My cpu is AMD Phenom II X4 940 Black Edition Deneb 3.0GHz Socket AM2+ 125W Quad-Core Processor Model HDZ940XCJ4DGI - OEM57523729 (N82E16819103644) . My highest temp was on 129 degrees fehrenheit, only because I forgot to turn my cpu fan up, I gamed for about an hour and had it at about 1500 rpm, instead of 2500! Also when I overclock to 3.5 -3.6-3.7, and game my temps stay around 120-124 degrees in F! Pretty Awesome! All on Air!!!
Cons: None!
